Ahh, I'm loving this show sooo much!! It makes me so happy inside, especially since I've been feeling down today. Mu-kun's just so awesome. I can't get over him :)

It'll be interesting when Mu-kun gets to go to NASA. We haven't seen much interaction between him and Hibito when they are older so I'm looking forward to it. This show just puts so much inspiration in you; I'm loving it!

I'm waiting for when Mutta texts/e-mails Serika. That's gonna be HILARIOUS<3

It looks like Apo's being introduced next week! ^_^

The main theme is such a catchy tune. It's been used a lot in the first four episodes (and there were three variations of it in this episode alone), but I'm not too worried about it becoming overplayed.

Seriously, it's impossible to watch this show without a smile on your face.

Another great episode. I love the faces Mutta makes, and that interview response. Looking forward to NASA and the dog.

Aww, this was such a feel good episode. I was smiling the entire time! <3

And ooh, I had no idea you'd get zero gravity within a plane that's plunging down at that speed. The things I learn from this show.

Kenji is a sweetheart and Mutta is so adorable. (Going off on a tangent a bit, I'm so happy we're getting more and more older characters who are more or less redefining -- or maybe expanding -- what can fit into the mold of 'moe'.)

Really looking forward to the next episode; I like their brotherly dynamics over the phone and as children; I think I'm going to love their interaction in person as adults. Their relationship is quite uncommon as far as anime goes - they're not constantly fighting nor do they display excessive adoration as is often the case. They're just so sweet and... real. The rivalry exists without a doubt, yet they never stop rooting for each other. It's so heart-warming.

5/5. I wish I could give a 6.

I could relate with Mutta being a brother that wants to be ahead of his brother at the same wishing for him to follow your footsteps. When my father promised my brother to buy him an acoustic guitar, I bought myself an electric one. So I knew how Mutta feels.

Love the tune, I wish I could learn playing it with guitar.

The episode slightly misrepresented what's happening. During a zero-g flight, the plane follows a parabolic arc, averaging about 45° on the way up and about 45° on the way down. Weightlessness starts a little before the peak of the arc and continues to about halfway down the other side of the arc. The same principle is acted out on some roller coasters (usually on the first hill after the initial drop).

Incidentally, some companies offer zero-g flights to the public, but they are not cheap.

Dem bubbles better make Mutta pass the examination. Another awesome episode, only glitch seems to be Hibito calling Mutta's new phone, i guess he could have the same number as before though.

I'm just wondering what will happen to the show once Mutta finally gets into space. The manga is running for over four years already, so he must have succeeded already...

Incidentally, some companies offer zero-g flights to the public, but they are not cheap.

More specifically, you're in free fall, not zero-g. It's like sky diving, or fall off a tall building, but without air resistance (being inside the plane shields you from that). You're still very much within the earth's gravity well, only the plane is going down at a steep angle instead of horizontal.

Technically, any satellite is in "free fall" - what keeps it from hitting the earth is its tangential motion. The further you get from the earth the less your mass will weight, but since the force drops off with the square of the distance you do get to a point where it feels like nothing very "quickly", but certainly not at any height any commercial jet can reach.

Every episode this anime manages to make me smile and giggle and this episode is no different!

Extreme laughter at the brothers talking and giggling with one another on the phone. Reminded me of Beavis and Butthead :'D...

Also LOL shampoo and bubbles. I expected him to say something brilliant. XD... guess not!

It's really ironic that the anime you weren't expecting much from turns to be one of the best anime for the season, this goes to this show and Kuroku no Basuke, for me that is, while all the other shows which you had high hopes for turns to be the worst you've ever seen, or well not good.

I can't agree more, the positiveness in the show is impressing me more and more with every new episode, this episode especially, the first minute after the opening made me laugh so hard (Mutta envying Hibito.. for the 2 girls behind him lol) not mentioning all the great stuff that happened this episode.
It's a great thing that this show is a 45+ episode show.

Honestly this show is something else. I actually had a hunch from the synopsis that this was going to be good, but I still put it off for a while.

This is such a pleasurable show. You get so many funny and "feel good" moments that it's awesome. Had a smile on my face throughout the entire episode, as with previous ones.

I was laughing so hard at that. I was like "Come on dude even in your imagination the face you make for the photo is silly?"
He certainly is a lot of fun. And is nice seeing a average funny guy like him fighting to make his dream come true.

Loving this anime :D, if it keeps this up this is going to be one of my top favorite anime series.

Mu-chan is quite simply awesome, and he shows a wide range of emotions and everything, the faces he pulls are so :).

Plus at the start of the episode when Hibito was in space and everyone was going on about how jealous he is of him and he was jealous because of the hot girls with them made me laugh :)

It's rare that I genuinely laugh out loud when watching something, but that shampoo revelation was too hilarious. I'm really enjoying this show, and like the slower pace that it has.
Also, Kenji is an awesome guy.
