Review of Astra Lost in Space
ABSOLUTE CINEMA Just in 12 ep. a huge and complex story is told. This is the magic of 12 ep. animes. I finished it in one evening and got so many positive emotions and questions to think about. There is one drawback, it is a low budget because of which 3d is used, but only when it`s necessary. And fortunately it is not at all noticeable. The whole story is very well written and suspense is present everywhere. The plot knows how to hang the gun at the right place and let it fire at the right time. Vibe is very similar to Summertime Render, but unlike it,Kanata no Astra doesn`t let you get bored. It constantly brings you back to a state of tension and desire to solve the mystery. The immersion reaches such level that you put yourself in the characters` shoes and think through a plan of action in advance, come up with solutions and try to solve the secret.
It`s crazy how so interesting and so complex story can be fetched in just 12 episodes.
And by the way there`re many comedic moments, that actually fun and laughable, also there`re breaking the fourth wall and elements that are indirectly references, at least I found some for myself.
I accidentally found out about this anime and wish more people would watch it and spread it. Kanata no Astra is totally worth watching. Hope You will enjoy:)
