One of those series that gets a lot of grief because of fanservice has arrived on Hulu as Sentai Filmworks is now streaming Divergence Eve and Divergence Eve: Misaki Chronicles. The show originally aired in late 2003 and got its attention because of the character designs, which obscured for many a really solid science fiction story presented within it. You can read our thoughts on both seasons in full here. While Sentai Filmworks released the series back in 2013, it’s now available in full for both seasons in its original Japanese language with English subtitles, though those that subscribe to Hulu can watch this show on your TV and mobile devices.
Plot concept: In the early 21st century, the discovery of the first wormhole made faster-than-light travel possible. However, what promised to be a gateway to the stars also proved to be a Pandora’s Box, and the process of jumping through space via parallel universes unleashed terrifying consequences. Now a quarter millennia later, the deep space outpost Watcher’s Nest must stand on guard, defending the vanguard of humanity against attacks by the monstrous Ghoul, who emerge from alternate time streams and turn their victims into the living undead horrors known as Necromancers.
For newly arriving cadets Misaki, Luxandra, Susanna and Kiri, it’s going to be an assignment in hell as they train to become members of the elite Seraphim Squadron. This is a war mankind has been losing, and a new, top-secret plan to take the fight back to the Ghoul may end up costing them their minds, lives, and even their humanity. At the edge of known space, fighting an enemy from beyond time, the battle to keep the final frontier from becoming mankind’s final resting place has begun!
