Planetes

[Dave Paprocki]

The english spelling of a Greek word made up of the characters Pi, [Lambda], Alpha, Nu , [Epsilon], [Tau], Epsilon, [Sigma]. It means [Wanderer] or Traveler.

An extremely well made, and very realistic Sci-Fi anime series that takes place in the year 2075. The story primarily follows the exploits of Hoshino Hachirota, a troubled young man who works as an astronaut for the private space company Technora Corp, with a team of diverse and interesting characters whos job is to remove dangerous space debris from Earths orbit. In short, they are space garbage men.

At its core, Planetes is a story of personal conquest.
