DAMN YOU SPACE BROTHERS AND YOUR CLIFF-HANGERS!#$#$!%&
You just had to do it, waste this episode’s time with damned toilet paper. You just had to build up and drag on this episode long enough with mundane stuff for there to be no time left for the actual phone calls of JAXA. You just had to time it right at when Kenji got his answer. You just had to tease us like that. AaAaargh!!
Seriously, not since Giant Killing have I gotten so worked up over a simple cliff-hanger. I mean this episode was just so good. It was wonderful to see the astronauts relax on the moon and chit-chat, Mutta’s adventure in the supermarket had me in stitches (and besides, how often do you see characters just do groceries in anime? It’s such a good way to flesh them out). I already was in an incredibly good mood with this series when suddenly out of nowhere it skipped five days to the JAXA phone calls. I Yelled at my screen when I realized how the creators were in that evil mood again to stop right at the worst possible time.
With this, I also realized that this episode had some quiet moments that were quite peculiar. Moments in which nobody just said anything for a few seconds, but their expressions said so much about what they felt.
Rating: 6/8 (Awesome)
I bet you we won’t know how Mutta did in the next episode, I just know it!
I have the same suspicions, since the next episodes seems to focus on Kenji.
I reallly love all the comedy moments in Space Brothers.
For some reason the omedeto salesman with his bell ringing up and down Mutta was hilarious. obvious he was going to win toilet rolls (or some other cheapy prize) though!
