Planetes (TV Series 2003- 2004) is a Japanese hard science fiction manga by Makoto Yukimura. It was adapted as a 26 episodes anime television series. The story revolves around a team of space debris collectors based in the debris ship Toy Box in the year 2075.
Space is littered with tons of debris from the artificial satellites, which causes great nuisance for space travel and exploration. It is up to space debris collectors to keep the space clean. Even though story takes place in the year 2075, technology shown in the anime are not really advanced (like warp drives or jumping from one star system to an another), the show is based on the science and technology we use now. Also the show gives a look into, how we will see space exploration in the coming years.
Planetes is a excellent show, you really shouldn't miss it.
