I didn't see anything wrong with the characterization. Yes, there could have been more but that was NOT the focus of this series. It was just something to move the story along. The story was about (as said above) the fate of the universe, the future of the races. And that they performed brillantly. I didn't mind the characters or Age's so-called perfection. LOL, he was far from (kind absent-minded and child-like, but he sure did hold on to what his "parents" [tribe of gold] told him). I did think the music could have been varied a bit but that didn't bother me either. I liked the fact that I had to think and figure out with the tribes, what was going on and why. Very good and this anime was CLEAN. The reviewer didn't mention CLEAN. There were a handful of cuss words (if that bothers you) and 2 of the female characters sure could've used better outfits, but outside of that nothing to be worried about. I LOVED this series.

I enjoyed the main characters, but also belive they, as the secondary characters, were way too under-developed. Neverthless, the ending made me happy for one reason or another. I'd still recommend it. Despite all of its flaws I think Heroic Age was a well worth anime, more so than quite a few I had hight hopes for.

If it even matters. (It seems that the silver tribe exists mostly in their psychological network, so talking to one person means talking to one person in a room with the rest of the race listening next door, and the door is usually open.) I think what really kills this show, besides from the tepid first half of the series, was just a lack of exposition of the world and the races. What made the second half good, really, is just one thing: they started to explain what everything is. That's in conjunction with their failure with plot as you described. And even so they got only so far. There are some supplemental material out there for this show which explains some of the other stuff, like how FTL travel works and what not. Bleh.

I didn't think the series was all that bad itself, even when battles doesn't really resolve anything, I enjoyed seeing some of the weapon designs, like the Pearl core,etc they throw in at each episode. Not really significant to the story, but little things like those were nice to see. CGs were excellent, as you mentioned. I enjoyed the show fair a bit, well of course it isn't the best but its not that bad either. I agree that we don’t really get to see much of the characters’ since they are too in the story.
