Its actually called Planetes, which means "wanderers", and was the term the ancient Greeks used for the "wandering stars", i.e. other planets. I cannot recommend it highly enough! It starts out pretty slapstick, but if you're looking for something more thoughtful, just stick it out until after the ninja episode. I promise it's worth it.

Slice o' life in space, cleaning up trash. What's not to like? :)

Planets is amazing, through-out singe-season story with an unexpected bit of drama and similarly unexpected resolution with a twist.

Planetes is one of my favorite anime series. I think it's very well done. I highly recommend it!

Edit: If you have trouble finding a way to watch it [it's a bit obscure] please shoot me a dm and I can probably help you out.

Thanks for the suggestion. I do like Anime so I’ll definitely be tracking this show down
