[Strike Witch]

Like seriously, it is the fucking boringest science fiction ever made. It's worse then fucking battletech. It's like if someone just took a science fiction setting and stuffed it full of twilight zone episodes and hamfisted moral lessons. The actual battles are fucking boring too. It's like they're all animated by the guys who do the Doctor Who starship exposition scenes, only they've got bodgy-as-fuck lasers ohwait "phasers" and shit. The ships all look flighty and way too maneuverable for their sizes. Also when you consider the sheer amount of technical, crew, and random alien problems their ships suffer every other day, it quickly becomes obvious that the federation must have like five ships left at this point that haven't spontaneously exploded.

Also every fucking movie has the same set-up! Here's a more powerful vessel, we can't beat it, let's go on an excursion, let's get beamed aboard it, now it's weaker, let's blow it up. I have no idea how they still managed to do that formula for the new film. Man.
