Hmm, it looks like the story is taking a different approach than what I previously thought, we're going to have some romance. Anyway that's fine by me, I'm enjoying it so far.

I haven't got a list, but if I did, she would be in the high rankers.

So that's how they met. Weh. Going for better it seems. Good dialog and Lafiel is quite interesting.
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.

I take it knowledge from Banner of the Stars is required to make that assumption. Looking forward to her development then.

Now what was with that war sequence at the end. Seemed very out of place.

So . . . He is going to be accepted as an honorary Abh? Rather, why did he think he could handle the space flight as well as she could because he was a lander? Wouldn't it be the opposite then?

This. You could really there's genuine friendship between Dourin and Jinto with the way the interacted. Then there's Lafiel who immediately felt likable just by the way she talks to Jinto.

"There's no beautiful cabin attendants but there's a good-looking pilot."

I'm really liking this :D

"Well are there any beautiful cabin attendants?"

Lafiel, marry me

The moment when Jinteh asks Lafiel's name is one of fav anime moments of all. The snowy background, the beautiful OST just adds to the magical atmosphere.

Lafiel definitely seems likable. I also appreciate the potential to explore the Abh culture here.

Hm, so the Abh can connect to their ships. It seems like it would be a cybernetic enhancement, but she mentioned being born with it. Interesting. Also, they mentioned that Abh's live for about 200 years, which I don't find that hard to swallow. It's roughly double a long human lifespan.

It was a fun episode.

Definitely showing its age, but I like how it's taking its time to develop the story.

interesting. lafiel looks like a good character that isn't irritating. love the conversation between them because of their differences. jinto asking questions about how things work with their advanced technology and lafiel asking him about their common courtesy and whether their technology was really that interesting

the music was still good. good episode

One of my favorite new series :]

A bit slower than I would have liked. How long does it take to launch a shuttle? A little too long.

What's up with that war/destruction montage at the end?

Very good episode..
The farewell scene in the first half is really smooth and natural ...

This episode is surprisingly good, it doesn't felt weird or confusing like other anime from the same genre.

Lafiel isn't as cold as I thought she would be. Right off the bat she's capable of joking around with Jinto and showing him the ropes. She still has pride in her customs and race, but it's subtle enough to not be some sort of defining character trait. Dourin also seems like a great pal, especially considering how contentious Jinto's status is with his fellow humans.

The full names of the Abh are terrible though, lol. It's like you just ran your hand over a keyboard and then added a few vowels here and there, if even. Lafiel didn't bother with them, and she's an Abh herself.
