Planetes

[Flounder]

There's an anime series comming out on DVD starting this june, called Planetes. It's a "hard" science fiction series about orbital debris collectors - much like a "view from the gallery" style of story telling. I'm really looking forward to it. The DVDs will feature interviews with people from NASA's orbital debris section, plus interviews and commentary from both English-speaking voice actors and the Japanese makers.

It's not yet in the IMDb, I think.

I've been wanting to see Planetes for awhile. Good to hear it is coming out.
