About Mighty Space Miners

Looking for background on Mighty Space Miners (おいら宇宙の探鉱夫)? This action, adventure and sci-fi series by Triangle Staff (1994) starts out like this. The premise: In the mid-21st century, mankind has begun the exploration of space, and one company, Planet Catcher Corporation, has pioneered capturing asteroids and comets to mine the resources within them for use on Earth. On one such asteroid, Tortatis, lives 12-year-old Nanbu Ushiwaka - the only child ever to be born in space and survive.

Beyond that: Survival itself is no longer guaranteed - a military satellite triggers a disaster during an operation to capture Halley`s Comet. Can they escape before the nuclear reactor on the asteroid melts down? Or are they doomed to die as they lived, among the stars?

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Kozaburou Nanbu (Akio Ootsuka) and Ushiwaka Nanbu (Kappei Yamaguchi) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Triangle Staff, which means the visual identity of Mighty Space Miners follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Its 6.2/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Akio Ootsuka as Kozaburou Nanbu, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 1994, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
