The anime is set in 2045, where the Internet and AI are commonplace even in space, and centers on a group of children stranded in space after a large-scale accident occurs in a space station. By using narrowband, social networking, and a drone that they can manipulate through smartphones and low-intelligence AI, they overcome many crises.

Sorry, Mitsuo Iso. You've made a lot of great things, but this is not one of them.

An updated "2001: A Space Odyssey" that answers sci-fi's true calling of imagining the future

A fun romp that blends the best of different sci-fi stories into one.

A show with many issues but many positives, that could've benefited from a lot more episodes. Watch Dennou Coil.
