I had a much longer post written about this show, but my browser crashed and I lost it. So here’s the shortened version. I just finished watching this series and loved it. I’d seen a few previews before and hadn’t really gotten much of a feel for it from them, or at least an accurate feel. It’s a wonderful bit of space opera based on a series of books that I now wish would be translated to english. And I believe the next series based on them is due to start coming out beginning of next year.
Here’s a review of the first DVD for those interested in reading about it.
