This is a rather odd one out know where. I had no clue what this was about and if it was connected to anything. All I knew was it was an animation and the artwork looked rather American style. It was rather confusing watching the show because they didn't really explain much about this. Just a warning though, there really is a lot of blood, guts, and nudity in this show.

The show gets really odd the more and more you watch it with people acting oddly and bodies turning up all over the place. It seems a lot like it could be a really good video game story rather then a movie. A really horror based video game with people disappearing and going crazy. Of course, it is and this was based off of the story. I guess they did good in that aspect but in another aspect, it just means it should not of been a movie. The rest of the show becomes way too political to keep my interest. We have a hot shot security leader battling against the head of the ship shes on, and then there is her security team who is pretty much the crackshot, the rebel (why is she here again?), the no name computer expert, the big guns, the rookie… am I reminding you of a particular team in any other horror show or game? The animation looks like an American comic book with its well-detailed faces and sunken cheeks that push the cheekbones out. The cg part of this show is kind of lack luster, feeling like they were thrown in though the textures were as close as they could get. Women's bodies seem to be very voluptuous no matter who they are with large breasts and hips and a rather tiny waist. The main character seems like she is very top heavy to the point she looks like she can break her back. Some of the models and backgrounds look like they are steampunk with dark and dingy colorings and rust color specks on most of the objects. I do have a question, what is with the strange lights on the back of their jackets? Then never explain what the hell that was supposed to be though I guess I can estimate that its to show if your alive or not. Not sure why they would need that though. Other parts of the show seem to be pulled right out of a video game. Some things aren't consistent like for example, when one of the characters wives kills herself, she slices the neck almost clean off but when he's carrying her, her head seems to be attached again.

The script makes me feel rather confused as they don't explain who everyone is and what the hell they are doing. Not like it matters as all of them turn out to be unimportant. I mean, they end up being nameless stereotypes to space age horror movies. The voices most of the time seem like they are just reading the script of being forced to act surprised. Lots of characters seem to have only two personalities, mad and upset. They all seem to have the same personalities and are pretty generic when it boils down to trying to put a name to a face. There is a lot of swearing, sex talk, and racial and gender related discriminations.
