About Twin Spica

Meet Twin Spica (ふたつのスピカ), a drama, sci-fi and supernatural anime by Group TAC (2003). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: When Kamogawa Asumi was just a baby, her mother was grievously injured when a rocket crashed to the ground. Five years later, having been in a coma all the time, Asumi's mother finally dies, and the little girl struggles to come to terms with the death of a mother she barely remembers.

Soon after, in the midst of her turmoil, she runs into "Lion-san", a strange figure wearing a lion mask and claiming to be a ghost. Lion-san helps Asumi to bury her mother's ashes, and finally, Asumi reaches her own decision: "When I grow up, I'm going to be a rocket pilot."

In a drama series like this, character writing and emotional payoff matter more than spectacle. Voice work is led by Akiko Yajima as Asumi Kamogawa and Takehito Koyasu as Lion-san. If you count yourself among viewers who prefer story and feelings over flashy action, put it on your list. At 20 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
