Glass Fleet

Plot (From Wikipedia):
The series follows a war occurring in a certain galaxy ruled by the tyrannical self-declared Holy Emperor Vetti Lunard Sforza de Roselait. Michel Volban de Cabelle, Leader of the People's Army opposes Vetti's rule, but the rebels are no match for the forces of Vetti's Holy Imperial Army.

In despair, Michel seeks help from an undefeatable Glass Fleet, which bears the crest of the old Royal Family... its Captain, Cleo Aiolos Corbeille de Veil, a man of great capability, claims to be their descendant....

But things do not work well, as Cleo is now only a "Space Pirate", instead of being the Prince of the respected Royal Family, which was defeated a long time ago.

In their entwined journeys, the Emperor and the rebels encounter the Prophet Guildy, who foresees that 'When The End comes, a Two Headed Eagle will be born. One of The Heads will be clad in Metal Armor and The Other will become The God of Love. Then it will become as One to Restore the Galaxy!".

In their bid to extend their life which is gradually being cut short by the "Soleil" in their bodies, Cleo and Vetti each interprets the prophesy differently but both wanting to unite the galaxy.

In the storm bracelet, Guildy revealed that the two are brothers separated from birth, given trials and adversity since childhood in order to save the galaxy from its destruction from the Black Cross.

Unable to accept the fate destined to them Vetti charges against the People's Army with a Glass Fleet copied from Cleo's ship. In the decisive battle, Cleo and Vetti stabs each other. Cleo wanting to finally unite the galaxy gave his half of the Soleil to Vetti saying that Cleo was the Eagle's Head clad in Metal Armor and Vetti shall become The God of Love and therefore they are finally together as one.

The Glass Ship merged with the Forgotten Technology and became a snowflake shaped battleship floating in space. Michel was crowned Emperor and with Vetti at the helm of the Glass Battleship they head off into the future.

My Thoughts:
If you like anime with well flying ships or planes this may interest you. This is more of a political type of anime than an action type anime. There is enough action in the series but not on each episode. There was probably a stretch of 2-3 episodes before you would see any action. Conversation is the main game of Glass Fleet. I have read numerous reviews on this series since the name caught my eye. It did not get stellar reviews, well, it did not even get good reviews.

From my point of view though, I did enjoy the series but it is definitely not for everyone. There was definitely a lot of twists like whether the leader of the People's Army is male or female. If you like more conversation and less action then you may want to give this series a try. This is definitely not one of those anime series where you would do a marathon coz then you may fall asleep.

Overall I give the series a 3 out of 5. Like I said I did enjoy the series.
