Nasuda's face in the photo op in the beginning was awesome lol

Sassy Jennifer is sassy.

I love all the moments of Hibito in space;
so fun to see the crew show off for the camera.

Cool to see more about Azuma + family and his feelings on Hibito's success.

Spectacular episode as usual.

Great story development with Azuma.

We're seeing the relationship and history between Azuma/Brian Jay (deceased)/Hibito coming together. That's awesome!

Looking forward to the next episode!

Man this anime sure doesn't dissapoint. I love it soo much! I wish this anime could go on for 300+ episodes...

As always, these episodes go by so quickly.

I knew Azuma was a great guy but this episode made me respect him that much more.

Love Mutta's face when he's "playing" with Azuma's kid, he just can't help showing an expression of dissatisfaction :P

Great episode, looking forward to the next :)

Yes, Azuma was great - but it was clear that he's the nice guy.

But once more Director Nasuda steals the show with his "deep thoughts about future"

Ever since it was first mentioned that Azuma doesn't like Hibito because he will be on the moon first I've thought that's completely wrong, and that Azumams actually opinion of Hibito would be completely different, turns out that was the case.

Hibito creates two new fads? Yeah!

I love Azuma. I knew from the beginning he probably had no ill feelings at Hibito or anything. And I love this episode. Shows how great he is.

LOL at the game." What kind of game is this?"

Hibito's funny. He didn't realize the camera was rolling. XD

Yeah, i expected that Azuma isnt bad kind of character =) Hibito wouldnt respect him so much if he was.Giving his smile only to family, respecting Bryan,Hibito and Mutta, really a great person.
Lol at Hibito and camera xD and that Mutta rotating ''earth'' lmao.

5/5 damn, this anime is just so amazing and underrated.

Woooooo some episodes ago, I was asking for a bit of Azuma background. Wish fulfilled! Also clears up why and how Hibito was chosen as the first Japanese astronaut to land on the moon. So slow but my love for it hasn't dropped at all since the first ep. Keep 'em coming :)

This is one of those shows that makes me feel like I tear up too easily. But seeing how much Azuma cared about his family and space really got to me. Especially knowing how people see him as someone to be afraid of when the opposite should be true. He's got a lot of heart to him and I love how he thought about those who cared about him. :)

Nothing in particular to say about this episode that hasn't already been mentioned by fellow Uchuu viewers. Episode was great--just like all of them thus far--and I don't have a doubt in my mind that this anime will crack my top 8, maybe even top 5!

PS I like the dance everyone does in the 2nd intro song...I find myself doing it every now and then :P

Another really interesting episode. Love getting the background on Azuma - having to talk to the press all day sure would be hard :S Especially since he's not that type of person anyway. Good for Brian to see that ... I guess it worked out? :O
Lots of funny moments like AZU-AZU (OMG LOL) and Nasuda breaking the fourth wall XD Also the "tour" Hibito gave us on the spacecraft ... introducing everyone. The shots of the moon and Earth were really awesome, especially since the moon was bigger! Just goes to show how close they are ...
Looks like they land next episode! So exciting! :D Love the last shot of Hibito jumping around on the moon lol XD

I regret not having watched this in a while, this was an amazing episode.
Azuma is a tough person, hopefully he and Mutta will become friends.

I love it.
He didn't make the decision, but he might as well have. Brian did it for him.
Journalists can be awesome people, but they can also be insensitive morons who have no understanding of their subjects.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

So we finally get the background on Azuma. His character makes more sense now. It's funny how everyone around him places words in his mouth, claiming he's embittered toward Hibito when that's the furthest thing from the truth. Stuff like that certainly happens, though.

Seeing Hibito in space was pretty entertaining.

And LOL i can totally understand what Brian meant about Hibito's soul being already in zero gravity. He exudes that sort of feeling of freedom

Interesting episode, glad to find out more about Azuma's past. He seems like a brilliant guy and a hard worker but I guess he wasn't cut out for the spotlight. I don't blame him really, the press and media can be really aggressive and overbearing. :( :(

Episode 32 - A Private Place:

The Ces-51 Team members look great, Karen Jones and Linda Cliff the women of the team, Damian Kweller the one that checks Altair, the captain Freddy Saturn he sure like the camera and looks very diligent, and there is Buddy Waters who took off his shirt to show off.

Azuma backstory is really good, and so Muta assumption we're partially correct, he was having to much pressure from Japanese media.

"Your father's older brother's wife's younger brother?" (Journalist to Azuma)

"...Maybe we'd get close if I have him a nickname. Like Azu-Azu. That won't work... He'd kill me. Forget it." (Mutta about Azuma)

"I'll be busy once i get back to Japan. There will be TV appearances related to Hibiko, as well as newspapers, magazine, internet, and radio events. They might even make an anime. I should buy a new tie.." (Director Nasuda)

mutta succeeding in breaks the wall around azuma, really like it.

i'm really pleasure with how they developed azuma character, really great addition to the series.
