Crest of the Stars
Summary
Jinto's life changes forever when the Abh Empire takes over his home planet of Martine without firing a single shot. He is soon sent off to study the Abh language and culture and to prepare himself for his future as a nobleman--a future he never dreamed of. Or wanted. Now, Jinto is entering the next phase of his training, and he is about to meet his first Abh, the lovely Lafiel. But Jinto is about to learn that she is more than she appears to be. And together they will have to fight for their very lives.
Review
Crest of the Stars has good storytelling and smart writing. It quickly drew me in and got me hooked. There is no filler and the plot is constantly moving forward, leaving me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. A big part of the show is learning about the Abh and their culture, which I found fascinating. The creators designed a detailed and interesting universe that captivates the Sci-Fi fan in me.
The main plot basically has Lafiel, an Abh princess, transporting Jinto to the Abh Capital. However, it turns out to be much more than a simple joy ride. Jinto and Lafiel get caught up in several pressing situations. Amidst all this, a war breaks out between the Abh and United Mankind. The bulk of the story revolves around Jinto and Lafiel, but there are a lot of events taking place in the background that help explore Crest of the Stars' world.
The show does a great job developing strong and very likeable characters. Jinto and Lafiel are forced to rely on each other and as a result develop a deep bond. There are several scenes where characters will be holding conversations that carry on for quite some time. For instance, in episode three, Jinto and Lafiel are talking to each other about their families and what titles they should call each other. Their conversation carries on for over ten minutes. The dialogue is very interesting and gives a lot of insight into the characters. There is also some bits of romance between the two. By the time the show was over, I felt very familiar with the two main leads.
The animation looks decent and gets the job done. One thing I don't really like, however, is how some of the scenes that show ships flying through space have a fuzzy look to them, which appears to be some sort of space dust effect. I think it can get distracting, especially when there is a battle taking place. The spaceships have some neat designs. The music is excellent, from the instrumental opening theme to the background music that helps set the mood.
Crest of the Stars is a fantastic Sci-Fi series. Highly Recommended.

Content 
Very litte profanity.
Violence
Some spacehip battles and firefights. Nothing too intense.
Sex
There is a bit of undetailed nudity from Lafiel when she takes a bath. There are a few episodes that have girls dressed up in maid-like outfits that reveal quite a bit of cleavage. There are a couple of very short scenes of females in their undergarments.
