Anime Planetes

[TeeGee]

Has anyone ever seen the uber realistic show called Planetes? I highly recommend it. Here is a taste of what the show is about (don't worry, the english DUB is actually really good)

Wow, interesting.

I might actually watch this, I've never been too fond of anime in general, but this looks interesting.

Cool, I love space and anime, so this is just right for me

I think they stole the idea a bit from Gravity though...

I'd post the site you could watch it for free, but I don't know if that's allowed. All in ENGLISH DUB (the version I watch it in).

Not on amazon prime or Netflix... :-(

Depends on if the source is legal.

I actually own the DVD set, it's well worth it. This may be a series, but it has unusually high production values, more akin to an OAV. Couple that with a believable, hard scifi near-future setting (2074+), an ethnically diverse cast, and a plot that actually makes sense (including a good ending), you really have a gem in your hands.

The anime is a manga adaption, so if that's more your thing, you can also get the manga original translated into various languages.

I concur!

If anyone wants the link for the whole show, let me know.

Planetes is basically perfect.

Space Brothers is better imo. Watch that one too you'll love it. Its a very heart warming anime.

After I'm done with AoT, I'll either watch this, or Black Bullet. It seems good.

I just started watching it. It's pretty good so far. Thanks for the recommend.

No problem!

It's a great show, I agree.

Planetes is one of my favorite anime series of all times. It's one of those series where even people who don't like anime should be able to enjoy it. Fantastic story line.

I'm hating you so much right now! I can't stop watching this anime, I'm basically hooked. For a space nut and Otaku like me this name is perfect in every way.

HAHAHAHAH!! Yeah I re-watched it AGAIN after mentioning it. We can both hate me together.
