Nice, I really liked this show. It's very nice that it was an actual, complete story too. Nowadays a lot of anime seems to be an ad of sorts for LNs or manga.
Gabriel Johnson
Why? It was literally the worst thing I've ever watched.
Justin Anderson
Once again nips proving their shit taste. This anime was a complete insult to human intelligence.
Cooper Price
Literally worse than the Holocaust, it made me murder my family and cut off my lower jaw so the stream of vomit could flow freely forever.

Leo Hernandez
>Dowman Sayman's How Many Light-Years to Babylon? >won the "Best Comic" award. Good.
Hudson Powell
>Once again nips proving their shit taste. tell me somebody with good taste
Chase Gutierrez
>Previous winners of the Seiun Awards include >Bodacious Space Pirates How'd that piece of garbage win any awards lmao
This is one of the few actual 10/10 shows out there, just flawless, i'm glad to know OP.
Samuel Powell
>People with shit taste can't capitalize. Makes sense.
Angel Diaz
>doesn't even know how to greentext Oh, now I understand.
Dominic Evans
>How'd that piece of garbage win any awards lmao the light novel is good

Chase Carter
Me.
Michael Rodriguez
I legit forgot that show was a thing until now, I was disappointed since it's from the same guy who made SKET Dance.
Jordan Johnson
nice, I really loved it also best girl was Quitteri
Lucas Stewart
is it actually good? I watched like 3-4 episodes, when it aired and I just forgot to watch it for how mediocre it was
Justin Morris
No, it sucked. Oh my tragic backstory.
William Brooks
No. Characters frequently act retarded to get the plot moving and the writer has no idea how sci-fi concepts work. It's frustrating that it's one of the very few shows that actually has a nice epilogue that wraps up everything while a lot of shows like it just love to cut it short because reasons.
Justin Cook
the manga ended a year ago before the anime even greenlit
David Ross
Yes
Joshua Jackson
No, the first episode is actually the best.
David Parker
Yes, it's fun.
James Peterson
>Nowadays
You mean 10 years ago? they treated the series as IP and they rip the profit from every medium.
Stop living in the cave dude.
Jordan Price
I only watched/read it to fap at bodysuits. It's well-designed too
The most disappointing thing for me was the potential for interesting new plant and animal life not being made use of hardly.
Parker Kelly
It's nice that a character just up and made a food edibility detector out of some spare rubber bands and gum out of nowhere early into the show because he was the designated engineer character. Told me that I shouldn't expect the author to do anything smart with survival or sci-fi concepts.
Andrew Wright
Nah it's just youre taste is absolute garbage.
Hudson Adams
That's just like your expectations, user.
Owen Gutierrez
Oh yeah. I forgot about that nonsense. Can't have anyone getting sick from eating something bad. Not to mention that planets would most likely be filled with pathogens that the body would have absolutely zero resistance to. Pretty cool that everyone is inexplicably a genius.
