This is quite an interesting anime. The characters and emotions felt are top notch and have few equals. Watching Renton and Eureka is quite inspiring and truly lets the audience consider what love should feel like. If for nothing else but this candid and heartfelt captivation the anime deserves a watch. However, it had faults, some of which were too glaring to be forgotten. The plot essentially has two halves one was really fantastic ( the story of coralians and the earth etc. I won't say too much to spoil it for any of you). Sadly, the other half of the story, the antagonists or big bad guys are DRASTICALLY lacking. The motivations behind Dewie Novak (the supposed head honcho) are comparable to that of a serial killer in a "B" horror movie. This really becomes apparent toward the ending. That's another big complaint I had, the ending was undoubtedly rushed. The last 5 episodes felt horribly compact and blitzed, leaving many strings hanging. Now you may hear this and think I'm the kind of person who just hates strings, well I don't... but this show just unraveled the whole ball of yarn and flung it around the room. The ending was not a complete catastrophe though, the 2 protagonists got an ambiguous yet appropriate ending. There really just should have been at least 1 more episode. All in all this is a terrific anime, better than most. It won't raise many questions about life, and if you're looking for something like FMA, move along. If you're looking for a refreshing intelligent story about the power of true love, then you've hit gold.
