• This show is a perennial eyesore, through and through. I would rather forget that I ever saw it or consumed any of its content to begin with. I suppose it’s a folly of youth. The characters are the blandest of the bland. There’s typical enthusiastic-about-everything protagonist, cat girl, gay guys, and I don’t really remember much about anyone else.
• The production quality in this is so bad that it is among a list of titles that should have been Chinese bootlegs, like Dragon Drive. I associate these two closely, because I watched them around the same time. If I want to indulge in shoddy quality like warm, rotten Haagen Daaz, I would like to have there to have been weird/retconned American pop-culture jokes in it, like with Digimon.
• Boring, slow paced, bad story, and with an addition of uninspired, so uninspired in fact that it was seemingly pumped out from whichever lackadaisical company wanted to churn out the most doujin stereotypes and thus sell to the To Heart hungry circles (though the source material is mostly to blame; Xebec is an alright company). Insert cat-eared girl with pink hair and ten more DVDs will get sold, that was probably the mind-set behind this monstrosity.
• I could see this as somewhat of a Vandread rip-off with the FANSERVICE IN SPACE demarcation, but it is entirely nonsense, whereas Vandread had somewhat of a cohesive plot. PLOT! LOUD NOISES!
• Overall, this show is really bad and not worth your time. I’m disappointed in Xebec, since they later went on to work on Space Battleship Yamato 2199 and that show was gorgeous. The ending of the series leaves on a gigantic cliffhanger and encourages you to read the incorrigible manga! I give the wannabe grim-dark space adventure a 1/10 for both the anime and manga.
