As ProSieben MAXX announced on Facebook yesterday, the TV anime "Astra - Lost in Space" will air every Friday starting November 4, 2021, at around 10:00 PM during the Anime Night.
Masaomi Andō directed the anime at Studio Lerche. Norimitsu Kaihō was responsible for the series' scripts. Keiko Kurosawa designed the characters and served as the chief animation director. Masaru Yokoyama and Nobuaki Nobusawa composed the music.
ProSieben MAXX describes the series as follows:
Imagine being on another planet for the first time… and suddenly drifting in space, with only darkness and distant stars in your helmet's view. This is exactly what happens to Kanata and seven other teenagers during an excursion. They only escape certain death because the spatial distortion—or whatever it was—spat them out near an old, derelict spaceship floating in the void. Barely making it on board, they manage to activate the life support systems. Now they at least have air and warmth, but barely any supplies.
The "Astra," as they name their ship, doesn’t set a course for home but instead zigzags to the next planet where there might be (edible) life, and from there to the next and the next, always searching for food and other useful things. And all the while, they remain threatened by the strange spatial distortion! Could it be that none of this was an accident and that there’s a saboteur among them, ensuring they disappear in space forever?
