Allow me to speak on behalf of all the people who enjoy watching an anime. The main character Asta is probably one of the most clichéd characters created. Not to mention he is super annoying in the fact that almost every sentence he says is screamed. It makes it an awful watch for someone who is actually trying to just enjoy anime.

I personally do not enjoy this anime, and do not see how or why it gets 170 episodes. If they... See full review

Planetes best falls into the genre of hard sci-fi; it deals with events and technologies of the future, yet does not introduce impossible/ridiculous technologies.

Story: 9.5/10 Honestly, it is a very simple story that follows the main character Chihaya and her obsession and love with the traditional game of Karuta and her dream of being the Queen.

So I decided to use it and pick up the first few episodes of Space Brothers without expecting much. I was immediately proven wrong, thinking again and again that you should truly “never judge a book by its cover”. (I try not to but it still happens. I can’t help it when there are too many choices ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Story My first thought after reading the synopsis was why the hell are 99 episodes dedicated to these... See full review
