Okay, so even though Hachimaki made up his mind, and really tried to kill Hakim, it didn't happen, but it was enough to drive him crazy, he was pretty much catatonic. He was also finally feeling alone like he wanted, only feeling, because he wasn't, his family was with him, and even those other people who see him as a friend even though he is insufferable were with him too. But talking about his family Kyutaro grew up a lot, he is certainly the handsome brother too. lol

But well, Hachimaki could've died in an accident, and realized that he had been a jerk, and now he is all fine again, just like magic! This feels so stupid that I can't even be mad. And it took a while, but it was nice to have a confirmation of what happened with Tanabe, and Claire, Tanabe remained true to herself, and put her life at risk before taking another's, I hope she can recover, there's only the end now.

It's kinda sad Hachi needed another near-death-experience to resolve his issues.
I hope he won't give up on Jupiter anyway. Ai and him are not cut out for each other.

Hachimaki tried to kill himself so many times now, this was just another one where he tried to die alone on the moon before he got rescued off, and it was just before he was supposed to go to Jupiter soon. At least after so long, he finally seems to genuinely making some progress for the better, as while he travelled back to Japan and after crashing his bike, ending up on the ocean and surviving, he finally realized what Tanabe meant a long time ago about love and how its connected to space.

Tanabe sadly is temporarily paralyzed after she and Claire were stuck on the moon for many hours and ran out of oxygen, suffering from asphyxiation with her nervous system breaking down a bit on her. Luckily its not permanent and there is a chance of full recovery with the right rehab but for now, she's stuck on a wheelchair. At least even she finally got to see Hachimaki smile and realize what she was trying to speak out to him, and finally got belief that her theory about love is valid and Hachimaki really did care for her. After the amount of near death experiences and psychological battles both had to undergo, there finally is some sort of progress pointing up.

Hachi was finally able to see the whole picture. The thing that's connecting everything together is love. And a dream is worth more if you can share the experience with others. I really, really like what they did here. There's also no good or evil here, just differenct perspectives due to different circumstances which complement each other. That Tanabe was stronger than a lucky Hachi whose gun didn't shoot, was a nice touch.

well, this was,,, totally anticipated. nothing's new here.
hachi isn't a killler, check.
tanabe isn't dead, check.
hachi going back to tanabe with his tail behind his legs, check.

i get what they tried to do here, but it just used planetes's potential in the wrong way.

SO the guy was on a some sort of highway cause he was going fast.
Then a half paralyzed woman that walked ALONE at NIGHT near a high speed road in a wheelchair saw a guy drowning.
And it was ofc her love interest that was almost drowning there.
The coincidence is way too big.

Wow what an episode.

  • Hoshino suffers from PTSD after failing to kill Hakim, although he DID pull the trigger. Good for him.
  • He's really lucky the explosion happened RIGHT then and he got shielded by a piece of metal, or he would have been dead. Lucky for him.
  • Maybe all the near death stuff messed with him so bad he basically almost flubbed a press conference and if that had happened he might have lost his spot.
  • His DAD had to bring him to earth for some R&R. 
  • They stop by 7 and he visits the Debris Section only to find out Tanabe has resigned for "reasons"
  • At earth his brother is still a pain in the butt with the katsu stealing, but he's grown so huge now.
  • The man on impulse decides to go see Tanabe after realizing her "Will" was empty
  • He spaced out, crashed and landed in the sea, where he has a trippy near death experience
  • He survives and comes out to see Tanabe. She's in a wheelchair, suffering nerve damage. Aww damn.
  • Hoshino APOLOGIZES!! Whoa ..!!! Is it enough?

Frankly if he doesn't get his head screwed on right, he shoudln't be going to Jupiter.

The gun didn't fire, lmao. Of course.

Hachi's reunion with Tanabe is unconvincing. This is a man who spurns everyone around him for months or years if he gets so much as a single insecurity or pessimistic thought in his head, so why should the viewer believe this revelation of his is going to be the one that has any long term impact? Hachi has already had plenty of those, and they never lasted for longer than the duration of the scene, let alone an episode.

I don't think much has changed since the start in terms of storytelling
It's just each character flaws and weakness were shown in different lights and those said characters then realizes them

I liked the focus on Hoshino psyche and his struggles with loneliness and of course, his utter stubbornness to admit that
he does love space, and absolutely wants to achieve his dream of exploring space but he realize time after time that he is a simple person,
he wants to be surrounded by loved ones yet space kinda is the opposite of that and that's why it took him all this time to finally know that

But yes, the "romance" in this anime sucks, it's not well written and Tanabe is such one-dimensional boring character

then again, Japanese authors almost always fail to write an actual loveable female character in romance,
it always this template of submissive, clingy, naïve, clumsy yet annoying girl, they just don't know any other

I have to say I'm disappointed. The last episode was brillant and set up some intense narrative threads. This one, however, didn't deliver, in my opinion.

Having Claire survive and Hakim either survive or die by accident is a bitch move. It took a 5/5 episode to a 4 and kinda tainted my view of the end.

The reveal of what happened to Tanabe would've been more impactful and felt less cheap had Clair died. As is, it feels forced.
