Watching this after Planates anime (2002) was so underwhelming. Its about an underequipped team tasked with retrieving space debris. It featured a kid born on moon with accelerated ageing, risk of cancer, inequitable fight for resources, token compliance of environment cleanup.

- miltondts 5y agoThe first episodes (5-6 I think?) aren't spectacular. I hate the type of humor they use (which is actually quite common for anime of the same era). But when the main story gets going, it really is one of the best hard sci-fi shows I've seen. The trailer you linked is quite good and representative of what to expect.
- isatty 5y ago+1 for planates Though yes like the other comment says be aware that not all anime kicks off well, a few bad episodes at the start are pretty much expected at this point.
- saagarjha 5y agoPlanetes is great, although I felt the ending cheapened the themes a bit. But the reintroduction of seemingly one-off characters to tie up loose ends and advance the plot, coupled with the fairly hard science fiction, was excellent.
