Orphan's final show for 2022 is the first English release of the 1992 sci-fi OVA
Star Dust. It's set in the "near future" (2022!). The Earth is so polluted that garbage is disposed of in space - regular trash in the Sun, hazardous waste on Jupiter. Unscrupulous waste-contraband runners dump radioactive waste in the Sun to save money, which has caused a massive increase in the frequency and size of solar flares. Combating this problem are the patrol ships of Cosmo Ecology. The show recounts one encounter between a patrol ship and a well-armed contraband runner. VHS encode. Action sequences were the director's specialty, and the ones in
Star Dust are quite well done. See
this blog entry for more details.

A note of warning: this show contains racist caricatures and racist dialog. I think the point is for the racist western characters to learn a lesson about noble behavior from the Japanese protagonist, but it's clumsily done and really distracts from the story. YMMV.
This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
