----------------------------------------
Man Hibichov is sure having a tough time, his condition is not progressing at all. Olga sure was a shocker, never did I imagine she was 15! She looks very mature, not to mention she's a serious Hibbit fan. I'm sure she will play a role in Hibito's rehabilitation. Not a bad episode overall. The new OP and ED songs are pretty good as well. Specially the ED, I liked that one.

Oh, great OP and the ED is awesome! It fits uchuu kyoudai so much!

Olga is trying too hard to act like an adult! But I think she'll help Hibito quite a lot.

Olga being 15 years old really was a surprise. It was pretty funny looking at how she was trying to act like an adult. Better watch it, Hibichov.

Nice episode :D

Olga is totally tsundere. I'm also sure she'll play a role in helping Hibito recover. Well it's obvious from the pv XD

Really feeling bad for Hibito though.

"Eh? What are you doing? Are you okay?"
"That's enough! You're scaring me!"

LOLOLOL. HIBITO.

But yes! I was nervous about a love-interest showing up, but she's only 15. She'll definitely help in his rehabilitation though. It's sad to see Hibito struggling ... I think that information about Mutta starting his training should be passed on to him.

Love the new OP and ED. <3


Second that. I think most people wouldn't pick up this anime simply because of the synopsis anyways. Too bad for them... I watched the first episode on a whim when it came out and it blew away my expectations. One of my all-time favorites since then. :P

Although I prefer Mutta for obvious reasons, I really enjoyed this episode.
Olga acts like an older woman to appeal Hibito. OTP already?
New OP&ED are awesome.

I think it's clear that Hibito will recover thanks to Olga and probably because he will remember the promise he made with Mutta.
At least this is what I think.

This is going to sound bad, but I'm glad Hibito has hit a rough patch. We're hopefully going to break through that idolised exterior and see what's inside. At least his internal reactions are similar to Mutta's, haha.

I like Olga so far, her posing and showing off is kinda sweet. Overall kids are nicely portrayed in this series imo.

For some reason the preview made me think of Billy Elliot :P

I like the new Op/Ed. Ivan is a crazy guy and Olga is funny trying to act super mature. This felt like a true Uchuu episode, like how slow paced and careful it is so far.

Likewise, back during Hibito's crisis on the moon, I thought that his death would have made for a far more powerful turn of events. But I'm actually glad they've done this instead, there's some serious potential character development to be had for Hibito with overcoming his trauma. In the preview I think I saw him dancing, I wonder if he's going to go for that energy and courage that Olga mentioned.

The new OP is the best to roll out personally.

This is such a good arc with Hibito. It has always been painted that he is on top of his game personally and in the space world as a whole. Seeing the opposite end of the spectrum and his struggle to want to return to his world is making a good watch. I hope he can open up to and rely on Mutta if he needs to.

I have mixed feelings about Olga. I think it is cute that she likes the show but it bothers me a little that she's so negative about Hibito having a difficult time. I know she's young and idolized him because of the show and I assume I'll ease into her being around as she gets to see more of what Hibito is like as a person.

I generally like characters the more hardships they end up facing. In this case Hibito definitely falls under that category. I suppose because to me it makes him feel more real to me. Having difficulties and overcoming them.

I enjoyed this OP a lot, last OP was great too so kudos for all the great OPs/EDs.

Poor Hibito is only getting worse and worse.

Olga seems like an interesting character, but heeeyyyy- I think 16 is legal in Russia woop woop!

I'm going to guess that only two things are going to get him out of this slump, Olga will help him gain the courage and energy he needs again by inspiring him through her dance and hearing his brother is training for Lunar missions will push him harder!

Olga's got the "GAH! Ok ok be cool" bit down. Even if she ends up trying to act a little TOO cool. That's ok though, we love her for it.

I wonder how much she knows about why Hibito is there? I hope we get a nice heart to heart between them next episode.

Good episode, it felt really good getting fresh characters and a change of scenery. Wasn't expecting the "she's 15" part, in a way it trades the love interest routine for something more complex, especially since in the preview Hibito looks like he's starting ballet, so I can see a frienship built on Olga teaching him to dance.

Olga, can't wait to see what part she plays in Hibito's comeback. All you people dissing Mr. Hibbit, you can now see that it actually has some usefulness in the main show, but seriously i never realized it was manga content, i thought someone from A-1's staff just thought it up.

Anyway, great episode, it flew by in a minute and I couldn't believe it's already over.
Olga seems hilarious, a try-hard Russian anime otaku lol... Speaking of which, what are the other figures next to EVA in her bedroom? They are obviously anime references as well...

Oh and is it just me, or are the OPs getting gradually more serious...?

Ssupposedly he was born September 17 1996, according to wiki. I think the anime started in 2025. So he is like 29? But I don't know how long has passed, so probably a bit older. So not quite xD.

Lol. Yeah she's soooo young but I'm going to ship them anyways.
Maybe she'll grow up a bit after he's goes back to Houston and then when he comes back, its on.

I was really agreeing more with the fact that he'd probably be less stressed if he had some sex. I mean seriously. I liked his assistant lady, but we'll see.

So I noticed that around 7min 45s or so into the episode when Olga was walking in, the entrance is done Japanese style where the person takes off their shoes and then "steps up" to enter. Don't really know if that's how they do it in Russia or not.
Yes, that's how they do it. They don't really "step up" however nor do they perform any sort of ritual with leaving their shoes in some particular manner like proper Japanese would do. They simply change street footwear to something cozy. This also helps to keep the house clean, leaving the outside dirt at the entrance.

Her age made me really disappointed. After previous episode, I really hoped for a sweet romance story for Hibito. He so much needs it, and he so much deserves it. LOL, the brothers are really not that lucky with girls. Even Namba didn't succeed with the heart in the sky xDD

Since we've already seen some examples of rapid time compression (Mutta's training, the progression of Sharon's illness) in this show I wouldn't rule out Olga maturing enough to be a serious ship for Hibito before the end. At this point though, if anything happens Ivan would probably show just a little bit of Russian temper.

Olga sure looks like she might want to grow up fast, but she still goes fangirl over Mr. Hibbit which kind of spoils the image.

Dang Olga looks so much older than 15.

Don't know what I feel about her yet but it seems like she will be crucial in helping Hibito along with his problem.

I don't ship them though, not everything has to be a romance drama.

yeah I was going to say that you're getting anime and you decide to watch Mr. Hibbit? head+desk.
Thanks for reminding me about LotGH, I should get to that, i've had it on-hold for a long time.

I don't like the OP because I don't like the singer's voice but the ED is quite nice.

Olga totally gives me an Annie vibe.
I hope nothing really happens between her and Hibito though because her being 15 would make me feel rather... uncomfortable about it hah. Although I think it will end up being she helps Hibito and he helps her sort of thing because it's kind of hinted at the PV that maybe she has a bit of trouble she needs to get through

The term Cosmonaut is more a favorite to me compared to Astronaut

At Moscow, the Red Square was drawn out great
Olga meeting her idol and showing off with her ballet moves and immature drinking was cute
She might be the one defrosting Hibichov later on
I was more happy about anime reaching Russia, hoping it would grow more into a mainstream thing across the world then a niche

The quality of Mr Hibbit shown in the middle of the episode was way higher than the usual one show at the end

Hahaha oh man. How often do you see an anime with a girl that looks older than she really is? Normally it's the other way around.

Olga's attempts to act like an adult were cute. It's too bad, in a way, that she's too young for Hibito.

Ivan having Hibito stay at his house is a big deal, even if it was at Azuma's request. Russians tend to value their family greatly. They don't let just anyone come to their homes. I do understand Hibito's desire for some space, however. Sometimes having lots of people around makes it even harder to deal with issues; having your personal issues being known by others is stressful.

I actually think they might have been better off leaving Hibito alone for a minute or so after he collapsed in the pressure suit. They aren't giving him enough time to potentially recover from the initial attack.

Hibichov is really struggling... I think there is this fear in him that he'll be alone, so moving to a more unfamiliar environment may not be a good idea...

I thought Olga would be Hibito's love interest at first LOL but to think she's half of Hibito's age... OTL

And i wonder what language they are conversing in... English?? But unlikely? So that means Hibito knows Russian then??
