Gargantia Ep. 10: Being in Suisei no Gargantia is suffering.
I’ve been catching up on Suisei no Gargantia (English title: Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet), and it is a doozy. It’ s a sci-fi mecha anime, mainly about a space soldier named Ledo (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa, seems to be a new talent), somehow stranded on a flooded Earth far into the future, discovered by the Gargantia Fleet, one of many by improvised by humans who chose to stay on the once-freezing-now-hot planet. With the encouragement of Amy (voiced by Hisako Kanemoto, who voiced Yui Kiriyama from Kokoro Connect, and the titular character from Kotoura-san), he begins to accustom himself to life on the planet.
With character designs by Hanaharu Naruko (as seen above), the original concept started with Gen Urobuchi, with some very good changes made by the director, Kazuya Murata. Now, even though Urobutcher isn’t so directly involved in this, there’s still some fantastic twists involved….no, not those twists. What I think is worth noting is, quoting from Wikipedia, what he aims to do with the show:
Gen Urobuchi explained on the official website that the message of the story is aimed towards those in their teens and 20s, who are either about to enter into society or recently have, and is meant to cheer them on and to encourage them that “going out into the world isn’t scary”. He also said that the feeling of this work will be different from others he’s been involved with.[1]
Oh and one thing I was happy to see was that Tomokazu Sugita and Minori Chihara (respectively, Kyon and Yuki Nagato, their breakout roles from Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) did work on this show, Sugita as Chamber, Ledo’s mech, and Minorin singing the opening theme, Kono Sekai wa Bokura o Matte Ita (In English: “This World Has Been Waiting For Us”). For something of the sci-fi genre, so far it’s nothing new, but it’s certainly been done well, at one of its more crucial points leaving me waiting with bated breath and shaking hands and the anxious voice of an excited 9 year-old fangirl who can’t wait to see what happens next. I can’t wait to see how it all resolves, and if you’ve got the time, I think you should check it out too.
