The anime "Exception" is exceptional -- exceptionally good, that is. I tend to think some of the reviewers were either not very perceptive or did not watch the full 8 episodes. Some of the things that annoyed me early on became fully explained as I came to understand the characters better later on. Music and animation -- especially the depiction of the characters -- are excellent. In some places the anime is derivative, but it is also very original in places. The two versions of the character Lewis make for an excellent central element of the story.
Exception works well as a limited series, but it also leaves open many possibilities for a second season -- exploring what happens if and when the ship full of human colonists arrives, and the fate of the as yet undefined native species of the alien planet.
