it has Nagi no Asukara's vibe with actually interesting and compelling characters you would like to hang aroung, eyecandy designs, relaxed direction and excellent special effects on the visual side and fast paced plot with clean cut emotion scenes, introvertish type of narrative and casual humour which isn't shoved straight up into viewer's face in a storytelling profile. I was prepaired to watch this show solely because of dazzling glassblowing theme, just hope there would be as less supernatural bullshit as possible.

+ Show Spoiler [About that intro] +
Honestly, wasn't fond of direction and plot handling for first half of episode at all, but the second part is alone worth the praise. Touka is so much Noein it hurts, guro handled right is delicious.

Usagi's seiyu is doing a tremendous work, didn't expect it, hands up for her! Animation, coloring and scene direction are top-notch, direct manga adaptation at it's finest, OP and ED are crazy good, but god, how I hate this fucking cat! Tuxedo is a crappy retard dude, too. And I'd have to wait to for a course to see Venus and Uranus in action once again, right?

Couldn't care less about visual approach, sub-par music and cheap, even broken sometimes, animation, stereotype stereotype characters, obnoxious fanservice and all that fansy stuff we usually tediously nitpick. I came here for delicous knowledge bombs drops and I left satisfied and hungry for more, after I was prepaired to instadrop the show after PV.

Characters we are supposed to sympathize to (Terrans) have nice profiles and smart narrative to introduce them with decent acting provided to deliver the story. I enjoyed several eager eggs, and MC general approach, his sister is totally my type and drinking cynical soldier chacter type never gets redundant. Mars dudes on the other side of fence are flat borring stereotypes with inferior seiyu work, but that has to be expected and Yuki Kajiura is love. Now, you may have thought you have heard me ranting enough in this post already? Guess what, I am just starting up.

I am going to bash the setting of this show down to the bloody oblivion. First of all, Gundam has done that type of story several times already, and it has done it way better. 39 FLOATING CASTLES in a sky that do jack shit for 15 years when they can magically wipe all of Earth Union's armies in one sweep are going to be beaten by some mysterious OP mech and then we would suddenly get to know they were forced into doing evil and fragile and peacefull and loveful in heart, no I am not buying it.

The studio is specified at pursuing that "so real it makes it more epic" kind of design philosphy, yet Gen comes up with a plot of neo-human civilization with unhuman power which openly hates ordinary people they don't slighltly interact with, and uses plagiarized mechas and godawful spaceship and uniform designs on top of retarded outdated military hierarchy to achieve what kind of goal exactly? Where's the common sitizens, you bastard, how their colony is even functioning on Mars, and if you can use godlike hax teleportation mystic technology the flying duck you are wasting your ass up in Milky way doing nothing then and..

You know they blew out the Moon. It should be cool, they said. FOR FUCKS SAKE DO WRITERS HAVE EVER ATTENDED A DAMN SINGLE PHYSICS LESSON AT SCHOOL? [if their common sense isn't enough]. That's the most retarded thing I've ever seen in sci-fi disaster scenarios, it's fucking self-evident the life on Earth would cease to exist as we know it after such an event, and what's that even for? Just to namedrop it in some dialogue to highlight the undeliberated thinking incapability of Earth's rulling government (how fitting, the single handily worst mecha trope up to date) in their futile tries to establish an alliance with that unholy bastrads and conceal the sad truth and you know maybe we can build an artificial Moon from space junk in the end with rainbows flying all over it and it would be cool, why don't you like?

Heck, Urobuchi, Gargantia was uncomfortable for me enough, but at least that was for a specific reason, there were philosophical thoughts placed into the concept, and you were borrowing from Western sources. Same story with Psycho Pass. But I can't see any positive thing coming out of Aldnoah and it makes me worry about your solo-scripted film which is scheduled to be released this year a little, though I've heard Kamen Rider Gaim is quite right up the alley, but it is more fanboy type of project, so I can't consider you safe from becoming lazy sell-out yet.
