Good Morning Althea

The version of this anime I saw was a fan subtitled version. The story revolves around Nikolai, apparently a part-cyborg; Galory, a young boy who apparently is part human/part Crest person, and Althea, who is entirely a Crest person. Seems the Earth and the Crest people were at war for 300 years so there's still a lot of bad feelings present.

The ship Galory, Nikolai and others are on is ambushed and almost everyone killed by some kind of automated attack ships from a huge Crest ship that has been taken over by an automaton.

Galory, Nikolai and Althea go to the ship to try and see if there are any survivors of an advanced party from Galory's ship that can be saved, and to see if they can destroy the Type 38 automaton in the ship's core.

There's a vast amount of fighting, explosions and dying in the story. Which brings up one point. Some people really like the type of anime that involves mech suits and numerous explosions. I'm one of the people that doesn't really care much for that kind of anime, so I didn't really enjoy Good Morning Althea all that much.

I personally don't care for anime stories in which the vast majority of the story is spent in getting people killed in various, often gruesome, ways. I think it prevents adequate development of the individual characters, although in Good Morning Althea there is as much done with characterization as can be done given its violent nature.

If you're really into that type of anime you will probably enjoy this one, but if you're not then don't bother wasting your time.
