Space.... A boy has the right to dream. There are endless possibilities stretched out before him. Whatever happens from now on, you stand firm, without fear, but with courage. What awaits him down the path, he will then have to choose. No one's going to give you a map, you've gotta walk your own path. The children leave their homes in search of this quest. What is thy desire? As they search, they are always asking questions. What's out there. What's waiting for me? Why was I made, who made me and what did they make me for? You gonna go up to space with your old man or not? Maybe I'll never get over this... I've lived my life following my dreams and I don't have any regrets. You're gonna just keep running away? Just keep running away? I'm not running... Leaving their innocence behind, they set out on this journey and experience many life changing adventures. Countless difficulties lie in wait. Moments of despair, the lure of the razor's edge. There's always hope. Joy. Meeting new friends. They face challenges but in the process they come to find themselves. This is a journey. When they have conquered a new land, yet another sea lies is reflected in their eyes. What's beyond that sea? Let me stay like this until I fall asleep. When I'm like this, I feel like I can dream. I feel like I am dreaming. It'll be a long road, but I'd like for you to come with us. If I won't be too much trouble. T-minus 30 to launch. T-minus 20. So here it is, my journey's finally beginning. T-minus 10, 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0. Aw dad, you know what? When I grow up I'm gonna be a spaceship pilot. Really? Well, if you work hard, maybe you will be. Wow, I can't wait... We've exited the atmosphere. Please put us in orbit now. We have successfully completed planetary launch. You're completely in charge of your own destiny. That's the only certain thing in life. So, believe in yourself and create your own destiny. Don't fear failure. You have nothing to lose, the young only acquire things. The only question now is, how will you use them? No one can stop you. Adventure is waiting for you. You should understand this by now. Time is running out. Open your eyes, shout out and continue forward!

From the point of view of a planet's life, the life of a living thing lasts no more than an instant, but in the end it is only themselves that humans can think of, nothing changes. The time spent by humans in outer space has been a complete waste. The ideal is just a dream. Perhaps there was an age where people dreamed of the possibilities in the outer space, where they could start from scratch. One can't speak of history without referring to the wars in each era as important events. Although humankind has never been able to forget the sorrow that has been caused by the wars, they have not stopped fighting. The blood and tears they shed in battle are merely ceremonial. I'm sure the pale pep talks of fighting for peace have been revealed numerous times in the past The Colonies say they need armaments to maintain peace. It's no different from on Earth. The Colonies think they've joined the big boys.

A civilian shuttle... I'm sure god would understand the steps we're taking. Isn't about time you people realized the ones posing the most threat are none other than yourselves? What's the matter Leyline? Father, what is that? Aren't you glad to be coming home to Earth? No, not a bit. I'm sorry I couldn't spend much time with you, but I'm afraid my work keeps getting in the way. Father, next time we go out to Space... How about leaving yourself a little bit of free time? We won't be needing you any further, Mission accepted. In order to attain peace and coexist, not only in the colonies, but within the whole earth sphere, we must have your cooperation. Unfortunately though, there are still those within the colonies who are doubtful of OZ and who insist on pointing out mistakes made in the past. However, I believe the day will come when people will understand the efforts made by OZ. That's my belief. On the other hand, we have no means to counter violence. That's what OZ is here for. As long as OZ is present, I have no doubt that justice will be served. Once peace spreads into Space, even those who still harbour doubts towards OZ will awaken to the truth. Yes... The shuttle will soon enter the atmosphere. Please be sure to fasten your seatbelt and remain seated.

about

Toonami was a big part of my childhood and I wanted to show my appreciation to Tommy Guerrero, Joe Boyd Vigil and Chris Devoe for introducing me to a lot of awesome music when I was in middle school.

Without being able to watch Toonami, I would probably have had a hard time relating to others, at least when it comes to Anime. I have very fond memories of watching Sailor Moon when I was an adolescent and that lead to an eventual love of Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop.
