Suisei no Gargantia aka ebony tower part 2

so i am currently engrossed 

in ^^^^ this anime i am only four episodes in and have been sent on a rollercoaster of ideas

it starts of with a narrative backdrop of the situation the character is in 

and we find out humanity has had to leave earth 

yep earth 

and is in the stationed in the far regions of the galaxy 

engaged against a foe which attempts to destroy them 

and thwart their progression 

obviously if their are annihilitated

and what does anyone under threat of annihilation 

do 

they set up a defence 

and so we see how defence is in the future 

it is as futuristic as it comes

which had me briefly space out to the potential 

and is this our future

of humanity 

and how advanced technology can become or will become

we see they are able to warp space 

literally create wormholes

and they fight in ships which are more like iron man armour 

if you are familiar with anime it is mecha

and so we see them in this war

and the main character is disconnected from the fleet as they are closing the worm hole 

whilst retreating

and we find out he has crash landed 

and has been asleep for six months and has non tech savvy people attempt to pry open the suit 

with their archaic tools

and he cannot understand them 

so he attempts to figure our where he is and get his suit to decipher the language

jumping forward a bit he finds out 

he is on earth it is hinted at that he has time traveled 

and he is at a stand of with the very same people that were trying to bounty his suit

and you really get into feel of the sense of alienation 

whilst waiting for suit to finish translation 

and even when it does for days their is a stand off 

even though he could wipe them out in a second

and then it is a constant relay through the machine 

though he does start to learn some of the words

but what gets to him are the customs 

 

such as eating animal carcass

and got me thinking of a time outside of the tower

but how the outlandish things of today 

are the ordinary 

readily accepted things

of tomorrow

the clash of customs and ideals is one of constant warfare along with the alienation

for what is made of soldiers in peace time

and a series of events pass

and he has a haven whilst he considers his next move 

but what happens to soldiers in peace time

but what hit me the most 

is that though their have been many programs about body swapping 

that this is itself was body swapping 

in a sense an out of body experience

seeing how the other lives and acts 

yet not apart of it 

and that we have that outside of anime and it is called travel

and this concludes part 2
