The setting takes place in a apocalyptic future from a small hole in the ground, to the wasteland on the surface, to capital cities, to space, to entire galaxies, to dimensional rift in the galaxy that would serve as the battle ground for the final battle because the universe itself is not big enough to hold the final battle.
The story has a lot of things incorporated into it. So much action and epic fights and moments with a lot of thought provoking concepts to match. I see so much understanding of theoretical philosophy and science in the story that I love it. The story gets pretty ridiculous as the story progresses (and it makes me laugh sometimes) but generally it makes it better. That is due in my opinion so many philosophical and scientific concepts are being added into this story I can't help but get excited and say" holy sh&t this is f^%king epic! what are they going to add next to this show?" because you feel like nothing is too big to add to this show. A lot of people say that this show gets so ridiculous it makes no sense. The show makes sense to me in almost way (my personal rule never say 100% sure unless Im trying to be epic). I think I can understand and explain almost anything that happens in the show and would take on that challenge if I have to.
The main characters are extremely likable and epic. Kamina is so manly and dumb that he is one of my favorite characters in an epic and awesome way. The rest of the characters would later all share his attitude including Simon who becomes like a clone of him.
(Yoko is one of my favorite anime girls so a short description of her)
There is also Yoko. Only fan service to some but to me she is the perfect woman. In the exterior, she is a war hardened soldier. She knows what must be done and what is most important which makes her a fine soldier mentally and she is a capable sniper physically making her the only human that can take down a gunman without another gunman (besides from Lord Genome who can take one out with his fist). On the inside I see a sweet, fragile, and shy little girl that is willing to make sacrifices and leans more to the intellectual side than her surface suggests. She won't show it much as a good soldier won't show their true self but in moments where she let her guard down it is pretty evident. She is loyal as hell, not getting married and even devoting her life to be a teacher to for fill Kamina's wish to protect children. Cute face, long red hair, and a killer body she is an ideal woman. Don't say she is a slut because of her outfit. In their setting clothe could be hard to get. Look at how much clothing simon and kamina wears and she wears what fits the situation. She actually prefers less skin evident in her swimsuit and teacher outfit. Also her loyalty to Kamina proves her to be the opposite to the meaning of slut. (I could go on but I ranted too long)
