Mecha Pilot Crash Lands On An Earth Surrounded By Water

16-year-old lieutenant Ledo of the Galactic Alliance joins the battle against the monsters. In an unfortunate turn of events, Ledo loses control during the battle and is cast out to the far reaches of space, crash-landing on a waterlogged Earth.
Anime Name: Suisei No Gargantia

[@ApotheosisStone]

Loved this one when I first watched it. Better world building than like 90% of Sci fi books I've read, plot was good, characters we decent enough, and the art style was pretty good as well. Most importantly it is one of those stories that long after I finished it it still lives in my head.

The big snag for me with this anime was the frankly psychotic pacifism of the fleet folk. “How dare you kill the pirates who were planning to - at *minimum* - violate our comrades and steal a great deal of precious equipment we need to survive! The nerve of you!” If the story had kept it to “they’re very freaked out by *how* destructive the mech actually is” rather than “offended at the concept of self-defense” it’d have been an interesting element of the story.

[@christopherkidwell9817]

Exactly. Pacifism is fine when you are not being attacked first. In any other situation where you have been attacked first, it is imbecilic to not fight back.

[@TheDakkaman]

@@christopherkidwell9817 It's especially egregious because their big argument is "we must learn to live with them, in harmony". These are not barnacles on the hull. They are not tidal patterns or solar radiation or a natural component of reality, they are a band of monstrous humans who very much do not subscribe to that same philosophy. I love the setting, I love the handling of a spacefaring character encountering the near-modern culture he's in, but I just can't get over that aspect, even before getting into the whale-squids qualifying as monsters in my book too.

[@allarian8726]

Yeah I didnt like that much either, especially since that kind of mentality doesnt make sense in their kind of environment where they could face danger any day from anything.

[@LordPebble2309]

This does make sense, but when you actually watch the show during that episode it was more of a case of. "You didn't even contemplate a way of neutralization as opposed to just killing."

[@delbanking9940]

@@LordPebble2309 This is literally the problem with people in modern times. And, these people should know better for being a dystopian world. Every chance you leave to just Neutralizing someone. Means you're not only endangering your life but everyone's life around you. Only shoot the guy once in stomach or shoot his arm. He can still raise and fire his gun at you. People have survived 15 bullet shots and managed to kill people in that time. Look at people taking 20 Tasers before going down. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Everyone's fighting in robots... how can you decide what neutralized is? A robot could lose an arm, both its legs, and even its head. Still functional and could have numerous traps you never would be able to guess.

Love Suisei no Gargantia, the animation looks so pretty in 2013. Chamber is MVP! He's so badass and he's more human than other humans 😆 To quote Chamber's last words : *"By helping you achieving results, I fulfill my purpose of existence. All of this sea and sky will surely give you possibilities. Survive. Explore. I expect great achievements from your life... He needs no support. There is no more room for more enlightenment. Now, after I eliminate the barrier that blocks his road ahead, my mission will be completed... Response to your final warning: Go to hell, Tin can!!!"*

Hideauze. They're called HIDEAUZE

[@SageofStars]

Yeah, his one had way to esoteric a happy ending for me to really like it. They didn't SOLVE any of the underlying problems, not just the way the Earth is(Which is beyond them), but the resources are limited, even moreso than what our current world is, and the fighting is still going to happen. Heck, about all they achieved was kicking the can down the road a little, and that's IF the space fleet doesn't twig onto the fact that things are here. Oh, and we never see things from the squiddies perspective at all. How individual are they anymore? Are they even fully sophent now, or has this regressed them. They're not building anything, because it's not really necessary, but it seems they've evolved into a point where they...don't anymore. The animation was fine and dandy, and I loved the juxtaposition of the CGI against more traditional animation, it fits here better than most, really adding an otherworldly beauty to the battles, as they're not quite as jarring as in other works that try the same thing, mostly because the tech has far improved since then. But, yeah, this is not a happy ending at all, just that for the characters lifetimes, it's pretty much over for now, and they're accepting of that. I know it's childish, but I prefer it when they try to fix the problem, rather than work around it.

[@TheDJMaffi]

agree i would have watched this is they decided to work but they just accept the state it is.

[@kotzebrecher]

I think you touched upon a point the anime was trying to make but slightly missed the second part of itit. I do fully believe that, especially the scene at the beginning where you see their mouth-claws, which is later revealed to originally be human shaped heads, and all the other setups with his ill sibling and stuff was set up to really show that neither way was right or wrong. Both sides have regressed. Both sides only live for warfare against each other. Both sides do not care about the individual. I like how open ended the end was. It WAS a happy end, the main character finally found peace. And the future was, in some ways, limitless. Would humans now attempt to reestablish contact with their tentacled brethren? Would they, many years later, emerge as a third galactic faction? We will never know, but the possibility was there.

Loved the start of this series, but just not the ending. The pirate annihilation scene and the chat afterward about not needing a reason to kill enemies were the highlight of the series. Remarks: 0:33 Ledo's rank is second lieutenant, not ensign. I don't know why the dubs messed that up for some unknown reason. 1:14 The salvage/repair crew are unable to breach Chamber in any way. At this point, there's no mistake regarding hostility, only capability. 1:36 Ledo doesn't call Chamber out of shock, but that he was cornered. Also, 1:45 / 2:08 Ledo is on the same docking pylon, not a holding cell. You even had it correct before.

[@atalldog4565]

Communism vs Capitalism. If you view this through the lens of collectivism vs individualism, it opens up so many subplots in the story. Ledo comes from a communist society where individuals have no control over their life, there is no money or property, and simple rights like sleep, food, and reproduction are handed out as rewards for service to the collective. On Earth, people are responsible for themselves. They must work, they must find their own jobs, and they must pay for everything. But, they also have the freedom to do as they please. It's a chaotic capitalistic society. This is the conflict that makes the final episodes so interesting. The robot says she will relieve humanity of the burden of having to think for themselves. She seems puzzled that Ledo isn't thrilled to have someone else run his life for him. Ledo realizes he hasn't been thinking for himself his entire life, that he has been a pawn in someone else's plans. His rejection of his former society for the one on Earth is the turning point of the series.
