And each choses a different path as they climb to the top. Each of them faces a large amount of heavy responsibilities and hardships since their youth to their adulthood.

They seem to be the two sides of the same coin. The two main protagonists, Keith and Jomy (who are first presented as young teenagers), are the best example of this as they both undergo major character development. Looking at such an extensive cast, I would never have imagined they could suffer so many changes throughout the series. The characters and their development are without a doubt the best part of the show. As the anime progresses however, the alternation becomes less spaced and finally inexistent, as number of events draw the main characters and their respective races to the inevitable clash.

It fits on a very specific sub genre of Science Fiction, referred to as Space Opera. Is a remake of an old 80's movie that was adapted from a manga from the same year.

The review will be long, since the series deserve it, and since I'll try to look at it in detail (yet keeping it spoiler free). A show that consistently climbed the ladder of my top shows the season, and that finally ended up in my top 3 of all time. After watching one of the greatest shows in the later years, and knowing how overlooked it was due various reasons: the simultaneous arrival of new potentially more appealing series like Claymore or Lucky Star, the possibly not so appealing genre, and the unique art style I felt compelled to right a review on Terra e.
