Mixed Feelings
Leiji, Leiji, Leiji… How many times can you rehash the same stories and tropes over and over and when will I actually condemn you for it? I’e stated before that I’ll watch anything with that man’s name attached to it and really wanted to watch it when I first heard about it last millennium. And as Leijiverse stuff goes it’s a base line. While the animation is fluid and smooth, the character designs are of Leiji’s era (meaning old) The stories are by the book, which is okay, but Manabu Yuki’s young man pursuing the only dream he ever had thing has been done in every Leijiverse production to date. The stand alone character driven stories are good but cliché. But there’s this goddess of time thing going on that I scarcely remember because it wasn’t interesting. Also, none of the established Leijiverse character appear. I love space opera. I love watching things blow up in space; it’s one of the reasons I never stopped watching anime. But if you’ve seen any other Leijiverse, then this will offer you nothing new and different. Having said all that, the action is cool, the drama real and occasionally discussed philosophically, and space is just as strange as ever. So it delivers exactly what it offers. I probably would’ve loved it more had I seen it years ago. It’s far superior to OZMA though and more accessible than The Endless Odyssey. Watch it if you love Leiji, sci fi or are out of anime to watch.
