So if this is seinen like the MAL page shows and my eyes say, then how come the OP & ED kanji has furigana?

I think Hiroaki Hirata will make a wonderful Mutta. I'll have to look more into Hibito's VA, but Mutta is going to sound wonderful.

I've had a bit of a listen to Sawashiro Miyuki's voice, and depending on which one she uses I think her Serika will be pretty good. When reading the manga I pictured her with a less high pitched voice than most females are portrayed with in anime.

Looked into the VA cast and I think they'll all do a pretty decent job myself.

Having read the manga and enjoyed it immensely, I really hope that they don't destroy my image of the characters by using the wrong voices. From the preview I've seen here, it doesn't seem too bad, though.

There are 16 volumes, of the manga, it's enough ^^

I've read up to chapter 10 of the manga, and it's awesome. I have high expectations for this one, being my most anticipated show and all.

I haven' read it either, but it's been published for 5 years now, there should be enough material. And this kind of show will probably be rather slow paced anyway (which it should be) so I wouldn't worry.

I haven't read the manga; is there enough content to support that many episodes?

Mar 4, 2012 4:34 PM by CuriousThing

48+ episodes?

Looks good, I'll be sure to watch it.

48+ eps? I was wondering whether I should watch it or not...so thanks for helping me to decide. The verdict is...no.

Is this a guess, wishful thinking, or announced fact? If the last, source?

it's the replacement of beelzebub anime same time slot so it should be a 48+ show.

Anybody know if there are actually aliens in this?

If not, probably will skip.

I reminds me of Rocket Girls, with the same hearthwarmingly nostalgic "I want to be an astronaut" fantasy, combined with actual realistic NASA-style spaceflight.

According to WHOIS information, the domain name http://www.uchukyodai.com/ has been registered to A-1 Pictures, so we can preliminarily assume they will be animating this.

OH MY FUCKING GOD.

This is the best news in a very long while, I was so hoping it would get an adaption, seeing how well it does in sales. This is gonna be my favorite anime 2012.

*implodes because of excitement*
