stellvia animation - 8, characters - 8, story - 5, enjoyment - 5 - 6

plot:  The year is 2356 A.D. - 189 years after a distant supernova caused a global catastrophe that wiped out 99% of the world population. To keep track on all space activities, mankind has built colossal space stations called “foundations” all over the Solar System. After passing the Space Academy entrance exams, Shima Katase embarks to the Earth-based foundation Stellvia to fulfill her dream of seeing the galaxy and to prevent another interstellar catastrophe from destroying Earth.

my review: the middle of stellvia is hard and therefore it’s not an easy series to conquer; it’s also 26 episodes long to boot so that means if you do get past the middle and still into it then it’s worth watching. I just wasn’t going to stick around for it to end despite the fact that i loved the animation and the characters to death
