Anime director Mitsuo Iso announced at the Anime Central convention on Sunday that he is directing and scripting Chikyūgai Shōnen Shōjo (Extraterrestrial Children), his first new original anime since 2007’s Dennō Coil.
I wanted to portray a story of a group of children thrown into that environment as if it had actually happened.”
Iso remarked that, “I’d been seeing less anime set in space, so I thought I’d make one myself.
The anime is set in 2045, where the Internet and AI are commonplace even in space, and centers on a group of children stranded in space after a large-scale accident occurs in a space station.
