Just a bit of a recap of my experiences fo far with watching this anime. As a fairly new viewer to this genre I find it very thought-provoking and captivating. I have secured curious interest in it because it has aroused my scientific, fantasy fiction brain. To really enjoy this you need to have this kind of curiosity. It is not complicated or difficult to understand. I believe that it is produced mainly for the young adults and the kind of gutter humour and comedic moments reinforce this idea. It is not without its artistic merits though as the animation displays will suit that age group and in line with the young peoples ways of describing and thinking.
It has a kind of excitement and vibrancy that will enthuse their jaded minds as most of the youth of today have been brought up to have a feeling of entitlement with few goals in privileged environments. So they will enjoy this gratuitous and superfluous series of euphoria for a few hours of entertainment bliss.
It get really exciting as it builds up to its climax and they gather the information that is necessary for the survival of the people on planet earth.
I find it really entertaining as you let your imagination believe that these space escapades could really happen. I think as a viewer you have to take into account who this series is made for and not get into any complex analysis or review and try to find some deep and insightful meaning but accept it as pure entertainment as refuge from the real world that we live in. Just sit back relax and enjoy.
What I found fascinating though was the positive use of female role models from a patriarchal society like Japan. They had women in leadership positions and amongst the spaceship pilots.
