| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Growing up on the moon makes your body grow faster, but not stronger :/ Filler episode, kind of but still good. |
 |
| I liked it, very warm hearted, a sweet story for an optimistic Lunarian. In this kind of series, I don't think you can really call that a filler. It progressed the plot, or at least the characters enough to probably make an impact later on. I consider something a filler only when everything is exactly the same in the end as it was in the beginning of the episode (aside from not being in the original manga storyline). |
 |
| Wow.. that was one hell of an episode. The scene with Nono and Hachi on the surface of the moon, with his monologue, was really really touching. And, I also, cannot see how you could possibly call this filler. Hachi experiences character development, and Tanabe may feel something for him. Sounds like progress to me. |

| That was good episode, didn't seem like filler to me, i hope this series keeps progressing, it gets better every episode. |
| lol, "doubt" IT'S CALLED BS!! |

| I wouldn't consider this a filler, cause there is a continuation in the history plot, with the thing in the hospital, and character development from Hachi and Tanabe. Besides isn't that Nono that appears in the Opening? maybe she will take a major roel in the future... nonetheless quite good episode, i'm really enjoying this series |
| A very good episode, and more in line with the manga in terms of quality. I was getting ready to drop it after the first six, but this give me hope that the show is going to get better. |
 |
| Such a great episode *u* That last scene with Nono and Hachimaki made my heart melt :P |

| This was the best episode so far for me. Nice character interactions. |
watkinzez said: Finally. An episode that is neither preachy nor contrived, exploring a consequence of the space age without the heavy-handedness plaguing the series up to this point. I was beginning to question the tastes of the people who recommended it to me. QFT |
| Nono-chan is too much adorable. She's so pure, so gentle... My heart melt, too. |
| Hachi trying out the old man's exercise gripper Low gravity disorder a little drama but everything else is good |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Pretty good ep. Almost makes me forget the last few eps. It still tries to deliver the meaning and beauty of life and this time it actually works. |
| that was so cool. It's like the history of settling the earth, no matter where people went, they became natives of that place and it became their home. It's so cool to think that people might someday feel that way about the moon or other planets here's hoping we don't blow ourselves up or anything before that happens :P |

Finally picked this series back up and plan on actually finishing it and, you know what? I totally one hundred percent agree with my opinion from 2 years ago. Great freaking episode and I hope the series keeps this up as it has been lacking up until this episode. |

| Man, the romance of space is something we just dont get enough of now. This SoL is not so much Slice of Life, but Space of Life!!! *boom tish* Nono-chan the Lunarian was heart warming like a chapter of Yotsuba! |
 |
| I just can't feel this series |
| Oh my This episode was great |

Great freaking episode and I hope the series keeps this up as it has been lacking up until this episode. this episode sheds light on the show from my perspective; i was beginning to think that what i saw for the first six episodes would be consistent with the rest of the season, so i'm VERY glad for episode 7. best episode as of yet. |
matmetal said: I just can't feel this series Yeah, for some reason, me neither. |
| That ending was a feel good scene. The music really brought out the best of it. :3 |
 |
| Beautiful music this episode especially towards the end there. |
 |
| Interesting episode especially that ending, makes you think about how life is supported on different planets with different gravity environments. Either way nice episode, lets see what's next but lol that Nono-chan is only 12 was quite surprising :p |
 |
| So . . . They still haven't found a way to stop the radiation? Then who the hell would want to work in space, knowing that it's like standing underneath an x-ray 24/7 (Sure they are different wave types but you get the point) . . . |
 |
| I'm sorry but besides everything else I really enjoyed the background music at the end :D |
 |
| Hachi and I had the same reaction: She's 12?!! Haha. Kind of sad she'll probably never get to see Earth with that frail body :( Tanabe got jealous when she saw Hachi with Nono :D |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| This episode really made me think.. what is low gravity sex like? It must be the must boring thing ever. Frail bodies cannot stand the hard pounding and it would all be slow-mo with little friction. Glad I'm here on earth, spacenoids are truly cursed.. XD |
| *slow clap* This episode is a lot better just because Tanabe had little screentime. Fuck that bitch. |
 |
| "I have the weirdest pedo boner right now" - Hachimaki To me this was the best episode so far. |
| Masssssive improvement from the last episode lol Too bad Nono is a trap. Could have stirred up some drama. |
| Wow! That story quality improvement! And Kuroishi Hitomi song <3 (yes, because her songs I discovered this anime) 5/5 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| OH MY JUDAS WOW FINALLY! I had a feeling right at the end of episode 6 that episode 7 would be the pace changer. The preview for ep7 looked entirely different from the previous eps. Oh my Satan Oh.......is this not Slice of Life? This IS, isn't it? Well even if it wasn't, I am unable to view this as a "filler." You'd be a retard to think so. We were able to learn more about the personalities of the characters, and I'm finally starting to get attached. Hachi's attachment to Nono (HOW SWEEEEEEET), Tanabe's (finally I remembered her name) jealousy for Hachi, two things that were very nice to know. Shows you that Hachi is really also a sweet kid inside. Although it was rather obvious that Nono was a child (at least for people with basic knowledge of space and gravitational physics). Even if you didn't know that people who grow up in 0.1654 g's would theoretically be taller because their weight would push them down, Nono's voice gave it all away. Not just her damn voice wtf; even her personality and maybe we could even include her chest? Lol. But Pauldamn was that a finally decent episode. I love how Planetes knows how to do things in a realistically subtle manner like showing Hachimaki ACTUALLY SMOKE, his quiet remarks such as after he ate the apple, Fee talking about how hard his head was after she left the room, and a lot more stuff from previous eps. Aha I can see what you're doing, Sunrise. Zeally said: Too bad Nono is a trap. Could have stirred up some drama. Is that for real? Seriously dude what the FUCK is wrong with you If that's TRUE, then that's a spoiler, and if it's a spoiler, you should have put it in spoiler tags you asshole. AH GODDAMNIT |

| The music at the end... damn. The overall direction and production of the series is phenomenal. There's so much subtle expression even in animating the giant clunky space suits, I'm genuinely impressed with the visuals. The imagery of the ocean was really well executed. |

| Easily the best episode of the series so far. |
| Best one so far |
| That was pretty depressing :| The old man dying and the impossible dream of that girl, doomed to live and die in that place. At the same time, you could say that we, human in our modern days, are stuck on Earth the same way she's stuck on moon. We're not that much different. The old man suicide was pretty sad, but at least, he didn't die fighting pointlessly against a disease he can't win over. He died where he wanted to and the way he wanted to. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Amazing episode, nothing to say, perfect ! |
| Hachimaki is destined to spend the whole time of his moon-vacation recovering in the hospital. At least he makes friends with Nono. She is a lunarian, which means she was born and raised on the moon. Only four of her kind seem to exist. Because she has low gravity disorder she will never be able to visit earth, because her body couldn't stand the gravity. However her body seems to grow faster. She is only 12 yet as big as Hachimaki. Then there was this guy who wanted to commit suicide in space because he suffered from Leukemia. Could Fee and Hachi retrieve him to the hospital in time? I don't know. |
I have written my own Ecchi short story. It is called Nopan Mahou Shoujo! You can find the PDF here or read it online on Wattpad or on Archive of Our Own. |
| This episode is very educational. Damn radiation on space. Lunarian?? Are they really exist in real life? Thats why Nono voice is loli huh? Tanabe got a feelings on Hachi! What a beautiful background music! Sung by Kuroishi Hitomi? Its on par with Kalafina! Gotta download that song now! 4.3/5 |
 |
| Well, to me this was the best episode so far, it was really warm hearted. |
 |
| Love this show so much and this is the episode that made me love it. Seeing the harsh consequence but equally strong desire to do it anyway is such a human thing and I love this episode for capturing that emotion and feeling. So many of us do what we want and keep doing it even though it will hurt us. Sometimes it's as simple as eating fried food when we know we shouldn't other times it's as profound as life. We keep going because the bad is what makes the good so sweet. We've always had explorers, we've always had adventurers and they always know there are real consequences. This episode captures that feeling so well, the optimistic side in Nono, and the pessimistic side. I'm so glad this episode set the tone going forward as it's incredible, and the show is better for building on these themes. Also Lunarians are an awesome thought experiment and some day reality and it's going to have real emotional and political consequences and it's one of my favorite sci-fi concepts. Dating all the way back to Asimov. Both allegory and future issue. Just so much depth there. |
| much better episode than the last couple |
