Infinite Ryvius Season 1 Episode 1 As It Gets Near

  • October 6, 1999

Infinite Ryvius follows the story of a group of teenagers who find themselves stranded in space on board the Ryvius spacecraft, after their home planet is destroyed. Season 1 episode 1, titled "As It Gets Near," sets the stage for the series' plot by introducing the main characters and their situation.

The episode begins with the destruction of Earth, as we see a massive explosion followed by a sequence of news broadcasts describing the disaster and the evacuation of survivors. The story then shifts to the Ryvius spacecraft, where we meet the main characters, who are all part of the Liebe Delta class of the Liebe Delta Academy.

As the episode progresses, we learn that the Ryvius was intended to be a training vessel for the students, but due to the sudden destruction of Earth, the ship has been forced into a new, uncertain role as the only hope for the survival of humanity.

The students quickly realize that the situation is dire, and they must work together to ensure the safety of the ship and everyone on board. However, tensions arise as the students struggle to come to terms with their new reality and the responsibilities that come with it.

One of the key conflicts of the episode is the power struggle between the students, with some wanting to take charge and others resisting their authority. This conflict is exemplified by the character of Kouji Aiba, who emerges as a natural leader and takes charge of the situation despite initial resistance from some of the other students.

As the episode progresses, we see flashes of the characters' personalities and backstories, which sets up future conflicts and character development. For example, the character of Yuuki Aiba (Kouji's younger brother) is shy and introverted, but we learn that he has a deep passion for music and has trouble adjusting to life on the ship. Another character, Ikumi Oze, is a highly skilled pilot, but she struggles with her own insecurities and feelings of inadequacy.

Overall, the first episode of Infinite Ryvius sets the stage for an engaging and thought-provoking sci-fi series that explores themes of leadership, teamwork, and the human will to survive. The characters are well-defined, and the plot is fast-paced and unpredictable. It will be interesting to see how the story develops over the rest of the season.
