Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a short run with a modest audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for sci-fi fans and animation lovers. If you loved Futurama, start here.
The mood: Easygoing.
The pace: 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 11 hours in all.
What might put you off: Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

In the year 2075, mankind has reached a point where journeying between Earth, the moon and the space stations is part of daily life. However, the progression of technology in space has also resulted in the problem of the space debris, which can cause excessive and even catastrophic damage to spacecrafts and equipment.
