Reviews

Uchuu no Stellvia is a very special and good anime to me personally. It contains the genres of romance, space and sci-fi and a bit of aliens. The story may also contain drama. If you don't enjoy these genres or style, then I suggest you don't watch this anime, but if you don't mind them I also suggest that you give this anime a chance.
