Well, that's the #CrestOfTheStars recap movie.

It just recaps the plot of the first season (Crest of the Stars), but this is actually a good thing because I watched the show years ago. I remembered some of the major plot moments, but not the whole course of the story.

I do wish there were better subs. Maybe there are but I don't have them on hand. Also the storytelling left out a few details, but so be it. The fact that I remembered them is proof the recap movie did its job.

So far this year I've watched 9 cours, 3 shorter works (a catch-all category for specials, OVAs, extras, etc.), and now 1 movie.

I have a 37 page paper I wrote on #CrestOfTheStars / #BannerOfTheStars from grad school. I am wondering about giving it another pass and sending it to some journals.

Anyone have any suggestions for #journals that might take essays about identity and hybridity in hard-edge #sciFi and #anime?

I didn't expect that epilogue, but I'm glad to see that promises were kept.

We've been in Space for so much of the story, but now the roles are reversed and it's Lafiel who's the fish out of water while Jinto has his turn to take the lead.

Also, I just love that the Abh Empress declares war against 4 other nations so casually, despite the fact that the only victory we've observed of theirs so far was the occupation of Jinto's barely armed home planet.

The Abh may seem cold and reckless, but they're not heartless fools; their thought processes are just so alien to the rest of humanity. Despite that, even a princess of a royal family isn't unexpendable if it serves the Humankind Empire of Abh. #CrestOfTheStars

Baron Febdash is an utterly contemptible creature, yet Lafiel is able to calmly enjoy the meal while her hate is on clear display in the form of a smile. The Abh are not to be trifled with. #CrestOfTheStars
