Moonlight Mile (ムーンライトマイル) is an anime based on the manga series by Yasuo Ōtagaki. After discovering an element on the moon that, when used to create a nuclear reaction, would power the Earth for the next 1,000 years, the leaders of sixteen countries declared that their space programs would be combined into the International Space Agency (ISA) – and fifteen nuclear reactors would be built on the moon by the year 2023. As the series goes on, we follow both Goro and Lostman as they become astronauts and hone their skills.

Third, I didn't care at all for how most of the women were portrayed, or for the two main characters - but I'll get to that in the characters section. The voices are done ok, with one pet peeve in the english version. Space, the final frontier, and apparently the final subject this anime cares to write about. And the monstrous, the character design. Another episode is focused on Goro chasing a girl. Based off a manga by Yasuo Otagaki, Moonlight Mile is about two mountain climbers Gorou Saruwatari and Lostman, who decide to become astronauts. While some characters don't look too bad, Goro and Lost Man, all the minor characters look like steroid pumped freaks. Second, the portrayal of damn near all of the women, with the exception of some of the random shuttle staff and others that aren't major characters, is very misogynistic in a way. As for Lostman, we're left with the same gaping hole. Though I probably wouldn't buy the soundtrack, I have nothing bad to say about the audio.CharactersNow, I know I'm not the target audience for Moonlight Mile (as I don't have the right plumbing between my legs), but the characters are what really miffed me.

At the same time, ISA begins a program to research and obtain a new energy source which has been discovered on the moon. Build things up instead of just jumping around months and months inside each episode. Fourth, there's a random hentai scene that is shown just after the misleading intro, that shows various people getting rammed (including overdone jiggling breasts flapping in the wind) - WHICH HAS NO PURPOSE AT ALL! Directed by Brad Silberling. Moonlight Mile - Temporada 2 Titulo Traducido : ¿La milla a la luz de la luna? Really, not much of Moonlight Mile will remind you of Planetes - just the fact that they both are very realistic space dramas. Founded in 2001 as the first anime & manga recommendation database. Premiere hatte der Film am 9. The first season, The guy is unattractive, overweight, bumbling, and not overtly intelligent (though he proves his ingenuity throughout the series) - why are all the women falling over him, even before he is famous? Lostman and Goro are two young climbers who have conquered the highest point on Earth – Mt. AnimationThe only reviews I've read for Moonlight Mile are based on the first few episodes, and condemn the animation as being cheap and low budget. There was enough room in the series to spend an episode on each character, to make things more believable, but they instead used that time with useless filler and stores of Goro bedding the women of the world. Even with these problems, I ultimately enjoyed the story of Moonlight Mile, quite a bit. At first you are watching a passionate tale of two friends with powerful goals; then, the tone changes to one of suspense, as you watch several potentially-fatal situations unfold; finally, the last third becomes even more derailed, with a conspiracy-type investigation that spans several episodes. With such a wide array of subjects to talk about when it came to space, they decided to focus on two men and their rock star status instead, which is a big shame. Moonlight Mile (ムーンライトマイル? First the series starts off with a scene from the moon, apparently an astronaut running into something she wasn't supposed to see, a secret military force already on the moon.

Everest – and now look to the skies for their next challenge: to become astronauts and explore the stars. Overall - 8/10 Background animation comes in representing the good. While Goro becomes a construction specialist, Lostman joins the air force; both will work their hardest to make their way into space, by whatever means necessary. I'm not sure on the creation of the series, but wonder if the call sign "Lostman" was originally an ode to the Pillows moniker. Moonlight Mile Anime DVD Review So, you think you're an Xtreme sports fanatic because you can do a few tricks with your skateboard? Heck we don't even know how these two met.
