So I've just started watching PLANETES, seen the first three episodes and so far it's pretty neat. I enjoy the somewhat realistic depiction of life and work in orbit, very refreshing to see some zero gee in space anime.However, I must report that Ai is really starting to grate on my nerves something fierce. Opinionated up the ass and her voice actress shouts like a maniac, going for "passionate", I suppose, but coming out as "madwoman". Her psychotic rant while hijacking the space burial corpse literally made me cringe. Does it get better?
I didn't really have a problem with her.
I think Ai is awesome, but then I read the manga and didn't watch the anime. Apparently they're pretty different.
