So I Caught Up and Finished Astra Lost in Space... And Its a Masterpiece 

Breathtaking....

FINALLY! This anime was so slept on this anime season. Definitely one of my favs from this Summer 2019.

I’m so happy you reviewed this, this anime is criminally underrated

This is hands-down one of the best most well-written story I've ever watched. not just in anime, but in General.

Did anyone also notice how after the kids landed on Astra, the camera resolution changed from cinematic to standard 1080p? I felt like that was a deliberate choice to symbolize that no longer is the perspective of the kids and the world at large narrowed by the lies created through the false history. We're now able to see the full picture thanks to the truth, which our protagonists recovered. That was a really clever trick after we got used to seeing the anime in a cinematic resolution the whole way through.

This show kinda got the Re:Zero treatment. Had an hour long first episode and hardly used the opening. But damn this is the first time I’ve seen an anime with an hour long first episode AND last episode.

It was underrated by a lot of big anituber, but I like you... You're the man

9/10 kanata prostetic doesn't fire missiles.

Been watching this series on a weekly basis, and have to agree this was a hidden gem of this Summer anime season. These characters had so much development throughout the circumstances. The twists was worth it because it had us the audience involved. This show did wrapped everything up in the end, and was a deeply satisfying conclusion. This show will be missed, but when one journey ends, a new journey begins. Kanata x Aries happened!

I absolutely loved the anime. The plot twists and the ending was just pefrect!!! I cried with joy. All the relationships where so perfectly matched.

I owo noticed this show on the summer chart and thought a show about some kids in space sounded good. In the first episode when Ares was too far from the ship, and Kanata was like "we'll join hands and form a chain" and rescued her and I was freaking out at how uplifting the scene was, and then whoever was like "we'll just planet hop back home" and I was just so excited to see a bunch of kids put their heads together to survive against all odds. what a good anime

I like how we get good closure in the final episode.

GOD FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICES THIS ANIME It's the most underrated anime of the season, and maybe the year, it went so under radar it's a shame a lot of people missed out on something great

FINALLY! YOU REVEALED IT! My opinion: * The "detective" parts were quite fun, and the plot twists actually got me! * Notice why I used the plural for plot twists? Because there were quite a few, but all of them contributed to the story in some way. * I wish there was more journey of the characters. * Characters were unique and awesome. * Wish they explored more on the political aspect, ending honestly was a little tiny bit rushed. Overall, a great light-hearted story of our character's journey for home!

one of the most unrderated epic shows this season.

The author is Sket Dances writer who was an assistant to Sorachi the gintama writer

I never stopped talking about Astra this entire season no matter how underrated it was Anyone who want something similar check sketch dance made by the same author Also kanata best boy

This was actually really good, i didn't expect it at the start

my problem is when is something amazing when you finish watching the last episode you come back to reality ..that what makes me depressed

I just finished watching this yesterday on Hulu and boy was I in tears at the end. I also new Aries’ story was sus because when Charce gave his somewhat false story to the group earlier on, I immediately noticed Aries spelled backwards is Seira and that’s when I got super invested in her story. This is absolutely a great anime. I’m sad it’s over. 🤧

I was so proud of this adaptation. I was so worried they'd start cutting things and leaving stuff out from the manga, but no. Somehow, they managed to bring everything together in just 12 episodes. Well done.

Oh my god i wasn't the only one who thought it was a masterpiece?! I am so freaking happy!

One of the things I loved was that even though I was kinda upset when someone in the comments spoiled who the traitor was in early episodes, the series still managed to fool me along with the crew when Charles lied about his backstory. Definitely one of my favorites shows of all time 10/10 for me.

those twists are what really keeps this anime so engaging a recommendable series

I thought at first it was the guy with the gun, nah too obvious the quiet girl is it... wait we got her backstory... hmmm Uhh i think it might be blondie, hah! I knew it! Was still surprised

Yes Chibi!!! This and Dr. Stone are legit my favorite anime of the season. I wish that Crunchyroll could have gotten rights to stream it so that it would get the recognition it deserves!

Yes! Thank you for reviewing this! Fun fact! The manga was concluded in 2017, but this year it won the 12th Manga Taisho Awards, along with being nominated with two other awards this year (including with 23rd Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize, which also has The Promised Neverland in the running). So I'm glad that even if the anime didn't have as much buzz in the west (at least, from what I saw), it did get the recognition domestically. Honestly, I do personally think it's a masterpiece too. It hits all the notes that I love, personally. I'm very happy that it had a positive and definitive conclusion, with that strong message

I agree with you my friend.. this anime is a masterpiece.. 10/10 without doubt

You sly b*stard, not having to deal with all those cliffhangers! ^_^ Glad you enjoyed it!

underrated things stay underrated I love this story and how it brought about the end of new civilization by the hands of 10 kids and a hot Russian Alien

My top 5 for the summer, in no order 1. Demon Slayer 2. Astra Lost in Space 3. Fruit Baskets 4, Dr. Stone 5. Fire Force Honorable mentions: Sounan desu ka, Vinland Saga, and HenSuki

The title is nothing short of accurate. In fact, this may just be my favourite anime of the year. It was like watching Planet With but they went berserk with the twists, and loved every second of it. 😁

It's called a masterpiece of an anime

this flew under the radar off so many people. Glad I gave it a try from the start. Definitely a top quality anime.

It's great to know that it's "complete". It's been in my PTW and I've never even dared to see anything about it because I thought it's one of those "advertisements" for the source material. Will see it soon~

Am i the only one that thought Aries was the traitor?

the author of manga is Shinohara Kenta he also wrote Sket Dance manga, and in the past he work with Gintama Author as assistant

Thank you. This is honestly my all time favorite anime. I was hoping someone would cover it. Thanks chibi!

They all just met each other on the first episode in the beginning of the series and got closer than the group in darling in the frankx...Wholesome 👌

I waited to watch this I wasn’t interested at first. But man I’m so glad I watched and binged it as well. It was recommended by a friend of mine

This was done really well. One of the best of summer 2019.

Couldn’t have said it better my self. This story was written so well. Definitely goin down as one of my tops favorites.

thank you chibi for actually reviewing anime on your channel unlike some other well known anime youtubers

I love this show, wish you did an episode review every week.

I fucking loved this anime. Finally a anime with a good start and ending this anime gave me chills for a hour straight after I got done with the series 😂

So...funny you dropped this when you did cause...I finally sat down and watched episode 2-6 in what felt like minutes before stopping due to work...I was not pleased with having to stop because this series is so good! It gives me the warm fuzzies...good stuff!

Ulgar is so cool.. I loved him throughout the anime!!!! ❤❤❤

One of the best animes I've seen in a while

Thanks chibi for the recommendation!!! I binge watched the whole thing and loved every second of it!

Masterpiece is a little much but yeah it’s a good anime with a unsaturated genre. Needs more appreciation

I wish they had a time slip to when Aries and katana gets married and the others in it too

It’s super good probably one of my favorite anime this season I believe it deserve a better rating

My new favourite anime, what an amazing ending..

It feels good when you get a complete, good story once in a while. It's a breath of fresh air really, i very much enjoyed this series, surely a must watch from this season.

Just finished the 48 minute finale and LOVED it! So well made

I liked this series and really loved how everything tied up very nicely in the end. Its amazing what the writer was able to accomplish with so much character development in 12 episodes.

This anime was too good man, I actually wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was!!! This is definitely gonna be an anime I recommend to first time anime watchers, o anyone else who wants a anime that is truly worth your while!

I’m so glad you decided to watch Astra to the end. This is definitely a diamond in the rough. So many plot twists. So many complications. So many topics related to morals. Unfortunately many people quit on it on their first impressions. But I’m glad you stick with it to the end.

From space adventure and survival, to mystery conspiracy, to an entire world altering history.

this was a Great adaptation. When i read the manga is thought it was canceled since it was a jump manga and since it ended so early. The manga has been done over 2 year now. So i guess it was not canceled but it was a completed story to begin. Guess the creator wanted to write a short story and oh boy he did and it was amazing. To bad it was not as well known to the west as it aired and was underrated, guess japan loved it enough to adopt it after 2 years after its ending. This was a gem of a story with great characters, and a great story. Oh Chibi to answer your question, the mangaka for this series was the same person who wrote Sket Dance which was a comedy manga that was pretty popular in Shonen Jump.

Absolutely amazing anime, this will be sorely missed, I did not expect to be affected by this anime so much!

chibi, chibi, and here I thought you missed this great show. so much mystery, who done it, character progression, survival story, and dang those cliff hangers every episode. glad you caught up and loved it, I loved it so much I checked it on the shonen jump app.

Yupz, thanks for fulfilling my request Chibi!

It has been too long since I have watched an Anime that has a good solid story, proper character development, and answers all the question in the end leaving it without it feeling rushed or dragged out. I have not felt the feeling of emptiness in my heart for so long. It reminds me of when there were Anime’s that had good story’s and did not over stay there welcome. I would, without a doubt call this a Masterpiece.

I really liked it too. Was glad to find somebody on RU-vid talking about it.

Haven't watched this, yet this review does leave me intrigued. May expand my horizons with this anime. Thanks for the suggestion, Chibi. :)

I’ve been on an anime binge recently and I gotta say this was one of the bests ones I’ve seen yet. It’s short yet heavily filled with character development. The amount of plot twists and red herrings in this show was staggering. Yet despite that the show never felt convoluted. Everything was paced very well. I highly recommend this anime. Very well done.

This was pretty much perfect adaptation. I don't think they could've done anything better

I absolutely love the plot twist for this anime. I didn't know they would go so far.... But I'm so glad they did. I too highly recommend this 👍💯🔥👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for talking about this I’m a subscriber now 👍

Wow cool i wasnt the only one who binged this and its defenally a masterpiece

I waited so long for a review for this anime soooooo bad! I love it

Watched it due to your high regard of the anime.This is why i'm subscribed to you.Thanks for letting me bingewatch one of if not the best anime out there.Btw finished it same day i watched your vid haha i couldn't stop.The only thing i cant understand is how can the old era not just destroy the asteroid/teleport it away?

Thanks for getting me into this anime! I feel enriched after finishing it haha

A solid finished 12 episodes anime is very rare these days, definitely watch this...

They really did a fantastic job with this show. I've taken some time to give it a rewatch and it really holds up so well. Easily a top 10 show from 2019 and I love how consistently good it was. The kind of space adventure you just don't get to see anymore. Space-anything has been minimal for anime during the isekai era. This was just a great adventure to watch. Just nice to see a complete story adapted so well. No having to wait and hope for sequels or a better remake of it. This is great and will stand strong for a long time.

This and Dumbell Girls are probably my two absolute favorite shows this season

Was a great series, and probably one of the best this season. Don't know if I would call it a masterpiece though.

The author also created a story called Sket Dance, which is amazing and one of my favorite anime of all time

Most underrated anime of the year...

anime + adventure of star trek + emotional baggage and sci fi mystery from Intersteller and Promised Neverland :) loved this so so much

Happy u enjoyed it

It goes without saying that in terms of a show that can manage a 12 episode run time, and feel totally completed, this is a champion of a show. It's as you said, a masterpiece, well paced and the twists are really something else. Easily the best show of the summer season, if not the whole year just for how it feels so complete.

If you pay attention to the opening you can see that Aries name is the only one written upside down. I think this is a wink to where Aries name comes, which is Seira turned upside down. It's not that much but I love this kind of attention given to details and I think it is part of why this anime is so good.

this series is a masterpiece, I agree!!!

Chibi my man....good job.

Yeah, so happy you finished it. This anime is a gem

The clones won and they came back with one arm missing

Just binged the series, absolutely stellar. What a ride.

So I binged the series and I'm glad to say I predicted the enemy and the whole team being clones. I'm an anime-only btw. I saw the thumbnail and remembered only watching the first episode and forgot about the show. then binged the rest before watching this video and I completely agree with you Chibi. It was amazing. I don't think an anime has gotten me that excited since I watched Erased and Re: Zero

Between this, Dumbell and To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts, this season was really great, it had everything I needed for a season. The ONLY thing I'm gonna complain about Astra are their cliffhangers. SERIOUSLY, there where like three episodes (I think it was between 7 and 10) with DEADLY cliffhangers, SO DAMN DEADLY. They hurted xD

I couldn't stop watching it i watched it 5 times before i could get it fully and theres some cool stuff you dont realize watching it once

Finally!!! I’ve been going on about it from the start. First Ep was so so, however the rest is really good.

I can absolutely agree with all the video, after finishing the story, i can say It goes straight to muy personal top5

I binged watched this too. I didn't hear much about this until nux-taku mentioned it and I gave it a shot. This will go down as a masterpiece. "Push through obstacles to reach your destination".

Astra Lost in Space reminded me of this story from the app Choices. It goes from a group of people going on Summer Vacation but they wind up stranded on an island, stuff gets quite sci fi with aliens, the fate of the world and time travel.

A great series with an amazing conclusion

About time you reviewed this!! I was like man... Weekly Dr. Stone but no Astra! This was the best this season!! Next to Vinland Saga

I really like how most of them said most memorable experience is when they being saved by kanata arm then thanking him followed by ed music hand down best moment

THIS ANIME WAS TRULY A MASTERPIECE IM IN LOVE 😭❤️
