Apparenace wise, Ledo reminds me of Shuu from Guilty Crown (mainly the eyes), which makes me think that if Guilty Crown wasn't such a fuck up, it could've been this show. That's about as far as that comparison will go though.
The "primitive" people provide a very interesting contrast to Ledo in appearance and technology. The development between Amy and Ledo should be interesting to watch.
Overall, very excited about this show.

I just pretend Production I.G never did Guilty Crown, so I can keep them on the pedestal I do.
I wonder if there are bidding wars now for Gen's writing skills between the studios.

Didn't they say he had put in 16 years of service (or 145k hours), so only now he was eligible for taking leave on Avalon? I think there's a difference between saying, "hey, you're 16 years old, now you get to party" and 16 years of service, but I guess we'll have to see, assuming we actually see more of that society at all.
By the way, the part where he pats the girl on her ass to get her to talk some more was pure gold.
