“My First Love, Big Bang.”
The headquarters of the space patrol is said to be located in the center of this galactic system. The story is set in “OGIKUBO,” a special ward for remote space immigrants in the solar system, designated by the space patrol. 20 years after the immigration began, space slums have been created, which have the lowest level of the space deviation.
Luluco is a normal junior high school girl whose father is a detective at the space patrol. One day, she visits the Ogikubo branch of the space patrol to save his father who is suddenly frozen. But she happens to be assigned as a space patrol by the chief director Overjustice. Wearing a space patrol suit with strange functions, will she able to save her father and keep the peace of Ogikubo from space criminals? And will she fulfill her life as a junior high school student, including love and study?
Yesterday, we reported that the official Space Patrol Luluco website listed Crunchyroll as a streaming provider for the show. That said, though, this is the first official confirmation from the Crunchyroll proper.
