Who was in the wrong here?

I couldn't be the only one who hated the meta-plot, right?

The whole thing about "terrorism is justified because we're poor" is such neoliberal BS.

Totally ignores the trend of poor-but-hardworking countries pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps from 18th through 20th centuries (exs US, UK, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, Singapore, etc - among others)

I disagree. I'm watching it now and for a 2003 show it looks amazing.

I want this exact jacket. How do I go about getting this customer made. Do I just show a designer a picture and say make it or what?

That chapter about Fee's uncle ;_; I'm a quiet guy if that happened to me I'd go berserk on those assholes

>for a 2003 show
(you)
It's good because it exists in that time when shit quality 3D animation in anime was becoming more common place and despite not having the best quality or style in its drawn aspects it sets itself apart

Find a jacket similar to it. Give a graphic artist or designer who does patches the wording and design and sow them on.

All the exemples you cited just resulted in millions of individuals working in poverty their entire life and even dying so a few could get insanely rich.
Is it right to say that capitalism only works because a significant portion of the population lives in poverty?
I'm not a commie I swear I'm just a dumb frog. What I want to say is that (in my opinion) the hardwork of the pleb doesn't ultimately profit to them in the majority of cases

The anime aired from 2003 to 2004. What is the (you) for?

>it exists in that time when shit quality 3D animation in anime was becoming more common place
I genuinely like the CGI from the show more than the CGI from more recent releases. I can't explain why. It looks more natural to me.

massive inequality is the rule not the exception, also a frog. Meaning, look at china, or look at Russia, all those communistic elites, who were raised on communism, once the wall fell they leapt up to devour all in the vicinity. The pie needs to be big enough, and the elites unstable enough to turn to democracy

>single handedly saved humanity's space exploration effort
Yup, I'm thinking she's based.

you are.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that the only choice the average man has is whether they are ruled by a corporate elite (the West) or a political elite (the East).

You need to install them, introducing a structural weak spot to the hull.
Ever seen a door getting kicked down, only to remain intact since it was ripped from the hinges?

Replying to both of these - in all complex systems Pareto distribution (80 / 20 rule) tends to occur as a law of nature.

Even if a small percentage get super wealthy, it's undeniable that quality of living in all these countries went up across the board. Take for example South Korea & Singapore from 1950 to today - extremely poor backwaters with low quality of living to entire populations owning fridges, microwaves, TVs, cars, etc. Not saying that capitalism and industrialization are perfect, but obviously better than the alternative.

^All of that doesn't specifically address the problem with Planetes, which was that the philosophical framework wasn't "work hard to be as good as developed countries" but rather "tear them down / force them to uplift us via blackmailing them through violence".

If memory serves there were 2 episodes about the trashcan spacesuit from the poor country ("work hard to uplift") versus 12+ episodes about terrorism ("blackmail into receiving gibs")

im not sure where you're getting the idea that the show portrayed terrorism as justified except for the fact that it portrayed it at all. all the terrorists were bad guys who were foiled by the protagonists of the show. i think its more likely that youre just an oversensitive brainlet

What if they're using really strong glue?

>Take for example South Korea & Singapore from 1950 to today - extremely poor backwaters with low quality of living to entire populations owning fridges, microwaves, TVs, cars, etc.
Can't argue with that honestly
>the philosophical framework wasn't "work hard to be as good as developed countries" but rather "tear them down / force them to uplift us via blackmailing them through violence"
If my memory serves me right, it was more "force them to give us a chance at working hard". For example, the trashcan spacesuit was the result of hard work but in the end nobody would even consider it because it came from a 3rd world country.
I don't know if I make sense it's almost 3am

>Strong glue
Vs
>Small object traveling space at a speed of several Kilometers per second
Actually could the hull of the spaceship even handle such an impact ?

You're 100% correct that "force them to give us a chance at working hard" was the aim of the Trashcan Spacesuit Arc and a classic case of injustice being addressed by our heroes, who gave the suit a chance to succeed by certifying it even if other entrenched interests declined to do so. This is a good thing - good writing and a good arc.

IIRC (also 3AM) the series had 12+ episodes about terrorism that eventually had the entrenched interest countries caving to the terrorists' demands.

If the entrenched interests in Planetes were explicitly portrayed as the bad guys and being the ones causing eternal war and strife, then sure - such actions may be justified. But that wasn't how the series was written.

Planetes is a beloved series - accurate hard sci fi around space exploration - but I haven't watched again because its heroic themes about space exploration, importance of risk taking, importance of hardwork, necessity of vision; and the traditional themes of duty, family, and sacrifice - these end up taking a back seat to the Terrorism Arcs and the acceptability of violent blackmail

really disappointing tbqh

>terrorism is justified because we're poor
What? I haven't watched the show in a long time, but I'm pretty sure the terrorism was never justified to anyone other than the terrorists themselves. Unless you mean any presentation of terrorism as something other than mindless and psychotic is "justified", in which case you're just retarded.

Fee was super based. Hachi is a brat but also based especially the manga version. My guy yuri got sidelined hard once he found his wife's compass

I remember liking the manga a lot less than the anime, though at this point I can't even remember how it was different.

The manga is way more existential especially with hachimaki overcoming his doubt and making it to jupiter. The anime adds a bunch of new characters and situations and is more of a workplace comedy. The manga has most of the focus on tanabe hachi fee and yuri. A lot of the other space personnel and the ins and outs of the space shit and how things operate is barely expanded upon in the manga. Still has the terrorist stuff though
