Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet	comment	Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (Suisei no Gargantia) is a 2013 Mecha anime produced by Production I.G and written by Gen "Urobutcher" Urobuchinote Though Urobuchi was apparently mostly involved with the script for episode 1 only..In the far future, humanity has conquered the stars under the banner of the Galactic Alliance of Humankind and its capital, a gigantic space colony called Avalon. But an obstacle has appeared in mankind's road to the future: a war with a race of Starfish Aliens known as Hideauze, which the Alliance is losing. In desperation, they send all their forces to launch a surprise attack on the alien home world, but fail and are forced to retreat. Ledo, a mecha pilot, is unable to board a retreating ship in time and attempts to traverse the wormhole leading home in his mecha, only to be warped to a random point in space-time.Waking up from cold sleep six months later, he finds himself in a place neither he nor the computer of his mecha, Chamber, can recognize, with human residents speaking an unknown, seemingly ancient language, using inferior and completely outdated technology, and living without any signs of war. Ledo is astonished to learn that this place, which has a naturally breathable atmosphere and none of the gravitational anomalies that would be present on a space colony, is actually a planet practically unknown to the Galactic Alliance of Humankind: Earth.Viz Media has licensed the series for the North American market. The company plans to stream the series on its website, as well as release the series (and the OVAs exclusive to the Japanese disc release) on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2014.Crunchyroll has also licensed this show on their site. Viewers living in the following areas may watch it legally there: USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, Central & South America, and Portugal.On October 10, 2013, Production I.G announced that a sequel has been green-lit. Unfortunately, it has become the victim of Troubled Production and was released as a pair of light novels in 2015 and 2016. The only new release has been a two-part OVA subtitled Far Beyond The Voyage set two years after the original series.Finally, with dual partners with Bandai Entertainment and DMM, an online game was released on DMM's website as a playable Browser Game with its own story in 2014.Compare Blue Submarine No. 6, another Ocean Punk anime set during a war against marine lifeforms.Please move any character tropes to the Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet character page and move any episode-specific tropes to recap page.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_121865ac	type	Noble Savage
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_121865ac	comment	Noble Savage: Played with. The Gargantians have a happier and more peaceful way of life than Ledo's people, but the latter have a militaristic Social Darwinist society by necessity: if they hadn't maximized their soldier-producing efficiency, the Hideauze would have killed them all by now. But the Earth-people are mysteriously unthreatened by this enemy. The ocean is full of them, in fact, and they're generally not dangerous if the humans avoid provoking them; though Ledo has circumstantial evidence to believe they will be hostile to human progress and plan to wipe out the humans, as their spacefaring brethren have done. It's not clear who's in the right on this issue. Until Ledo finds out the origins of the Hideauze...

Then episode 9 reveals that the Galactic Alliance/Hideauze war actually originated on Earth, and his extermination of the whale-squids on Earth was an extension of that fight. And then he finds out that the Hideauze were genetically modified humans, not aliens as he had been taught.

Unfortunately, the man with the largest personal fleet is on the latter's side, and thus Gargantia risks being stripped of defense.

On top of that, when the Alliance says that those who can't fight are unneeded, they mean it — if you're old, ill, or otherwise weak, to the incinerator you go.

It regularly appears in early episodes, then episode 4 shows it is fitted with sprinklers, used for watering crops. Episode 13 reveals it's really an electromagnetic catapult; the sprinklers create a water screen which absorbs the impact wave caused by the projectiles breaking the sonic barrier. There is also another one, namely Chamber's limiter release. It appears briefly in the first episode and becomes instrumental in the final one.

Later said by Kugel in order to justify his faux-religious communist order, citing that humans are weak and must be corralled into totalitarianism. Doubly ironic because Kugel is actually dead all along and it's Striker who put his persona, and it's based on wrong conclusion she draw in regard to humanity.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_23ff95fb	type	Brutal Honesty
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_23ff95fb	comment	Brutal Honesty: When Ledo meets Bebel for the first time, he tells him outright that someone in his condition would be killed off so as not to waste limited resources, such as food and air. note While at first glance it may seem incredibly cold, keep in mind that Ledo's been trained from birth that humans have to be in good physical and mental condition in order to fight against the Hideauze, a war that isn't going well for them from what Ledo's commander mentions briefly in the first episode. Chamber's mention that no Earth-like planets have been found yet means that they must all be living in spaceships or space colonies which have limited room and resources, so if someone like Bebel were born and raised on a spaceship, he wouldn't be able to contribute much to the war effort, and would need a lot of care to stay alive. So Ledo was just looking at it from a practical point of view, until Bebel asks him And Then What?, regarding what Ledo would do if humanity outright won against the Hideauze. The flashback Ledo experiences during this conversation denotes how dehumanized his culture is and the moral quagmire awaiting him — his own younger brother went to the incinerator, after giving Ledo the Hideauze-talon flute he'd been making. This comes back to haunt Ledo after he learns the truth about the Hideauze, as well as being asked by Commander Kugel at the end of episode 11 to attack the Gargantia to make an example of them.

And even on Earth, the concept of "land" is also a legend, at least on Gargantia. Far Beyond The Voyage however makes mention of "Land nations", but it's ambiguous if this is merely a title for another fleet/hub/etc, or literally a nation on dry land.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_2f94135c	comment	Thou Shalt Not Kill: More in the classic sense ("thou shalt not murder") than a hard ban. The Gargantia crew and the pirates don't, as a rule, try to kill one another in boarding actions. Bellows explains Gargantia-on-pirate fights as a display of armed force and a negotiation for resources, and states that the Gargantia crew don't take lives lightly because humans are all in this together. When Ledo goes into battle like a soldier fighting a war and slaughters the pirate fleet, Bellows considers it an act of murder; more importantly, the pirates consider it a breach of acceptable force levels and attack the ''Gargantia'' with their full strength.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_31c5e7fb	comment	Starfish Aliens: Deconstructed examples: The Hideauze do not appear humanoid at all. They vaguely resemble Earth's squids, but that's the extent of familiarity the Galactic Alliance has on this alien species they're fighting against. The whale-squids that Ledo sees on Earth do resemble Hideauze in space. Chamber even notes that their genetic makeup is about 99.7% similar, despite being much weaker than their space counterparts. However, their young ones do have a humanoid shape, and they gradually start to look more like squids as they age. Ledo does not take this information well at all when he finds out that the Hideauze were actually genetically modified humans. Or the fact that the war between the Galactic Alliance and the Hideauze actually started out as a war between the Continental Union and the Evolvers, the precursors to the former two.

Chamber explicitly states that the rail gun that Pinion salvaged is only 50% of the power of his laser (in turn that rail gun is 150% the power of all the cannons of the salvage fleet). Kugel's Striker singlehandedly demolished a pirate fleet with a low-power setting on his beam spam, he was actually horrified at the amount of damage he caused, stating he had no idea his targets were that fragile. Then there are the capital-ship class weapons used by the Galactic Alliance and Hideauze at the start. These weapons were so powerful that they can warp dimensions.

However, it's revealed in short order that she has developed a god complex thanks to a programming flaw and her own misinterpretation of Kugel's final orders.

And this may be only temporary: Ledo's told at the start of the episode that his hours of service will have granted him limited citizenship, and the chance to go to Avalon for a mere four weeks. This trope comes into play again during episode 4, when Ledo talks to Bebel. While he seems harsh telling Bebel that an invalid like him would be culled in the Galactic Alliance, to be fair that's all he's known since humanity is fighting a war with the Hideauze and can't spare resources to keep someone who can't fight alive. Bebel tells him that people on Earth need each other, like him and his sister, and that people are doing everything they can to survive. This becomes a critical plot point late in the series after he learns the truth about the Hideauze, as well as the cultist fleet led by Kugel who's attempting to instill the will of the Galactic Alliance upon humans on Earth.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_57b80b45	comment	Fantastic Racism: The Galactic Alliance has trained their soldiers and brainwashed them into believing that the Hideauze are evil alien beings intent on destroying all of mankind. And judging by the Curb-Stomp Battle they receive from the Hideauze in the first episode, Ledo also sees them as an enemy of humanity for much of the series. That is, until he finds out in episode 9 that the Hideauze are actually genetically modified humans. Ledo is forced to address this issue as well when Commander Kugel shows up again and still has the same mentality that Ledo had regarding wiping out the Hideauze as well as culling weak humans who can't serve as a soldier.

However, when the pirates bring their fleet in order to punish and make an example of them, Ledo makes them an offer to protect them. Ridget is understandably skeptical of his motives, so he mentions something Bellows told him earlier about giving water to the one who catches fish. He also tells her that he'd rather stay on the Gargantia rather than negotiate with the pirates, who have no sense of honor and would likely stab him in the back shortly after any deal he makes with them. They reluctantly accept his offer, since they stand no chance in a pitched battle, nor do they have the speed to flee the pirate ships.

While he understands "gratitude" as a concept, Ledo's language has no dedicated word for "thank you", and finds the idea of an expression that exist just to express gratitude odd. Understandable, given how he is raised to be a soldier who obeys the chain of command — gratitude is either implicit or ignored. Neither there is an equivalent for "little brother", since there is no concept of "family" in the Alliance. Ledo's analogue for family is "people who look suspiciously alike." Neither there is an equivalent for "peaceful coexistence" in the Alliance. A more subtle example is when Ledo tries to explain the hostility between Man and Hideauze to Amy in the language of the Earthlings, he reverts to Alliance-speech, because there are no words strong enough for him to use.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After Ledo saves Bellows in episode 2, it turns out that vaporizing all the pirates and destroying their ships was a bit too extreme. As a result, the pirates send their main fleet in an attempt to destroy Gargantia to make an example of them in episode 3. Ledo again in episode 7. Turns out that there's a taboo against killing whale-squids, which Chamber identifies as Hideauze. Gargantia is forced to power down and remain as silent as possible when a large swarm of whale-squids pass by, and Ledo is forced at gun point to let them pass by rather than attack such an overwhelming force and threaten the safety of the ships. He is disgusted at being held back like that, and swears he's going to leave the ship, which Amy doesn't take too well.

Episode 6, which begins largely as a Breather Episode, until the very end when he's helping Bellows to do some salvage. a creature shows up that Chamber identifies as a Hideauze, which looks very squid-like in its appearance, hence his freakout at the octopus dinner from earlier. Episode 7 does a Mood Whiplash, which has Ledo kill said creature, which Bellows identifies as a whale-squid, from the previous episode, and Chamber confirms it is genetically similar to the Hideauze they've been fighting in space. Later, a huge swarm of whale squids pass by Gargantia, and the commanding officer suffers a heart attack at the end when two of the ships request leaving Gargantia to salvage in whale-squid territory. Episode 9, which makes an extremely significant reveal: The Hideauze are genetically-altered humans. There's actually some foreshadowing to this, right before Ledo finds out, Chamber bumps into a Hideauze larvae, there's a Freeze-Frame Bonus in that the larvae looks like nothing more than a glowing, baby human with large eyes. Episode 10, where in the end we find out that Lieutenant Colonel Kugel, Ledo's commanding officer, survived his Heroic Sacrifice and is now leading his own fleet. Episode 11, Kugel requests that Ledo help him to make an example of strong leadership by taking out a smaller fleet that's passing nearby. Said fleet is the remnants of Gargantia. Episode 12, Kugel's actually been Dead All Along. The real leader behind the cult is, in fact, Striker.

In particular, Galactic Alliance's concern about humanity's survival of their existence means individual sacrifices needed to be made (from terminating the sick and weak to eliminating human emotions) in order to defeat the Hideauze (who are actually genetically modified humans) and defending humanity's existence. When Bevel mentions to Ledo what will happen to him if the Hideauze were to be defeated, Ledo slowly realizes that over time human nature in general is too morally complex to be limited to a single goal in life note which is defeating an enemy in war and the Galactic Alliance's utilitarian goal of defeating the Hideauze fails to put into consideration of the changing aspect of humanity. Thus through Ledo's Character Development, he decided to establish his own meaning of life.

The Hideauze are this, but their hybridization was achieved only after many years of controversial research by a huge organization of scientists. They started out as fabricated human-squid symbiotes, and gradually evolved into a single organism. The final product only resembles humans in the larval stage.

Later, a huge swarm of whale squids pass by Gargantia, and the commanding officer suffers a heart attack at the end when two of the ships request leaving Gargantia to salvage in whale-squid territory.

Everyone is assigned work by the leadership, whose plan is everything. Happiness is defined as working for the common good, which is defined by the leadership. This is also what the Alliance has become.

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet / int_aabe2fb	comment	Deliberate Values Dissonance: Much of the first half of the series revolves around the disconnect between Ledo, a Child Soldier from a hyper militarized society, and Gargantia, a fleet of merchants and scavengers with values similar to modern Earth. A good example occurs in the first episode, where Kugel volunteers his life to save Ledo. It's a classic case of an older leader choosing to die because his younger subordinate has his whole life ahead of him, but the Alliance values system means his reasoning is that Ledo could ultimately kill more enemies than him.

Although robbers by trade, their interactions with civilian groups seem to be rather formalized and diplomatic; both sides have lots of weapons, but they are mostly for show, and the side with the advantage usually gets what they want without bloodshed. Ledo's actions in episode 2 break this delicate balance, threatening to cause an all-out war.

However, he manages to dispatch it since they're much weaker than the ones he's fought in space. Pinion in episode 11 decides to fire a warning shot at an approaching fleet using a new weapon they recovered. The other fleet responds in kind by firing a similar looking shot at Pinion's ship, which melts part of a smokestack, causing it to collapse, making him realize he may be outgunned, particularly after Ledo leaves for the other fleet.

Ridget finds one in the first OVA. According to what was written in it, and Pinion's detective work, the ship's main engine became unusable after light bugs crystallized it, and the survivors detached whatever ships could float on their own power and left. This also gives closure for her as well, as she saw this ship seven years earlier, and her friend left Gargantia to stay with a guy she met on this fleet, and was wondering what happened to them since then.

He's also out of water literally, because he spent most of his cold sleep at the bottom of the ocean. Being a soldier whose job is exterminate all enemies thanks to countless years in war, Ledo responds to a pirate attack by wiping them all out. However, once he understands how things work on earth he understands what he did as the wrong way of doing things he no longer uses such tactics. Later, he's also confused at the lack of discipline the children on Gargantia display, and why they seem to do unnecessary things, such as keeping invalids alive. Where he came from, training and discipline were key things they learned and adhered to while growing up, and those who weren't fit to fight were culled. Ironically, Ledo is completely unable to swim.

After he scans and translates it, Ledo tells him to play it. However, he initially refuses to, since it's considered classified military information. Ledo then says that the highest ranking person in the area has the right to command, and asks Chamber who's the highest ranking official there, Chamber tells him that he is, and Ledo orders him to play it again. In the final episode, Chamber himself does this in order to allow his pilot to live while he makes the Heroic Sacrifice on his own. By stating that Ledo's psychological profile is no longer befitting of a Galactic Alliance soldier, he strips Ledo of his status as one and uses that as justification to eject the cockpit. Subverted by Striker commenting that AIs don't have the authority to reject their pilots. Double Subverted by Chamber, who claims that he's fulfilling his mission as a Pilot Support Enlightenment Interface system.

Additionally, Pinion holds some kind of dark grudge against said creatures, and for it and (supposedly) for the possibility of untold loot that could rake in money, manages to convince both Ledo and two captains of entire fleets to split from Gargantia, taking with them a large population, but leaving behind many of the characters we've come to know.

In-Universe he has a point; the Hideauze used to be human, but their biological modifications made life so easy for them they didn't need civilization anymore. As a result, they have devolved into just another form of sea life. Even in space they seem less than human and more like a species of Space Whales who have adapted to survive assault by mecha. Of course, humanity hasn't done much better for themselves in space; their focus on warfare hasn't left them much time for a civilization either.
