A group of teenaged students of the Central Military Academy were assigned to take their preparatory courses on the Aries space station. Aizawa Ryota, along with Nagase Sayaka, Nittak Kazuhiko and a group of other students will be learning how to work and survive in space as part of their training. Not included in their curriculum is a surprise attack by the Hallarax terrorist group, who are intent using any hostages to secure the release of their imprisoned leaders. To achieve their ends, the Hallarax group unwisely chooses to ally with another group, unaware that they have their own agenda that will put the lives of both the terrorists and hostages at risk.

Unevaluated Stretch [series:1395#628]
(half of the first episode watched:)

The style and graphics of the OP sequence reminded me of Starship Operators. The CG technology is fairly neat, but the fact that there had already been two guys-and-girls-trip-and-fall-on-each-other-in-embarassing-positions incidents before the first station break makes it hard to believe this will be a show I can take seriously as a drama.

7/06

While revamping my reviews I came upon this series, and seriously I had completely forgotten about it--which shows how enthusiastic I was to find and watch the remainder of the episodes.

Lets put it this way.

It's from the same people who made Shuffle! one of my favorites of 2005. I turned it off after 3 episodes.

Deep Sigh .. this is the type of series that probably will not get posted unless someone like me did it and I have strong doubts that anyone else will offer a review…

It is not that it this series is that bad … it is just that it is really not very good. The animation is OK and the story is fair, but it is just so full of plot holes, inconsistencies and stupid & over-used clichés (or story line gimmicks) that it can be outright painful to watch. One can tell that the story line was derived directly from a computer game (with a very poor plot) and it shows!

While I did not give this series an <avoid> rating, I have mixed feelings about giving this series a <watch> rating… Well, you have been warned.
