I really love polygon animations and im a huge fan of Blame and Sidonia no Kishi. For me personally the show had two big issues. 1. The first was that I got the feeling that they try to justify nowadays whale hunting of Japanese fisherman. 2. And secondly: as other people here also mentioned. Mikas main drive is fresh dragon meat. The show was missing some originality in this point. Otherwise I would say were a bit spoiled from all these epic anime series that fit so much action into 12/13 episodes. In my opinion they did a great job filling the 12 episodes withcontent, it`s not stuffed with interesting plot and action like a triple A title but still very nice.
The Art and Sound design is stunning as always at polygon, so even if the story lacked something im looking forward to a second season. 10/10
