This is a very complete-feeling, well rounded anime. A nice story of friendship, coming of age, and space adventure, accompanied by some beautiful visuals and a lovely soundtrack. The most impressive thing here is that the story doesn't rely heavily on typical anime tropes and silliness, fan service, or bloody action, but instead completely immerses you through visual wonder, adventure, and lovable characters. It may not be remembered as the greatest anime ever (or even remembered at all), but it is an enjoyable experience the whole way through, and you may find yourself surprisingly excited if another season is announced.
