Space Bug: The Journey Home...
Last year, I ventured out into the world of streaming anime, yet again, to see Space Bug: The Journey Home...
Since Space Bug: The Journey Home is clearly intended for a younger audience, as such, there are, of course, no naughty bits, bloodshed or gore. But, even so, some serious discussions involving climate change, genocide and death do occur during the series. The series is rendered in a 3D CG form where the characters are simplified and rather round. Much of the interior backgrounds, however, are rather angular and have a common visual theme. Outdoor backgrounds can be a bit sparse, at times, with dry, dessert or icy landscapes appearing more frequently.
The series is quite a bit longer than I was expecting and, at first, the sheer number of episodes seemed a bit overwhelming, but, nonetheless each episode was entertaining and the series, as a whole was fast-paced and fun to watch. The mystery surrounding humanity's disappearance and the scope and magnitude of the events that our heroes wade through doesn't become clear until the latter episodes. And, quite frankly, the answers, when they do finally come, are a bit anticlimactic. Overall, Space Bug: The Journey Home was a lot of fun to watch. I gave Space Bug: The Journey Home a 4 out of 5.
Space Bug: The Journey Home is an epic adventure story that follows the exploits of a group of insects as they attempt to make the journey from a space station somewhere in deep space to Earth. Along the way, they encounter other insects, predators and an array of insect-killing robots. As the series starts, all the humans abandoned the space station on which our heroes reside. And, as the series progresses, a lingering mystery surrounds the apparent disappearance of humans. The series, at 26 episodes, takes a long, long time to reveal its shocking truths.Space Bug: The Journey Home is about a group of insects taken up into space for use in experiments by humans. After the humans hastily abandon a space station, the insects left behind on the station embark on an epic space adventure, as they journey back home to Earth.
