Crest of the Stars is the first installment of the Stars collection (Banner of the Stars, and Banner of the Stars II being the other two). This anime mainly focuses on the building of the relationship between the Abh princess Lafiel and the up and coming human, turned Abh, Count Jinto and the events leading up to the intergalactic war between the Abh Empire and the United Mankind. This is a wonderfully told story filled with many dramatic moments ,some good laughs, and a nice score that help add to the epic feeling of the series.

Even you're not into sci-fi at all I'd say there's still a good chance you will enjoy this anime. There is also Banner of the Stars 1 and 2 which focus mainly...

Yes Crest of the Stars is perfection. The only flaw if you can call it that is the somewhat slow story progression. I personally prefer the pace as it gives you time just to get to know the characters. This series nearly perfectly balances plot and character development. The technology is believable and the cause for the resent of the rest of mankind towards the ahb is somewhat understandable. The music is incredible with the exception of the opening theme which just seems out of place. The ending theme in particular deserves note, I honestly didn't realize that a male human voice in any language could sound so torn up. The story is interesting and is constantly changing course. Character development is where this series truly shines, both main characters are so believable that you could easily walking up to them on the street and carrying out a conversation. All in all you do not have an excuse not to buy this series. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: A series that I simply fell in love with and could not stop watching., By This review is from: Crest of the Stars - Anime Legends Complete Collection (DVD) For years, I've read and heard of how awesome the "Crest of the Stars" and "Banner of the Stars" series are and while I take a break from my "watch every Gundam series" marathon, I decided to purchase "Crest of the Stars" and "Banner of the Stars" and find out for myself why people enjoy this series. This series could have been the sci-fi cliche of aliens go to planet, aliens threaten inhabitants of planet, inhabitants fight back and war ensues. But fortunately, "Crest of the Stars" doesn't go there. "Crest of the Stars" is the first part of a trilogy based on the manga written back in 1996 by Morioka Hiroyuki. The manga was adapted to 13-episodes and featured on WOWOW back in 1999. The anime was released in the US by Bandai Entertainment in 2001 and later aired on television on TechTV in 2002. The story primarily focuses on two characters, terrran Jinto Lin and an Abh named Lafiel. The first episode starts... Read more |
