Space Trash

Sci-Fi is once again a great genre to explore social dynamics. In Planetes, that exploration is on full display. In a time where space travel is the norm and available to the general public, there is a team whose job is to clean up space from all the space junk that is stuck in orbit. On top of the beautiful atmosphere, there were topics I didn’t imagine would be discussed from the get-go. From the commercialization of space that is currently happening, I imagine that such a show is going to become even more relatable as we start to adapt to the new frontier of expansion. Not usually a fan of space, I was surprised by how much more there was than just exploring the outer atmosphere.

Did I Just Take Acid?

Over the weekend I binged watched )if you can really call how short that was binge watching) Space Patrol Luluco. It was an anime the anime club at my school had watched two episodes of (they’re about 7 to 8 minutes of each), and I really enjoyed it. Why? I have absolutely no clue why. It was an acid trip from beginning to end. And there was a 31-second sequel. (So moving. I was so touched. … JK).

Anyways, it was a cute little show, that somehow tied everything from the very first episode to the 5th season. Seriously. There were 5 seasons, also known as 13 episodes. You know, same difference. It was actually one of the first animes I have seen in more than a month (I don’t know what I was thinking) so it was a short little something to dip my toes into. I think anyone who enjoys thinking to themselves “what the heck was I thinking” will really enjoy this…brilliant…display of color.
