| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The cooldown after this tense arc with Hibito and it is well deserved : ) Lol at Karen being a sadist with everyone's reactions especially Buddy. Interesting to see how Hibito has the wrinkles around his eyes as a scar of this event unless that's always been there |

| That was 20 min? Why does every episode seem to last for only 5 mins?! I'm glad Damian is okay! But his hands looked really horrible >< And the last scene was touching! :') |
| My heart is fluttery and I'm grinning like mad. щ(ಠ益ಠщ) LOL. Sadist/Masochist joke? That's... quite Japanese to me. XD Anyways, when Mutta heard that Hibito was okay, I just had to grin. Next episode! |
| Ok, I am an effing sissy. I had tears twice in this episode. |
| But wait, NASA didn't apologize to JAXA or something? They could have two deaths, that's serious... BTW: score raised. |
| First anime ever that made me shed some tears 3 eps in a row |
| Ugh i had tears too guys, it is just too well writen! Next week looks safe(-ish)Child hood promises?? |

Gah, all this excessive dirt in my eyes... -__- Hybridbloodszak said: Interesting to see how Hibito has the wrinkles around his eyes as a scar of this event unless that's always been there This is probably just me, but I think Hibito was trying to hold back tears, and those "scars" are more like blood vessels. Mutta reacted the same way when he got the news that he was officially an astronaut and also during this episode, when he finds out Hibito's safe. It'd make sense when he knows Mutta was one of the people who saved his life, I think. I could be wrong. :p |

| Sadist Karen... sounds good. Anyway, great episode. |
 |
| I am just glad this gets another season.When the quality stays this high one simply cannot ask for more. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Even though i expected that Hibito will be saved i still wanted to cry :) lol |
Hybridbloodszak said: Interesting to see how Hibito has the wrinkles around his eyes as a scar of this event unless that's always been there Those aren't scars. This is the way they show when someone is very touched and is about to cry. And both Hibito and Nanba have those when Hibito was thanking Nanba. |
| This was a nice episode in the aftermath of everything that had happened. Still, this was the first episode that had a completely different feel and tension to it, but it definitely needed a 'slow' episode like this in order to cool down.. |
| Buddy is becoming competition to Jaxa's Director in being funniest character. But this episode was more tense than previous ones... awesome job here. And seeing that everything ends well is good (I wouldn't hate this series for killing Hibito but it would look very weird to me). |
| Maybe, I won't be surprised if it goes on to 100+. And I won't mind. I feel like I've said this before somewhere, but it all the more makes me happier this show is actually really popular in Japan (somebody told me in China as well, but I'm not sure). The manga is still ongoing and sells well, the live-action film was well received, with Buzz Aldrin cameo-ing in the film as well as Coldplay singing the ending theme for that song, real-life astronauts recording dubs for the anime (one of them from Spaaaaacccee), and getting a new timeslot. In a time when every year it just seems that I'm gradually losing faith in this industry, Space Brothers just comes along on a whim. It's awesome. And now that this particular arc is over, I'm now tempted to watch the live-action and see how they end that. I was hoping the show would take a break, I'd watch the movie, then it would resume again, but I'm satisfied either way. |
|
| this episode made me tear up twice, SO GOOD! |
| Since I've had this at a 10 for quite some time, I can't raise the score--but I wish I could. I lost it when Mutta said: "Thank you very much." It's amazing how much emotion can be packed into a well-done anime. It's great that this show is popular in Japan and China and hopefully it will inspire young people to aspire to be astronauts in the same way that Brian and Eddy were by the Apollo missions. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |

Thats good to hear cause someone was talking about an ep 50 ending. |

| It doesn't seem this anime will be ending soon but I'm glad I don't know what I will do without space bros every week. Nice episode I liked seeing Brian and Eddie when they were kids :) |
| OMG... like, perfect episode. :') Too beautiful. Love you Hibito, and Mutta! |
| The scene where Mutta found out Hibito was safe... And when they talked... Waaaahhh ;___; |

Touch me, you filthy casual~ |
| This show never fails to get me teary eyed every episode. Such an awesome episode. That last scene was awesome. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |

Nice episode I liked seeing Brian and Eddie when they were kids :) I don't know what I will do either. I started watching Space Bros as soon as the subs came out. |
| Mu-chan is so tsundere lol |
| Whew ... glad everyone's safe! :3 Damian is actually one of my favourite astronauts too, so I'm glad that they both are recovering well. Mutta holding in all his emotions ... not crying in front of everyone when they told him Hibito was safe :') When they were talking at the end there too ... awwww :3 Especially when Hibito was talking about the three astronauts that saved him ... wow :O Eddie and Brian as kids were really cute lol :P Love how they wrote their names on the figures after Buzz and Neil wore off :3 Looks like we're going back to focus on Mutta next week ... more training and promises? This should be interesting! |
| I love this I don't want it to end anytime soon. |
| I'm finally all caught up. I didn't expect Hibito was going to mention what happened to him.. but he still kind of didn't. He talked about the awesome things he saw and the people who saved him... Good job Mu-chan. |
| Can't wait to see Mutta + Hibito BOTH in space.... <333 Loved the convo at the end. |
  |
| The presentation is so good in this show, it's just insane. Epic direction, it just never feels lame or stupid. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| The last part was so touching. Especially when Hibito said, "Thank you, Mu-chan!" ^____^ |
| "3 astronauts saved me" Best quote ever. |
 |
| ^I loved that too. You know, I don't normally pick up on this sort of thing, but the voice acting in this anime is really good. Mutta's "thank you very much" in particular was delivered well. It was a rather heartwarming episode. |
Intereo said: But wait, NASA didn't apologize to JAXA or something? They could have two deaths, that's serious... BTW: score raised. why would they apologise? you make decisions, sometimes they're the wrong one. |
| Aww the conversation between Hibito and Mutta. "3 astronauts saved me" Mutta's expression and his voice after been told that Hibito is okay, and after Hibito thanked him, came out very nice and fitting. "We're going to stand on the moon together, alive!" Yes, I'll be waiting for that to happen. |
 |
| I like how they didn't go into detail of how they used Brian-03 to find Hibito after he moved from his expected location where he left Damian. The guy walked a good distance from that spot and the ravine, had the drone gone straight to where Damian was I doubt they would've spotted him. Other than that pretty entertaining episode and I'll stop bitching now lol. Have really been enjoying the series so far but that whole situation just bugs me xD |
 |
| The worst moon driver Damian survived without major danages. He has a big debt to Hibitio. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Episode 44 - Three Astronauts: Glad that Hibito survived and Damian will be alright in three more months. "We're going to stand on the moon together, a love!" (Hibito to Mutta) 4/5 |
| I was crying a bit during the whole first half of the episode, Brian, Azuma and Mutta saved Hibito from the worst after he did his best to save Damian, seeing this happy ending made me so happy. |
 |
| A good conclusion to a otherwise bad arc, for me atleast. In terms of art and direction, it was fantastic but imo episode 39-43 lacked quite a bit in story. I found the whole falling down thing quite ludicrous and not to mention Hibito somehow surviving after having 0 oxygen for what was atleast 10 seconds straight. It's alright though, glad it's over now. Nice conversation at the end there. Hope the anime continues with better writing like before. |
| The only opinion that should matter to you is yours. |
| Wonderful episode with a great ending! Up to the next one! |
 |
| I want happy episodes, please, these last episodes almost killed me. Lol, poor Damian, he will suffer a lot until he recovers. |
 |
| this episode sums up nicely this hibito arc. the conversation of hibito and mutta touched deeply my heart. a lot of people saying hibito should have died to make things more interesting, i think that will ruin the whole build up of hibito surviving. |
