Moonlight Mile
Anime DVD Review
So, you think you're an Xtreme sports fanatic because you can do a few tricks with your skateboard? You've got nothing on Gorou Saruwatari and Jack "Lostman" Woodbridge, two mountain climbers who reach the summit of Mount Everest and then decide they want to go even higher... into space!
 An international effort to mine Helium-3 on the moon and bring it back to Earth to use as a power source sounds more like something you'd read on the front page of Slashdot, and this near-future science fiction series packs a significant amount of real science and space realism into a guts and glory drama about two manly men and their dream to boldly go where no man has gone before.
 But don't think it's going to be easy. Obstacles practically as large as Everest itself loom before them and only by being smarter, stronger and better than everyone else can they overcome the trials and tribulations of the adventure that awaits them.
But can the super powers of the world really share such a valuable resource? As yet another war erupts in the Gulf, and shadowy government agencies vie for underhanded supremacy in this new frontier, our two adventurers must face their own hardships in their struggle to make their dreams of reaching the moon a reality. Who will make it there first? Just how far are they willing to go? What will be waiting for them when they get there?
 Produced by powerhouse studios Klockworx (Chrono Crusade, Full Metal Panic) and Imagica (Divergence Eve, Gravion), Moonlight Mile is chock full of engaging visuals and exciting plotlines that follow a very realistic course through the gritty days of space pioneering that will excite futurists and space nuts.
