Jinto and Lafiel were riding on a light-armed transport ship "Bokbrusue" and navigating at the planar space of the Hyde System. This was for Jinto to govern the Hyde System (which returned to Empirial rule after the Union retreated), officially as an Earl. However, the government of Martine, Jinto's motherland, resisted obstinately against the Empirial rule. On the other side, "Daiichi Jyuurin Sentai" (the First Devastation Fleet), formed with the new ship type "Attack Vessel", travelled to the Hyde System for drilling practices, but...

  • Drama: Med (certain tough decisions are to be made)
  • Comedy: Low (Abh dialogues are never boring)
  • Action: Low (no big space battles this time)
  • SciFi: Low/Med (it's there but not that important)
  • Ecchi: None (absolutely)
And finally, the romance.
Compared to the previous seasons, not much is happening this time. But Jinto has matured in many aspects, and this final story is about his future and his dreams, and how Lafiel will be a part of it. More than in earlier stages of this saga the relations between the characters become the actual story, with a dose of politics and the great war not yet completely over.
It is also a collection of cameos for Characters we've met earlier in the saga, and during the credits we learn for many of them how their lives will go on. Being more like a two-part-movie than a series, I was more focussed on the story than on the technical aspects Art, Animation and Music (of which the improvement of Art compared to the first series is striking, even more so as there are flashbacks to that time so you can compare the differences), while being aware of the wonderful dialogues in many scenes that significantly contributed to the high mark for Episode Story. This part of the saga isn't about action, it's about cultural gaps, politics, and maturing. As such, Seikai no Senki III is a worthy closure of the saga - you just shouldn't expect it to be what it doesn't intend to.
