No awards for this anime anytime soon, so hey if you like obsucrity this is it. This story's plotline is a very sturdy, but boring. After the "Hammer of Eden" hit in this anime's world the world became flooded. The world seems at peace until the Ulyses begins to strike the small island that Isla and Keel, the main characters, live in. The thing about this anime is that it's just a military drama. It's just too boring. Nothing ever really happens and when it does it's at the very end of the episode. The whole "world is split up into alliances" bit isjust so odd that I couldn't even tell where they were. Some times it was India, sometimes it was Japan. Honestly, the whole storyline tries to be deep when in reality it isn't anything big. There are some gags that just aren't funny, but I did crack up at the idea of Keel being a father figure for Isla's baby when he is so immature himself.

Let's get to the art. Keel looks like a big Ed (FMA) rip-off. Everything from the pony tail to the hair color. Boy, do the captains look familiar. Picture every asshole in anime as the captains. It seems like all the characters' designs in this anime were ripped off from another series. Honestly, this REALLY turned me off. The submarines are well designed and that's where this anime truly shines. I was about to fall asleep during that last few episodes but this REALLY woke me up. It was like seeing CGI for the very first time.

The characters are nothing special. Aside from a few gags, none of the characters stood out. Teen was so faux-stoic that it was hillarious. It was obvious he was covering for something from the very beginning. Keel is so hot headedly stereotypical that the jokes WERE funny. Isla was a bit of a fresh air. Despite being the mother figure attitude the fact that she was a pregnant anime character seemed oh so novel to me.

Golly, this anime's dubbing couldn't have been more disturbing even if they tried. I normally defend dubs, but gosh Keel sounds so gay. I mean literally he sounds like a flamer, no offense. Isla is...who played Isla? All the other characters are flat line. The audio is 2.0 but it sounds worse. The BGM isn't really that bad. It goes well during the sad moments and well during the happy moments.

This anime is all over the place. I seriously can't place one single grade on it.

Pros:
- Nice BGM.
- Amazing submarine visuals.

Cons:
- Boring storyline.
- Unfunny gags.

This anime gets 6 "Boooshhhh!!" out of 10.
