----------------------------------------
Mutta headbutting, though unintentionally, his way into space. The host bringing up NASA training was a bit odd. While the results were obvious, it was a nice feeling when Mutta was accepted. The letters, and the pictures Hibito was looking at, seem to hint at some development for Hibito. Should be interesting. Not my favorite episode, but still a good one.

The entire television show felt a little contrived, but it didn't bother me all that much for whatever reason.

I wonder why Hibito wrote those letters? Is astronaut training and going into space that dangerous? Congrats to Mutta for making it through the second exam though.

Good episode.
I could tell it was going to work out this way I just didn't know how Mutta would take down the criminal.
Then SURPRISE Apo took him down. LOL

Good to see Mutta finally having luck on his side, and now towards the third exam!

Really curious though to know what exactly those letters were in the envelope at the end. . . Probably will find out next episode.

Great episode

Mutta is awesome with his super move "Diving Headbutt"
But apparently it was like it was said an accident he meant to get away and kind of the real hero was Apo lol!!!
But his luck has just changed.

Seems like the preview has already told me what the letter was written. Well, every astronaut need to be prepared if anything happen to them. Accident do happen .

Sometimes a lie can be much more convincing than a truth.Grandpa's story may had been an lie but Mutta's feeling toward saving Apo is definitely a truth.

I bet luck won't come in so easy when comes to the third exam and that is what we will see Mutta's true strength =P

Good to see him making progress with Serika, hope it works out in the long run :)

I really want to know what stories Hibito told those reporters ;)

Agreed that some parts of the TV show's content seemed a bit contrived, but otherwise I was very satisfied with this episode. I loved how Mutta saving the day was technically accidental. It felt very appropriate for him, as opposed to boldly rushing to take out the criminal on principle. Very him and very human. Aiming to save the dog and ending up headbutting the criminal, hahaha.

I had been eagerly anticipating this episode all week long, and now it's the same for next week's episode. Poor Mutta finding those 'letters'.

Good episode as always
Mutta was so cute... well he usually is, but with this message it was doubled (he could also print it BTW)

just asking - how many astronauts there will be at the end? 3 or 1 - as there is another exam it seems that someone should still drop and I don't remember that thing :/

and letters - I think in case of death
if memory serves there was something like this with Moon landing missions - I know that there was President's note prepared in case of failure

Nooo! The episode left me at a good cliffhanger, then the preview gave it away. OTL.

But nice episode. I loved when he was playing around in the hall and did the wall-to-wall thing. I used to do that as a kid. XD

LOL. It is headbutt as speculated from the previous ep. XD

Although, he didn't tell everything to everyone but at least, it made him believe that he has luck after all. :)

I thought he's going to cry when he went to the hallway. But just another funny acts instead. :D

LOL, not exactly the headbutt I expected, but a headbutt is a headbutt.

In a way, I think it's best like this, since it's better aligned with his character not to rush without thinking.

I am also surprised with Apo's initiative, that's one brave dog, I presume he attacked the thief in Mutta's defense.

Great episode, nice headbut that was awesome.
Mutta passed the second exams and lied on TV because of girls...
I'm looking forward to the next episode, this show has been one of the best this season so far.

Okay, I've gathered

Hibito's friend/co-worker died (Brian) and he's prepared for something like that to happen to him.

Apo is the best pug

From the preview:



Someone, somewhere now has a death flag for some point in the future. Someone.

This is one of the best from this season.

this show never fails to inspire me and make me laugh - by far one of the best of the season! anybody notice the character ozzy has a logo on his shirt exactly like the ozzy in the ozzy osbourne logo? at first i thought the old guy might be a fan, but i think maybe the show's creators might be ozzy fans....

I just ADORE Mutta. Hilarious that he was just trying to save his butt instead of cleverly thwarting the criminal XD His inner monologues are priceless, I love how honest he is to himself despite the show he puts on for others. Great and such a lovable character. (P.S. He needs to play karuta :P)

That was such an awesome episode! I suddenly had a huge smile on my face when I read that he passed. Told a lie to impress the ladies LOL. Mutta's character shined in this episode. The only thing I didn't like about him was that he was always so down on himself, but he's definitely gaining back his confidence :)

Definitely a big grats to Mutta on passing the second exam. He deserved it! On another note, I wonder what was written on that sheet belonging to his brother? I think we'll find out soon.

The first part annoyed me, actually. The message seems to be that lying is okay, which I strongly disagree with. He could at least have acknowledged that he was chasing Apo, even if he didn't mention the tripping. :/

Other than that, I enjoyed it. I'm glad he passed, and his reaction to the message from Serika was funny. I do wonder about those letters, though. I wonder what Hibito wrote in them.

The outcome of that robbery became an heroic story for Mutta even decided his fate in the second round of the space exam
Headbutting is become a returning plot device for the story xD
When he actually wanted to tel the truth he exagerated it even more to impress the pretty girls which was hilarious and just like him

Like Ozzy knew the truth. but explained Mutta's courage is still the same for trying to rescue Apo
Luck is really on Mutta's side now and that text message coming from Serika is sweet indeed
Though success gains friends, her intentions caring about Mutta already came from that moment with space helmet reflection

Episode 08 - Smoky Heaven:

Good for you Mutta, Headbutting your way to the top! but you have to lie? only because there were some pretty girl. Well like Ozzy says you're a "Competitor"

What is the content of the letter Mutta? I'm curious.

"Justice! I could never lie, not in the face of justice. I took down the criminal, to uphold the justice of this country!" (Mutta lying)

I take that back about there being some weird deus ex machina. They did well then just letting some guy in JAXA favouring Mutta. Mutta got lucky but it's still better than aforementioned. Good, I'm happy with the outcome.

Really mature to see the part about the letters. Some parts of the show, especially NASA do seem kinda off our reality but somethings like the letters was captured really well about what an actual astronaut would go through.

Also, Mutta totally had a threesome after the show.
The only opinion that should matter to you is yours.
