If you're interested in something a bit lighter, and with its own unique take on the idea of a varied cast of characters thrust together in space, I recommend Takarajima or Gamba no Bouken. It all depends on your perspective.

The New Adventures of Maya the Honeybee

"The Adventures of Maya the Honeybee" follows Maya, a female bee that is seen as sort of a rogue bee because she has left her hive to seek out adventure. Each episode follows Maya and her various insect friends through plot lines that almost always contain some sort of lesson for young children.
