6:17 The thing with exploring space that most people don't know is that it has unexpectedly given us some of the most basic technologies we use today.

And those are only the examples off the top of my head but there're many videos on youtube that name dozens of examples.
"Are your dreams for the benefit of human kind & the benefits of others, or are they just for yourself ?" Brilliantly stated. Humanity needs shared goals & equity. With everything that's at stake, it comes as a shock that we don't, & we need to change this.
"Equity" is death, a graveyard, a BORG collective, a homogenizing swarm. Humans balance between individualism, their own unique personality, and culture, their collective desires that survived through centuries. Using force at any point towards what YOU perceive as the goal is Anti-Human. Abandon any ideology that is not based on voluntarism. You should change your attitude towards Negative Freedom - involuntary means can never justify any 'positive' ends.
Honestly I was blown away at the mid point where episodes stoped being a contained story of collecting debris. Sunrise did an amazing job animating this master piece of a story
This video really made me ask myself "Are your goals for Humanity or for Yourself" i wanna make manga in the future so probably for humanity known as my fans
As a greek who has experienced "European Solidarity" for 10 years and has seen how "research programmes" work, I feel this masterpiece of a show speaks volumes about the current political system. It's hauntingly realistic.
1. I've only watched the dubbed version. I can still clearly hear Ai's line, ""Living alone... and dying alone... alone. How could anyone be satisfied with that?" And it's been a long time since I've seen it. 2. The only other anime, that I've seen, that takes philosophy and existentialism further is Ergo Proxy. 3. I feel like Planetes should be required viewing / reading because of your point at it being "too real". 4. I watched this with my kid when thy were 5 and they wanted to be a Debris Hauler because of it. Because Debris Section are big, damn heroes.
i thought it was interesting how the ship bound for jupiter was named the von braun, after wernher von braun, who worked on the V2 rocket for the nazis, and later the Saturn V for NASA. I'm sure he preferred building rockets with satellites and people inside instead of bombs, but i feel like his seeming apathy for working under the regime he was during world war 2 is pretty similar to what the von braun ship represents for humanity. the same apathetic, blind ambition for exploration and scientific progress while ignoring most of humanity whom the mission is supposedly for.
These thought pieces of an anime this unknown is something nice. Plus I don't really unsee the terrorists way in this. Nowadays during everything that happened and seeing how people reacted maybe we do need to care about people on earth more. However whatever money could be taken away from the space sector a minuscule amount could be taken from the military sector and no one would know. I love space but we will never go anywhere without cooperation here.
Great video, I recently read the manga and really fell in love. As you said it went from slice of life to a unique perspective on future human psychology. You've convinced me to read Vinland next!
Planetes is a beatiful series. I'd say it's one of the last representatives of that period in anime history where there was a lot of exploration of the kind of stories that the meduim could tell (before the full onslaught of moe and the hyper focus on anime super focused on maximizing its appeal to target audiences). That said, I think Yukimura's manga blows the anime out of... orbit... a hundred times over. The anime has this weird tendency for tonal dissonance. It is dead serious about dead serious matters, but then it bashes in with goofy characters, the need for a "traditional" antagonist in the form of the Front and the corpos. You end up with the feeling that they should have used the runtime better by letting all those things out. I understand why they included all that. They needed to appeal to a wider audience, to maje the narrative and themes more accessible... and to change the focus a bit to themes that were more "concrete", like the exploitation of earth vs space exploration for proffit, etc. All good topics, don't get me wrong. I actually would have liked to see more of that and less of the goof. And then you have the manga... oh the manga! It is SO INCREDIBLY elegant in its "simple" and focused exectution. The manga doesn't wastes time with building up comedic relief characters. Everyone is a real-feeling human being. The crew are actually independent contractors forced to compete with others, cleaning up the big corpo's litteral garbage. Hachimaki's dream is joining the first manned exploration of the outer planetes instead of having his own ship. And his dream is tainted by his realtionship with his father (something the anime goes a bit into too, but not nearly as deep). If anything, Planetes, the manga, reminds me of the kind science ficction people like Bradbury used to write, were the focus is on the people, not on tech; where the exploration is about what makes us be us, more than about what a future world is or would be like. I'm so happy people are re-discovering this anime. And I really hope that by enjoying it, they will then pick up one of the best manga ever made (yes, I think Planetes is superior to Vinland Saga, not because it's better, but because it manages to do so much in just so "few" pages).
Never forgotten. I will never forget Planetes. It raises so many introspective thoughts unlike any, including Star Trek. I do not say that lightly. I watch it at least once a year.
I just finished to read the manga and this obiously shows that yukimura is a genius to tell stories in a very realistic context. Moreover I find similarity between thorfinn and hachimaki by searching about their own identity. very good and ciminally underrated video and I can see the anime extract and it is very not bad!
Probably the best hard sci-fi anime i have ever seen, even if I completely disagree with the politics of the show (I am an unapologetic libertarian , and 100% pro-space exploration , and I think that the show many times commits the zero-sum fallacy ) Edit : Response to your last quote : It doesnt matter if what I do is for myself if it also benefits humanity ... in the words of someone whose name I have forgotten "Greed is good" I wholeheartedly disagree with this show's opposition to capitalism & the idea that space development benefitting the rich somehow makes things worse for the poor , that is the zero sum fallach at play, and a fallacy that the SDF makes even more so , because ending space travel in NO way would help those poor countries
I think the conclusion that was reached in the end was pretty good compromise honestly. The exploration continued, but it was ensured that the project benefit the entire human population rather than only the people who invested in it. The problem isn't much of the zero-sum. It's that the distribution is...just not there. I don't really think that the anime's message questioned space exploration, either. There was a scene when Hachimaki began to question it and it was shutted down pretty quickly by Fee.
You deserve hundreds of thousands subs, sir \=o=/ I think that space could also be used as metaphor for loneliness, because we, as human beings, are alone from the very birth. We are alone in pursuing our dreams and we have to fight to get where we want to be.
Pushing our limits is how we advance. It's how we get better. Using carbon-based fuels and burning them was a problem that we became aware of. Now we'll handle and curb that only because of advancement in other areas that do not cause the negative side effect. All life needs external elements to live. And efficency progress causes less of anything to be required as we advance. We can be alright. We can be better. We dont have to stay the same.
It should be mentioned that the Planetes anime, while it does adapt much of the manga at one point or another, also makes significant changes, brings in new characters and adds a lot more content to certain themes, such as its criticism of capitalism and how the third world is treated. That's mostly new to the anime and less present in the manga, which is pretty focused on the philosophical angle and consequences of space exploration but not so concerned with the political implications or economic disparities.
Does your Vinland Saga manga video have spoilers, I want to watch it but if it mentions anything after what happened in the anime, I won’t be able to watch it
no. however i do talk about general themes that haven’t been seen yet in the anime and are further fleshed out in the manga, so if u NEVER plan on reading the manga, the video probably isn’t for u
i don’t watch many space anime, but the few that i have (planetes, space brothers, & legend of the galactic heroes to name a few) have all impressed me a lot
You have to read the manga. It’s way better imo. A lot of the manga is no where to be seen in the anime. The anime changed most of the story because the manga hadn’t finished yet. One of the major storylines is no where to be seen in the anime. Tanabe isn’t the main character and isn’t even introduced until somewhere in the 2nd omnibus. Hoshino is the main character. The anime even changed the design of the suit which is the weirdest change. manga has a better ending imo too. I’m just a little bitter because I read the manga first and was really sad when I noticed that the anime wasn’t a faithful adaptation. I was really hoping to see the manga’s ending get animated.
You also miss out on a lot of the character’s backstories. Also, almost all of the debris section are anime only people. You just have the toy box crew of hoshino, yuri, fee, and later tanabe comes into the picture
Personally, I like both versions of Planetes and would argue they're both quite good. If anything, it's nice to have two products that work well on their own, rather than the anime just putting animation to an already existing story. The manga is important yet it isn't universally better at everything though. Certain aspects are better in the anime. For instance, the manga was much less interested in the corporate realities and the political or economic impacts of space exploration, even though it does address the human consequences from a philosophical or medical side. Not sure I'd agree with you about the ending, each one works well for their own context.
Hey bro what dose mean for you capitalism? For me it means free market and people choice with limited government and less regulation with free speech because i dont like wealthy or government or media decide what i can say and what i cant, im living in socialist country if have problem with capitalism plz come to my country, free shit you can find in everywhere and good holy government have power and money and i use vpn to see your video, the ads that google get money from them had no results i mean no money so you as produced and content creator will not get money, why youtube is ban in my country? Cause holy moly government decide what we can do what we can watch what we cant ... so plz if you love this situation plz come to my country and live hear , before that plz consider here food and job are less and a lot of compony are in hand of government .. .. how food is not problem in your country? Did you think about it? Cause of technology? Nope, that technology is using in my country right now, roads trucks light ... so what dose my country dont have? Free market, less government , less regulations , private ownership ...
I must mention that i don't like jeff bozos too, he is a corrupt person he always talk about minimum wage to be high but he use robot , he want minimum wage be high cause he don't like have competition and free market he want feudalism he buy media and gave them money, he want to be god and slave owner . the solution is free speech free market, u r front line of war with feudalism that is similar whit big government

This shows that we really do live in a society
"the perfect comment doesn't exis-"
I had never once felt as connected to a space sci-fi show than planetes it felt so personal and universal at the same time
agreed

I'm so beyond glad someone reviewed this, it is my all time favorite and nobody talks about it
I love in depth real stuff like this
Glad this show is getting more recognition
underrated series & an underrated video
planetes got some of the key characteristics of a hard scifi novel
I've watched Planetes like 8 times over. It's just so good.
Love your voice dude! Fits so well haha
you're the best channel ever ! I love your clean edits and spot on narrations and the music. ugh ! *appreciation intensifies*
🙏❤️
You are so underrated bro every time you upload i get happy
love to hear that frog
Slice of space life. Unusually realistic near future SF. Relevant social commentary. Good entertainment. Food for thought. It is all that.
Really loved Vinland Saga. Really appreciate the video bro
aye ofc
Askeladd is my favorite character in the show
isn’t he all of our favorite 🤷♂️
These thought pieces of an anime this unknown is something nice. Plus I don't really unsee the terrorists way in this.

Planetes is one of my all-time top 10 anime for me. Extremely underrated, anime is soulful I'm gonna rewatch it again thank you great video btw.

At 7:20 I heared Fi's theme from "the legend of zelda Skyward Sword game"
u heard right
An anime for (space) working class heroes
To be honest just hearing the name of the anime me look it up and place it on my plan to watch list

I didn’t know it was a anime I was looking for berserk and found this and hellsing btw was at Barnes and nobles they got a sale going on near me
The lunarian girl...
Not soon after dude... vinland saga and these are decades apart. the planetes anime was from the 90's/00's
Does your Vinland Saga manga video have spoilers, I want to watch it but if it mentions anything after what happened in the anime, I won’t be able to watch it
no. however i do talk about general themes that haven’t been seen yet in the anime and are further fleshed out in the manga, so if u NEVER plan on reading the manga, the video probably isn’t for u
yup this fits more well after the recent space race of jeff and virgin airline
and capitalism
BTW space is my fav sub too
thanks for recommendation
