Planetes Picture Drama

An ongoing collection of science-fiction works that feature "realistic" space travel.

Though often featuring some vague advancement that allows for more efficient and practical spacecraft, the works listed all feature technology similar to what we know of today, and face similar issues. Instead of darting around hyperspace dressed in colourful shirts, much activity is done in orbit with bulky spacesuits. Instead of spacecraft being as common and affordable as cars, they're still rare and expensive rockets.

All works shown are in the present, near-future, or, in the case of one, an alternate past. Anything involving other worlds having been previously colonised, wars being waged across the stars or otherwise being outside the realm of possibility for the species within the next few decades do not qualify.

Picture dramas consist of still drawings accompanied by voice overs, like an illustrated drama CD. Only one anime per franchise for the sake of space.
