| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yes Serika!! I'm glad she discovered it. >___< On another note, a box load of flight manuals... ah, looks difficult. |
| I'm glad they found out about Sharon's disease quickly. Many shows tend to unnecessarily drag this. |
| Liking that it's mostly accurate, but since I live in Houston I have to point out. 1. The ave yearly temp in Houston is 80 degrees, & it's humid. No one would wears long sleeves here. 2. Space Center Houston uniforms are replica blue astronaut jumpsuits. 3. They use paper cups at Space Center Houston.... not glass. 4. That pizza place is in Nassau Bay.... across the street from JSC. There are other buildings around it. Lack of proper landscape. I could go on but I'll hold off for now. |
| What are you doing with my feels Space Bros!? That scene when she was walking with the drinks.... You just knew something was gonna happen : / Only question is was that Sharon screamng after or the kids? |
| Great episode yet again. I am also glad they didn't drag out Sharon's illness. 5/5 |
| I glad they noticed this so quickly! I glad Serika is the one noticed it! I'm looking forward for next episode! |

I think surprisingly I have found a show that relies on luck more than One Piece.Well this condition doesn't seem so rare now does it? The scene with the kids and Sharon spilling her drinks was hard to watch just because you could feel that something was going to happen. You could just tell, same with the glass on the plane and the handshake. Though I am glad that she discovered, I too am glad they didn't drag it. And isn't the cure for that have to do with space or something like that? That's why Serika wanted to be an astronaut, to cure the ilness her father had? So if they find that they caught it early, then it's possible for Serika to go to space to find the cure to help her. Add that with Mutta wanting to build that telescope for her then you have the setup that they need. Helping a dying astronomer live and see her dream while proving to the world that going out into space is needed. |

EratiK said: Well maybe I don't understand dramatization completey but wouldn't that be like dramatizing a scene, like the slow motionness of her fall and seeing them get closer and closer to bumping into her? While I'm talking about the lucky breaks they always seem to find when Mutta notices the clok on the bus, or wakes up in the middle of the night to see someone breaking the clock, or after just having dropped a glass having a couple of kids knock into her, each problem in the show happens right after the other no time for break,etc. And I know it's been there the whole time, I just realized now that it might do it more than One Piece collectively or more concentratedly and I've always thought that One Piece did it a lot..Oh man, that Serika twist.

| Yes, dramatization is for scenes, but also for plot, like if I'm the writer and I have a sick character, I could either just tell the audience in a dialogue or show it by making the character trip and such. And in Space Bros they often choose the most dramatic option (another meaning of dramatization: make more dramatic). |

| I think so, yes. Really, it's typical of dramas/telenovelas/dorama; in a way that's what makes Space Bros so good. |
|
| I agree, it really reminds me of real tv shows. But I guess that's part of what makes it so good, using the animation medium to show a mostly realistic story. It doesnt' have the same restrictions a real tv show would have. |

| OMG Sharon has the same disease as Serika's father. I knew that doctor couldn't find it. Please Serika save her T_____T |
| such a dramatic episode. im kinda glad serika discovered even tho i expected it to be MS. |
| One of Serika goal is find medicine for disease on which father died, right? |
| |
LittleStar said: Yup and I believe the only way to find that cure is to experiment in space. Think it might be about the final goal of the story? Serika saving her and Mutta making her telescope.One of Serika goal is find medicine for disease on which father died, right? |

| I don't think we're talking about MS here since that is uncommon, rather than rare as a disease. (She's also a little older than the typical age at which it first presents.) It's more likely to be a nastier degenerative neurological disease similar to ALS. The arm tap test Serika did is somewhat like a physical test done during a neurological exam. (Note: my doctorate isn't medical so don't give this diagnosis too much weight.) I think this also indicates that even relatively minor points in the characters' back stories may reappear in UK so considering Hibito's and Mutta's encounter I'm fully expecting space aliens at some point. (Just so long as they don't have big breasts and cat ears...) |

Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| I already feel like crying by the end of this episode, I love Sharon so much and thinking what Mutta, Hibito and also Serika has to go through... :( And, just at the worst moment, when Mutta has a test in 3 days... >< |
| I'm torn. I love this show, but at 1st I was mad cause the pace was so slow to say the least. Now I actually want them to draw out the stories more. Nitta's brother. Pico. Sharon. That said. no no noooooooo. Not Sharon. The same disease. Didn't it take a year or so for her dad to die once her was bed ridden/permanent hospital admittance? |
| Something like that. It's not like Hollywood disease so a good proportion of people filing right-to-die lawsuits are ALS sufferers. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Wow, that's a great twist. |
| Good thing the disease was diagnosed early. Yey Serika! I hope this won't turn into a tragedy. -__- |

| This episode kinda confirmed that it's the early stages of ALS. It's a pretty drawn-out disease and ends with respiratory functions shutting down. Next episode is gonna be a merciless tearjerker |
| Check out my eurobeat guide. Who knows, you might find yourself a new favourite genre! http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=738669 |
| It's first episode in a while that drag out so much. |
| too many feels, auntie sharon please be well ;____; i don't want her to die. |
| ohohoho~~ |

 |
| Damn. So, it's the same disease that Serika's father had. That's too bad. =( Let's hope Sharon hangs on in time for Mutta to reach the moon and Serika to come up with a cure. How long did Serika's father have the disease before he died? |
| Aw man, poor Sharon. Poor Serika as well, not only losing her father, but a possible chance of losing someone she's looked up to since childhood. Now the question remains how long has she been sick with this and how much time does she have. Serika needs to go to space to find a cure quick! or perhaps, the telescope and the cure will be like a way for them to honor her or like a "parting" gift. If they don't make it in time. |
Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| My feelings are not ready for what's coming in the next few weeks. P.S.:I hope this Sharon arc could build Mutta's & Serika's realtionship.I want some more fuel for my MuttaXSerika ship (hope I didn't piss anyone off). |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| no aunt Sharon :________: |
| Woah, what extraordinary luck with Serika there. I do hope that detecting it now means something can be done rather than it allowing for only their goodbyes. D: |

Wasn't this her driving force to become an astronaut to cure he father illness. |
| i am so glad the recaps are done with and i wold like to hope that this series will just continue on and on and on. :3 because that would be great. :D i love this show more and more with every episode. i am beyond relieved that nothing serious is going to happen to a character that i actually care about. still i know it'll be heartbreaking to watch mutta's sad facial expressions. XP it was definitely the right thing for amanti to do and tell mutta. the scene with the glass drinks was intense and like most everyne has mentioned hard to watch. :\ poor bitch. |
Ziljun said: This episode kinda confirmed that it's the early stages of ALS. It's a pretty drawn-out disease and ends with respiratory functions shutting down. Next episode is gonna be a merciless tearjerker Yeah, pretty much. ALS is that type of disease that is progressive. No one knows what the cause of it is, be it infection or whatnot. And yeah, it was already hinted in the previous episode, but the finger tapping test pretty much confirmed it. Depending on how the disease has progressed in Sharon, she'll have single-digit years to live. *sigh* man, ALS happens to the best of people, the first diagnosed IRL being Lou Gehrig (hence why they sometimes call it that). Sharon is such a great character too. And Amanti did foreshadow what's to come so...brace yourselves ladies and gentlemen. ;__; |
 |
| Damn... another great episode. I hope there is nothing happen with Sharon. :( |

Mormegil said: dietmango said: Depending on how the disease has progressed in Sharon, she'll have single-digit years to live. I guess that won't be enough time for Serika to find a cure then. =( It pains me to say, but most likely not. And to add to that, they have mentioned that the International Space Station will be out of service and will eventually crash down, burn up in the Earth's atmosphere around 2027 (the show right now is at 2026 I believe). So by the time Serika makes it to space, the ISS will no longer be there. And even with the possibility of a higher chance of finding cures, how long will it actually take? Will there actually be a cure? It sucks, I know. :'( |
|
| Oh gosh ... poor Sharon! D: I'm glad Serika found out and told her to go to the hospital again but man, must be tough seeing the same thing she did with her dad ... >_< It doesn't look very good for her ... Studying for 3 days how to fly a plane and then a test?! That's crazy! O_O Plus lol @ Hibito's entrance into the restaurant XD Glad to see he's feeling better though ... Oh crap seriously, it doesn't look like there's been a cure yet since that's what Serika wants to do ... not to mention it's a pretty rare disease. Hope everything turns out okay D: |
| Is this some kind of disease that strikes only people involved with space ? LOL |
 |
UnbornMVs said: Is this some kind of disease that strikes only people involved with space ? LOL Serika's dad had nothing to do with space whatsoever, he was a biologist. |
 |
UnbornMVs said: Is this some kind of disease that strikes only people involved with space ? LOL It can pretty much strike anyone at any given time. Nobody knows the real cause of ALS at this point, whether it's caused by infection via virus, genetics, or whatever. It just happens, and once you get it, you are helpless to even stop it from progressing. Well, unless you're Stephen Hawking, that is. |
|
| Damn it, the death flags... Poor Serika as well. She meets her idol and this is the first conversation she's had with her and it turned out to be like this. |
 |
| I wasn't quite expecting it to be the same disease Serika's father had, but it fits the tone of the series. I feel bad for Sharon and Serika. :/ |
