Totally forgot that his wife was the woman in the first few min of ep 1. The whole scene reminded me a lot of a certain happening in Cowboy Bebop. This episode hasn't lost it powerfulness since I last watched it.

The highlight of the episode was Yuri coming to terms that he was basically crashing back on to earth,but when he heard Tanabe and Hachi calling out to him he awoke only too see the message of the watch containing the words "please save Yuri".

I can't imagine the terror going through her head and still being able to write that message down to let the rescuer's know that they should save him. Phenomenal episode.

It's been a while since an anime episode made me cry so hard. What an emotional episode!

Im putting this on-hold.
I just kind of dislike how this show builds drama. It feels unnatural and not genuine enough. Kind of sad that they have to appeal to so many weak resources and conveniences to try to make it impactful.

I might come back after reading the manga.

Damn that was a really good episode. Brilliant tie in to what was assumed to be a throwaway scene from the first episode.

I forgot about the scene at the very beginning of the series. Didn't think it would be relevant again, but this episode put everything into context and fleshed it out. It was a great one. Heavy, dramatic and bittersweet.

episodes just keeping getting better lol. this time we have yuri's background. truly tearful story.

loved how this also made tanabe realizing the answer through hachimaki.

also like how the melodrama in this series isn't that cliche since the pace just pushing it aside lol.

there isn't much well written sci-fi in anime. Planetes is one of the best.

With how often the most basic missions go awry because someone defies protocol or daydreams, Techora Corporation must be losing a fortune. If the Debris Section really is the amateurish "Half Section" it's nicknamed as, then you'd hope that'd mean the other sections are more competent. Considering these characters are all adults with years of experience under the belt, it does make their tendency to veer off-track all the more perplexing.

There's also an obvious romantic subplot developing, with a love pentagon of sorts also tethered to it. Not sure why, as I haven't found much reason for Ai to be attracted to Hoshino. Hoshino gives off the impression of absolutely loathing Ai, and his scathing treatment of her reflects that. They're constantly shouting at each other even during the job as well.
