A full 110 episode adaptation of a lengthy sci-fi novel series. It even got a bunch of bonus series filling in the backstory of the characters! Some of those are very good as well. Theres some excellent Reinhard backstory in there. And the series itself is excellent as well, of course. I love epic sci-fi like this, and the series managed to keep things going in a really interesting way. It was cool how both of the main characters were basically in the right in terms of what they were fighting for, and how they were equally matched in most ways. The cast in general is awesome - there are a couple stinkers in there, particularly on the Alliance side (Julian sucks and the Rosenritter was kinda silly in how invincible they were), but most of them are great. Reuenthal and Reinhard were my two favorites overall. They had an awesome mix to them of being badass and also super intelligent. Reuenthal benefits from being one of the only serious Wakamoto characters out there, and makes me wish we got more, because his performance is just amazing. Although its an epic sci-fi series, the cast is the main thing that makes the show great. I love all the rivalries they have and they ways they develop over the course of the show. Unfortunately, sometimes the characters make dumb decisions just for the sake of the shows plot. I dont think what Reuenthal did in his arc near the end made much sense, for example, but that arc was awesome enough that I can mostly forgive the show for it. The battles and everything are cool too. More in the battle of wits sense than as action spectacles, but the animation works, and battle of wits is one of my favorite genres of anime (no one nominated Code Geass or Death Note). The plot itself has its ups and downs. The show does feel a little dragged out and repetitive sometimes, since it really needs to prevent one side from permanently winning the war. But it manages to have great parts right up until the end, regardless. I dunno if well ever get something like this again (Space Brothers is the closest I can think of), but I hope we do, because it was a tremendous accomplishment. --- All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. <cite>Mac Arrowny posted [p:918718485] in Mac Ranks ...
