Planetes - Complete Collection [Blu-ray]

The year is 2075 - a future in which widespread commercial space travel is not just a dream but a reality, and where the Moon has been transformed into a bustling colony. However, all of the advancements in science and technology which brought about this intergalactic dream have also caused an exponential growth in a major peril for spacefarers - space debris. Enter the crew of the DS-12 "Toy Box", part of Technora Corporation's Space Debris section who are tasked with clearing up the dangerous detritus floating in Earth's orbit which threatens to cause a catastrophe if left unchecked. It's a far from glamorous job, as newcomer Ai Tanabe quickly learns as she joins the crew to find an underfunded but passionate group of larger-than-life characters who are dedicated to their under-appreciated craft. So begins a sci-fi series the likes of which you've never seen before, as ordinary people make their way through the extraordinary vastness of space in search of their hopes and dreams - a journey which can be as dangerous as it is uplifting. Includes: Episodes 1-26
