| This episode was a great representation of how I feel about this series. I like it, I don't know why I like it or why I even care about the next episode, but I'm pretty excited for the next episode. Each week, I kinda wait a bit after I download this to watch it, unlike my other shows where I'll usually watch immediately after I download, because I'm thinking, "meh, I won't like this". And then I watch it and I'm enjoying it. I don't even know. This was a good episode, but I'm waiting for Mutta to get back so he can go be an astronaut with the girl (forgot her damned name) and bring in some romance. As was stated previously, I don't think he'll get cut, I mean, it's Space Brothers, not Space Brother. |

He'll be accepted one way or another. |

| That was a nice ep. Didn't like it as much as some of the earlier episodes but it was still nice and I can see where it's going. I'm pretty sure Mutta read through most or the entire training manual while Hibito was out. I don't think Mutta would've wasted an entire day just being stubborn/lazy. I also think the episode was also hinting that Mutta has that something Hibito doesn't. Hibito "has a screw loose", is missing that something, which is apparently his attention to detail. Mutta has that attention to fine detail. It clearly showed it this episode and also that one time during the interview where he noticed the loose screw in the chair and tried screwing it in the entire episode. Pretty sure his attention to fine detail will ensure him to pass the exams and eventually become an astronaut, I mean that's a really good trait to have. Cliffhanger was all like hinting that Mutta is going to be cut, but watch like RIGHT at the start of the next episode, an instructor is going to be like WAIT I LIKE HIM. XD Anyways 4/5. My two cents. :) |

| That was awesomeeee. Love this show. Love Apo. Love Hibito's abs. Love Mutta's facials<3 |
  |
| Apo's adorable! <3 Oh, no, I hope he doesn't get cut, not from a shitty recommendation. That boss had it coming anyway. >.< Maaaan, Hibito's toned! =^^= I really love Mutta and Hibito's relationship. They're always raggin on each other about this and that. They're both cocky in their own way, but the best part is their competition. Can't wait to see them both at the space center tomorrow with all the hands-on training. ^^= |
| Aw deep inside the brother's love each other >~< Overall episode was cute. Sad ending... Hoping that everything will turn around~ |

     |
| Haha all the mistakes Hibito made in english ... samuraiing XD. Overall It was a good episode but is going too slow for me. |
| I love how Mutta is a grammar nazi! <3 |

Mutta is younger than me O_O; That was shown in the first episode + anime is happening in 2025... Are you even watching the freakin' show? |
| Things not looking too good for Mutta. Hope he doesn't get cut. |
 |
| APO !!! Now This dog is my favorite character...love ~ love ~ love ♥ kavai ~  |
 |
| Apo has a hearth on the side, nice detail. Was some sort of introduction imo, previous episodes were better. Next episode seems to be very story-centered, I'm looking forward to it. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| sad not many watching this... ppl just want more moe moe fan service etc... good material they dont like. Hope this show turns into the best anime of 2012. Mutta is best character till now of all present season animes |

| another awesome episode! |
| "Every day that Hibito spent alone, certain that you would join him was a day of missing for him." T___T The scene at the hot dog stand with the old couple was wonderful. I am so happy I read a tweet mentioning this show and decided to pick it up. Even if I feel down, the brothers always manage to give me a smile. :D |
| Lmao I never thought I'd ever see my hometown Houston in an anime. |
 |
| Another amazingly beautiful episode ♥ I love this show so much! :3 Haha wtf that dog XD Apo IS kind of a weird name ... :P I LOVED how Mutta came and instantly saw things about Hibito like the cactus and the curtain ring ahahaha XD Love that kind of thing ;P Mm, I guess Hibito still isn't that good at English XD Mutta is better than him in the end ... that note was SUPER cute though :3 I love their childhood flashbacks. Tricky Mutta ... distracting Hibito with the scenery so you could get ahead! :P I guess you can't do that now ... you have to catch up to him first before passing him! ;P Loved the thing with his thumb ... ah, it IS rather fun to do that huh? Glad he got his inspiration back with that old couple (kind of). What they said about Hibito missing him was SO sweet T_T Y U GIVE ME SO MANY FEELZ D; Hibito noticed him looking at the training manuals too huh ... Well crap, next episode doesn't look too good for Mutta ... the interviewer doesn't like him and his former boss gave them a call wtf D: Noooo, don't give up! Hang in there :( |

| That dog was driving me crazy as well lol |
 |
| Apo was annoying for all of three seconds before becoming hilarious. It didn't take much to win me over. ♥ I feel bad for Hibito. It seems like he misses having Mutta around. It felt a little weird seeing an American suburb in an anime, but that was interesting. Unless it's an expat neighborhood, though, it seems unusual that the neighbors would speak Japanese. Nice episode overall. |

| Well, Mutta has to get through for the sake of the plot, right? Well, maybe the anime will surprise me. Who knows. |
| Seems Mutta's about to be cut D: Let's see if that one fella who did the screw trick comes to his rescue. TripleSRank said: Apo was annoying for all of three seconds before becoming hilarious.

| Sio, everyone in USA speak Japaneesse? Yeah...right. :D APO is best MC. :) |

| Episode 05 - Days of Missing: Well in the English note Hibito left to Mutta he wrote "frideg instead of fridge" so you still have a chance? In the early years Mutta can be ahead of his brother, but the time passed and his brother slowly got to pass ahead of him. and slowly Mutta start to forget his dream about being an astronaut. And so his brother surpased him, and fulfilled his dream, but Mutta was many steps behind him. And the ending part was not very good for Mutta. The reason why everyone in the USA speaks in Japanese must be because Japan does not have much VA to do the English voice in the anime, is the same with others anime. "You're supposed to be my rival. You're no fun now." (Hibito to Mutta) 3/5 |

| I'm loving this show but I feel like I need to talk about the MC here. It's fine as a kid or teen to be all like "Big brother is better" but as an Adult, Mutta really needs to grow out of this. Going to the moon/mars, being an astronaut really, for him is about his brother Hibito. He sees becoming an astronaut as finally living up to the whole "big brother is better" thing. It should be about him achieving his goals and not that. I'm hoping that he goes through some character development and finally realizes that his brother shouldn't matter. They're both equal and there's no need for a 31 year old man to be competing with his brother who reaches moon/mars first. Well just my thoughts anyway, on to the next episode. Just wanna say in the end, if Mutta doesn't change his views, I'll be a tad bit disappointed in this show. edit: I have to say that Hibito's English wasn't anywhere near good for somewhere like NASA but I guess that's not really something you're supposed to think about. Although I think they ended up showing that Mutta had better English, so maybe it was intentional? |

| The only opinion that should matter to you is yours. |
| That ending sure was a bit sad, but on the other side expected in a way! Let's see what's next though. |
 |
| Apo is adorable! He should be more serious about his rivalry. |
 |
| apu is the the new best character. loved the relationship of mutta and hibito, i wish i would have that kind of relationship with my brothers. damn, what an ending, though i kinda know it's only teasing. |
