How It Began...

 Jettisoned into the void of space on a prototype vessel by a corrupt organization because he knew too much about their underhanded business dealings and because he had discovered the secrets of magnetic space travel, Mikoshiba Takahashi (or "Mike" as his friends liked to call him, much to his dismay) has found himself orbiting a dying star somewhere on the outer rim of the galaxy with nary a giant magnet to be seen to launch himself back home. He does know how to make one, though. But it's gonna take a while.

He's managed to make contact with the one other person he knows he can count on: a pioneer at the other end of the galaxy trying to start a colony on a deserted asteroid because maybe there the government will leave her the heck alone. Mike's never seen her face to face. They've only ever chatted on covert frequencies, having stumbled upon each other's signals purely by happenstance shortly before the previously aforementioned jettisoning. He knows her only as Ashe, though that may be a false name. He doesn't know, nor does he care. They've become a sort of space pen pals, conversing about similar interests merely in the pursuit of passing time until the polarity has been sufficiently reversed and he can slingshot himself back home, bring the organization down, and maybe, just maybe, convince people that ping-ponging through the stars by magnet is completely feasible because hey, look, he already did it once!

He needs something to occupy his mind while he fiddles around running electric current through the various metal bits he's salvaged from the 3rd deck commissary which, thankfully, was also fully stocked with food. (The organization might be shady, but they're also none too bright.) So he's decided NOW might be the chance to catch up on his extensive anime watchlist.

Luckily, thanks to a certain crazed billionaire's desire to blast free wifi into the depths of space, he's still able to access video libraries from Earth, though the connection is roughly on par with 1995 dialup, so there's a lot of buffering and the pixels aren't great, particularly if there's a lot of meteor activity. 

What you are about to read is his attempt to chronicle his way through that massive anime list. Sometimes it will be humorous. Sometimes it will be poignant. And sometimes it'll just be ramblings and ponderings about the absurdities of that glorious world known to all the weebs as anime.

And maybe other stuff too. Cuz... space is boring if you can't go nowhere, ya know?
