On paper it doesn’t sound very interesting, in practice it avoids most clichés you might expect to find: the characters are competent without being perfect, they both make and learn from mistakes, there’s little to no fanservice, and it’s not even particularly action-heavy—most conflicts are solved by thinking things through and being clever rather than through violence.

Based on the title and what little information I had beforehand, if you had told me that this would turn out not only to be watchable, but to be one of my new favorites I would have called you a damn liar. Lively and engaging, this turned out to be a great deal of fun, with an interesting and dynamic cast, cool science fiction concepts, and plot-lines that play out in some surprising directions.
