But this series is kept to the very minimal and not something you should look for. Why make something that sexy? At first I thought it was for wind resistance but then it occurred to me, there is no wind in space! Fanservice? Probably. Rocket Girls isn’t close to this bit except maybe the skin tight space suit that shows their curves. Initially before I started watching, I thought this was going to be something like Stratos 4, another anime whose theme is a bunch of girls riding up close to space and shoot down meteors. Just that they chose to do something against all odds and something extraordinary. So you think these girls have to be genius nerds to be astronauts because instead of doing what many girls their age are doing (shopping, gossiping, chatting about boyfriends and idols, etc) they’re into something astronomical, then you’re partly wrong because these girls too are ordinary girls. High school girls? Space? Mmm… Often those two words don’t come together in a single sentence but yes, this is what Rocket Girls is about. We have high school girls living out their dreams by venturing into space. Instead, this series if I could say is quite ‘intelligent’ with a pinch of comedy in its own way. Well though, it might have to do with stars but in a different context. Despite its name, Rocket Girls isn’t some sleazy anime title nor is it an idol-type anime aimed at young girls who aspire to be stars.
