What They Say:
A long time in the future from an already distant future, the United Planets has waned in significance, and the Empire has also collapsed due to internal strife. People all across the universe now lead idyllic, peaceful lives. Banjo is one of them, a boy collecting debris on the outskirts of the planetary walls, when he ends up salvaging a broken-down spaceship and finds a frozen girl inside. He soon finds the hands of evil targeting her, and the entire galaxy being whipped into a furor. And no wonder, because she is Goza the 168th, a girl who holds the key to the entire universe’s fate. Overcoming many twists and turns, the two set out into space in a bid to resurrect the United Planets… but it doesn’t go too well. No need to worry, though. Let’s take this nice and easy. The curtain rises on a highly irresponsible galactic comedy.
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
For most fans, the first episode was certainly not what was expected (or hoped for) when it came to a new instance of Tylor. With Tylor and Yamamoto having now met Azarin, who is confused by everything going on here, the show gets to move along in a better way with some of the foundations in place. With her learning the not only does the United Planets no long exist nor the Raalgon side of things, she’s kind of freaked out about it. But Tylor is eager to help out and get her to what she views as home and that means it’s time to go go get a rocket. Which isn’t easy with as little money as they have, but that’s kind of how things work when it comes to the Tylor bloodline…
In Summary:
With Azalyn and Tylor on the same “side” of things now and ready to move forward, and with what they need to do so in hand, the show plays to the strengths of how the Tylor line works. It’s still a bit slow going and it just feels like a weird choice to work the project in this manner even with, or especially because, the original work has been so far removed from the present. It’s still going to take a bit of time to get used to this not being the Tylor that I know and the world that I know, even if it is the Azalyn I know, perhaps.
