| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WELL SAID MUTTA "In a few years, I'll bring it back myself." The new OP is not bad. The new ED is not bad too but it isn't as good as Angela Aki's Kokuhaku. And the UFO at the end is a win. |
| The ending is soo awesome<33333333 ( Who sings it!?!?) But doesn't fit the anime as much as the previous one. Angela Aki nailed it. :/ I liked the previous opening better. I still find it funny that I hear Luffy every time Mutta's mom talks. XD |
| Who else would've answered "yes" to Azuma's question? Guess I'm no astronaut.... Love the new OP and ED. Very understated. |
| It really felt fillerish. I'm glad it's continuing, but I hope it doesn't lose it's quality in the long run as this episode suggests. |
| I like this anime, but I am starting to get a little bored of it. Hope it picks up soon. |
| IS Zidane kicking sumone these days?? Well the good news is probably another at least 13 more episodes since we have brand new opening. |
| There are so many shows lately that just rush through everything, don't care about having a solid plot and doesn't let us get to know the characters and their individual story. That being said, I just love to see that it's still some shows like this, taking their time and rather have more episodes! I really enjoy watching this every sunday ^^ |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
MM-Rosiie said: I still find it funny that I hear Luffy every time Mutta's mom talks. XD OMG, I thought that her voice was hyper familiar! Now that you said it, it's so Luffy's voice!! OMG XD Mutta's mom is so damn funny. XD Hey wait! Isn't that Luffy who married Brook and had Sanji as a child? WAHAHAHAHAHA |
| Mutta's parents are priceless XD can't get enough of Luffy his mom XD<33 loved the new ED <33333 next episode looks interesting *v* |
| Great episode. And new opening and ending (especially the last thing) are cool :) |
| @Kananipa Believe you me, Mutta and Hibito's relationship is something that is quite enviable. Not only are they brothers, they're also seemingly the best of friends-- they are really as close-knit as the word can possibly define. Their indifference is only natural not only as both of them grew up having the same interests and aspirations, but also because brothers tend to be more competitive with one another. Simply put, as much as Hibito wants Mutta to succeed, he also sees him as his rival (who can only bring out the best in him). Remember how Mutta, earlier on in the series, mentions "the older brother should always be ahead of the younger"? Egotistical/proud as it may seem, I actually do agree on that. Unfortunately for me, neither of my two brothers ever shared my interests nor are very competitive to boot; and so needless to say that our indifference to one another is very different-- we just really could care less as to whatsoever the other does as opposed to our protagonists' sibling rivalry. @KingofConquerors/Candor If you could only bring up an irrelevant title to this topic, I guess that just proves to show how there's little to nothing much to talk about in this particular episode. This is sarcasm. |

| HAPPY SCANS! Bringing the COOL in old school! |
| Another excellent episode... I always walk away with a smile. :D |
  |
| Mutta's mom: OMG! WE'RE IN FLORIDA MY SON IS GONNA LAUNCH LET'S GO TO DISNEYLAND OMG YAAAYYYY!!! Mutta's dad: ....yeah sure. Sounds like my parents xD Anyway, good episode. Idk, I still like Angela Aki's ending, but this new ones pretty good as well. The new op is better than the last one. Mutta's and Hibito's relationship is something I envy. Wish my little brother and I were like that. I want to know what's in that DVD-R! Is it UFO-related? World Cup? Can't wait :) |
 |
| Nice ep. Guess what's wrong with this picture:  |
 |
| ^ OH I KNOW! |
| Eww, the new opening song is horrible. The ending song is nice, but doesn't really match the show imo. Anyway, another great episode. I love fater Nanba. He's so badass, always keeping his cool. |

Guess what's wrong with this picture poor murrica, even our nasa clothing designers can't get our flag right Also, much better OP than the second, the second opening had a terrible song and one of the stupidest videos I've seen in ages. Sad to see Aki's ed song go though, it was not only great but perfect for the show too. |

amginex said: i dont mind the pacing, when im watching an episode i always feel like its too short and always wanting more. anyone else feel like Hibito's launch should might explode or something? LOL that would be a major plot twist I'm not reading the manga sadly but... I also got the same vibe. I mean if we have two brothers would be somehow plain to expect them to walk exactly the same path. Some plot twist might be on its way unless it will always be about Mutta's training. I keep thinking about the UFO or whatever they saw on that DOha's miracle day. Don't think it would ever turn into an alien show but it makes you think something IS waiting for them when they get "there" |
| The new OP and ED were good but i liked the old ones better because I liked to sing and dance to them |
 |
| I loved the past OP/ED, new ones not that good. |

| This show is losing its touch for me, I honestly feel like dropping it even though I came this far. Granted it is only 1 episode a week but this show is just starting to drag on me now.... |

Granted it is only 1 episode a week but this show is just starting to drag on me now.... The pacing started out fine because things were still happening every episode and characters were growing, but it does seem like it's not moving at all the past few. Hopefully things will speed up a bit soon - I don't mean to some fast level, but at least on the same level of pacing as it was earlier in the show because yeah, it's totally starting to drag lately. I mean it took 3 episodes just to get to this interview finally - and now we're still filling up air time with shit that should span about 2 minutes, like the next episode which seems to be entirely about the same flashbacks we've seen a hundred times and a couple new scenes mixed in...It's feeling like they are just trying to fill the time lately and nothing is really happening and the characters and motivations aren't going anywhere either. Just a lot of fluff. |

Just a lot of fluff. I think that's the real downside of watching this show, that it sometimes takes a long time to get things up to speed and keep the story moving forward. Personally though, I don't mind it at all, but I can totally understand why it would start to drag on a lot of people who want a faster pace than they're used to. Idk, Space Brothers is one of those shows I'm willing to make an exception for its very slow pacing. If I walk away from each episode with a smile on my face, I'm totally okay with it. But I think I see why people say it's starting to wear on them. |

| When a show is very good, its episodes feel short. Never boring. |

The problem for me is that I'm not getting that lately, I'm just sort of getting an "oh, it's over". I'm perfectly fine with the pacing if it continues to give me that feeling the earlier episodes did, where I really enjoyed them and actually got something out of it (which is really part of what I love about this show), but these last few episodes are starting to feel more and more like they are just a way to fill episodes and like they are spreading things out even more than they had earlier. Like, hell, the whole huge chunk of episodes entirely about going to and doing the locked-in team test? Loved it, the pacing was very slow, but every episode was full of content and character growth and development. Stuff was happening. Now it just feels like it stagnates and goes as slow as possible...with no real reason, and like nothing happens during it. I mean we spent 4 or 5 full episodes about one little interview that, as the show even says itself "is just a trick". I mean come on. And almost all of that was spent with nothing occurring whatsoever. I still love the show, and it's still great, but it's certainly got it's faults. And, now that I'm thinking about it, the problem - for me - isn't the pacing, but the content within the episodes feels like it's lacking lately. So hopefully it gets some more actual stuff happening again soon. I don't mean like action and explosions and whatnot, just anything really - even interesting conversations. SOMETHING. |

Yeah I can see that. It does feel filler-ish at this point, but idk, I'm still entertained regardless. Do you think it would've been better if they gave Azuma more screentime and backstory? Because personally that's what I wanted more out of the past few episodes ever since this interview thing started. Idk, soon it's gonna be launch time for Hibito and crew so hopefully there'll be more exciting stuff that follows it. That DVD-R too, I'm curious as to what's in it. |

I think more of a focus on Azuma, after all the buildup about him, would have been great - and WAY better than what we got instead which was essentially nothing happening. I felt like he would be more important but he ended up with less character development and backstory than almost anyone else in the show so far, which is pretty sad. Kind of hilarious too though, in the show he's a guy who got pushed to the side for someone else and as a character in the show he also got pushed to the side for someone else. I'm also interested in seeing what was recorded, clearly it wasn't really a UFO it wouldn't fit the show I think, but no idea what it really was. |
|
| Lol maybe something World Cup-related? They were throwing that quite a bit in the end and preview, if I remember correctly. But that's probably a red herring to throw us off. But yeah, wish there was more Azuma time. Maybe there'll be more of him later on? That'd be great. |
|
| Well I seriously don't think this show needs "pacing"... I mean it's not like this was some sort of action show. It was all just hilarious situations for Mutta and heartwarming in it's motivational optimistic way. I enjoy it evertime the same for these reasons. I don't want Mutta to get in space too soon, I want him to keep being how he is now, hopeful and trying his best. I still smile when I remember scenes, like when he fell with his chair, i don't know if it's because they are funny, but more like the kind of things that make you think.... omg it ALWAYS has to go somehwat the wrong way. And then they turn out to actually work out somehow. Plus you guys may not understand this, but... for aspiring flight crew members this show just got everything in its place. I've been through similar training and simulations, exams and interviews.... When I watch this I just feel that much closer to my dream as Mutta. I guess it's just that sort of coincidence xD Whenever I see certain scenes I just get shivers down my spine , how can I not enjoy it |
| Zidane headbutt really? wouldnt have thought id ever see that in an anime great episode be side that. |
| Meaning that Mutta answered correctly what azuma asked him ^^ wonder what will happen! |
 |
| For anyone interested, Akihisa Kondo (近藤晃央) sang the ED. The single isn't out till December though, unfortunately. I do miss 告白 though. Man I love this show. I think the pacing is brill atm. |
 |
| Mutta should have been dribbling Mars in the ed if Hibito was going to be dribbling the moon. I have a feeling Mutta will be bringing Apo with him whenever he goes places that Serika might be ;) |
| Another great, next episode will be about that DVD and it's content. I'm looking forward to it! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| New OPED :O |
| I love Hibito's Corvette in the OP. |
 |
| Ooh, new OP and ED! :O I like both of them but I kind of miss the old ones too. The animation in the OP is lovely though ... the rocket taking off at the end! :') Ah, so Brian asked Azuma that question ... that he passed on to Mutta. I agree with what they were saying. I mean, you should always choose life - death only happens in the worst case. Plus, most people that say yes are just saying it. I probably would have said no too, because I'm not "prepared" to die :S I love the interaction between Mutta's parents XD They're hilarious LOL ;P So what is this Miracle DVD? Looks like it'll be explained next episode ... the secret behind the UFO maybe? LOVE what he said at the end ... "I'll bring it back myself" :D Yeah you go Mutta! You can do it :3 That entrance WAS pretty smooth though ... but uh, Hibito WAS sharing a plane wasn't he? :P There are 6 astronauts and only five planes lol XD |
| DOES in OP! Fantastic! This anime gets so less publicity despite being a gem of a show! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Again, I emphasis how much I adore this show. I love how it handled the rivalry between Azuma and the Nanba brothers. It wasn't your typical anime argument with sunsets, youth and tears, but instead, simple yet complex while realistic. |
