New YAT Anshin! Uchuu Ryokou

Aired: 1998

The continuation of the comedic science-fiction series broadcast as part of NHK's satellite anime block. Half a year after the events of the previous show, the distinctive members of space travel agency YAT set out again with newly returned Katsura Tenjouin following an accident with the Mother dimensional tunnel. Shifting from the first series' slice-of-life comedy to an action-oriented story built around the evil Ganon Empire that seeks to conquer the universe, the twenty-six episode sequel also weaves in themes of children growing up and parents letting go.
