An impressive episode. 48 episodes is a long way to go (if that is in fact the case), but a pair of protagonists like Mutta and Hibito can make that possible.

Love the parallel to the Zidane headbutt (for those who don't know, because I don't remember it being mentioned in the episode, Zidane headbutted Materazzi because he had insulted Zidane's sister).

Forgettable OP and ED, but I love the soundtrack so far.

Very interesting episode. I loved the jokes in this and Mutta is a funny guy. Hibito is a very good brother, I know many people that just wouldn't care if something like that happened to their siblings. I couldn't help but cheering for them both. :-D I look forward to next ep, although I'm worried this might get boring easily.

Super boring, couldn't catch my interest at all and the headbutt wasn't funny.
Pretty unsure if I should give i a few more episodes.

Ok, I'll forgive you for bumping Beelzebub from the broadcast lineup for this, but you'd better not let the quality slip...

Haha I remember watching the Zidane headbutt on TV in the World Cup 2006...

Love how they implemented that... and I'm glad he stood up for his bro. This seems like a heartwarming, quirky story!

Surprise, surprise - I had thought it would be pretty good, but that was really great. Beyond my expectations for sure. Who knows - it may prove to be one of the best series this season.

Also: Zidane.

Exceptional first episode, pretty much similar to PlanetES but even more down-to-earth and full of grown-up comedy. Exactly what I expected.

That was so much better than I was anticipating. I haven't read the manga, but I wasn't really interested because it didn't seem that appealing, story-wise and all.
But this may actually be my favourite show this season.

I know it's way too early to start making such predictions, but the story, music, art, and characters, especially Mutta, are just perfect. I loved the way the episode started and the Zidane headbutt. The narrative is great. I love the sense of humor. I can't remember the last time I actually laughed out loud during an episode. There were 1 or 2 times that I paused the episode because I was laughing so hard. I've never done that before.

Overall, great. I never rate episodes higher than 6 or so until a few episodes have been out and I can really evaluate them, but I give this an 8 so far. I really can't wait for the next one! ^^=

I don't know about how everyone else felt about this show but...hot damn - it was anime gold to me! I loved this episodes and have high hopes for the shows. I love the humor and can tell it will include a fair amount of emotions mixed in. Shiiiit, I know Im going to adore this! Oh and did I mention that Hirata doing the awkward brother's voice makes me want to squeal. :3

Mutta's mom sound very familiar~~ . Later when the ending song show her VA.... I found that she is actually the same person who voice Luffy from One piece as well.

Kotetsu voice always suitable for people who do great things in the end with a lousy start in the beginning .

That was my favorite part of the episode. :D

I'm on the fence for now. Will give it the 5 episodes rule and then, we shall see. :)

Great first episode to start things off, with some sports humor. Reminiscent of Space Cowboys, but with 30-somethings and pop references, and also expecting the show to be a bit more technical. Should appeal to anyone who's a space nerd, but also can be very educational as we join the ride to space. :)

Oh god!!! I'm crying.... Finally... after the boredom of winter season, there is an anime that i think could fit me... oohhh...~~
But, why did people didn't expect this to be great when the manga is nominated for the 2nd and 3rd Manga Taisho Award and won the 56th Shogakukan Manga Award and 35th Kodansha Manga Award in the General Category.

I love love love Mutta already! He is so funny and his personality reminds me of myself a lot :P
And Hibito is a successful, good looking young man and he's not even a jerk or a smartass, in facr he actually really likable and a sweetheart!!! Wow is this type of character even exist in anime world???

But, i almost 100% sure that this anime will fail miserably in ratings and bluray sells, well otaku in japan didn't like any show with no moe in it right? no matter how good the story is and how unique the character are.... :(

I also heard that Zidane headbutted Materazzi because he keep insulting Zidane's mother and religion...

Series is good and show a lot of promise. Look forward to the next episode. On a funny side note: If anyone looks at the rocket shown at the end of the intro, it's actually an Ares I from NASA's Constellation Program, which funny enough, is now a cancelled. Also the spaceship model shown when they were interviewing the astronauts is an obvious allusion the Orion Capsule.

Not really expecting much, and this episode had its moments - but still it feels kinda lukewarm. Looks like next week might get a bit spicy, so I'm hoping for that to get me hooked ;)
