Sorry I overlooked it in my first way through. One thing I want to add to what you say is that, although PlanetES does deal with the philosophical issues that we deal with in modern, and near future times, unlike other anime (and many other shows), PlanetES does not preach. It presents different philosophical or idealogical quandries and leaves to the viewer to decided for him/herself what is right or wrong. The opening is quite special but I personally like the ending sequence. Both songs are so optimistic and leave me feeling good. I agree this anime should be checked out. After I watched it, I had to own it. It represents some of the very best of anime; it's as good and satisfying a rewatch as it was the first time! Yes, excellent story and a good review.

Instead of sacrificing realism for loud action. I also liked how they kept the space scenes silent and usually used crosstalk between the astronauts to fill the audio track.

The creators actually built a model of the space station to get all the details right, like how much square footage of solar panels would be needed to power all the equipment. It sounds like you might enjoy another forgotten classic, Figure 17. Good luck finding it.
