This is actually surprisingly good.We're following a community flying through space in a gigantic space craft that looks like a mans genitals. The only things to disrupt this idyllic image of a wonderful gigantic male genital flying through space, is some awful aliens called 'guana'. The main character, Tanikaze, who is awfully lawful and dull, is some kind of a clone of a superhero from past grand wars this giant genitalia has had vs. the '"guana"'.But please, look past all the ridiculousness that was just mentioned, the typical Japanese sexism, the obvious gachiGASM, and, this is actually a good show. I found myself to care for these characters more and more, and only seldom found boring moments during the entire two seasons that was available to me on Netflix.Relieve yourselves, give this show a chance, and it will give you a good time. I almost promise!

I gave this a 7, which is 'my go see this' rating because the animation is incredible and the overall story-arc is pretty good. Some of the subplots however, are cringe worthy.Anime is hard to factor at times because it's difficult to determine the age range, in terms of target audience. This has adult themes and violence that I don't think is really intended for children.It has the teen angst, that is usually prevalent with anime series and films. Action is top notch, and the pacing is pretty good.For hardcore Manga fans, read the Manga first, then watch this. The Manga, of course, gives more detail and insight into more of what happens. Which is too be expected.Although the action is great, this is a space opera of sorts. Toward the later episodes there is more moments of the teen angst, where there is a lack of strong dramatic moments.So just keep that in mind. This isn't wall-to-wall action. In terms of gender diversity, this film is very well balanced. The star of course, is male, but there is a better balance of female characters that are key elements to the story.If you are a Manga/anime fan, then certainly check this out.

Well, this is short review that old anime fans might find useful. This show is basically some sort of Neon Genesis Evangelion remake, or at least strongly based on, I'm surprised that few people noticed that, and no, this is far from being intense as NGE, but it's a really good show and definitely worth being watched. I giving it a 8 out 10 because the main character lacks of some development, I'd say that 50% of Nagate's(which would be Ikari Shinji in NGE) sentences are "hmm" literally. This show also have some very provocative scenes that makes me want to watch some hentai and some sort of gore scenes.I'll finish with: the show leaves some unanswered mysteries and questions, a really nice hook for a sequel, which is great, many of best animes out there leave you alone and feeling deserted since they have only one season, this is not the case.this is my first review on IMDb, i hope you find it useful, I tried to do my best without giving any spoiler.

This series has what it takes to become one of the best animes in recent memory. Haven't been into anime for a very long time (wife and 2 kids will do that), but I saw the Netflix trailer and decided to give it a try over the 4th of July weekend.In a word: Awesome.The story, animation and the backdrop are all top notch. The plot is bleak but offers glimmers of hope and the action scenes are absolutely stunning. Very interesting developments going on between the characters and I really loved the way that Season 1 wrapped up. The fact that the story deals with mature themes and the trademark anime goofy moments are kept to a bare minimum is a big plus to me personally.I highly recommend it if you're looking for an excellent new series to get into and if you're into anime especially of the mecha variety, it's an absolute no-brainer.I'm highly anticipating Season 2 this fall.
