Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince, commonly known as Majestic Prince (MJP) talks about how humanity has advanced and harnessed its genetic engineering research. Originally, the research known as "MJP Project" was developed for humans to adapt to space life. However, it was altered to train humans as evolved soldiers when an advance alien race known as Wulgaru invaded Earth.

Indeed, the plot overview may seem that it's another unoriginal mecha anime, but every anime has its own unique features.

Story (8/10)
The story itself is predictable, but many people may not tolerate the lack of action scenes during the earlier parts (Episode 3 onwards all the way to about ... Episode 14), and causing them to drop the series. But, if you persist on watching, the later episodes (Episode 17 onwards), there will be much more action scenes, shocking (or not-so-shocking) revelations of the plot and lots of touching/heroism acts. It has a slow and dull starting point, but the fruits would be abundant at the end of the series.

Art (7/10):
The art doesn't appeal to my preference. However, I must commend the producers who drew the mecha as each mecha has distinguishable properties. The pilots' personality do represent the type and the color of mecha they are using. However, focusing too much onto the mecha design but not focusing too much on the character design is a little disappointing as the character designs seem to be bland and it simply doesn't captivate me.

Sound (8/10):
Nothing really much to say here. All I can say is that the producers and the animators know when to choose and program their OST to certain emotional scenes, and also I liked the first OP "Watashi wa Souzou Suru". You'll just have to explore it to find out for yourself!

Character (7/10):
The main characters, which are the pilots or collectively known as Team Rabbits, have several minor plot developments across the series, but not enough to make them stand out. Team Rabbits isn't your usual seriously OP mecha team as they have to challenge themselves to improve as a team and they too have their own weaknesses. Towards the end of the series, the team has no problem working with each other and they can trust each other just by intuitions! However, there are several interesting characters to take note of, and they may stand out more than the main characters (one of them did for me!)

Enjoyment (8/10):
It may be dull for the first few episodes after the starting episodes, but the later episodes saved the day with continuous and careful plot progression as well with a fair share of mecha action scenes. Can't say I didn't enjoy the series, then again, by just remembering the first few episodes, it didn't really make me feel that much interested as compared to the me who watched all 24 episodes.

Overall (8/10):
Slow and steady plot progression which intrigues viewers to crave for more after crawling through a few boring episodes earlier in the series. However, the later episodes compensate with its intense mecha-fighting and greater character and plot development. Overall, this anime is a late bloomer, as it really shows its essence towards the later part of the series. If you're a mecha fan, you have to watch this!
