Episode 2 of Infinite Space anime short fansubbed.

Once again, this DATS-translated webisode (ugh) doesn’t make much sense even with subtitles, but at least there’s more action in it than the first short.

With Sega putting out a new Infinite Space video every week now, and the Star Trek film’s release imminent, this Nude Maker-developed title has gotten a lot of buzz from geeks lately. Even as a JRPG version of Star Trek, a flavor many are hoping to taste, Infinite Space seems to capture the sci-fi series’ feel more so than Naked Sky’s licensed XBLA/PSN/PC shooter.

You can build your own starships! Not just customize it with new weapons and technology and what have you, but decide where to drop in the bridge, engineering, and other vital rooms. Battles aren’t fought with two crafts juxtaposed on the screen; you watch your vessel’s shots from inside the bridge, a visible team of subordinates working at their stations to coordinate attacks (those blurry spots are crewmembers, right?):

Infinite Space ships in Japan on June 11th, and is slated to release in the U.S. sometime this year.
