YMMV / Astra Lost in Space

• Base-Breaking Character: Quitterie. Some find her Tsundere tendencies, constant whining, complaining, and screaming, and being mean to everyone (especially Kanata and Funicia in the first volume) really annoying, even after she undergoes some much needed Character Development. Others find her actions understandable, since she, like the other kids, is in a bad situation that they don't know how to handle, so of course she'd complain a lot, and warmed up to her when she started to mature as a person.
• Captain Obvious Reveal: For anime watchers, mainly. The adaptation makes Charce being The Mole way more unsubtle and episodes leading up to the reveal dropped many hints.
  • Also Luca's effeminate looks made his intersex reveal nowhere near surprising.
• Complete Monster: Doctors Jed Walker and Olive Raffaeli lead a conspiracy of Immortality Seekers responsible for the events of the series. Having perfected a method of transferring a person's mind into a clone body, the two doctors and the project's various wealthy backers raise clones of themselves as their children, with the ultimate aim of eventually killing them and transplanting their own brains into the younger clones; the fact that the children are effectively their own people means nothing to them. When laws against cloning intensify, Jed and Olive callously lead their cabal in attempting to have all of them killed in a space travel accident to save themselves from incrimination.
• It Was His Sled: Given how effeminate Luca looks it wasn't anywhere near surprising when they revealed to be intersex despite always referring to themselves as male.
• Spiritual Successor:
  • This is the closest we'll get to an anime adaptation of Star Trek: Voyager.
  • For that matter, this is the anime adaptation of Lost in Space... it's even in the name.
  • For those looking towards the early 2000s, this looks quite a bit like an updated Mujin Wakusei Survive.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Luca looks like a young boy to some, and a young girl to others. It doesn't help that his seiyuu in both adaptations switches from male to female. This is intentional both in universe and out, given his intersex nature.
