Planetes, fish shell, libertarians, pakora

I finally finished watching Planetes last night. It's a hard science fiction anime: 2075, Earth orbit, a team of people picking up debris. It took me a long time to get past the first 4 episodes, but I don't know if that was their quality or my enervated mood at the time; past few days saw me go from 5 to 26. Good mechanics, silence in space. Not perfect: given all the debris tracking, criminals shouldn't be able to even think about getting away, but that was just one minor plot, and to be fair they did use the words "active stealthing" even if they didn't justify them.
