  In the distant galaxy, on a rogue wild star are 2 transcendent beings; one fights to corrupt the galaxy and the other fights to seal the corruption. Fortunately, the corrupted King of Abyss/hell is sealed in the wild star however, with time the seal will eventually deteriorate; as such the sentient being sends shards of his power into black crystals around the galaxy for descendants to pick up where he left off. Coincidentally, a shard hits earth and humanity studies its origins and capabilities, they plan to send a scout team to the wild star and set up interplanetary colonies on the wild star thusbeginning the new federation.nnKnights on Debris follows Chen Mo, a Chinese scientist who becomes a vessel of the sentient beings dormant powers. He is involved in the operation to scout the wild star; However, things go south when the wormhole his team takes ends up delaying their arrival by 150 years - by this point humanity has already established diplomatic relations on the wild star and become the new federation but it is already too late since humanity on the wild star has been overrun by the abyss and the land is barren. Chen Mo is the only human on the wild star with his robot companions, however things take a turn for the worst when Thorne, a superhuman race are sent to the wild star to rescue a runaway princess. Will they be able to settle interactions peacefully or will the abyss shatter all life?nnStory: 7/10nThe story is set in a near future world where space exploration has become possible and where species wage war in space. The time-skip aspect caught me off guard and was an interesting hook to the beginning. In the beginning, we are shown little segments of Chen Mo's life spread across 230 days as he tries to repair his aircraft. This is a pretty normal way to establish the world and introduce characters since its basically day-in-the-life routine. As Thorne slowly creeps into the story it becomes more complicated and mysterious since the robots have only heard rumors of this species; our suspicions of them being a ruthless species is somewhat true based on the first encounter with Chen Mo and Princess Kaleiti. However, as they suffer against the abyss organisms and struggle with loss, they eventually grow affection. All the while there is a sense of betrayal foreshadowing on the Thorne Kingdom's personnel.nnArt & Sound: 8/10 & 7/10nThe visuals of this are amazing; it almost feels like a waste seeing this kind of art and animation quality on a smaller series on MAL. The character designs are pretty detailed and well informed based on the environment and storyline; the medieval knights armor in a future space kingdom reminds me of Aldnoah Zero's Mars Colony Mecha. nnSounds were pretty normal, nothing notable in terms of theme music or Voice Actors.nnCharacter: 6/10nCharacter development felt conflicting for me since Chen Mo's robot companions kept getting violated just so Chen Mo and Princess…

  Story: 7/10 When a mysterious asteroid with mysterious powers falls on to the earth then a group of scientists must travel to the origin planet of this asteroid to find some more and research it. But the things doesn't go according to plan while arriving on the planet. The ship is destroyed leaving the MC Chen Mo as the alone survivor in a planet lurking with a lot of abyss organisms; so the he must survive on its own with a help of a few robots. But the things gets worse/complicated once the Thorne people are introduced. Thorne people have a kind of special power similarto the Jedi Force.nnAnimation: 8/10nThe animation quality is very high and looks amazing. The 3D models are much detailed; except in a few places but it doesn't ruin the experience.nnEntertainment: 8/10nA good story with a high quality animation makes it one of the good donghuas and the character development is also very good. nnOverall: 8/10nThis is one of the better releases with a high definition animation. The ending may be a typical a huge Boss battle with a mix of Shazam ending; this is definitely recommended to watch.nn2ND SEASON IS TEASED AT THE END {ep15 ending} <cannot wait> (This Is The Way)
