Pretty cool first episode. A bit of a slow start in establishing the setting and characters, but that wasn't bad either. A show with battleships is definitely a first for me and it's already doing great at establishing just that. The art actually looks pretty good and the ships are animated well (where it matters). The slow pace died out and actually picked up towards the end, now I'm excited to find out more.

To be fair the episode had a really good start. It had a classic old fashioned feel and the action scenes were on point. You can also easily follow how they ended up being transported to a different year.

Episode Context

As episode 1 of 26, this is pure foundation, introducing the Mirai's crew, their capabilities, and the normalcy that's about to be shattered. It directly sets up episode 2, 'Midway,' where the crew begins confronting the full weight of their situation and the series' central historical sci-fi premise kicks into gear. Everything here is calibrated to make the coming disruption hit harder.
