The soundtrack is good. The story is confusing. There are sequences that are dizzying as everything is spinning. The main character is smart enough to understand his role and responsibility as the son of the country's leader.

As a sci-fi lover, I am proud of starting this anime. The pacing of the first episode is definitely on the slower side. The older animation style has a wonderful nostalgic charm that really pulled me in. This episode felt quite introductory to me.

For sci-fi lovers who enjoy sociopolitical details, unique constructed languages, and a cinematic atmosphere of exploration, this opening episode is a highly promising start.

Episode Context

As Episode 1 of 13, 'Invasion' carries the full burden of establishment, there is nothing before it, and everything after depends on it. It lays the biographical and emotional groundwork for Jinto's trajectory, particularly the fraught legacy of his father's political decision that grants him Abh noble status. The threads introduced here, cultural dislocation, Jinto's uneasy new identity, and the Abh Empire's expansionist reach, will define the central conflicts and relationships that unfold across the remaining twelve episodes.
