Quite a way to introduce Mutta's next obstacle in becoming an astronaut. An astronaut with military experience who seems like quite the workaholic with a strict personality. Vincent Bold. Interesting name to say the least

That was greaaat!! Loved it so much. Wasn't so sure I'd like this whole astronaut training arc, but this introduction really hooked me. This is gonna be amazing as always, I'm sure :) Mutta allowing Kenji to stay with him was sweet, and earlier in the ep with Ena and her sister, Kei, was really adorable too :D

I DO NOT LIKE VINCENT BOLD. AT ALL. He just really pisses me off, lol. I can totes see problems between him and Mutta in the future ;)

Also, I want some more Mutta x Serika!! We've been missing those scenes for a while ^_^ They are so cute hehe.

Grr, Kenji really trolled me with his comment near the end! I want to knoww what he was going to sayy!! Uwaaa~ xD

Lol, Mutta got trolled 8) I like this Murasaki guy!

Oh my, this training is going to be tough! I bet Vincent Blod would be the most annoying character... unless he get some background story later.

Is it bad that I, kinda... like him? He's sorta badass, and I think Mutta need to do something great to impress him (as he said). I'm curious about what that will be.

I wouldn't say I like him.. but I kinda enjoy his douche quality... I think it's an interesting addition to the plot.

Vincent Bold is kind of right about Mutta... except that Mutta is not a lost cause!

Vincent Bold... I don't like him. I feel llike he'll be a character that Mutta will change though. :O

I want this to hurry up so I can meet the other astronauts!

Have to wait another week.

I'm not impressed with Vincent Bold as a trainer. Since all of the candidates have passed some sort of selection process in their home countries you have to assume they have some capabilities. Prejudging them on the basis of a picture and a brief dossier is poor practice for any teacher or trainer. I get the impression that he just might be a little too rigid in his opinions. Fight-o Mutta--it looks like difficult times ahead.
Please don't feed the trolls!

First part of the episode presenting the departure of Japanese female astronauts with their loved ones was rather mediocre. Slice of life in its pure form isn't my favourite cup of tea. What's worse we got the chance of learning something new onyly about Ena since scenes with Serika were began and ended at the dining table (as usual). Mutta making a complete fool of himself wasn't that good either. His eccentricity can be funny at times but him being a doctor of engineering shouldn't be as easily duped (I prefer when he does a Bruce Lee stance than when he believes everything he's told, especially if Murasaki who is known for being a prankster does the talking). Although Murasaki's prank wasn't that bad after all mainly thanks to the end of email and Kenji's role in it. His profound interpretation of this joke was the funniest thing of all :D.

Second part of the episode on the other hand left a very good impression. This new character has interested me from the start. Stoic as Nitta and serious as Azuma (and yet you instantly know he's different than the two) - that's quite a combination. And he's being dubbed by Kenjiro Tsuda who is perfect in that role. Also, Mutta is in his crosshair from the get-go which bodes well for the story.

Bwhahaha, gotta love the 'wear your astronaut suit' prank. And here's one fool that got played completely at his first job with that same prank (except with a full suit for a desk job because 'clients' were coming). Loved it.

Also, looks like we're getting a female Indian astronaut! ^-^

I really didn't like the instructor though. Looking down on people and viewing most things as a waste of time. You can't enjoy life if you never stop and admire it for what it is.

Another nice episode where we get to know the cast better: Ena and Bold of course. But what was Kenji trying to say to Mutta? Gotta love those tiny cliffhangers. And yes, the Indian recruit looks pretty hot.

I expect a lot of fun from interactions between Mutta and Mr Bold. They are so incompatible.

But showing interactions with families was nice thing to do, especially with some background on Ena.

Bold is awesome, for me he just adds more comedy to the show, at least in this episode. The way he tries to be ahead of everything, constantly interrupting everyone is too funny.

Loved it as usual :)

The family relations with Ena were nice since we didn't really know much about her :D

Murasaki trolling Mutta and Mutta using this as a chance to stand out was funny esp when he wore the cowboy hat XD

Nice to see Kenji living with him...if only he didn't troll us at the end hehe.

Vincent seems to be interesting...I can't wait til Mutta makes him his bitch hahaha XD
Well yeah, I'm interested in seeing Mutta change him. Wonder how Hibito dealt with him.

And finally, can't wait for the new recruits...that Indian babe looks quite hot :D

Bumped this show's total score from a 9/10 to a 10/10. It's worthy of it. Got to love it. Every Mutta interaction and comment just makes me smile. I even liked Ena's short story about leaving home. Her family reminds me so much of mine. Such a wonderful, realistic anime that always leaves me smiling. Oh, and of course, I loved how Mutta fell for that jumpsuit prank in the begining. "JK!" :D

Does anyone know how many episodes are expected to be pumped out from this series? I'm hoping that they'll go for more than a hundred! (Kinda being greedy. :P)

If he made something like that he would get a free return ticket, that's for sure. Even better, if Mutta tried to start a fight Vincent would stop it before that with just the result I wrote, he's always a step ahead and Mutta is no exception.

No i bet this blonde guy will get interested in Mutta after that fight. Because Mutta can do couple things at the same time as well. It was already shown couple times in anime. And this Vincent is bored, the part where he took this new guys for a ride and was disapointed by them show that he is looking for a challenge.

Nice episode! Liked seeing some more of Serika and Kitamura ... the scene with her younger sister Kei was really sweet :') Their family is so awesome ... so Kitamura (or "Ena" now I guess) is the oldest sister huh? :P She DOES have that caring feel to her ... nice that her and Serika are such close friends :3
Omg WOW Mutta you actually wore the jumpsuit! XD Of course Kenji would see the JK at the end ... and put such a deep meaning to it WTF LOL XD I don't think Murasaki's that type of person ... XD
Vincent Bold huh ... he's ... interesting, to say the least o_O Nice car he has but crazy ... seems like he's obsessed with time lol. Cutting people off and just leaving ... although I wonder about why he brought TWO cups of coffee with him? Hmm ... doesn't seem like he's a chill guy either lol D:
MUTTA AND KENJI LIVING TOGETHER IS GONNA BE INTERESTING ;O I wonder what Kenji was gonna ask? Guess we'll find out next episode! :O
Can't wait to meet the other astronauts! THERE ARE CANADIANS HECK YEAH! ;P

It was nice getting to see more about Ena since I didn't have a good grasp of what her character was like. I loved what she had to say to her sister, one day I hope to find that one thing to be passionate about. :)

And poor gullible Mutta, at least he gave out a sweet autograph? XDD

It's not that easy.
Also if you remember the training at NASA also include learing how to pilot a jet and that's a case where multitasking is heavily required even on an higher level Mutta is capable of.
Not to mention Vincent isn't the type to be impressed by a single thing.

Hilarious episode. I laughed out loud when Murasaki showed up in his casual wear and Namba saw him. Bold is already classic, and I LOVE LOVE LOVED Nanba's confidence in his cowboy hat and jumpsuit at the end, lmao. He was stylin' on Nitta 100 percent.

Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

Once you pass security, you can buy whatever refreshments you want from fast food places and little shops. You can also get refreshments on the plane, though I doubt they'd be offering black vinegar.

Oh man would've rather had Mizoguchi become an astronaut than Vincent the douchebag. Sure Mizoguchi was cocky as hell but at least he didn't constantly interrupt people before they could finish a sentence. That's got to be the most obnoxious thing a person could do and I have no idea how the hell this guy was able to become an astronaut.

Also, who doesn't love Murasaki and his shenanigans with Mutta xD
