Seems Mutta's about to be cut D: Let's see if that one fella who did the screw trick comes to his rescue.

Apo was annoying for all of three seconds before becoming hilarious. It didn't take much to win me over. ♥

I feel bad for Hibito. It seems like he misses having Mutta around.

It felt a little weird seeing an American suburb in an anime, but that was interesting. Unless it's an expat neighborhood, though, it seems unusual that the neighbors would speak Japanese.

Nice episode overall.

Pretty sure they're speaking English like everyone else.

Episode 05 - Days of Missing:

Well in the English note Hibito left to Mutta he wrote "frideg instead of fridge" so you still have a chance?

In the early years Mutta can be ahead of his brother, but the time passed and his brother slowly got to pass ahead of him. and slowly Mutta start to forget his dream about being an astronaut. And so his brother surpased him, and fulfilled his dream, but Mutta was many steps behind him.

And the ending part was not very good for Mutta.

The reason why everyone in the USA speaks in Japanese must be because Japan does not have much VA to do the English voice in the anime, is the same with others anime.

"You're supposed to be my rival. You're no fun now." (Hibito to Mutta)

I'm loving this show but I feel like I need to talk about the MC here.

It's fine as a kid or teen to be all like "Big brother is better" but as an Adult, Mutta really needs to grow out of this. Going to the moon/mars, being an astronaut really, for him is about his brother Hibito. He sees becoming an astronaut as finally living up to the whole "big brother is better" thing. It should be about him achieving his goals and not that.

I'm hoping that he goes through some character development and finally realizes that his brother shouldn't matter. They're both equal and there's no need for a 31 year old man to be competing with his brother who reaches moon/mars first.

Well just my thoughts anyway, on to the next episode. Just wanna say in the end, if Mutta doesn't change his views, I'll be a tad bit disappointed in this show.

edit: I have to say that Hibito's English wasn't anywhere near good for somewhere like NASA but I guess that's not really something you're supposed to think about. Although I think they ended up showing that Mutta had better English, so maybe it was intentional?

That ending sure was a bit sad, but on the other side expected in a way! Let's see what's next though.
