Finally! One of them is at space! There was a lot of tease but that just made it more spectacular. Epic episode, including the Akihiko Hoshide scene (That he really dubbed from space) :D

I hope Mutta can also go soon, it would be awesome if they both go on the same mission someday.

So I guess that's Akihiko Hoshide voicing his character from space, isn't it?

Hoshide's seiyuu was Hoshide himself, right?

It's over. Another anime ruined by filler. I enjoy still frames with one sentence of dialogue every 2 minutes as much as everyone else, but I don't see it getting any better.

8/10 up until the last 5 episodes.

I found it a bit strange, having teenage Mutta talk in thirty-year-old Mutta´s voice. Apart from that, it was a terrific episode.

The pace is intentionally slow to highlight Mutta's feelings as he watched his little brother make it to space. The realisation of his dream.
When Mutta is still stuck on that old-slow and heavy earth, Hibito he flies fast and high toward his dream... Their dream.

that was pretty awesome, Living in Florida we hear about the space program all the time, Just a couple weeks ago Hoshide did some thing like that for the Kennedy Space Center where he talked live with people while he was on the ISS.
It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die.

I just can't express how much I came to love this show. From the first strangely average episodes and then... it just sky-rocketed. This show gives some seriously emotional moments.

Of course, 5/5.

What a great episode! I had chills ... especially during the liftoff! :O The music, the reactions, that huge BLAST that went by Mutta ... wow. Then when everything started floating and they were releasing the pieces of the rocket ... so awesome! :O
Haha, Hibito was so excited to ask questions XD LOL and Mutta was dragged into it :P Well in any case I'm kinda glad he did ... and he was still so focused even when Mutta didn't really want to do it anymore. Now he's really there! :O No "spacesickness" huh? :P I guess it's not something everyone gets? Or he's just the rare one that doesn't experience it I guess :P
Lol I wouldn't have guessed that the old guy was a flight instructor :P Come on Mutta! You want to meet him again ... don't you? :P
I have no idea why hot dogs are called hot dogs ... but I DID know what he was going to say with regards to the sky and life! Ha! XD
Looks like we see more of Azuma next episode ... now this will be interesting! :O

I haven't watched this is ages but it truly is a great show. I like the way they don't use cliffhangers but ultimately that was the reason why I put this on-hold for a while. I'll probably catch up with this soon.
I'm looking forward to the next episode, I wonder how "Azu-Azu" and Mutta will interact.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

The pacing doesn't seem that bad, even though there wasn't much happening. This would be a very emotional period for both Mutta and Hibito, so spending some time on their feelings is justified.

Did anyone else catch the Capcom name plate? I don't see any comments about it.

It was a pretty good episode. I liked the preview. Hopefully they'll flesh out Azuma's character better this time around.

5 years of training, buddy. If you can't handle the pace, drop it. I doubt he'll be in space by the end of the series.

Somehow, I had a mix of feelings when I see the rocket launched. It's rare that I feel this way for an episode of an anime; this series really make me feel things I rarely feel in/for an anime...

Oh and the animation for the launching was awesome~

Episode 31 - Rocket Road:

Hibito was totally decided to become an astronaut for twenty years! and Mutta give up, until recently.

Capcom was present on the central command room.

Deneil Young is a chief pilot instructor and the one that taught Hibito how to fly a jet, and yet Mutta treat Deneil like a simple old man.

"By the way Mutta... Do you know the biggest difference betwen life and the sky?... The sky doesn't belong to anyone. Your life belongs to you. You can control your own life." (Deneil Young)

"Ike. Ike. Ike." (Mutta)

"I finally made it..." (Hibito)

Amazing episode. Like every second is fucking great. And wow that guy in space was voiced by an actual astronaut in space?! Amazing. Idk why some of you were hating on this episode. It has been one of the best so far.

damn this episode felt to me like a movie, it had the climax at the start and the suspension at the end.

i knew that guy wouldn't just be some old man.
