I really like the manga. But I have a little rant about three or four points that disappointed me so far.
Maybe I have mentioned some of them some time ago.
1. I like the whole space concept and setup, but what I didn't like about it, is that the crew never stayed longer on planets. We never see more places on a planet, like more cities or something like that. It didn't feel like another planet if they arrive on a new one. And that we never saw a moon or a sun so far bothered me too.
2. This point bothered me more than the other one. And this is: that we so far only see 3 or 4 Aliens in the whole manga. This disappointed me a lot. Because I thought Hiro would show us more aliens. Because it's a space manga. But in the end he disappointed me with it, just like Kishimoto did it with Samurai 8. We have Poseidon Neros who has a really good design, I am really happy that he is an alien. But he is the leader of an empire which has led the whole cosmos. And all of his soldiers so far, not one of them was an alien. Not even in his elite group....
3. Hiro concentrated the plot more or too much on the conlfict between Ziggy (robots) and Shiki (humans). What isn't a bad thing, but I think due to that he doesn't show us other conflicts like other races too in the cosmos. Again Neros and his army are the main antagonists in this saga too. Not only Ziggy, so why we didn't get other alien races to see? I hoped that we would get more alien characters in this cosmos because Neros has an empire and because he is an alien too. But it looks like that in the cosmos are more humans, robots and cyborgs which is hard to believe. Furthermore, because he showed us some aliens. Is it asking too much to have some more aliens in the manga?
4. The abilities. I really like the Ether Gear system but, I think until now there are too many users of this. Ether gear user should be rarer in my opinion. And that Hiro shows us more abilities or weapons/technologies. Maybe some alien abilities from the rare ones that this manga will have. Like the shining stars the abilities from them are not Ether Gears, or like Kurenai has did it. So I hope Hiro will show us more other powers too.
So I really hope, Hiro will give us some alien characters in the future arcs, or maybe Neros has a another elite group and abilities too. But I don't think so.
These are not reasons to stop reading this manga but are points that bother me.
What you guys think about that? Do you guys seem it in the same way or not?
