Sinopse:
The story is set in the 22nd century where space travel, planet colonization and anti-gravity basketball are practically everyday things. Planet Earth has become uninhabitable, and therefore people live in colonies on the surrounding planets. On a school field trip, a mistake causes the protagonist, a young transfer student named Luna, her pet robot, and six of her classmates to be thrown through a gravity storm and crash land on a seemingly uninhabited planet. There, with Luna as their leader, the robot cat Chako, the lone wolf Kaoru, the spoiled rich boy Howard, the shy Sharla, the obedient Bell, the prideful musician Menori and the young genius Shingo must fight for their survival. But is the planet really uninhabited, or is there someone or something out there, waiting in the shadows?

I wish this series existed when I was younger. Even though I'm much older now than the fourteen year-old characters, I can still appreciate that this is a special show. Sure, it's a show for kids or young teens, but it doesn't pander, doesn't try to be precious or cute, and has more respect for its intended audience than nearly any other show I can think of. And I can think of several shows intended for adults that aren't half as smart. Overall, the story line is excellent. The group of young teens (plus one "animal", as it says in the opening)get stranded on an uninhabited planet. The main premise is an old one: characters get stranded, must learn how to survive, get along, deal with assorted trials of nature and bad guys, figure out how to get back home. But for once, the writers handle it all very well. Episode plots are tight, the story moves along briskly but without sloppiness. One story arc lasts too long, which made the next one feel far too short, but other than that, the writing is as good as that in any top series.
A lot of thought went into real elements of survival in the wild, and the kids definitely have a hard time of it before they learn how to do all the necessary tasks to feed and shelter themselves. It's not a picnic at all, contrary to most shows, live action or animated. The characters themselves start out as cardboard cutout stereotypes, but eventually individually-focused episodes and a bit of back-story flesh them out enough that you can't help but root for them all. The writers maintain a good group dynamic throughout the series, with different characters revealing strengths and weaknesses along the way.
Also, Chako is quite simply the best cute animal mascot character in any series, ever. And I absolutely hate cute animal mascots (except Teto from Nausicaä). I hate them in anime, and I hate them in Engineering in the new Star Trek movie. But Chako is a good one.
The artwork isn't all that great, but it's not meant to be. The characters and animals all have a Pokemon look to them, but it's not objectionable. The backgrounds, landscapes, and alien designs are well done, with nice colors, giving the viewer a good feel for the planet and its creatures. As others have mentioned, the character artwork and animation is very inconsistent. It seems like some of the in-betweens just weren't done as well as the key frames. There are also a few moments where you want to shout at the screen to tell the animator not to attempt to do certain camera angles if he can't draw those perspectives. But overall the artwork is nice and colorful enough, with that Pokemon-like bright and cheerful look, while still having a different enough to have its own character.
The opening sequence music really sets the mood, and reminds me of 80s American TV for some reason. End music is decent enough, but not as good. Background music is pretty good, and mostly unobtrusive (as it should be).
I'll miss this show now that I've seen the whole thing. Disney would make a fortune licensing it for the US market, and I don't understand why they haven't brought it over already.

Mujin Wakusei Survive or Uninhabited Planet Survival was an amazing adventure that I can say every age group, and gender will find enjoyment in. Story The story revolves around seven teens and a pet robot getting trapped on a (supposedly) uninhabited planet when their escape pod gets blown off course and gets pulled into a gravity storm. Now often the story flows into a few different arcs from starting off on how they group will survive on the planet they landed on, to a more sci-fi genre as they start figuring out the mystery of where they are and how they'll survive-- and my gosh arethese teenagers resourceful.
Art
Art wise it was made in 2004 so the art could be better at times, and it has a very kid like charm to it with the bright colours. Though I don't want to say this show is for kids-- I think that was the intention starting out, but as the series progresses there are a lot of different dark undertones that I feel might be to inappropriate for someone under 13. Overall though the art has a lot of still frames at times and pan shots that get a little over bearing, it is one of the shows weakest elements, however I think the story overall makes up for it.
Sound
A good mix of themes for the characters, and when someone's in trouble the music really plays a part in getting you into the show, as well as when something mysterious happens. And at the conclusion I'm pretty sure the track playing is what got me close to tears.
Characters
Now this shows greatest weakness and greatest strength comes from it's characters. You have the average cliche group with these characters, the always positive one our main character Luna, the rich brat Howard, the class president Menori, the quiet mysterious one Kaoru, etc.
Now at the beginning of this series the actions of some characters (pretty much everyone but Luna- but even her) drives you up the wall with stupid decisions- particularly Howard as he constantly is causing problems for the crew with his narcissist attitude and choices. I literally wanted to throw my remote at one point he kept infuriating me, but because these characters start off annoying, I realized by the very end they'd grown so much they didn't annoy me any more.
The growth these characters face by living on this planet, honestly, is remarkable and noticeable throughout. As each character grows in their own way and slowly progresses through the story. Even the flashbacks aren't all shown at once, Karou's backstory I don't think was even revealed till around episode 30-- they spread it out, there isn't some strict formula to it, as each character goes through growth at their own speed and we don't know everything about each character right away, as we learn the basis behind all their actions.
Even the main protagonist Luna, who is never not positive finally reaches her moment of growth near the end, and you recognize how she'd been growing throughout the series.
Overall... this show was amazing, and near the end I couldn't stop watching as the mystery of everything was coming together, and the group is probably given one of the biggest dramatic choices in this whole genre. Characters I hated in the beginning I'd completely fallen in love with, and in the end the conclusion of the whole series left me satisfied.
If you're looking for a series with a Lost sort of vibe to it, with action, adventure a sci-fi mystery that's actually resolved and a conclusion that will most likely leave you satisfied, then this series is worth getting into. Just don't let the characters personalities at the beginning scare you away.

Uninhabited Planet Survive is basically a story set in the future where humans are forced to live in space colonies due to Earth being uninhabitable. It focuses on a group of children and their adventures when their space ship unexpectedly crashes during a school field trip onto an uninhabited planet. Well, its a story of survival on a remote island after a shipwreck or a plane crash (think a child's version of Cast Away and Lost), but add elements of sci fi into it and you can imagine the basic premise of Uninhabited Planet Survive. Personally I really enjoyed the story ofthis anime, as it touches on many of the topics of actual survival in the wild if one was to unexpectedly find themselves stranded on a remote island (for example, having to find food, fresh water and shelter), but also had more fantastic themes often involved with science fiction, like monsters and aliens. However, this anime is obviously targeted at a much younger audience as all the characters are of elementary school age and as a result are oftentimes at an elementary school children annoyance level :p. The characters are realistic, although a little bit expected, with the typical rich brat, the classroom president type, the slow witted ox, the nerd, the girl that is always scared, the mysterious emo male, and the peacemaker (whom is the main character of the anime) and her pet robot.
Overall this anime is recommended to those of you who like stories of survival as well as discovery, but dont mind the characters being like your younger siblings. The real strength of the anime lies in its story, as the plot was well paced and you really get a sense of being part of this group, which is a lot of fun especially when they discover new things about the planet.

I enjoyed this show immensely, and with my attention span that's saying something. Though this was over fifty episodes, they managed to make each one interesting, and they kept my attention. There is a twist in the story, which keeps it going but at the same time is kind of just... what the fuck? But it ended well, so I was alright with it. The art is simple, decent, but not the best I've seen. Sound is also alright, but I positively despised one [Sharla] of the characters voices, I think they could have cast her better. The character development was well done, considering the circumstances andthe ages of the members, I think that they all developed well, and realistically.
So yeah, over all I really enjoyed this ^.^

I believe Mujin Wakusei Survive to be something everyone will enjoy to watch. It's a coming-of-age story set in science fiction world, while also an adventurous story about the survival of a group of friend in an uninhabited planet. It's one of the most interesting kind of show you can find even in this vast anime world. Set in the futuristic world, now the earth is long gone due to obvious environmental changes, we follows a group of seven middle schoolers on their school trip to see some planets. An unexpected accident occurs and they got blasted to an uninhabited planet. Where homesickness is theleast of their worries.
While a bunch of kids is not certainly something to your liking since they're still kids, they surely whine a lot. But the story is its strong point, every steps they took in order to survive in such harsh conditions is just so pleasing to watch. The new sceneries, the dangerous creatures, settings up places to live, hunting, farming,.. my adventurous spirit is burning hot while watching every episodes of Mujin Wakusei Survive. It toned down a bit when the mysteries kicked in but remains still the ends.
One of the best aspect of this show is that you can watch the kids grown up through so many hardships and surely I feel a heart-warming and sad parting with them at the end. Everything characters got proper times to develop and fresh out so I think they handled the characters very well even though it's inconsistent sometimes.
The animation is definitely above average, the designs are simple like though Pokemon anime but still good and pleasing to watch. The soundtrack fits the tone of show. I love the melancholic sountrack that play whenever they feel down, that's a lovely ost.
Overall, for fan of adventures and science-fiction, this show is a must watch. And like I said above, I believe everyone can find something enjoyable about this wonderful show.

English: I've watch this anime on TV, but always lost some episodes. So, only now, I can say that I watched everything online. And I have to say, even with those kind of unoriginal characters, this story is so unique that you are caught by surprise when you see yourself attached and rooting for them. It's a story with some turnaround, wrathful (sometimes caused by mistakes that sounds so human and so "real life") and a constant cheering for that character that you love the most. Portuguese: Planet Survival foi um dos animes que passavam no Animax e que, quando eu perdia um episódio, eu desistia de continuar assistindoa saga... Mais recentemente, parei para assistir online e consegui terminar! Apesar dos personagens bem "comuns" e nem um pouco originais, a história em si é bem única. Você se sente ao lado daqueles sobreviventes, que lutam para continuar vivendo de maneira digna e sem perder as esperanças.
É uma história com várias reviravoltas, muita indignação (principalmente por conta de erros muito humanos que alguns personagens cometem) e uma torcida constante por aquele personagem por quem tu mais simpatiza.

Mujin Wakusei Survive, Uninhabited Planet or Planet Survival... It was certainly a nice show to watch, even as an adult. I watched this show when i was a kid, but now i can fully understand why i liked it. The main idea is gripping, being lost in one planet with strangers, while you're trying to survive with them. The bond of relationships is the best of this anime. The cast of characters is rich and varied, each one fulfilling a necessary function for the plot. There is not useless characters. It has realistic and hopefully messages, without falling into idealism or incongruities. Good comedy and jokes,in correct moments and situations. The several plot twist and cliffhangers are intriguing.
In addition, the plot and development is carried in a pleasant, entertaining and great way. The growth of each character, with their interactions and the bond of relationships with others is organic. Everything in this anime is really good. Music is also fantastic.
It has only some inconveniences: The problem with the monsters and some things in final chapters. There are moments when the characters have conveniences when confronting them or fleeing from them. The comedy, randomness or plot ability can't justify at all this matter... Also of some convenient or rushed things in final chapters. Regardless of that, it ends quite well, even with a philosophical message of the human being... and the conclusion is satisfactory and heartwarming.

There’s a special place in my heart for all the anime that try to do something different even if they end up hitting rock bottom or just not being that good. By the time first cour of the show was over I had a seat prepared for MWS and then it just started yelling and throwing shit at my window. Mujin Wakusei Survive on first glance seems to be a show centred around people who are least prepared for it having to survive on an alien planet with some mystery slowly creeping up on them. Survival in the wild has been a common theme in videogames and reality TV shows, but I never came across it in anime so the premise sounded interesting. The first dozen of episodes admirably delivers on it bit by bit with almost episodic stories that nonetheless move the plot forward. Each of them focused on some aspect of survival. Finding food, water, shelter, crafting tools and generally getting familiar with flora and fauna of their surroundings. Even though it never went in-depth on any of it there was a tangible sense of progression to characters and story. Variety of situations was enough to wonder what will happen next and the answer is nothing good.
After some time, parts of the show that revolve around survival quickly lose their charm. What makes the theme interesting is seeing people overcome the dangers that arise when one is thrown out of their comfort zone into the wild where something as simple as drinkable water can be a luxury. It can serve as an excellent platform for some character development since the circumstances force it but no, they didn’t really do any of that.
In MWS it never feels like our group is ever in danger. When they feel thirsty, there turns out to be a convenient source of water nearby. When they need food, there’s a small river with plenty of fish. When they need to do some heavy lifting, there’s a friendly pseudo-elephant nearby, etc. Encounters with wildlife, hostile or not are extremely rare and are normally nothing more than a plot device instead of an actual threat. This manufactured feel of the show and overall convenience makes a large portion of it feel like nothing more than an afterthought.
I’ll give the show credit for pretty much every character having a role in the group that makes them regularly useful in one way or another but the writing is unfortunately too weak to take advantage of it. There are even few moments in the show where the individuals members are separated from the group which could serve as a good reminder of their strengths and weaknesses but it usually ends up with them just scraping by until they get saved shortly after. Because of this the cast never gets any substantial development. Like half of them get over little hang ups that didn’t impede their life and that’s it. At least there’s some nice party moments peppered throughout that make them feel like they’re actual friends and not just a bunch of cardboard cutouts someone put close to each other.
In the final two cours the show leans heavily toward mystery and adventure only to fail both once again.
Mystery of MWS consists of our group following the trails of seemingly extinct alien civilization to discover what actually happened to it. It’s not a bad concept by itself but the execution is terrible. What makes mysteries interesting is that when done right, they will more than likely heavily involve the audience. The viewer will be kept constantly engaged with the story cause they want to solve the puzzle, put all the clues together and feel satisfaction from finding the right solution. MWS boldly doesn’t adhere to any such standards so it just throws you random shapes and after writers realize that it doesn’t make much sense they’re gonna tell you that the puzzle is actually meant to be like that. It feels like the last arc was just straight up written as they went along cause it would take pages just to go over every stupid thing that happened, from the super smart AI trying to kill people he wanted to capture to kids beating a gravity storm with the power of imagination.
Adventure is somehow even weaker. Good adventure shows usually try to excite you over and over with creative setpieces and intriguing settings but MWS for some reason didn’t care for it in any capacity. Despite 99% of vegetation looking exactly like something you’d see on Earth and animals looking like someone had to redesign Earth fauna to avoid God hitting them with copyright strike the show still wants you to think that this is some wildly different alien planet. It doesn’t work, at times I even had doubts whether or not they’re supposed to have been stranded on (at that point abandoned) Earth but no, I guess it’s just some massive coincidence.
This is not made any better with the mediocre background art. While compositions themselves are fine at times, the actual technical quality of them is poor. They’re obviously digitally drawn and look like someone just upscaled SD art. You can make something look unique and majestic without coming up with outlandish settings but not with this level of art.
At times this clashes heavily with crisp and vibrant character designs, drawing a clear line between them and background. To say a bit more about the chara design it’s actually one of the stronger parts of the show. They’re very simple, clean, colourful and do a good job of bringing out the personality through design.
Music is unfortunately unremarkable. It’s a shame cause the show starts off on a great opening song with upbeat mood that perfectly captures the feeling of a optimism in the face of adversity but the OST for the show it self reminded me more of generic, factory made theme you’d get in a cheap visual novel.
In the end MWS is a show that doesn’t properly utilize its premise or deliver on it to any meaningful extent. The technical aspect of animation is solid and consistent but content lack creativity and imagination. Writing is terrible and ending is so stupid I wish it didn’t exist. I can’t recommend this to anyone cause it’s a massive waste of time.

Wow, what a series. If you want to feel every emotion in the book, then this is definitely the animé for you. Joy. Worry. Suspense. Gut-punching terror. Sadness. Laughter. Who knew a single series could do all that? Definitely an all-time favourite. Characters are portrayed accurately, and with many dimensions that get explored in detail - the 52 episode length is definitely put to good use here. You'll find yourself liking and becoming attached to the characters as the series goes on, and sad to leave when you reach the end of the series. The story is gripping. Things aren't sunshine and roses - they have adifficult time and can't catch a break, but that leads to suspense and a great story. Multiple twists will keep you guessing until the very end.
The art for it's time is perfectly fine. In a sense, its simplicity does help to give the focus on the story and the characters.
The sound is masterfully done. The background music in particular is beautiful - it really helps to get across the emotion of the moment.
Overall, this is an absolutely fabulous animé that is on my must-watch list.

This series is the greatest disappointment I've seen up to this point, and I mean that as a compliment. Throughout the first half, it functions well as a survival story involving kids by providing adequate tension, the right tone, and likable characters. You'll get bonus enjoyment out of this if you, like me, actually enjoyed reading Robinson Crusoe throughout all the building activities because you like following the steady progress. Despite supposedly being a kids' show, the most kid-ish aspect of this is that most of the characters are emotionally mature and get along well. If this was a live-action series for adults, you'd havethe characters start bickering each other for the sake of drama from Day 1. Instead, the writers opt to concentrate all the unlikability and instigating duties in Howard, which makes him especially hate-able for most of the show for the benefit of keeping all the other characters pristine. Other than that, the obstacles that the characters face are presented with an adequate amount of difficulty and complexity for both kid and adult viewers.
On top of the survival storyline backbone, the characters are drawn well enough figuratively and literally to evoke audience sympathy and a genuine sense of comradery. The tasteful character designs help vitalize the archetypal frameworks that the characters are written from and endear you to their simplicity. Though the characters are archetypal on paper, the writing is moderate enough not to exaggerate their archetypal qualities. In addition, while having a strong plot lessens the need for interesting personalities, the combination of the art style, lack of cringe, and general tone of the show lend it an coating of authenticity that makes the characters work and even shine.
Thus, when the show does focus on the pasts and development of individual characters, they are able to rise above their archetypes and become three dimensional and sympathetic. The character development isn't major; it's more like little adjustments that round them out--- in this important aspect, the series is rather mature in its subtlety. Besides the individual developments, there is also the natural progression of the group as a team and as friends as they brave the forces of nature together. This is one of the few times in anime that the power of friendship actually works, because it's shown rather than told.
All this is helped by the fantastic soundtrack, which is NOT generic music from a cheap visual novel as Gundroog says. However, over the course of 52 episodes it is stretched thin and the main pieces are overused, even if they're good enough that you won't get sick of them.
Now for the issues. There aren't many issues throughout the first half if you personally didn't notice any copouts to the obstacles. While it is true there are some conveniences that save the protagonists, it was not enough to scratch the tension and enjoyment for me. On the other hand, around episode 20 they introduced a character that did nothing for the show but serve as dead weight and a vehicle for the writers' message, though it's not a major issue. Later, the kid-friendly nature of the show would rear its head and for the first time truly disrupt the show because the kids would refuse to use lethal force against lethal threats. But most of those instances were concentrated in one episode.
By far, the glaring problem with this series that made it fall flat on its face occurs in the last twenty episodes, wherein the show jumps the shark. Firstly, these episodes add nothing to the show because the character arcs were already complete and the power of friendship was already shown quite well. Secondly, they actually damage what was already built by doing what half of all anime always seem to like to do: go for some preachy emotionally driven message making a generalization about humanity that oversimplifies the issues at hand and comes across as more stupid than inspiring because of the lack of common sense. There's "power of love translates to superpowers", there's "logical AI can't understand power of human emotion", there's "logical AI decides it's best to wipe out humanity", there's "save the planet at all costs", there's "kill characters off just to bring them back for dramatic effect", and there's "power of friendship to bring back mind controlled friends" all rolled into one. What was once a survival show becomes a save-the-planet show, which doesn't work because of the disparity between a group of powerless kids and the planet-level threat.
All in all, it's terrible. Which brings me to the whole point of this review: to advertise my alternate ending. Look, normally, if a show ends badly despite starting off well, I can pinpoint flaws and warning signs that were present throughout the entirety of the show, such that you can't only focus on the good parts. But here, there's such a stark disparity in quality between two halves of the show that I think it's totally appropriate to cut it in half. I highly recommend you watch the first half of the show and ignore the last 20 or so episodes unless you want it to spoil the show for you. Instead, I've edited episode 33 to make it the ending instead. I've uploaded all 33 episodes up until that point on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg1v2eEVwW-axOWmhF7RdDandgiDbrt16
But who am I to tell you how to watch a show, right? Maybe you won't find the second half (mainly the last 10 episodes) as intolerable as I did. Regardless, you'll still be attached to the characters enough by the end of it, so that central pillar is still there.
