Summary:
The story begins in the distant future in the far reaches of the galaxy. The Human Galactic Alliance has been constantly fighting for its survival against a grotesque race of beings called "Hidiaazu." During an intense battle, the young lieutenant Redo and his humanoid mobile weapon Chamber are swallowed up into a distortion of time and space. Waking from his artificially induced hibernation, Redo realizes that he has arrived on Earth, the planet on the lost frontier. On this planet that was completely flooded by the seas, people live in fleets of giant ships, salvaging relics from the seas' depths in order to survive. Redo arrives on one of the fleets called Gargantia. With no knowledge of the planet's history or culture, he is forced to live alongside Amy, a 15-year-old girl who serves as a messenger aboard the Gargantia fleet. To Redo, who has lived a life where he knows nothing but fighting, these days of peace continue to surprise him.
I really like the way the mech translates between languages. In some movies the portrayal of people speaking different languages is awkward. Here, it works.
There were several instances where I was impressed with the above average animation.
The way a soldier born and bred interacts with 'natural' humans is touching.
The first couple episodes got me interested enough to continue. Episode 4 is my favorite so far (I have only watched up to episode 5). I expect to finish it and want more!

The series seems to be a good one. However, everyone is posting episodes here:

On top of that, after the first episode, these are all labeled as english, but are not.
