@nyrath I think you've posted some of these Space Angel eps before and they are kinda fun (even with the creepy human lips) :). Where's "Prometheus" supposed to be though?
The writers of the Space Angel cartoon are a little confused about the concept of "solar systems". The do not seem to realize that planets orbit stars, and that the Sun is just one of 400 billion sun's in the galaxy.

Ok, in thinking about it, I do know how I missed Space Angel. It's hard to remember in this age of limitless information but, back in the day, unless something was broadcast in your area you would never know about it.

I love the art style on Space Angel. It's hard to tell from, the YouTube video but it almost looks like the characters mouths are composited in from real human actors. It's really cool!
That's because the mouths ARE composites from real human lips. It is called Syncho-vox ®. Despite being much cheaper than drawing animation of moving lips, you can see why it didn't catch on.
Like the cartoon Clutch Cargo, the cartoon Space Angel cut costs by moving static cut-outs, and the horror of Syncho-vox ®
This is where the character's face was a drawing with a cut-out hole for a real person's lips. Very uncanny valley.
