Ahhh, so conservation of detail does win out! Hahaha. They definitely tricked me there.

I'm glad they spent some time on Teshima. It's nice to see him following his actual dream, and getting out from under the oppression his father was placing on him. Seeing the reason Serika writes her diary was an excellent touch as well. She's a fairly lighthearted person, but it's little things like this that add depth to a character.

The scene in the dog park was particularly well done. The humor was nice, but the interesting part was the reversal of positions: Before, Hibito was a world ahead of Mutta; Hibito had all of the confidence; Apo stood by Hibito's side; the scene was shown at the beginning of the episode; and Hibito was the one to respond with "Yes!". Now, Mutta has caught up; Mutta has all of the confidence; Apo stands by Mutta's side; the scene is shown at the end of the episode; and Mutta is the one to respond with "Yes!". It marks a change in Mutta's life, and in his relationship with his brother. Brilliant.

I must say, this show came highly recommended, and it hasn't disappointed in the slightest. It's a mature story; it's down to earth (oh no!); and it's humor isn't jarring. The pacing is great; the characters are developed well; and the plot hasn't been neglected in the slightest. Given that the art and music are also satisfactory, there's really not anything more I could ask for. This could be a 10/10 show if they keep up what they have going.

Sweet, Kenji passed. I honestly thought Teshima was a really weak character, I had no idea why he was in the exam or how he got so far in. But that was some nice development for him.

I'm not too happy about Kenji being chosen. He has a wife and a lovely daughter. He should cherish them. Fukuda-san is the best example for how chasing a dream can ruin a family. Just my 2cents.

P.S.: I love this show. I'm glad I finally picked it up.

Episode 23 - Father, Son and Mutta Claus:

Yuuri gave Kenji a chance, Yuuri was the best scored of team B and yet he withdraw to fulfill his real dream. Well if he could go so far without wanted to be astronaut from his heart in the Astronaut selection, he then indeed can succeeded in anything he wants.

Why is Serika dancing at the end?

when i saw on the preview keijin daughter crying i thought that was because her father didn't succeeded, but once they say he passed i so laughed about it xD

yuuri annoying me, to aim for space for such fantasy things, and that europa scene were really pointless and out of reality...

wonder what's next.

and i so missed apo!

ke-pa!

So glad that Kenji is coming, and also good that it was resolved quickly. But I do think this series is depending too much on creating tension by withholding information from the viewers while the characters know it. I had forgotten Yuuri's hesitation at the start of the test, but that was good foreshadowing.
