ok, I watched it, the overall plot I liked but I didn't really enjoy the show as a whole.
stuff that turned me off:
- It REAL pissed me off that Alto could pilot the Messiah while under fire for the first time just like if it were nothing. Hikaru was already an excellent pilot yet couldn't handle it without training, it was similar for the other guy in Zero. But whatever, I guess high schools in space colonies do have combat training.
- also, LOL HIGH SCHOOLERS PILOTING SPACE FIGHTERS
- the portrait of military as useless cowards, while idolising mercenaries.
- the role of the Nightmares as cannon fodder, is a nice mech yet you mostly see it being blown to bits

- how come the valkyries are neatly detailed while the Queadlunns look like plastic toys?
- the horribly disproportionate tits were necessary? :/
- the love triangle is never resolved. WHAT.
