Planetes #6 is a perfect end to a perfect series. The over arching political wranglings (third world countries fighting against massive funds for space development when people are starving at home) are resolved as clinically as they began, but the real star - twinkling high above anything else, is the understated, touching friendships and romances lost and found during the series. The characters, especially Tanabe, are strong willed, idealistic but not without empathy, or love, and to see them win out in the end, set against the beautiful landscape of space, is a joy to watch.

Agree with this review? What do you think of Planetes #6?
 
A brilliant end to a brilliant series.

It seems a shame that it hasn't sold that well and that many people are missing out on this series.
 
I guess Planetes would always be a hard sell - it really needs to be on TV because superficially it doesn't look very exciting, you have to actually watch the series to understand why it's so good.

The fact Planetes #6 isn't listed on online shops like Play.com doesn't help matters either. It's like it just slipped out when no one was looking :(
