Sigh...let's talk about this anime. Where do I even start? I recently just finished Uninhabited Planet Survive and now I'm experiencing what I call an "anime coma". It's when you finish an anime and your chest feels empty. You also experience lack of motivation to do anything and you can't stop thinking about the anime. That's what I'm feeling right now.
I seem to like watching animes that look like a children's anime on the surface but actually applies to all ages and has a deeper meaning to them. That...actually sounds kind of morbid if you compare it to my other two "children" anime reviews, Beast Player Erin and Now and Then, Here and There.
Uninhabited Planet Survive takes place in a time where Earth becomes uninhabitable and humans have found new ways to live on other planets through a process called, "terraforming". The story follows a main protagonist, Luna, and her pet robot, Chako, as well as six other main cast of characters. These eight end up going through a gravity storm during a school-trip through space and wind up crash-landing on an unknown planet that resembles Earth. With parts of their space-ship damaged, these kids have no other choice but to survive on this planet until they either find another space ship or help arrives. Little do they know that this planet is hiding a secret that will eventually form an inseparable bond between each other, and the planet itself.
This anime explores many themes such as co-operation, friendship, working together for a cause, preserving the environment, and the importance of living on no matter what happens (similar to Now and Then, Here and Then, eh?) That is why I think that this anime can apply to most people, and that it will be enjoyable to a wide audience of people, even if it is a little cheesy and gets a bit too preachy at times.
A part that I especially enjoyed in the anime is focused on in the first--ehhh--20 episodes or so and it is how these children are using their resources as well as finding more on the island to gather food, make fire, and even build shelter! It was very creative and I enjoyed the whole process.
Any romance? Bah! One thing I was disappointed on, and this is purely my fangirl side, was that they have a pretty big cast of main characters, implied crushes here and there and THEN in the end, show a time-skip of all of them older and fabulous and NONE of them hooked up with each other? I found them very shippable but hey, technically it's a kids' anime so why do they have to include romance, right?
I don't really have much more to say because I'm literally trying to finish this post DAYS after I watched it so I loss some of the emotions I had after finishing the anime. I would recommend this anime to everybody and it's definitely a family-friendly anime so introduce it to your younger siblings or kids if you like!
My Overall Rating: 2.7 stars/5 stars
