Instead of a full-fetched war, the two superpowers rely on a ‘space race’ to determine who is superior. It may seem like a peaceful solution to all problems but is far more hostile than that.

I am sure most of us have shared a similar dream as a child, but that ‘far-fetched’ dream fades away as we grow older and get burdened with responsibilities.

So, why not relive the same dream again through the eyes of Irina? I am quite confident that the anime will revive the ‘child’ within you who wants to explore beyond the boundaries. 

About The Moon, Laika, and Nosferatu

10 years after a long war has come to an end, the world is divided into two superpowers: the Union of Zirnitra Republics in the east and the United Kingdom of Arnak in the west.
