This was a really good story-based anime. It took a moment to adjust to the animation and character design, but it was so worth the watch.Glad I watched it. The concept of fully printing conscious copies of 3D humans is interesting. I do not see why the solar flare would cause such a drastic physical alteration to Lewis. (Ah, the ending explained it - it was a good explanation, but I am still not completely sold on the reasoning). Although I do agree with the crew’s initial decision their handling of the resulting events was somewhat poor. But considering there are so few of them and so much work to be done, it is understandable.  The traitor and the reveal was good. I enjoyed the conflicting moral sides, and I can understand both. I would have liked to have seen more and learnt more about the characters and see them interact more. That way the betrayal would have been more impactful. However, that would not have fit into the 8-episode time frame allocated. I doubt we will get a second season as this does seem like a stand-alone season.   Ps. I do question whether the originals would have kept their word or would have terminated their printed copies rather than pull them out of cyro-sleep.
