It has been awhile since i wrote a review for anything but since this series left a bit of an impression on me and is extremely under the radar i thought i might give some insight so that others might check it out.
So to give a basis of the story, the story focuses on the crew of the Mirai the Japanese naval force newest and most advanced military vessel and as they were conducted a naval training excersize they encountered and anomaly that displaced the crew to travel back in time by almost 60 years into the middle of the Battle of Midway during World war II and along the way rescue a naval officer who should of perished in that battle and thus a series of events unfold that begins to change the course of history.
Well that is the basic premise, i have to say thought it is an interesting take on the genre and whoever wrote this, knew what he was writing as there is a lot of historical detail despite this being and alternate timeline and the fact that focus on heavily on military and political ethics. The thing i find most fascinating is the writers ability to remain quite impartial as to who is in the right and wrong, there is no clear definition and every individual encountered has there own ideas and goals but there characters are well constructed that you can sympathise with each individuals position and decisions so you can just about root for anyone.
The Military combat action is well done and is the military and political dialogue. The Animation is very good it may be somewhat outdated as this was released nearly 15 years ago but not that much and can still hold on its own. The soundtrack is somewhat weak as there is not much of a diverse amount different tracks but it is fine with what was shown. The Sub dialogue is in tune the Dub is somewhat of a mix bag. The Dub has a lot of dialogue that is more in line with what an American solider would sound like or talk and that might be somewhat off putting to hear a Japanese naval officer speaking in heavy southern american accent, it is aright once you get used to it but i recommend the sub for more authenticity.
Overall this is a great series to watch , especially for someone who has an interest in Military, Naval and Time Travel conflicts and i would recommend just about anyone to give this a try. Keep in mind is that while there is plenty of action the story is also somewhat slow paced and dialogue heavy which is fine if you like that sort of thing but if there are people who might find that a bit boring i would not sit this one trough. Give it a try, it is an almost forgotten classic that should receive a bit more attention. :)
