Plot synopsis:
The year is T.C. 4767. Four thousand years have passed since humanity abandoned its birthplace, the planet Earth. Beset by the hostile alien Gnosis, mankind is now scrambling to find ways to defeat this threat to their existence. The development of KOS-MOS (a specialized android with amazing capabilities) by Vector engineer Shion Uzuki was one response to the threat. But when their ship is destroyed by the Gnosis, Shion and her companions find themselves thrust into the middle of a battle with no clear sides...
Story (9/10):
It's great, almost perfect. It really drags you inside. Quite complicated, you don’t really get who is friend or who is foe, and at the same time really interesting ^_^ During the animation we get to know of some past events that marked the current time in the anime.
Animation (10/10):
I must say great! It has a lot of great effects, amazing space battles and nice computer graphics … too bad that I watched a rather low quality fansub -_-; The characters are well drawn, I especially like KOS-MOS, they greatly converted her from the game to the anime ^_^
Characters (8/10):
There’s quite a lot characters involved in this series, some of them quite interesting ^_^ I was most fascinated by the 99th series Realian aka Kirschwasser, about her thoughts of being rejected by others, her pain, and everything else.
And of course by KOS-MOS, especially her skills and power, a true mass-destruction weapon O_o'
Music/Voice acting (8/10):
Oh, I must say excellent … I love the opening them (must get the OST xD), and the bg music fits in every situation ^_^
Just, some mirror voice synchronization flaws were bugging me, but nothing serious.
Overall (8.5/10):
Great animation, lots of action, great effects, deep story and nice music ^_^ I suggest it to everyone that likes all of this along with space animes.
