Well lets take a look in our Blu-ray review of Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet – The Complete Collection.

Synopsis:

While fighting an intense inter-galactic war, a mecha pilot was accidentally warped into a space-time neither he nor the computer of his mecha could recognize.

After waking up from a long-time hibernation, he found himself trapped on a planet, with human residents talking in an unknown form of language, using inferior technologies, and – most shocking to him – naturally breathable air..
