Through the eyes of Ernest, a pilot of the Goddesses, we watch the rise and fall of the five Goddess pilots, and witness the growth of their successors, including the young Zero and Hiead.

Stellvia is a far better look at kids in space, and definitely is better as far as pacing and character development. If you watched the OVA, you probably watched the TV series as well, and thus, know how Candidate for Goddess is in its entirety. Thus, if you checked out Stellvia, I'd know you'd love it too!

If you've only seen the Candidate for Goddess OVA, you probably get a sense that the storyline of the TV series is epic and interesting. Unfortunately, it's not that much, but GunBuster WILL amaze and excite you with its amazingly epic and beautiful plot, and wonderful character development. Check it out.

Infinite Ryvius

Alt titles: Mugen no Ryvius

Infinite Ryvius main image

What happens when authority and consequence are removed? When the inmates truly run the asylum. On the spaceship Ryvius there are those who would fight for order, and many more who would fight to destroy it. Love, hate, anger, greed, avarice, and perhaps hope are the fuel for the Ryvius, and only one can save those who call it home...

If you like the idea of kids battling it out for a cause, not to mention character development, try out Infinite Ryvius. It's a lot more angsty and more focused on character development than, say, fighting aliens ala Candidate for Goddess, I still think they have a similar feel and immensely enjoyed it, myself... so you might too!
