Are we talking about the 6 eps of "Sol Bianca: The Legacy"? --which I saw at Katsucon. (I keep mentioning K-007 because it's my first dedicated anime con.)

I rather liked the revised Italianate/marble interior design of the _SB_, G's new rose-trellis GUI, and even the mile-tall bow effect. (The instant-replicator-repair in #6 was a bit much.) It all reinforces the wealth and tech-competence of the civilization that built the ship. It's the sort of thing Frank Herbert's "Dune" Imperium would do.

What *did* annoy me were the repeatedly-dropped ancient-hints that weren't consummated when they finally reached lost-Earth.
