BSP jumps from schoolgirl slice of life to space faring political drama, looking bright and fresh in the process. More than a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief. I mean c'mon, a yacht club full of teen girls taking on space cruisers? Unarmed no less. I do wish we got to see more of the supporting characters, particularly the pirates, fleshed out or have episodes of their own instead of just a random scene with a few lines.
The soundtrack has been replaying in my head since I hit play, that's always a sign I'll be rewatching it later on. Even before the bulk of the space combat scenes took place I was getting major Angel Links and Outlaw Star vibes. Overall, I found myself getting nostalgic. All thanks to mechanical designer, Shoji Kawamori.
Could have done with some more action sequences, and like I said more depth to some of the cast. But I liked the art style and loved that ending theme, and they gave the setting a good deal of history. Enough for sequels and spinoffs, but so far there's just a movie (coming soon, maybe). Definitely watch it again.
