The only thing I didn't like about this series was the sound. I thought there was too much music, and all the loud explosions in space when, well, there's no air and everything. Although I guess a lack of music would have made it too Kubrick-ish. Like Martin said, I enjoyed watching the relation between Lafiel and Jinto develop and such.

Martin: Banner of the Stars will probably be my next DVD purchase. I’m quite interested in reading the novels too." God, I hope someone licenses it AND gives it a decent dub!!! I've been without far too long and am dying for the anime story to continue. Unfortunately, I've heard that there aren't enough novels to warrant another anime. Hiroyuki Morioka supposedly said in the interview on the Banner of the Stars III R2 DVD that there would be more anime created for the story. Unfortunately again, Mr. Morioka is one of these authors that takes quite a long time between the novels in his continuing story arc of the series. So for us to get more Banner of the Stars, HE has to finish the novels first. So far I think there's only Seikai no Senki IV. Seikai no Senki V is no where to be seen yet, and I have no idea how many novels Mr. Morioka plans on taking his story to. Here in the States they only translated the Crest of the Stars story arc and according to various web sites it didn't sell too well. That leaves the probability of the rest of the novels being translated very slim at best. We fans can only hope and pray for more. It's out of our hands. Though I do think that the fans should at least write and let the creators of the anime know that we're here and waiting for more. For all they know there is no fan base outside of Japan. Perhaps we need to make them aware of our existance? Anyone know to whom we should at least write and send a friendly letter to? Karura said:

It doesn't seem to get the widespread attention it deserves though, which is probably surprising for those of us who have seen it through to the end. The relationship between the two leads was a refreshing change for a start: there's no sickly-sweet romance taking over and they're both likable and easy to relate to. The background to their story impressed me as well: the Abh have a political system, distinctive customs and even their own language! Not everyone will notice these details at first glance but the effort that has gone into the writing and characterisation is really quite something. I haven't heard of any UK DVD release for Banner of the Stars though so chances are I'll get impatient and import them. Believe me, once you've seen the first series, you'll want to see the rest!

Ah got it! When I started out trying to draw manga style characters I always made the heads far too big for the bodies as well! :roll: Something looks strangely familiar about those pictures…
