It's great to see Kenji again. I always consider him to be the best of the astronauts JSAX sent to NASA. That mission to the asteroid is pretty cool. I know I'd rather go there than the ISS or the moon.

Manga reader,how much longer do we have to wait for Mutta,Kenji,Nitta and Serika to go to space?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

The episode is good, but I feel like I missed something... Was this a flashback? Is Mutta's training finished already?

Aww this was a cute episode. I'm so happy for Kenji.

I laughed so hard when he started to rub his wife's eyebrows XD

It was so nice to see him again.

This episode was so heartwarming once again! Mutta finished his training already? Kinda wanted to see how the characters developed...

Seems like Hibito will be facing some problems based on the PV.

I think Maria would have been a fitting name for An-chan instead. But congrats to Kenji on your second daughter and first mission =D
Let the pioneering of asteroid exploration begin. Kenji's just the first snowflake on the iceberg. And it's riskier than exploring something larger like a moon. Especially if it's moving. Landing on it will be hard. Moving around on it will be hard.

Good to see Kenji and Nitta getting a mission.

I just realised Mr Hibbit hasn't been shown since it's cliffhanger a few episodes ago. My guess is if this really is ending soon, that's when they're saving it for.

I'd rather hope that they're saving Mr Hibbit for episodes where they need to stretch for time...

Kenji... Freaking out and doing weird things.

Congratulations to him for his mission though! The only way it could possibly be cooler would be if he was going to Mars.

Wah, great Kenji episode! What a great day for him eh - getting to go explore an asteroid and his daughter's born! Funny how they decided to name her (I can't help thinking "what if the baby's a BOY?| XD) lol
Mutta is SOOOOO happy dancing with Serika XD So cute haha :P
Man, must be nice to be in Houston ... Christmas time and not a drop of snow eh? Doesn't look terribly cold either ... *looks outside where there's snow everywhere and it's March* :S
Looks like another new year will be approaching ... or wait, have we seen one yet? Ah, I don't remember! XD

Kenji will get his name in the history books for that, since it is a real first. Loved the look at his family life, brought back memories of when my daughter was born (and a couple of tears). Also some progress for Mutta--at least he got to hold Serika's hand.
It's obvious that everyone else in the astronaut corps knows about Mutta's interest...except Serika.
Please don't feed the trolls!

It was nice seeing Kenji once again. But I'm surprised they would send him and Nitta in that kind of mission. That seems way too big for rookies.

I'm always impressed with how these guys handle their supporting characters. It's like, we know the main characters are Hibito and Nanba, but they're able to expand on every single character they've introduced and really get you to feel for them one way or another, a rare trait in a lot of shows these days.

Glad Kenji and Nitta finally have their chance to go to space! And hooray for An-chan!

Beautiful episode :*)

Kenji not knowing what to do when Yuki was in pain and ending up rubbing her eye brows was so hilarious XD Especially her reaction hahaha.

Gratz for him for both An-chan and his mission to AN hehe ^^

Mutta dancing with Serika was really fun :D

Is it just me or did the animation kind of change in this episode? Especially the characters look different in the non close-up shots.

The first half of this episode was really boring and consisted of lots of slow panning shots.
(Is this One Piece or something? Where we have to waste as much time as possible by panning around slowly everywhere.)

Fuuka made a nice appearance again and naming her future sister An translated as safe or at ease in Kanji 安

Haha. I'm not sure whether to feel happy for Mutta or whether to feel pity for him. Serika is clueless.

I'm very happy for Kenji and Nitta. Being two of the four chosen to be the first people explore any celestial body beyond the moon is huge. It actually reminds me of Mutta's eventual goal of going to Mars.

Welcome to Space Brothers, An-chan~

On another note, I'm concerned about how things will wrap up in only three episodes. It hardly seems possible. .-.

Congratulations to Kenji and his family! Now he has two daughters, what a handful! His wife does such a good job of supporting him and he is so hardworking and loyal. Such a great guy, I am so happy he's got his first space mission now. I agree with others here, I think he's one of the most talented people we've seen in the show.

Agreed, this has been my favorite family in anime!

I loved this episode. It's a great conclusion to Kenji's story, it feels like they did the character justice by the end of it. He's going on a space mission like no one else and in the end his Family man image is still intact. I adored this episode. Kenji is great character.

3 more episodes left, god damn it. If this doesn't end with Mutta on Moon I'd be so so so sad. I like what they did with Kenji, please give the same conclusion to Muu-kun here!

this is very promising for many people to see how adult people are moving towards their goals through obstacles and doubts and letdowns...Well, it's just so different moving and dreaming in life when you are no longer a carefree teenager...On balance, great episode
