In the year 2356, Shima Katase and her friends enroll at the space academy on Stellvia, the Foundation assigned to Earth. Eventually, despite being mere first-years, they become the ones to confront the second shockwave and defeat it.

''[[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.
 
"Stellvia" literally means "the road to the stars" in [[Gratuitous Latin]].
