Lulia is currently fleeing from the Eleste Empire, a powerful military nation that possesses a mighty military power and is currently trying to rule the world of the heavens.

Gran and Lulia decide to flee from the empire. They take with them a letter left behind by Gran’s father that says “Wait for me on the island of stars, Istalusia”, and depart into to magnificent sky.

Overall, this anime feels like a role-playing game, which has both promising and negative points. A lot of RPGs do not get the ball rolling until a bit later in the game, when you have a full team and the characters are interacting in fun and unexpected ways. This show will definitely grow once more characters are introduced, but at the same time, it would be a lie to say that it has not started off strong. A decent amount of action is included in each episode, and the plot is moving forward quickly. There are two issues that might throw people off. The first is that the plot moves forward so quickly that certain developments are just accepted without much explanation or struggle. This hopefully does not continue throughout the season. The second is that the dialogue is too in line with the plot. So far, it feels like everything the characters say has to do more with pushing the plot than showing off character traits.
