In Summary:
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Heroic Age overall but the series really made me smile throughout both its parts. There’s a big sweeping scale to it that I adore and it has a fun and engaging cast, even if most of them are surface characters at best. What works is that we’re seeing the Tribes fighting for survival and their place in the universe based on what the Tribe of Gold has laid out before them. The motivations of that Tribe aren’t always clear but seeing how they worked things, manipulated and “taught” the other Tribes through time, is just a real pleasure to see. With fantastic character designs, a great sense of scale, beautiful animation and some impressive action sequences towards the end, Heroic Age is a show that definitely has replay value and leaves a lasting impression. Definitely recommended.

I really enjoyed watching this series. Like what Chris said, the animation and designs were great. It's one of the better space opera/epic series that I have seen.

This was a worthy ending to this series, full of action, political manuvering, space battles. a modern epic space opera.
