Quick review with big super spoil !!

- at the beginning the story evolved quite fast and you'll think "wow 99ep , it's gonna be a wonderful adventure who will end on Mars ... or the Moon at least ... very far from the control room... SIC

- after a very good start, one of the most promising, around ep 21, you'll start to think, " there's way to much the same flashback " but it's ok !
and the story start to spend to much time on support characters, and then more boring drama on support character, if fact you start to ... wonder is the Mutta is the main character of the show and it getting worst and worst. like it getting stuck in mud and literally go nowhere !!! but you keep hope , thinking , it's ok still have 40ep to watch , something satisfying will happened and after all those selection and training and drama, the main story will lead to MARS voyage ... and not voyage with mars1 rocket ... :(

- this show lost it self into disgression and forgot the progression of the main story.
- the possible love relation is a shame , I dunno if we can even mention it, 99 ep and they barely speak each other and touch hand one time.
- I don't remember any show who overuse that much the flashback and use "untold the result of a test" for drama . Later, you'll have a flashback to tell you who won the selection, sometime you don't even know if you are in flashback or in current time.
this 99ep show can fit in 24ep easily in fact it would be much better because so many ep are just there for feeling time.

I had to write my review on this anime because I felt this will go nowhere ! spend many ep on story you don't care and forgot the core and pitch of the 10 first ep
my notation went from a solid 8 to a nice 5 ( I say nice because , day after , when i write the review, i think it' a solid 4 ... )
the last 30 ep, I watched with lot of 10sec jump forward, only way to end it, I was thinking , " no , they'll not do that ?! 99 ep for that !? and even at ep 98, they spend time of support character ... the show will end on next ep and there's no chance to see mutta in space !!! can't believe they'll doing this. this not just unsatisfying, this doesn't fit with core of the story ...

> showing all training, hope , progression , 100x the flashback of the 2 brothers who dream to go to the moon etc ... at the end one in control room and other in an other project ( they could have dev the story of the private nippon space project, asteroid etc ... no no no , the aunt sld or the PD trauma were much better for a space show ... can't Believe the waist of good material with a shitty ending ! it's in my top 3 of shitty ending , so bad it ruins the global perception of the all show
not even a OAV or movie to see mutta in space, or asteroid trip ... it really felt the show was cancelled by surprise, after spending 99 to build a background, it miss all the main story ! not showing mutta flying to space in 99 ep show is a fatal error. he didn't failed the selection , he'll have his moon trip but it's not important to show this ?! it was much better to spend 20 ep on the aunt disease in a show name the space brother ?!

lol, i just realized it worst than i taught , I'll change my notation from 5 TO 3 !!!

now, I understand why mutta wearing only half of a space suit on the picture ... you'll see half of the space show
