Original Work: Hoshino Yukinobu
Direction: Sori Fumihiko
Character Design: OXYBOT
Music: Takahashi Tetsuya
Work: OXYBOT
* Adapting two stories from Hoshino Yukinobu's 2001 Nights (2001 Ya Monotogari) manga.

The year is 2068. Humankind has established a moon colony with a population of 300,000 inhabitants. They need supplies and the easiest way to send them is via the Moonlight Bazooka, a gas-powered launcher that shoots the containers into lunar orbit. Then one day the 078962-EK ship, best known as the ghost ship Flying Dutchman, docks after a 15-year journey, carrying the most precious energy resource known by humanity. Space travel is cruel since the travelers only age two years while the rest of humanity ages 15 in the process. The second OVA takes place around 100 years later—humanity now is trying to establish colonies in other solar systems, but the colonists still don't travel as one, and they carry with them their national identities and the seed of war. The planet where they find the most suitable colonization terrain soon shows them that living as separate beings in the universe is not a good way to survive.

Note: The distributor Avex began renting the two titles on DVD in Japanese video stores on October 2, 2009. The retail DVD and Blu-ray Disc versions shipped on December 18, 2009.

CGI is great for background, however, when it came to facial expressions... the expressions were forced and unrealistic. In terms of plot, it was very slow. Fortunately, this is only 2 episodes... because by the time you start getting bored with the plot and forced facial expression... TO is done. Its an interesting watch considering its only 2 OVAs

Tags ?

add/edit tags
· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. *
· violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt. *
· castno description set
· · predominantly adult castThis show features mostly adults. That means children and teenagers are relatively rare and unlikely to hold significance to the plot. That is a rare trait in anime, as most shows spin around children or teenagers. weightless
· · strong female leadThe lead female character has a strong personality and plays a part that is not the typical damsel-in-distress role. This is the exact opposite of the “damsel in distress” tag. weightless
· · strong male leadThe lead male protagonist in this anime shows backbone, is competent, and does not shy away from seemingly insurmountable objectives. weightless
· episodicAn episodic anime consists of many successive short arcs that are generally 1-2 episodes in length, with strong plot continuity within each arc but generally little continuity from one arc to the next; for long shows (well upwards of 50 episodes), the episode count constraint is less tight. weightless
· long time spanThe anime spans a much longer than usual (for that genre) period of time, typically several years (possibly decades or even centuries). Example: In a school setting this could mean the character development is followed from school through college right into working life and the founding of a family with children. weightless
· slow-pacedThe story — including its characters and events — develop slowly. May contain a weak continuity of plot and/or character development. Or may be a story telling device to increase the "sense of foreboding" in an anime with thriller or horror setting. weightless
· storytellingno description set
· · narrationThe most common example is that of a voice, either that of one of the characters or entirely unrelated, that appears at the beginning of an episode to offer a summary or introduction, and at the end of an episode for closure or for a preview to hint upon what to expect next. weightless
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. **
· · collateral damageThe usually action orientated anime does not only show large amounts of combat and weapon use, but also the incidental massive destruction of property, often due to the inability of the protagonists to aim properly. Example: Mecha duking it out in a densely populated urban area. weightless
· · gunfightsFights where two or more parties are firing guns at one another. +
· adventureAdventures are exciting stories, designed to provide an action-filled, energetic experience for the viewer. Rather than the predominant emphasis on violence and fighting, the viewer of adventures can live vicariously through the travels, conquests, explorations, creation of empires, struggles and situations that confront the main characters. Adventure films are often, but not always, set in an historical period. *
· angstA feeling of general discomfort and uneasiness is present due to either trivial or more serious reasons, often accompanied by depression. Warning: may contain copious amounts of brooding and sighing. Etymology: "Angst" is a German word meaning fear or anxiety. *
· reverse haremThe gender-reversed version of the usual harem genre. In a reverse harem, instead of several female characters focused on one male character, the viewer sees several male characters surrounding a single female character. The most notable characteristic exclusive to reverse harem is the tendency towards bishounen looks. Homosexual relationships are not covered by reverse harem. *
· romanceRomance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. Romance is also a difficulty encountered when creating a harem. *
· social commentarySocial commentary is the act of using rhetorical means to provide commentary on issues in a society. This tag should only apply to anime where social commentary is major theme that is explored thoroughly as a main (sub-)plot element. As social commentary, the anime should send a message to the viewers, criticising our society through fiction; merely portraying complex social elements such as racism is not sufficient. weightless
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from. ***
· · · hard science fictionHard science fiction is a category of science fiction characterised by an emphasis on scientific accuracy, technical detail, or both. The term is not defined precisely, and is often seen as an approximate way of describing works. There is a degree of flexibility in how far from "real science" a story can stray before it leaves the realm of hard science fiction; a story`s scientific "hardness" is less a matter of absolute accuracy of science content than of rigour and consistency. **
· · · space travelSpace Travel usually refers going to space or travelling there with or without a spacecraft. There are different forms of space travel like Interplanetary travel, Interstellar travel or Intergalactic travel. Since it isn`t possible to travel faster than light, most anime series involve some sort "sub-space travel mechanism" as a way to travel faster than light. *
· · · terraformingTerraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") of a planet, moon, or other body is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology to be similar to the biosphere of Earth, in order to make it habitable by humans. (Source: Wikipedia) weightless
· tragedyTragedy is a form of drama characterized by seriousness and dignity, usually involving a conflict between a character and some higher power, such as the law, the gods, fate, or society. *
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · heroic sacrifice"In order to save the many, the few will need to sacrifice their lives..." or so this character may think. In a seemingly hopeless situation, against impossible odds, the character does not choose the path of the coward and run, he or she chooses to bravely face the enemy, fully aware that this will mean death. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· mangaManga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime. See also manhua and manhwa. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. *
· · spaceThe final frontier. ***
· · · other planetThe anime will fit this category if some or all of the action takes place on another planet which is supposedly in the same universe as Earth, not a complete fantasy world; usually there has to be some concept of space travel. The Latin name for Earth - Terra, would also pass the condition of being in the same universe as Earth. Basically, even mentioning of Earth existing or having existed would be enough. Although Moon is a moon, it also qualifies as Other Planet. *
· · · shipboardBeam me up, Scotty! Space stations (think Death Star) also count. Basically, this category is to tell if the setting takes place onboard a spaceship in space. This category is not applicable if the spaceship lies on a planet and never actually gets into space. **
· · · space colonyThe human race (or possibly some alien race) has mastered space travel and founded at least one colony either in space, on a moon or another planet. This usually also includes colony-life episodes that not only show the technical staff of professionals (astronauts, scientists, etc.), but also their families (i.e. children). *+
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · futureAnime that fall under the future category are the ones that have a society that could have originated from ours. In most cases it should go hand to hand with sci-fi since we expect the future to consist of advanced technology, however, in the case where it`s explicitly stated in the story that the anime takes place "x years into the future", the state of technology doesn`t matter as long as it`s long into the future. The anime can be set in an alternative universe not tied with our own, as long as it has a futuristic feel to it. This category sports quite a lot of anime, mostly stemming from SciFi, but not necessarily only from there. ***
· seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s. weightless
· CGIComputer-generated imagery (CGI) or computer animation is the art of creating moving images via the use of computers. Increasingly it is created by means of 3D computer graphics, though 2D computer graphics are still widely used for stylistic, low bandwidth, and faster real-time rendering needs. weightless
· · 3D CG animationAbbreviation for "three-dimensional computer generated animation" or "computer graphics" (CGI). The traditional 2D art is enhanced by 3D imagery developed through computer modeling software. Done in the right way, this union of 3D in a 2D animated world can be a very beautiful relationship. weightless
· detailed landscapesAn amazing view of nature, of artificially sculpted landscapes (i.e. gardens), or of a cityscape. weightless
· daily lifeThe antics of the protagonists do not take place in some exotic setting or time, but in everyday life. Daily Life is basically a synonym for everything normal, repetitive, and trivial happening to your average person.
· · working lifeThe life of someone actually working on a often less than glamorous job is depicted in this anime. The job is taxing and the pay is low, not really the dream job one would choose to work in. Examples: Working as salesperson in a department store, or as a waitress in a family restaurant. ***
· disasterA disaster is a large-scale situation that causes great loss of or damage or threat to life, health, property, society, or the environment, irrespective of its source or cause. Disasters have substantial, long-lasting negative repercussions, and great effort must be spent in order to undo or mitigate their effects.
· · epidemicA rapid spread or increase of something (e.g. a disease) affecting many persons. *+
· ecologyNature and ecology are a central theme of this anime. *
· politicsFrom commies to fat capitalist pigs, all the stuff done by the "guys with the power", mainly evil tactics for gaining more power over the masses. Watching this title may remind you why CNN is boring. *
· sociocultural evolutionDescribes how cultures and societies develop over time, based on both cultural evolution and social evolution. A post-apocalyptic or a Utopian setting would show very interesting changes in human behaviour, mental state, or simply daily life. weightless
· survivalThe theme/genre of survival typically depicts the act or process of continuing to live, generally in a hostile, possibly post-apocalyptic environment. Survival-centered media tends to be dark, set most commonly in a contemporary context, and generally leads either to small groups of people forming closely knit and functional units or to individuals turning against their fellows in a return to the survival of the fittest. *+
· the effects of time and distance on human relationshipsno description set weightless
flashbackA flashback is a moment where events from the past are recounted. Flashbacks are used primarily to give insight into a character`s mind or to reveal information previously kept from the audience. They normally consist of mostly new content; they are different from and should not be confused with recaps, where old content is shown again for no particular purpose. Generally, to qualify as a flashback, the scene must advance the narrative. The opposite is a flashforward. See also in medias res. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 1
shower sceneThe anime contains a shower scene, obligatory for ecchi anime. The person under the shower will most likely be female — providing "fanservice". 1 eps applies to episode(s): 1
