Apo being afraid of the statue, too cute. xD; And aww, speaking of unnecessary stress, Mutta's reaction to the news that some people end up quitting was about as expected. No wonder the two get along. Although there was that handy reminder that things aren't just going to be smooth sailing by that end.

Next episode: "Always have a pedometer in your heart." I am actually glad I don't; otherwise, every time I logged in to MAL I would get a heart attack.

In other news, wearing a sari to a bar. Thumbs up, I guess. Still does not beat jumpsuit at the airport.

I'm counting on Mutta to win over the glasses guy.

Also, really love Amanti :) I'm Indian, and I always love seeing Indian characters in anime, especially when they are portrayed as beautiful like Amanti (especially since she is actually dark-skinned, not the basically white actresses that you see in Bollywood. Fair skin is so over-hyped in India, that you can only be beautiful if your skin is light, and I'm happy anime didn't fall for that farce). Although, I'm a little annoyed at the fortune-telling stereotype >__< And also, she is NOT wearing a sari, that's just some cloth draped over a tank top lol. If they're going to use Indian cultural clothes, please use them correctly xD No one wears a sari to a bar either lol.


I felt the same way. It's weird how in this show they had Amanti wear a sari while the Japanese aren't wearing kimonos.

Ah, pretty relaxing episode huh? Get to see Murasaki some more ... love his "Ninja" nickname lol :P Kinda sad to see people will still be dropping out but yeah, I guess sometimes you realize you just can't do it ... or you have a dick instructor who will cause you to think so :P
Amanti huh ... interesting! I wonder what she saw in Mutta's fortune? :O Hope nothing happens to him ...
I'm also interested in Nitta more now ... gave us a couple of clues with his house and having a younger brother, but I'm guessing they're not terribly close or maybe he's adopted or something? Hmm ...
Looks like the training will start next episode! Walking out in the desert? :O Sounds rough ... plus they're pushing to complete 2 years in 1 and a half, which is good for the plot I suppose! :P

It is disappointing that a great show such as this, which revolves around science and space travel, has to resort to stupid shit like foretelling the future. It is a believe rooted in superstition and is in deep contrast with the logic and reason otherwise portrayed in this anime.

I love this series, not only for the Space/science elements, but for the amazing characters (esp Mutta<3) so I really enjoyed this episode.

That last arc on the moon with Hibito's near death moments, I'm welcoming some laid back episodes lol

Looking forward to where their training takes them next!

I don't trust Amanti, she probably wants to make Mutta fail... I just don't trust her.
I wonder how Mutta will endure the training, he will probably do something interesting.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

Ohhh, it that so? I find that really interesting, since it's nearly the opposite here in America: Having darker skin is considered very desirable; in fact, there's a good tanning industry here because of that.

I do like that she was portrayed as beautiful. This anime in general gives women more dignity than most.

Haha, Mutta's main weak spot has been hit- superstition. I do think Amanti was right about Nitta's brother, though.

So many new characters to meet!! They're all speaking Japanese in the show but I assume they're really "speaking" English all the time...

I always love how observant Mutta is. Immediately realized something was wrong with her reaction after telling him his future.

As an Indian I agree. I face palmed hard when they introduced this weird Indian astronaut. Ind the first place Indian will not wear a sari to a bar plus the depiction is wrong on so many levels.

Foreshadowing is a part of anime and I love it when it is subtle and plays out in the end. but this blatant foreshadowing is just pointless.

India = superstition wow. -_-
We might promote our traditional clothes in international events but I highly doubt they are worn on formal occasions like this. As an anime whose roots lie in science this was a bad episode according to me.
I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons,
if you were you wouldn't be on MAL.

Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce.

Episode 47 - The First Promise:

Amanti seemed disturbed when was telling Mutta his future, I hope that is nothing serious.

"Your English is terrific, Komachi." (Ena) "I know" (Komachi) "You speak like a native." (Serika) "I used to live in California. So I've got a Californian accent. Let me know if you need help." (Komachi)

Sure she does... yet the VA can't talk english.

"Damn it... He got me again!" (Mutta about Murasaki joke)

Murasaki just said the true, "we the astronauts are actors".

Since it's was created by the nazis, the NASA (not an space agency) is a BIG CIRCUS, which controls all the info about the space in the world. Lies and more lies, they laught in our faces.
