----------------------------------------
The story behind the UFO nicely supplemented Hibito's character, who we've been seeing more of since the simulation. It also adds to the current ending sequence. The utilization of flashbacks in this show, which seem more infrequent lately, remain effective, especially in this comparatively slower transition period. At least one more episode until Hibito's launch, which should serve as a nice spark.

Nice episode. I find it funny how the launch vehicles they are using to get to the moon bare a VERY close resemblance to NASA's canceled Constellation project. Mars I and Mars V obviously being referring to Ares I and V and the Artemis Lander being the Altair Lunar Lander.
I'm guessing they have to use alternative names since they are shelved NASA projects. Since Orion, the EDS (Earth Departure Stage), and the ISS still carry their own names and are active projects within NASA.

Was a great show despite the "Buddy" fan service.
Their dad isn't fazed by anything - "A lot of stuff has gone missing today"
I love the music was banjo and violins that Hibito was playing with his guitar.
Still a touching story about brothers.

Excellent episode further delving into their bro-dynamic. I love them as kids and adults... I love how it accurately shows how they have a different relationship as adults, but it still contains every bit of respect and love. I also like that they never lost their sense of wonder.

<3 this show.

The launch is coming up!

Oh you poor souls who did not enjoy this episode. I laughed plenty, with the missing tissue box and pot and then I cried as well. Seeing how much the brothers cared about each other. The way Mutta stood up for his goofy but ever loving brother. I'm so happy-sad! I don't know what this feeling is! ;_;

Great episode as usual.

Tho another thing about the OP...

More like "FAIL".

Oh and I know that the anime is in the future and all, but it still feels damn weird when you realize that Mutta is actually younger than you. ^^'
And that he had Inaba's voice.

This is so entertaining. It's nice to see this little flashback about their DVD.
I can't wait to see the main story progress though.
Also: Their father's shirts are amazing.

Aww, this was a sweet episode :P From Hibito not going in (even though he obviously wanted to) and making a fake so Mutta wouldn't be bullied anymore ... wow. I mean, Mutta obviously couldn't show it to him (he'd probably be harassed even more for faking it lol) but it's the thought that counts?! :P I guess that's why the DVD is so important to him ...
Also, the father. Omg. I love him and their mom so much XD Guess he was the same back then as he is now haha XD
Hmm, so the launch is going to begin next episode ... I'm so excited! Someone's finally going into space! :O

Oh crap. That did not help me convince myself that I'm over-thinking it. x.x

...

Anyway, I really like the relationship Hibito and Mutta share. I think the fake UFO Hibito made was pretty cool. I also liked that Mutta didn't make his brother look bad in front of the other boys without telling him about the string. It was really heartwarming. ♥

Mutta's parents are funny. They're really entertaining as side characters.

I love how this show mixes in flashbacks to flesh out all the characters. Makes them all more loveable, even if it means the actually story gets dragged out (when will we see this launch!? haha).

Episode 28 - Miracle of Doha:

Great episode, it strengthens the bond of the brothers, and it shows you that a airhead like Hibito cares deeply for his brother, instead of fight with the bullies he try to help he brother witouth fighting because he listen to him and cares about him.

"Hibito's UFO was fake. But he worked hard to make that fake, so that video is very important to me." (Mutta)

I'm guessing the animation and sound teams must not work too tight since both teams country music didn't match, I bet both teams were told "make country music here" one went for guitar+harmonica, the other banjo+violin and I bet they let it like that since they're all foreign instruments so the regular japanese wouldn't notice.

What a sweet story! I like the relationship between them. I don't know why I cried a lot when Hibito tried to make the fake UFO.

and why does the guitar sound like banjo lol
