 Publisher Shueisha opened an official website for a TV anime adaptation of Kenta Shinohara's sci-fi action manga Kanata no Astra (Astra Lost in Space) on Tuesday. The anime series is scheduled to air in 2019.Synopsis The year is 2061, when space travel is now possible and commercially viable, and the students of Caird High School embark on their Planet Camp. But soon after Group B5 arrived at their planetary camp site, a mysterious and unforeseen sentient light sphere warps its nine members into outer space, stranding them 5012 light years away from their home planet. With the discovery of an old, unmanned spaceship nearby, the students must stay strong, manage their limited resources, and remain united in the darkness of space, so that all of them can survive their long and likely perilous trek back home aboard the Astra.

| Nice. I'm glad it's getting an adaptation. Now the manga is complete anime is the next step they can take. |
 |
| Since its completed then that means they can animate the whole thing so count me in |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Looks like I am ready to get lost in space. I always like complete adaptations of a good manga. While I haven't read it, just getting ranked or nominated are good enough in my book. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Great that the manga is getting a adaptation but my god, is this key visual really mediocre. The redhead girl looks like a complete different character compared to what she is on the manga. It's impressive how no one is able to put Shinohara's art in anime. |
| it's from sket dance author and nominated in lot of awards.. thats good sign... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| So happy for this, I loved the manga and it deserved an anime so badly. |
 |
| i see a girl in a tight space suit and thats all i need to see |
   |
| Glad to see that we‘re getting more shows set in space recently. |
There *is*. However it’s not heavily touched upon since romance isn’t the main focus of the series. Although you might be satisfied with the ending and how some relationships develop even though it’s very minuscule and subtle. |
| 2D > 3D |
| Lost in Space! I miss that show. Looks like this should bring some of that nostalgia back. And it is a survival story which is quite uncommon. However, the key visual showing only two of the nine members makes me a bit skeptical... |
 |
| No way! No freaking way! I literally just finished the manga yesterday! It's really good, and doesn't feel like the usual Jump manga, so I really recommend it. Actually...why aren't there more Shonen Jump sci-fi manga? |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| Director: Masaomi Andou (Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse) I didn't read the manga but am expecting to have nightmares |
 |
| Sket Dance author? Looking forward to it. |

| This looks quite promising. |
 |
| should I read the manga or wait for this? |
RobinTheKing said: should I read the manga or wait for this? The manga is really short (five volumes) so you might as well read it, it won't be a time consumer. |

| im so glad this is getting an adaption, i loved the manga so much |
