Official JAXA anime about space exploration (sounds weird, huh?)

But it's true:

I'm not a particular fan of anime... But I have nothing against it... And I love anything about space... I will give it a try!

I never liked anime too but after "Ghost in the shell" and "Planetes" I changed my mind

Oh. god. It's so full of stereotypes =D

Looks like a commercial for JAXA thrown together in a week. If you're looking for an actual story then this isn't what you're looking for. I mean seriously, what does getting drunk and being late to a friend's wedding have to do with space exploration?

There was an anime drawing contest for this GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) mission.

It's a little abstract for my taste with just this trailer, but i like the concept. I must say Czo, i'm finding it hard to associate you as an anime fan, but i don't doubt your word on it (Ghost In the Shell is an astounding anime, i must agree).

The hyper realism of the program in the anime is salivating, but they need character development not only in the scientists, but also in the spacecraft. Can't wait to see what they come up with for that.

I'm not an anime fan at all. I just think "Ghost in the Shell" and "Planetes" are good - and these are the only anime I've ever watched btw. I started this thread because using anime to promote space agency sounds so... random

Images of Hatsune Miku, the singing synthesizer character (not from an anime), were placed on board the Akatsuki Venus probe that was launched in 2010. It was a petition-based effort.
