Starship Operators

Wondering if anyone had followed or following this.... Zhentarim finally finished the series after a couple of groups dropped it because of licensing... It was fairly entertaining, especially if you enjoy space strategy warfare...

"
The story is set in AD 2300, thousands of light-years from earth in the vicinity of the Henrietta system, where there are entire warring planets. A planet gets taken over by a military coup d`etat, and a group of trainees on board a newly commissioned starship (the Amaterasu) returning from a training mission, get stranded outside their homeworld, and resolve to liberate it. Unfortunately they don`t quite have the money to pay for operation and provision expenses, so in return for funds from the alliance `Galactic Network`, they sell the TV rights for their battles to be aired on an exclusive TV channel (the Starship Channel or S.S.C), which is broadcasted across the entire system. They end up periodically resorting to unusual measures to boost their channel ratings -- sort of like Sakura Taisen in space.

OP/ED by Mami Kawada and Kotoko, that are incidentally the same artists who contributed the theme songs for Onegai Teacher. This will be Kotoko`s latest theme song following her excellent tracks for Kannazuki no Miko."

Finally, I hated that ep11 ended with a cliff hanger and 12 was never released.

I think last episode I watched was episode 6 or so, I have to catch up now...

Good Anime. Tactical battles, no visable(or i not noticed) 'miracles', characters die. If you in space and ship battles then this anime is perfect for you. Ending was realy good.

The ending to this show was really well done, Shinon had nothing special about her yet she was a really cool character. While watching these eps I remembered that this show started the same time that Air did, seems like a long time ago.
