Ahhh, I'm loving this show so much! And I hate when main characters are way too moe or attractive so this is PERFECT<3

I just think Mu-chan is so awesome, and that lady looks interesting too :)

"I play a tune with no melody, and walk where there is no road."

I like that.


This show reminds me of Chihayafuru for some reason. Possibly because both shows are so moving, and both main characters are striving for their dreams.

That was the first thing I thought, too! I figured they'd do one step of the process each week. It seems to be moving quickly for a series that (supposedly) is going to be 48+ episodes.


The first episode adapted the first chapter of the manga (which was longer than usual). This episode adapted the second and third. Compared to the source material, it's not a fast pace.

It's actually not going to be this long. June 27 was stated as the airing of the last episode. So it may only be just 12 episodes;

When he was arguing with his Mom it sounded like Luffy arguing with Sanji from One Piece! Wonder if any other voice actors from One Piece are in this show ?

Awesome show! :3 Mutta was so cute as a child ... playing all the instruments! Plus his drive to be the better one of the brothers ... well, as the older child myself, I have to say I can understand his feelings :P
Ah, that screw is going to be good for you! :P Kenji seems really cool so far ... and we see more of the girl next time it seems. All three of them noticed the screw huh ... funny that the interviewer would do that XD Looks like Mohri (I think) did that to him too ... well, I looked him up actually LOL. Anyway, I think it will help him, because noticing that kind of stuff and fixing it is pretty important if you're trying to go into space. A single loose screw could have huge consequences! Hopefully they all pass ... looks like physical testing is up next! :O

this bores the shit out of me, I hate the forced humor, I hate the corny ambience, I hate how easy he succeeded and he's supposed to be unlucky on top of that, I hate how we don't hear the questions, makes you think the author doesn't know what he's doing, I hate how they make a big deal out of the screw, yeah I hate a lot

LOL, the hair talk amused me.

I like how they did a little creativity with that nerve wrecking interview. I thought it was neat tbh. And based on this episode, I think it establishes the fact that there are three potential candidates including Mutta who can really become an astronaut.

The phone drop was funny. "Mom!" xD

The interview was pretty interesting too. I figured the screw would work in his favor, but I didn't realize it was deliberate. Looks like we have two more likely candidates now.

Sharon does teach Mutta well and he is such a go-getter as well
The unfortunate loosing his phone inside the toilet was hilarious and also not fictional in the real world
Some people actually brings them to the repair shop hoping to get it fixed and smell fresh again xD

As pointed out near the end the interview chair with a loosened screw was the most important segment
I like the way Serika and Kenji got together with Mutta at the lunch room

Weird space suits I got stumbled on the ED while the stream freezed at the ad:

Crazy design

This anime is going to be the next Planetes.


Dunno about that since this is set in the near future rather than the distant future. Its off to a promising start though.


Planetes isn't really distant future, it's only 60 years after this anime.

Haha, as soon as he mentioned the screw I had a feeling it was part of the test. Even if it wasn't officially part of it :P

Episode 02 - My Shining Star:

There was a loose screw on the chair of the exam, but Mutta noticed so he will be fine, as well as Kenji and the women.

"...I want to go to space" (Mutta)
"I play a tune with no melody, and walk where there is no road...this will take me to my shining star!" (Mutta)

i rather enjoyed the episode. i dont like the heavy handed convenience of which characters passed that little test in the screening which will all obviously be characters later, but i am willing to overlook this time.

loved that though last ep mutta was excited, he's showing human side, unlike typical anime character, the realism is what make this anime much better.

i don't have problem in the animation, only the way woman are drawn, but i had seen worser.

the screw thing were interesting.

This show is warming up my heart! It was a good decision to not watch it for years because of insanely high expectations; it's right right right up my alley just like predicted!
