Bah, this turned out to be a disappointing series. There was a lack of focus throughout and the interesting setting was wasted on a highschool drama plot. The ending barely raised the stakes of a lacklustre series. I wish they'd had a bigger budget and a better writer, because the actual universe painted by the creator is really quite interesting and unique. It just wasn't well portrayed here, at all.

Ah well.

I rather enjoyed this series, especially overall. The blend of sci-fi and school drama was I think unique. I would have enjoyed a more definitive conclusion though. How they left it, felt like maybe they had chopped a couple episodes out. And what with this being a pseudo yuri show, I'd have liked to have seen a bit more yuri action. Well, no scratch that, I'd have liked to have seen more then just holding hands.

The yuri is much more overt in the manga...

Another thing I didn't like was the Buck Rogers style uniforms the alien girls had. It was just too obviously designed for moe impact rather than practicality. Another thing the manga did better.

I'd like to say this was a good series, but I just can't. There are too many things I don't like about it.
