Heroic Age (2007)
7/10
A rare good one for Xebec
3 January 2015
I watched the anime because of Psycho Pass 2 and my newfound love for series writer Tow Ubukata. A man so talented he can make Xebec un-suck. The series starts a bit slow and generic/confusing but grows into a nice and mostly well constructed space opera. The art direction is a bit less bland that one would expect of Hisashi Hirai but nothing special. The anime should have been shorter but the journey was worth it. Especially the emotional end but the love story(s) should have deserved more focus. Less identical looking space battles could have helped too but they were at least pretty. Consider this show if you want likable characters and a story that reminded me of Yamato/Crest of the Stars. r if you crave a less confusing Xeno-franchise game i anime for. 7,5/10 and Xebec´s 2nd best original anime after maybe Martian Successor Nadesico (7,5/10).
