| Honestly the last couple minutes was a bit confusing but it was good to see a happy ending for Yuji & Marlene. The last fight with Blue was pretty good though. I really liked the scores for this anime. Overall I did find the anime enjoyable. |

| What a retarded ending. These last episodes were extremely rushed, but this Gaia bs takes the cake. Life will be good now my ass, especially for all the people who rely on technology to move on. So perfunctory and thoughtless, I should know it couldn't end well after the protagonist started shifting into someone else without any nuance due to braindead sci-fi, and got back to his feet after a classic 'it's me, the person you liked, be yourself again'. Disappointing series. Oh, and the animation sucks. Shit barely moves. 2/5 |

| This was a pretty interesting show but it's let down by its writing. It had a lot of potential both for its story and characters. Marlene was pretty interesting until the last few episodes, after which her sole reason for existence is Yuji. Yuji himself is just a poorly written character. I think some of what this show did was good but it's not great. 6/10. |
| aged like milk, unlike some other military survival that that did it right in 2013. needs a remake. |
| :v |
| I watched this when it aired on Adult Swim back in the early 2000's. Thought I'd give it a rewatch to see where I landed on it as a refresher and to see it in it's uncensored glory. Albeit still in shitty 480p. XD Thought the story was pretty much nonsense and in that way the ending kinda fits. Outside that though and some pretty slow pacing at times, I enjoyed the rest. Some pretty solid character development and they did a good job building up this oppressive and dangerous atmosphere. This kept it from dipping in abysmal territory and was what kept me from dropping it, but for me, it's just not enough to overcome the stories shortcomings which are numerous. Sooo...4/10 |

| I didn't like how the second earth was destroyed. The ending was trash tier. |
| There goes Second Earth. It's never pleasant to watch marvelous structures and installations being destroyed, but this series lets you know from the start that everything is vulnerable to calamity. It's a good and moderately enjoyable anime with brutal visuals and constantly developing characters. It's unfortunate that many of the arcs, especially in the second half of the series, felt narratively worthless and inconsequential. It also expected you to feel sorry for some characters who are killed off despite not affording them nearly enough likeable traits or screentime to make their deaths impactful on the viewer. |

| Less than average show but not a bad watch, the ending it's a bit messy though, I liked more the 2nd half than the 1st one (1st half felt like a SoL with an episodic bug fight), nonetheless Dice was a nice character, anyways 4.35/10. |
| Horrible ending, the show started going downhill after they left Korea and declined even further after they made it to Second Earth. Underwhelming revelations, wasted potential plot lines, inconsistent writing (such us how hard it was to take a Blue out) and one of the most forced romances I've ever seen in an anime. The council should've had a more nefarious/inhumane method of using the sleepers as a way to fight the Blue instead of the council members just being revealed to be reckless idiots. They could've used the sleepers as test subjects to research a biological weapon to use against the Blue or experimented on them to turn them into some sort of biomechs to fight the Blue. Instead they just gave them standard training and some fancy mech that somehow enhances the fighting abilities of only Tony and Yuji from what we saw. The other sleepers were just as useless as the normal pilots with just Tony and Yuji carrying the missions. Then the plot turned into this lame bs about the Earth creating the Blue and Sleepers to wipe out the humans because humans bad lol. It was an entertaining show at first with decent action, good post-apocalyptic sci-fi vibes and what seemed like a nice mystery waiting to unfold. You could really feel that humanity was fighting a losing battle and a great deal of dread as nothing kept going the way the sleeper retrieval squad wanted and they kept losing comrades while escorting Yuji as each Blue attacks intensified. It was really intriguing to wonder how this all came to be, why Second Earth would launch such a massive operation just to get the sleepers/how would they help defeat the Blue, how much has being stuck in space changed human behavior, what type of sketchy stuff was going on up there, etc. Shame that it all turned out to be so underwhelming. The mystery was gone and in place was mediocrity. |

| Well this was better than some of the modern crap of today. Earth hit the reset button so all blue and second earth went boom. One day Earth will hit the reset button again. We are all doomed. Overall 7/10 |
 |
| I think the ending was rushed. If it was the suicide genes (which its most likely but I wonder how they affect people who lack B-cells and they are in the space) who made everyone to kill Seno (he did nothing wrong, remaining on the colony and seeking out other planets to live on, which is a perfectly reasonable argument at this point and would leave the planet alone, sparing it from further harm) and destroy themselves in just seconds, it makes no sense considering what I mentioned. Even I like if it was 2nd Earth's karma after they left the people on the ground to fend for themselves, people on Earth has very little stuff to survive in the future without technology but considering how technophobe the ending is, I'm not really surprised lol. I like how some things very clearly inspired by Evangelion. |
