Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Pro: Eita had really loved the Vanguard—possibly the only real love of her life. On finding its remains and connecting again, she learns what really matters to her, and she launches a revolution against the corrupt leadership of her country.

Con: The political message is very heavy-handed.

It’s not at all clear why seeing an old warship would galvanize the public into supporting a war.

  1. Striking imagery of the warship graveyard in the drained sea, now desert.
