Egregius

Rated 10 May 2021

Tonally, this is all over the place. You think it's a serious coming of age X mecha anime at first, then the kids are doing jumping jacks in mecha-suits. Then the absolute terror of a rookie fighting an alien she barely comprehends for the first time, in the blackness of space, against the backdrop of the complications of space travel at relativistic speeds, followed by cheeky 4th wall breaking epilogues. But all the little touches make it great. Thinking of the ending still makes me well up.
