Mini episode animes with really short run times can be either really good or just way out there. Infinite Space (wiki) is one of those way out there short series thanks to it's four episodes with each episode only being a few minutes long each. They are really meant to get you interested in the game that they are marketing towards more than making a coherent and strong story. First released on the Infinite Space web page however it has been subbed and released on YouTube and you can find most of the episodes there. Occasionally they'll take down an episode but most of the time all four episodes are there if you want to check it out. As a marketing tool for the just released in Japan Nintendo DS game by the same title it's a pretty interesting concept even if the episodes really don't mesh up all that well to tell a complete story.
The game does look interesting though and I never would have thought about it if I hadn't had to go looking for information on the anime series so I think the marketing paid off in that aspect. The game will be released state side soon not to sure about the anime though maybe they'll bundle a DVD with the game. Almost makes me want to get a DS and the game because it looks so interesting with the whole design your own ship and all that jazz. Anyways here is the first episode that I found on YouTube so that you can check it out as well if you haven't, just don't expect much.
