Goofs:

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the beginning, Kei hits Marie which is the interface of the spacecraft. When this happens, the ship is out of control. At the moment when this happens, Kazami requests to be teleported to the bridge, but she doesn't use the phrase "This is a Priority One", as this is the phrase that carries the action.

Quotes:

Hyosuke Magumo: Seaweed!

An Anime Worth Watching

For someone who has seen the first 150 episodes of Naruto, the first two seasons of Ranma 1/2, about 75 or so episodes of Inuyasha, all 28 episodes of .hack//SIGN, all 26 episodes of His and Her Circumstances, all 6 episodes of FLCL, the first 27 episodes of FullMetal Alchemist,OVA 1 and 2 of Ai No Kusabi, and all 13 episodes of Please Teacher, I am glad to say that this anime has some of the most funniest scene's I've ever seen in... well... in any anime! This anime has love, sorrow, science fiction, fantasy, humor and all the body that makes a good anime. The characters are introduced in interesting ways and each is unique and different. Each character has a role in the story and none of them are plain or ordinary. The characters also grow within and along with the plot of the story which makes this anime one worth watching! I know I'm glad I bought it!
