The setting isn't unlike Nihei's Blame! and some of the designs really are outrageous. The music is also very moody, and the plot is interesting enough, it's just a pity that the animation and art style are so crummy. It's like watching outtakes of an old PlayStation game. Still, if you're able to look past that, there's some good fun to be had for hardcore sci-fi fans.
