    I rather liked the noir feel of the first half and thought the whole story was shot well – especially beautiful and gripping was the whole fight above the black hole and Kei's floating through space expecting her death. Yes I cringed at the whole rape scene – a massive miss-step!

    Yes, I think this is another one that just doesn't come together the way it should. A shame, really, as there are a few interesting bits to it.

    Oh, and having since spent a lot of time with Affair of Nolandia, I can reassure you it's not at all grimdark and is a million times better.

    Yeah it is good though that the bits that are interesting are very good, disappointing as they are let down by the poor parts. Look forwards to Affair of Nolandia as I don't know it at all.
