Customer Reviews of Banner of the Stars - No Turning Back (Vol. 1)
A must have sequel!!!!!!! A sequel to one of the greatest animes, Crest of the Stars, which happens to be my favorite series. It has great animation, a deep and rich story filled with amazing characters. This isn't your typical space action anime. The style in which the universe of Crest of the Stars was written can be compared to that of Tolkein himself. Hiroyuki Morioika, the author of the original sci-fi novels on which this series is based, went as far as to create a system of measurement, numbers, alphabet, and even a language for the Abh. This is a true masterpiece.
If you don't have Crest of the Stars, then get the 4 vol. collection, then buy Banner of the Stars. It can only get better.
Awesome anime series
Banner of the Stars is the sequel to one of the best anime series, Crest of the Stars. This is a great dvd and leaves anyone who watches it wanting more. It perfectly combines both a close friendship and political conflict in a vast universe to create a series that is near perfect. It hints love between Jinto and Lafiel two of the star of this dvd. It makes you feel that thier friendship and possible love between each other is accomplished a important because of their past conflicts and signifacant ethnic differences. Before buying this dvd you must watch the first series, Crest of the Stars( which is also a must buy ), so that you will now whats going on. This is a must buy for anyone who loves a good story, anime fan or not.
Space Adventure continues the "Crest of" three years later.
Jinto and Lafiel are still the pivotal characters in this sequel to Crest of the Stars. I have to disagree with those saying that characterization is lacking, it is in fact very well done. A few things may be assumed from the Crest series for the leads, but besides that's it's still one of the series strengths.
This time the series focuses more on the Space War with the United Humans, than in the original. I gave it a slightly lower rating because of that. It was a little more difficult to contrast the two leads as shipmates. I preferred the changing locations, and the dynamics of the original series.
Battle strategy, and space warfare were done very well, plus once again had a very realistic feel to it. As in the first series, the animation, and visuals are all done first rate. The series tries hard to create its own culture. As the world of Star Trek, and the world of Star Wars, are structured to have an independent notion of the future. So does the world of the Abhs and Humans.
One question I do have for series of this kind is why the political structure for such an intelligent race. They use what seems to amount to a Monarchy. Basically, this is just a unified Feudal system, an ages old government with many flaws. One of those flaws being that the Royals are those who ultimately command. As history has shown us, there are wide differences between the intelligence, and ruling capabilities of Kings and Emperors!
