Spoilers!!!! Read before going below the line.
This thread is a discussion on a show we watched during club. There is a high possibility we will watch it next semester so if you don't want it spoiled for you don't go below the line. You have been warned.
___________________________________________________________________________________
This anime has got to be the best bait and switch anime I have ever see, or at least for the fraction of the show that was actually good. There are clearly massive plot holes that the writer knew he screwed up on. The first one being Ledo's fight with the pirates. The pirates were shown as a powerful foe that the people of Gargantia feared. They were a force you didn't messed with and their boss had a reputation for being dangerous. Ledo took her out in a matter of seconds. After this the show slows down to a screeching halt while the creator tries to find a suitable villain for the series. Unfortunately this made that portion of the series fills like filler. In fact, the series could of cut these episodes and it wouldn't matter. After the plot finally finds a villain, it feels more tact on than an actual part of the story. Making Kugel appear on Earth was more of a deus ex wrap up that was just a way for the series to have a climactic final battle that it didn't earn.
I'm going to stop there, because I really want other people to join in on the discussion of this anime and either defend it or point out more problems with it.

The pirates weren't the main bad guys of the series, that wasn't a bait and switch. And the pirate captain wasn't really defeated she shows up again towards the end. Just quit nit-picking. There was also supposed to be a second season but it was cancled.

No, they weren't and I never said they were. But because you brought them up might as well about what was wrong with them. The problem was that when Ledo destroyed the pirates, everyone on the Gargantia looked on in fear and horror. If someone single handedly wipes out people that want to kill you without breaking a sweat and you are still scared of the those people, then they better be someone that can be pose a threat to the main character. Instead Ledo throws the pirates boss like they were nothing.
