Knockoff Legend of the Galactic Heroes :)
This is quite an interesting show, isn’t it? While I thoroughly enjoyed certain aspects, like the action, some parts didn’t resonate with me at all, like the story and the characters. I just can’t swallow them, they’re just so insufferable. I couldn’t connect with a single one, and they seem to lack sufficient development. With only around five or six characters getting the spotlight on them; the rest feel like generic, disposable figures. Even the characters themselves seem to act as if everyone outside the main cast doesn’t exist, making it difficult for me to care about them. This is a war we’re looking at, the more I care about each person the more I want to root for our team, which did not happen with me in this case.
Because of the hyper-randomness of the show, I couldn’t fall in love with the world-building either. Even then, there’s no doubt that this is a terrific show. What held it back for me was how I didn’t find the characters all that interesting. If there had been at least one character I could truly connect with, I would be singing an entirely different song.
