Stellvia of the Universe: Difference between revisions

In 2167 AD, the shockwave of [[w:Beta Hydrae|Hydrus Beta]] gone supernova reached Earth and brought about [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. Almost two centuries later, humanity managed to restore much of its civilization and although Earth remains severely underpopulated, the scientists discovered a new threat to the planet as well as means to counter it. A second shockwave, now carrying physical remains of the Hydrus star system rather than just radiation, is on its way to the Solar System. But humans have erected enormous space stations called Foundations to span gigantic energy shields over Earth and other inhabited planets to deflect the shockwave. This is the Great Mission, the ultimate achievement of mankind and the greatest hope for its survival.

''[[Stellvia of the Universe]]'' is a [[Science Fiction]] [[Anime]] television series produced in 2003 by studio XEBEC and directed by Tatsuo Sato of ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]'' fame. Despite its [[After the End]] setting, it carries strong [[Utopia|utopic]] message and bright optimistic [[Rousseau Was Right|belief in humanity]]. On the other hand, it also displays deep insight into human psychology, showing how true unity can only be achieved in the presence of a common goal and how it starts falling apart once it's gone, only to return again when needed. Unfortunately, ''Stellvia'' remained [[Needs More Love|largely unknown]] to broad audiences, likely killing a possible continuation. To make things worse, [[Geneon]] discontinued its DVD release in North America, among dozens of others. However, it's been license-rescued and released on Blu-ray by Discotek Media.
