I feel like I sat down for something awesome - Far into the future, humanity has escaped the Earth, establishing giant colonies in space in a faraway corner of the galaxy - AVALON. A beautiful wonderland which offers its inhabitants to have free will, freedom to procreate, and then the freedom to consume and be human (apparently at this point, until you served in the army you are less than human, very Spartan like). The promised heaven is promised to soldiers of the Alliance, an army of insurmountable high tech mechs known as Machine Calibers fight against a superior force of aliens inhabiting this corner of space, and poses a significant and constant threat to the human communities here in Avalon. These soldiers fight to expand both human grounds and find a home planet for which they can settle down finally. The super high-tech human race that honed its rigid tech from war with the creatures of space called the Hideauze, took the fight to the aliens, only after fighting a losing battle, one escapee lost his grip while escaping with the remaining crew to safety via wormhole/warp-space technology (or for Starwars fans, a hyperdrive tunnel or some shit), and somehow ended up on Earth - after the 4th ice age.
There he meets a crew of salvagers on the now submerged Earth, a watery planet reminding me of the exact set up of sadly - Kevin Costner's Waterworld but with classy anime characters (hooray no fanservice and strongwomen at helm!) Ledo - pilot of the 'Yunboro' as named by the sea-planet inhabitants or Chamber (Machine Caliber) must choose between destroying lesser humans that emerged after his crash landing on the planet some half a year after his failed escape from the space attackers that pursued them.
Production value is equal if not higher than Shingeki no Kyoujin, has mechas, and what is most importantly - what I love most - Space the final frontier. What I like about this - it is not LETS GO BALLS OUT WITH MECHA AND SMASH SHIT UP WITH EVERYTHING.
the technology displayed from episode 1 onwards showcase some unique thinking. from what I see
- highly pinpointed laser weaponry, designed to penetrate specific points in targeted areas. *significant because every starship ever is PEW PEW PEW as much as you can.
- Floating technology - seemingly based on Mag Lev of the future.
- A giant race of space octopuses that resemble giant flowers with teeth, seemingly able to live in space, and is oblivious to radiation as well as direct contact with stars and the heat spewed from them (seeing as one seemed to be standing directly in front of one)
- Space-warp technology, reminds me of Macross Frontier.
- A Kevin Costner-ish after Earth. Inhabited by pirates and salvagers.
So anyone watching this??
