The story and the unique point of view from which it's told make it a truly worthwhile series and a real must watch for true anime fans. It's a subtle thing really, but in the end you realize that you're not watching some sort of kids-in-space classic rather, Crest of the Stars presents a very unique take on the typical boy-meets-girl saga, showing you violence and death through the eyes of children who are caught in the middle of burgeoning intergalactic war.

Jinto and Lafiel's bond is then further cemented through overcoming a series of tribulations that force them to rely on each other for their very survival.On the surface, this may all seem like a somewhat unoriginal anime, but the real genius in the series is how the trials unfold and force the characters to grow as individuals and as a team. Needless to say Lafiel rather enjoys being talked to as a normal person for once, and thus, the bonding between the characters begins. Being totally unaware of Lafiel's heritage, Jinto talks in the somewhat awkward way that any adolescent boy talks to a girl he thinks is sort of cute. Their interaction begins casually: Lafiel is assigned to pick up Jinto, because it's time for him to go to space academy as a stepping-stone to his life as an Abh nobleman. Alongside the mysterious group calling themselves the Demon Slayer Corps, Tanjirou will do whatever it takes to slay the demons and protect the remnants of his beloved sister's humanity.StoryAt its heart, Crest of the Stars is about the bond that develops between the two main characters: Jinto, a human, and Lafiel, an Abh princess - both who are adolescents at the start of the series. Consumed by rage and hatred, Tanjirou swears to avenge his family and stay by his only remaining sibling. Worse still, the sole survivor is his sister Nezuko, who has been turned into a bloodthirsty demon. When he finally arrives back home the next day, he is met with a horrifying sight-his whole family has been slaughtered. On his way back, night falls, forcing Tanjirou to take shelter in the house of a strange man, who warns him of the existence of flesh-eating demons that lurk in the woods at night. One day, Tanjirou decides to go down to the local village to make a little money selling charcoal.

Though living impoverished on a remote mountain, the Kamado family are able to enjoy a relatively peaceful and happy life. Ever since the death of his father, the burden of supporting the family has fallen upon Tanjirou Kamado's shoulders.
