If there was one series that Stellvia reminded me of the most, it would have to be Battle Athletes. Both involve girls with amazing potential going to an outer space academy to learn about and improve their respective trades. Both heroines do have some flaws, but have promising futures in the opinions of their headmasters. Add in some extra science fiction with big ships (meca) and appending doom from a supernova blast and you have Stellvia.
Despite the similarities, I did enjoy Stellvia a lot. It keeps things fresh not just focusing on the mission but by adding relationships. It involves the main character, Shima, in conflict with her mother and a relationship with Kouta (don't know if these will reoccur or not). Biggest downside: Shima is a bit of a crybaby. I do think that's the point though; she's there to grow up and hasn't matured emotionally. Add in great music and some beautiful animation using a bit of CGI and you have a series that I am looking forward to see the future. |
