Overview

Unbeknownst to the general population, an alien force opened an inter-dimensional gate in Antarctica over 30 years ago in attempt to invade the Earth. The unified forces of Earth formed an elite military unit under command of the United Nations to combat the aliens and to push them back towards their own dimension.

But the war still rages on. Rei Fukai, a pilot in the elite Special Air Force (SAF) unit and designated pilot of the Yukikaze, an advanced fighter armed with a sentient computer control system. When fear of alien infiltration within the SAF spreads, the Yukikaze may be the only weapon humanity has to bring an end to this war.

Review

Well considering I have only seen two episodes which is; all that is available at the present moment, I'm hooked.

I could care less about the overall character interaction since at this point in the show there isn't any. What I'm excited about is the visual mastery of showing experimental fighter jets in action over the skies of an alien planet (that's cool). This show is like Top Gun meets the Abyss, from the first two episodes you immediately realize the unusualness of what is going on. The jets are super exotic and it's enhanced by the green sky they fly through, the enemy aliens are strange as hell as that they're constantly spinning and their fighter craft vibrate to the point that they blur at the edges (you've got to see it).

If you like aerial combat and exotic environments this is a good show to check out. I know I'll be looking forward to seeing how the rest of the show turns out.
