Fun Sci-Fi Anime in Space

Overall, this series was pretty good but it isn't a mind boggling roller-coaster ride. The main theme of the series has to do with DNA manipulation and genetic engineering, so if you like those topics then this will be somewhat provocative, but if you are a biology major you might roll your eyes a few times. In the span of 13 episodes the viewer gets a decent story and fortunately there is enough closure that it doesn't feel like the series abruptly ends. There are a few Eva-esque type mysteries that are not fully uncovered, which is expected given that the series is half as long as Eva or Rahxephon. Also, I had mixed feelings about the soundtrack because I usually like electronic music or instrumental stuff to complement space scenes, but this series really loves to use the guitar for those moments. Its only 13 episodes so if you like SciFi stuff you might as well watch this show, especially if you liked Diebuster or other related shows.
