It was kind of... >> But I admit it looks real fun doing whatever you want in 1/6th gravity.

The ninjas were funny tbh. seeing them all in the hospital after jumping from such a height is kind of obvious, but funny anyway, not even 1/6 gravity can prevent you from getting a couple broken bones :)

I love how your avatar is hanging himself. :D

This was quite weird episode. I thought Planetes was quite serious anime and not comedy like this?

This episode was not bad, but I really wasn't expecting this to be a comedy show. I started this show looking forward to drama and romance. I'll keep watching though (drama will probably or hopefully show up later)...also this show is nowhere near bad enough for me to drop.

The biggest problem with this episode is that it was pure comedy relief at a point in the series where it hadn't become dramatic enough to need any comic relief. Perhaps another 10 or so episodes in the episode might have worked better but as the sixth episode it was just pointless and stupid.

OMG, that's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Especially when Hachi's friend mentioned to the one girl that Ai has really calmed him down, and then Hachi and all those ninjas ran right in front of all of them. I love this series so much.

I actually enjoyed this more the second time around, but It still REALLY sticks out like a sore thumb. But, really, up to this episode the series has been fairly mediocre but at least it wasn't outlandish, which isn't something that fits the tone of this series btw, up to this point.

NINJA'S IN SPACE!

Haha! I thought this was pretty funny!

I wonder if some people were disappointed because they'd heard this was an /a/ favourite and so came expecting the best anime they'd ever see, and found it wasn't to their taste, because there is no one anime that everyone will find amazing. Art just doesnt work that way.

Just watched this last night, I think when I rewatch it with the wife, i'll basically skip this episode and sum it up: Hachimaki breaks his foot, that's all you need to know.

Though I think the "ninjas" return later..? So maybe I should grit my teeth and bear it?

I thought i'd stepped back in time to the 80's for a bit there.

Meh. I still don't like the humour of this series. Maybe it's a cultural thing. I'm thinking that this is yet another example of anime that delivers a satisfying ending and therefore is rated much higher than it deserves.

I'm actually quite shocked that people didn't like this episode/the anime up till now.

I'm enjoying this series a lot. I really like the characters and it's entertaining to watch. I guess people were expecting something else.
