AGP#173 – Planetes

It‘s another Golden Ticket episode! On request from patron Nice
(that’s their name), Evan and David review the 2003 hard sci-fi
anime series Planetes, about space debris haulers. But because
Evan is Evan, he also read the manga, so this discussion includes
both the anime and Makoto Yukimura’s original manga
series. How does this beloved series hold up
nearly 20 years later? Topics include: space
ninjas, frozen poop, and GO TO THERAPY HACHI.
