As it's sometimes described, not a space opera, but rather Space Jazz.
I had no real idea what the show was when I started watching it, but by the end, I "got it".
I will say the first 3 or 4 episodes didn't grab right away, but the 5th got me hook, line and sinker.
Great animation, great backstories on all the main characters (some are pretty touching as well as depressing).
As someone that really doesn't care for much anime at all, this show was a pleasant surprise. But as someone else commented, there's really nothing else like it. So you may be left wanting when it's all said and done. Not that the show doesn't have an ending, it definitely does. But good luck finding something else to fill the gap. I sure havent.
