Space Brothers Discussion.

''Mutta's life has hit rock bottom. He's been fired, blackballed from his profession and now he's had to move back in with his parents. Meanwhile, his kid brother Hibito has been literally riding a rocket and training to be an astronaut. The same career Mutta once dreamed of. So, is it ever too late to go after your dreams? Through a little coercing and a bit of covert activity, Mutta's family and friends can get his resume on the right desk, but from that point on it will be up to Mutta himself. Does he have what it takes to turn his life around and put his footprint on the moon? The first step on the highway to the stars is always the hardest, and in a job where crash and burn isn't just a euphemism, it will be the biggest risk Mutta's ever taken. But with the best support team ever, maybe he'll find what he needs to rekindle the spark inside him and light the biggest candle of them all!''

Im curious if there is anyone else than Ovyda and me watching this. And i hope to have more people watching it in the future as this is 1 of the most underrated animes ever. I rate it as one of the best i have ever seen.

 

I doubt. It's a dubbed website after all...

 

There are quite alot of sub watchers aswell though.

 

Episode 56, wow....

 

@Supernatural-knight
@Ovyda

Since we are with 3 people now, we might actually be able to have a discussion now

Episode 66

Spoiler

Another great episode. I love this flying stuff. It feels as if i'm in the plane myself lol. That ending, those words from Deneil Young were great. And it's funny how Hibito looked up at the sky when Mutta flew by. Mutta did the same when Hibito flew by in the early episodes.

 

I never watch ED. Always when episode is done i click it away. Sometimes i get Ovyda telling me to go back because there was something after the ED

The OP is certainly better than the last one.

And it's not really out of character, might seem so, but we have only seen one side of him. This whole ending of the episode was different from how he usually is. I guess it's time for a bit of character development of Deneil Young He is a good man so caring about a bird fits him imo.

 

What do you guys think of last ep?

@Ovyda
@Supernatural-knight

 

I'm not watching anything at all beside cafe activities... Finished One Outs for AU, now watching Rainbow for DTR.

 

@batosai, great episode was great this show still manages to deliver brilliant scenes even after 69 episodes while others fail in 13 so it is impressive.To see Murasaki the ninja in the moon base still pulling pranks on others is awesome, can’t believe they actually fell for a moon spider though but that toy was awesome, I want one.
I’m actually a bit saddened by the fact that it skipped over 10 months to reach the end of Mutta’s training already as I did still want more Deniel screen time, but whatever the 68 year old retiree will still be in flashbacks I’m hoping. Oh and a Porco Rosso reference with his gift, hell yeah I didn’t think they’d do something like thatPic in case you don’t know who/what that isSpoiler:

And there was another reference which I’m forgetting now umm, nope no idea, little help?I am still really enjoying this series and even though this episode was shorter than usual it was for a good reason, Bato you need to watch after the credits for maybe a minute worth of Hibit the anime. Is it weird that I wouldn’t mind seeing this as a spin off extra either?
No i didnt see any of those references. And lmao at that Hibbit anime For some reason i read 10 months earlier than 10 months later. So things felt really strange to me. Luckily i understand evrything now Long running series are usually better to me than short ones so it's not a suprise for me.

 

@Supernatural-knight, about ep 70

Spoiler

What do you think? Did Mutta make the right decission? I myself think he did. His dream isn't the ISS and it's Serika's life goal. Especially after what Vince told him, i think he did the right thing. I totally didn't expect that from Vince. I thought he said something like ''you just screwed up your only chance''

 

Haha i watched Mr Hibbit I'm glad it's short tho i can't watch 20 min of this.

I actually wonder if Serika will go to the ISS. She is only back up right now. How likely is it that someone falls ill? Space Brothers does have that kind of disappointments, but on the other hand, they also have that little luck for the main characters and then pull it off perfectly. I do hope for her that someone gets ill.
I highly doubt she can save Sharon with it. Like you said she will have to test evrything out and stuff that takes way too much time and Sharon doesn't have that much time left. Look at how fast Serika's father passed away when he had it.

And after all Ovyda was right about Mutta ending up in the engineering part in NASA

 

Episode 71:

Spoiler

And i thought this was gonna be a laidback relaxed episode. Damn.. I feel so bad for Hibito, turns out that near death experience is showing it's problems now.

@supernatural-knight

 

Yeah considering the ending of this anime should include the two brothers on the moon. Maybe there's some kind of therapy for it that he should follow or something.
