Looks like Hibito's back. It was amazing to see his crewmates come help him with his test.

Such a beautiful episode :D

Loved Hibito's comeback. Was so awesome when he jumped hahaha.

And ofc loved how his crew helped with Damian diving in too :)

Poor Mutta, he killed his sides for nothing XD...Well he did look cool in front of Serika XD

Nxt ep looks so much fun. I feel like I'm gonna love the nxt arc. The new characters all seem unique and fun. Mutta blushing spotted with a big Oppai lady XD...And seems like Andy will be there too. I love the guy so glad to see him again :D

It was pretty good. That one jerk made up his mind before the test even started. Good to have people to stand up for you when it really counts.

This series is so damn beautiful.. It's probably the only series that gets me teary without any sad moments.
Also loved how Mutta changed his plans after hearing Serika's opinion hahahaha.
The next episode seemed fun, seems like Mutta will be training with two big personalities.
Her character design resembles the actress Michelle Rodriguez a lot!

Hibito is back. YAY! It was nice to see Serika and Kitamura once again. Also, this soundtrack is so amazing:

The next episode looks promising. I can't wait to see Michelle Rodriguez, lol.

Finally, Hibito passed the test. Looking forward to Mutta's training. His new crewmates looks interesting. And yeah, the girl really looks like Michelle Rodriguez. Haha.

Hibito is back, Mutta killed his sides and... and... the feels.
This serie is fabulous. I am kind of content when I see that we are a few (hundreds) people that still follow Uchuu Kyoudai ; I mean not like OP or Naruto... we are part of this great show. Anyway...

Oh man, that flashback at the start, every time they show any part of that I freeze up. SO wonderful seeing Damian and company with him again. It was so very sweet. ;_; Such good feelings at that jump!

Episodes like this make Uchuu Kyoudai worth it. Too often it feels like the show is just dragging out the story, which is frustrating, but it is great at delivering an emotional payoff at the end of every arc. Next arc looks like it will be fun.

Actually I think this show does fairly well in Japan in terms of viewership. Every now and then it cracks the top ten broadcast anime in the ratings... Usually in position 9 or 10, but that still is something many shows can only envy.

For anime that has very few of the normal tropes (no battles, no fanservice, no major romantic themes), and featuring almost entirely adult characters (especially adult mains), cracking the top 10 seems like quite an accomplishment indeed. I'm extremely happy that it is popular though, because I'm sure that's one of the reasons we've been able to watch over 90 episodes so far in an ongoing anime. I'm sure the relatively low cost of their animation helps too.

I think running to go support Hibito is cool, but from a manly perspective NOT running to see him is also kind of cool, especially if your reason for doing so is that you have absolute confidence in your brother's success. That perspective probably doesn't score as many points with Serika though, which is the most important thing, lol.

Saw that rice on serika's face. I was hoping mutta would pick it or at least attempt to notice and fail, oh well.

Sigh, now that I finally caught up, I have to wait a week for the next episode... So tempted to read manga now lol

Awesome! Hibito's back in action :D Great moment with his crewmates coming to help him and cheering him on :) Plus he got through that extra green card from Gates too :3
Aww poor Mutta ... didn't make it in time eh? :P Well at least you got some bonus points from Serika ;P Thought he would have stayed behind for a bit though but I guess he didn't ...
Looks like we'll be seeing some more of the crew members and Mutta next episode! :D

Gah I teared up when Damian came to help Hibito.
So many feels that I can't hold them in. ;_;

Congrats to Hibito though!
Quite a few things are resolving themselves at this point.

That quote is iconic this episode. Good for Hibito. I am glad he is able to overcome that panic disorder of his.

That was a nice turn of events with Mutta calling the Moon crew to support Hibito
Serika is quite the glutton with her lunch, the brocoli even resembles the hairstyle of Mutta
Even her office has pictures of meals pinned above her desk

Space Brothers does so much well. The last episode and the first part of this episode was very intense for a slice of life sort of show, and the support that came later was very gratifying/heartwarming, especially in contrast to Gates giving Hibito the cold shoulder.

Mutta running to support Hibito was pretty cool. He should have went to talk to him anyway. >.>

Only eight more episodes. Nooooooo. ;-;

Didnt expect Hibito's crew mates to appear and even helped him out! Was it Mutta's idea?

Awww it could've been nice if Hibito saw Mutta but I guess Mutta left before Hibito could see him. Funny how he made the decision to see Hibito after Serika said she thinks those kinda things are cool XD

At the underground water thing I see that they're already making use of Mutta's plan for solar panels? And in that lecture Mutta was in, that vehicle reminds me of Mutta's time with NASA's engineers in 9N (or N9??)!

Damian!! What a bro. And what a fantastic episode!
I'm glad to see Hibito back and I'm glad they didn't just blow over his recovery. They showed that it's not just something you can "get over" at will.

Now the question is, will Hibito and Mutta get to the moon at the same time? With only 8 episodes left??

I wonder whether Damien is having any psychological issues after his trauma, it would make sense.

Just like expected and hoped, Hibito is back on track!
