Just to check - they don't mean this in a "LOL GONZO" way like Western fandom does?

I have to be honest, I found this very disappointing. The three central characters are the least interesting elements of the whole thing; the art is very bright and colourful but tonally completely different from the washed-out tones of the original; the story doesn't capture the same tone. You'd have thought that in nearly 10 years CG would have improved but if anything the original Vanships looked better than the ones here (there's some terrible CG/2D integration).

I'm surprised people think that this starts like the original show did. I rewatched the first episode of Last Exile straight after watching Fam and just found it tonally and technically completely different.
