----------------------------A world blanketed in an endless and ever-growing ocean of snow. The people eke out a living, either huddled around the roots of enormous trees dotting the surface, or high in the canopy, which spreads over the planet's atmosphere.
A chance meeting between Kaina, a youth from the canopy, and Liliha, a young woman from the surface, sets off a chain of events that will change the fate of the world.

Episode 1:
Yeah, this was great. Probably the most intriguing world setting in a long time, a world that I want to explore and find out more. What a visually pleasing, exciting setting.
The story is told perfectly paced, too, so far, neither rushed nor slow, and we got our hero and heroine introduced. The creativity is off the charts. Only downside I guess is the choppy cgi animation of the characters, but the art itself is great and makes up for it. I like the cleanliness of the cgi, too.
This is absolutely my #1 hope for the season now and I can't wait to see more.
Edit: Oh, I just read this is from Tsutomu Nihei, the BLAME1-mangaka. That explains why I love this ^^
