So, this is indeed interesting : to see Mutta face someone who hold a grudge against Hibito. So Mutta's bad luck is back again. :S

And that crazy ride, I think I'll throw up after that... o-o

And I don't think I would want to have a dog like Apo, it must be horrible not being able to sleep in XD

I have a feeling Azuma doesn't actually hold a grudge against Hibito.

I always seem to smile while watching this. Definitely one of the best slice of life anime I've seen. I can't wait to see the moment when Mutta achieves his life-long dream together with Hibito.

short episode, we met Hibito's backup, who seems like a really "cool" person.

Can't wait to see Mutta's encounter with Azuma.

He seems too mature for stuff like grudge, but the final exam should be interesting. Looking forward to it.

I don't think he has a grudge. It doesn't feel like this anime would do that.
Instead, I think Azuma will pretend to have a grudge and test Mutta.

Oh and LOL@ Hibito skipping out on reading the manual. XD

That's kind of saddening that Hibito was chosen ahead of a senior astronaut given that Azuma had done far more experience wise.

And it will be probably the case
but this is one thing and way Mutta's beautiful mind will see the situation is totally different case.

Love all the Apo face time. X3 As for Azuma, yes, I assume he doesn't hold a grudge either. Maybe he's even avoiding Hibito because he doesn't want Hibito to feel awkward about it.

I'm willing to bet Mutta secretly likes the attention. :P But really, I feel like Apo might just scratch at his door or make sounds the entire night. My dog does that if I close the bedroom door on him.

Great episode, both the opening and ending made me laugh.
The story is really interesting, but Azuma doesn´t seem the kind of guy to ruin someones dream imo.
I´m looking forward to more.

I agree that Azuma probably isn't holding a grudge. This show loves to introduce characters as one-dimensional and then add another dimension to their character later (like with Furuya).

Omg Apo alarm clock XD Poor Mutta ...
Hmm, I would have thought that Mutta'd be the one to read the book instead of charging on like Hibito, but I guess they're similar that way! They both learn quickly ... kind of doing the same thing huh? I suppose cutting's grass not as bad as Mutta thinks it is ;P
Azuma ... I don't blame him for holding a grudge really - especially if it was only so that Hibito would be more "TV friendly" :S That would really suck lol. Although I wonder if it'll be like a group interview again? I guess we'll find out next episode :O
Also, LOL at Hibito's replacement person. I forget his name but he's hilarious LOL XD

The Apo alarm clock is awesome. It would be particularly useful for someone like Hibito, who needs to be used to waking up at the same time every day (to help keep his internal clock steady). He's really grown on me.

Azuma... I don't know. It does seem like he's holding a grudge against Hibito, but I don't think he would treat Mutta unfairly because of that. As for seniority... I'm not sure how to judge that. On the one hand, it would seem unfair to lost out on such a big opportunity after putting so much time into it, yet on the other hand, to try to "hog" all of the the glory/firsts seems a bit selfish. Eh.

I wonder how the last exam will go. They'll probably cut the two people from Team C and one other person.

They're really trying to make Azuma seem like a bad guy but he just seems serious and passionate about his job. Hopefully the Space Brothers will be able to learn a lot from him in future episodes, I think he'd make a good mentor especially to a goofball like Mutta!

I don't think that Azuma is "bad guy". Show is just trying to make him lokk like that.

Episode 24 - The Worst Possible Interviewer:

Apo best dog, he really got Mutta to wake up.

Azuma and Hibito relation must be of rivals , most probably because Azuma must have some kind of grudge with Hibito, because he was selected before himself.

Hibito want to avenge the Jay brothers be stepping with his brother in the moon.

"Who needs instructions, just do it". I guess this is it. The last straw. My credit for this show has ended.
And nobody even told him that his behavior is absolutely wrong and destructive. They should have fired him immediately and expel him and his brother for good, instead of admiring how ingenious he is. Improbable. You can't convince me that such irresponsible easy-going goofs can be so special and accepted for such serious missions. He wouldn't even pass the selection, at first place.

Idk I feel Azuma might be a mature type. So I don't feel he'll feel a grudge. Maybe a bit frustrated but that's it.

i love how they introduce conflict with Hibito getting on the moon before Azuma and now it iwill be a roadblock for Mutta.
