that was lame, he absorbs the thing and birdy "kills" him but not really because somehow they can revive him infinitely ._.

no tension whatsoever

Was a very fun and entertaining show. The actions was good and the alien plant was super interesting: reminded me of the star wars prequels in terms of word building. We need more anime like these with exotic alien settings like this or redline. Only problem is that the helper guy died so early. Liked him his caring funny kind

I'll give this an 8 out of 10, but the other fed agent is just allowed to walk away for releasing the Ryunka?

And really? She just up and loses her memory, how cliche can you get?

Ugh, definite issues with the ending for sure.

Gotta agree on the general opinion, could have been better.

Personally i didn't like the overall slower pacing compared to the ova, and the romance part with Nakasugi, while I've grown a little fond of her character, I think it shifted too much attention from the duo.

Now onto season 2, even though, I kinda spoiled the ending xD

It's a shame how they ended it, Nakasugi just conveniently doesnt remember anything related to the Ryunka or any of the events relating to it.
Tsutomu yet again gets put in Birdy's body after all this.

It does explain how Tsutomu would fit in Season 2 though, allthough I'm not a fan of it.

Overall it was an alright show, the first half or rather first 4 episodes were really good but the 2nd half just didn't do it for me.

That was a rather poor shouty finale. Turns out they could have just killed Sayaka and rebuild her body once they found out the Ryunka was in her, but then Tsutomu and Birdy wouldn't have to co-habit the same body again.

Thought the episodes on the other planet were the most interesting.

I am glad they did not become a couple at the end, the amnesia was a great touch. personally i did not like Senkawa more than anything, he changed on Birdy at the crucial moment and chose the girl, what a shameless bastard. He deserved unhappiness and hope he wont get his body forever.

That was resolved a bit too easily but pretty much how I expected it to play out.

Tsutomu gets the Ryunka transferred into him from Nakasugi, she's safe, he let's himself get killed killing it, back to sharing bodies with Birdy. Wonder what's next for season 2.

ehhhhhh... just what I expected, a half assed last episode for the sake of forcing a second season, in this case I almost wish it would have ended with a typical 00s dismal ending like it probably originally would have. I also bet the second part will suck too.

Decent season with some flaws but some nice plot. Glad that Sayaka only lost her memory. Also nice to see Tsutomu die twice...even though the second time was more heroic and voluntarily, at least he is inside best girl Birdy again ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It was fairly predictable but there really was no way out of the main story. The details about the love interest and losing memories.....I hated to see her go all amnesia. This means the annoying as heck classmate will be back in Season 2. I will give that a miss since I dislike her very much. All in all...not a bad series. 7/10 is about right.

Eh, Tsutomu became very irritating toward the end. His stubbornness led to thousands of people dying. Glad it's over, I didn't enjoy it much. Maybe the cipher OVA will be better

The show's descent from fun fast-paced action series into stock juvenile melodrama trash was disappointing. In the second half, Birdy herself is essentially reduced to the level of supporting character - why did the creators think the audience would want that? By the end, the "Let's go have a good time" ED song felt like a joke because of how inappropriate it was.
