vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12A satisfying wrap-up to the Lift Off season! The emotional stakes are solidified as the crew of the first lunar expedition is announced. The animation steps up for the final cinematic shots. Definitely catch this one for the character moments and the hype leading into Season 2!
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11The political intrigue deepens as data manipulation comes to light. It’s a cynical look at how space agencies handle PR disasters and cover-ups. While the dialogue can be a bit dry, it perfectly sets up the stakes for the finale, making it essential viewing for the plot!
vanmoerij★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 10The pacing slows to a crawl as we enter full procedural mode. The investigation into the mecha accident is heavy on dialogue and blame-shifting, feeling more like a legal drama. Honestly, you might want to skim or skip this one if you're only here for the fast-paced space action.
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9A sobering episode that grounds the series in the fatal realities of space training. The underwater mecha testing sequences end in a brutal tragedy, shifting the tone completely. It's a heavy but worthwhile watch if you appreciate stories that don’t shy away from lethal experimental risks.
vanmoerij★★★★★EP 8Easily the most adrenaline-pumping episode yet! The rescue mission of the German craft is visually breathtaking and fraught with tension. The CGI really shines here, making the orbital physics feel dangerous. You absolutely have to watch this one! It's the peak of the show's action.
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7The narrative weaves our protagonists back toward each other, only to rip them apart. The sudden diversion of Lostman's shuttle adds genuine geopolitical tension to the space race. It's a great episode for fans of political thrillers blending seamlessly with orbital ops.
vanmoerij★★★★☆EP 6Goro makes it to the ISS, and the zero-gravity animation is spectacular! Building the cargo vessel is a methodical sequence that will thrill engineering nerds. It's the payoff we've been waiting for, so definitely don't skip this one if you love gorgeous orbital mechanics.
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5Goro finally edges closer to space by heading to Russia! The change of scenery gives the show a much-needed momentum boost. The depiction of the Russian space program highlights real-world aerospace rivalries perfectly. Definitely tune in for the fantastic buildup to the launch.
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4A sharp tonal shift! Lostman’s arc dives into a gritty desert survival sequence after his plane goes down. The grounded military tactics contrast perfectly with Goro's training. It's an absolute must-watch if you like intense military thrillers mixed into your sci-fi buildup!
vanmoerij★★★★☆EP 3Goro’s training evaluation shows off some great CGI blending. The dialogue leans uncomfortably macho at times with high testosterone, but the engineering details stay sharp. It's a solid watch for the tech and orbital physics, just be prepared to roll your eyes at the chauvinism.
vanmoerij★★★★☆EP 2This lays down the geopolitical lore of the Nexus project. It gets bogged down in red tape, making the pacing sluggish, but the mechanical designs are wonderfully grounded. Highly recommend for the impressive machinery, but maybe pass if heavy political exposition isn't your vibe.
vanmoerij★★★★☆VerifiedEP 1The premiere is a gorgeous, slow-burn start. Goro and Lostman’s pact is iconic, and the realistic mountain climbing and space ambitions are top-tier. Definitely give it a shot if you love character-driven, hard sci-fi that takes its time, though action junkies might get bored.
martinhuertasing★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12El final que el anime prometía desde el minuto uno. Goro llega al espacio y la secuencia de lanzamiento es de lo mejor de la temporada. Cierre que recompensa la paciencia de los que aguantaron el aburrido arco de investigación.
