Crest of the Stars

I don't know if I've posted this thread before; there was a malfunction with my login. :P I was wondering if anyone had seen this series, and is it good?
I've read a few reviews, and they all sound fine, but they didn't mention anything about objectionable content...that's strange considering most animes...

oh, man, let's not go into "most anime" land. People who go there come back fluently spouting anime misconceptions. ;)

I've never heard anything bad about, Crest of Stars, but I've never seen it either.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

According to what I have on it, there's some space-battle violence, and a bit of brief nudity. I don't have many more details on it than that.

Hmm. I don't like the nudity thing...it depends on the circumstances. But so far, it doesn't sound that bad...anyone else have something to say?
