Far in the future, where interstellar travel is considered commonplace, high school student Marika Katou balances her duties in the space yacht club and her job as a restaurant waitress. Following a chance encounter with a peculiar pair of customers, Marika meets them again and learns that her absent father has passed away. During his life, he was known as the legendary pirate "Gonzaemon." He has left behind his infamous ship Bentenmaru and its crew exclusively for Marika to inherit. With one of the few remaining Letters of Marque that permit legal piracy, Marika must choose whether to stay as a regular student or take up a second life as a high-octane space pirate. As Marika ponders her decision, the delicate situation attracts the eyes of various government agencies and the mysterious transfer student Chiaki Kurihara, all eager to see if the upcoming captain lives up to her father's reputation. If the crew of the Bentenmaru want to maintain their status, they will need to set sail into the vast expanse of space and once again become a name to be feared. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

that ftl jump at 07:13 was so COOL!!! it reminded me so much of project hail mary.
"It woke up."
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. A MASTERPIECE. WOW. seriously, the animation in this is INSANEEE. i may find the technical terms boring but once they show galactic scenes like that, im throwing my hands up in the air
it is so obvious that SOOO MUCH research about battleships, strategies, and hacking has obviously gone into this show because what the hell am i watching, seriously (a massive compliment)
ykw i just realized the more you watch it, the more you get used to the technicalities of it and how they rely on dialogue to move the story forward. Ii’s a slow burn for a reason and i like how they approached this plot. at first, i thought they were just dragging it out and that it could have ended by episode 12 but everything makes sense now lol. it has a slow start but im finally enjoying this series!
