Really? That pun just sounds stupid enough to be realistic.

The original is more like "spaceport".

>The original is more like "spaceport".
Better, I guess.
Though, the real headscratcher is them turning actual airports (like Narita) into launch- and landing points for spacecrafts in the first place.
Connor Richardson
Is the manga still running?
Recently finished the anime and I fucking loved it.
Where to purchase?
(do they actually go to Jupiter?)
Michael Price
Jack Nelson
There will be many things that didn't happen in the anime.

Nathan White
It did happen, when he got his compass broken by Hachimaki's brother, he had this huge monologue and this was a short part of it.

Samuel Davis
That's all for today.
It's probably not a good idea to take advice from a homeless former astronaut.
Wyatt King
Thanks OP
Josiah Harris
Thanks, user!
Nice chapter with some minimalist storytelling, liked it. Though I liked yesterday's a bit better.
So far all of the chapters have felt quite different from each other. Not sure whether that should be worrying or not. The story at least seems consistent and relatively dense, which is a good thing.
Isaiah Sanchez
Arigatou.
Does the manga continue past the anime?
There's so much to be done with such a space anime, it'd be a shame if they just left it there at "lulz he gun have baby and also look jupiter and saturn, you're never gonna see dem LOL"
I think the intricacies of space travel to the gas giants and the maintaining of relationships would be very interesting.
Oliver Parker
I'll read this later cuz I'm about to fall asleep.
Thanks for the dump.
Nolan Nguyen
I don't see why not, they're more like spaceplanes so it wouldn't be a tough transition. Especially in Japan where it would be easier to repurpose a big open area like an airport than to find a new site.
No, it's been over for 15 years. The endings are different, but no spoilers here.
John Wilson
It's a fucking shame.
Henry Carter
got rekt.
Easton Miller
I love how all the high tech space age shit works with magstripe cards.
Austin Hughes
>The endings are different
Isn't it more like the manga just continues for a while past where the anime stopped. That's how I remember it anyway.
Cooper Harris
The consumer ship at the beginning and the TV in are modern looking. But the infrastructure of the world is still chunky and industrial. I think it's pretty realistic.
Xavier Wood
good stuff
Levi Parker
I really love the tech art in this series.
Robert Reyes
Bump!
Oliver Lewis
Thank you!
Dylan Torres
Thanks for the last two chapters user. I missed yesterday's thread so I had to catch up.
Bentley Rogers
Bought all volumes when they were licensed in my country. Still love it very much.BUMP!
Josiah Turner
Bump.
By the way: The YKK thread just hit the limit. Time to say goodbye.
Ryan Ross
Chapter 3 is probably my favourite while being pure comedy it is also very poignant. Remember to buy the Dark Horse editions of the omnibus since they are well made for once.
Ian Moore
>jimble (*don't ask)
they should have asked, then they would have spelled "gimbal" correctly. That's the rocker joint that lets the engine point different directions for attitude control.
Grayson Davis
A jimble is a gimbal that was made in Duwang.
Cooper Garcia
>then they would have spelled "gimbal" correctly.
Damn, I didn't pick op on that. But it is pretty obvious. Those translators are retards.
Jonathan Peterson
checking my copy, the Tokyopop edition translated it better:
"Maybe I should loosen the gimbals."
Adrian Walker
Unfortunately, these are the only scans that exist as far as I'm aware.
Tyler Hughes
The raw says:
>ジンバルの微調整も甘かったかな？
>JINBARU no bichousei (?) mo amakatta ka na?
Roughly: Was the gimbal's fine-tuning sweet?
Strange word choice, but it does seem to work in that context.
Aaron Edwards
Not this time, thread. I see you're trying to die again.
Bump!
Luke Ross
Trying to become debris.
Austin Taylor
anyone else see in phase two where hachi kicks the debris into the atmosphere? In the manga not only does he not have enough power in his legs he is also kicking it straight down. This stuff triggers my autism
Ryan Gray
"I'll go after her." Does this "her" mean the rocket or the broken compass?
John Lee
I didn't think he was trying to kick it. He drifted or crashed into it.
Adam Kelly
I think it means the rocket, since he's been treating the rocket as a she for the whole chapter. Now I'm wondering why is that.
It looked more like he didn't notice the debris besides him and crashed.
Lincoln Torres
Rocket is always a phallic symbol. It's hard and perpendicular and shoots. I think the line means he will soon catch up with his big brother. He even looks taller in the last panel.
Tyler Baker
>he's been treating the rocket as a she for the whole chapter.
I'm afraid that argument does not really have any validity here, as there's no indication of any grammatical genus in the Japanese version:
>なあに すぐに追いつくさ
It just says that someone will soon chase after of catch up with something.
As there's no further context given, I think the best interpretation is still that he's talking about himself going after the rocket.
Christian Johnson
>I think the line means he will soon catch up with his big brother.
The problem I see with this is that Kyutaro wants to be an engineer, not an astronaut like the rest of his family.
>He even looks taller in the last panel.
I noticed it too. But didn't thought much about it.
Thanks for the input. Also this reminds me to keep up in learing japanese.
Chase Hall
now that moot has been dead for almost 4 years, i can finally say it
PLANETES IS FUCKING BORING GARBAGE
Jose Edwards
Oh no
Jackson Price
I hope moot buys the site back because of this comment.
Jonathan Richardson
too bad moot is gone and working for jewgle now
Parker Morales
Bump!
Jordan Smith
Anyone still here?
Jack Barnes
what chapter is this from?
William Howard

Ryan White
I figured that he looked taller in the last panel to symbolically show that he's finally begun growing into the next phase of his life.
Andrew Bennett
Planetes is excellent.
Wyatt Gray
Bump.
Dylan Allen
>Was the gimbal's fine-tuning sweet?
Was the gimbal's fine-tuning (too) lax ( ¦ loose)?
Nice old school sci-fi reading.
Owen Miller
>lax ( ¦ loose)
Interesting. I've never seen it used in that way, but it appears you're right and it can mean that.
Thanks.
