Also, if you use an anime tracker like Anilist or MAL: Once Upon a Time… Space was a co-production with the Japanese studio Eiken. The series was released in Japan under the title of Galaxy Patrol PJ (銀ぎん河がパトロールPJ Ginga Patorôru PJ) and is reportedly seen as a cult classic by anime fans in Japan. This means in any case that this show is actually included in many anime databases!

What are we watching?

Episode titles: “The Planet Omega” — “The Saurians” — “The Green Planet” — “Towards Andromeda” — “The Cro-Magnons”

Series description: Once Upon a Time… Space tells about the confrontation of many big galactic powers. Among them there is the Omega Confederation, of which Earth is a member; the military republic of Cassiopeia led by General The Pest; and a powerful supercomputer which controls an army of robots. The show follows the adventures of space police members Pierrot and his friend Mercedes (“Psi”) and adapts elements of Greek mythology and other mainly European folklore. Some episodes concern topics such as the balance of political power; man vs technology; and the existence of God.

Content warnings

I have never watched this show before so I don’t know what to expect from it in terms of content warnings, although this series supposedly contains “little to no violence” except against wild animals.

The previous show in this series, Once Upon a Time… Man, for which Space is technically a continuation, had the following content warnings, if nothing else: Death incl. murder — sexual assault — nudity — animal gore — disease — racist caricatures — religion presented as fact — Eurocentrism
