Quote:

The original novels' story is set in a fictional world, 10 years after a long war divided the world into two superpowers: the Zirnitra Union of Republics in the east, and the United Kingdoms of Arnak in the west. Both of these superpowers now test their ambitions against each other in a space race. In 1960, the Union's Premier Gergiev announces the Mechtat Program, a prestigious plan to launch manned missions into the final frontier. To this end, the Republic establishes the isolated city of Laika 44, where cosmonaut candidates compete for planned manned missions to space, and scientists develop the technology to make it happen, all in an environment of secrecy.

The story centers on Lev Leps, a backup astronaut candidate, and his new companion, the vampire Irina Ruminescu. As part of a daring new Operation Nosferatu, the Mechtat Program will use Irina as a test subject for various conditions expected in space, and ultimately as part of a manned mission, with Lev overseeing Irina's training as a cosmonaut. For reasons of their own, both dream of going into space.

Well...this is definitely a different take on the Space Race

Pretty sure Ron Moore has never thought doing this in For All Mankind.

Nachtwandler · 2021-03-17, 03:35

Vampire-cosmonaut. Just what I needed. And they got Megumi Hayashibara to voice the main heroine...

Cosmic Eagle · 2021-03-17, 04:29

LOL I actually read this some time back. Never thought it would get anime of all things.

I mean, this along with Sabikui Bisco.....What are the odds

Does any sort of English translation exist?

I never thought I'd hear Megumi Hayashibara play a Main Heroines that's not a reprisal, but if anyone could pull off a beautiful, ageless, vampire

She did a few new lead roles before as recently as 3 years ago.

Megumi Hayashibara?! Geez, it feels like it’s been ages since she did any VA-ing outside of the Evangelion movies.

And now I feel old........

Its about time we get to see Not!Cold War Space Race premise, been a long time since Wings of Honneamise.

Kanon · 2021-03-17, 17:58

This feels like it could be interesting. I can't think of any anime exploring these events. I mean, sure, it takes place in a fictional world, but it sounds like it's exactly same as the real world (right down to Russian names and dates)... with a vampire loli.

The timing of this series is great with American and Chinese plans to return to the Moon.

So I replace Shield Hero with a vampire cosmonaut romance

I hope they won't play to much with "bad commies" stereotypes. A copule of scenes in this PV look pretty alerting. And I'm not a fan of Ali Project in general. Though, it is not the worst of their songs.

Frontier · 2021-08-19, 13:53

Looks like a cute and interesting series

.

Man, Megumi Hayshibara still sounds great for her age

I'd guess the big boss at the beginning of the trailer is supposed to be Sergei Korolev. Close enough for me to make that guess, anyway. The rocket is easily recognizable as Korolev's R-7. I love that kind of attention to detail.
