- Who'll love it
- Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved Firefly or Andor, start here.

- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 14 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

The 15th solar system is invaded by the Stressos. Two men, Ryû and Ayato, and a man-ape, Baru, organize the resistance. They are helped by Eolia, a mysterious woman traveling on a three masted space ship.
