Ahh, I really enjoy watching this series!
I'm happy that Mutta can at least be a no.2 at something!
I like the embarassing astraunaut suit scene! There is some development between him and the woman. :P

And I hope Mutta is doing well in the next test... :S

Well, I'm expecting so, as he's the protagonist? XD

He's humiliated... XD

I really love this series and I'm very glad I decided to watch it after all!

Great episode as usual :) Love how they handled the development with the girl. So many flashbacks intertwined in the story <3

Felt so short though! Can't wait for next week :P

I agree with all of you. I just started watching it today. So glad i saw 3 episodes back to back. This really might be the best anime this season.

This show is so relaxing I'm tempted to read the manga.

This is how you do character development.

I knew i recognized that voice of Mutta. Same voice as for Sanji(One Piece). lol

Haha, "I'll save it for later." Another excellent episode of an amazing show. The attention to detail is impressive, the humor is great, and I love the characters. This will definitely be a favorite of mine if it can consistently deliver as it has been.

Were some funny moments in this episode.
I'm looking forward to him going to space with his little brother (if it will even happen).

That series is lovelly :)
I really like it - great characters and likable ones, no jerkass attitude here and that's a plus
also those interactions

so I won't be original and it's one of best series this season (along with Pirates for me - but those are quite similar I must say)

This show not only has an unusual story and setting, it also has such a great cast of characters who are understated in their humour and moe-ness. It's entertaining and educational.

I can see why this isn't getting enough love on MAL. *sigh*

This anime stands out from the other animes this season is because it has heart.

I think that Mutta is a very amiable character and seeing him persevere to achieve his dream of going to space with Hibito despite the odds, I am not ashamed to say that I felt inspired by it in real life.

The flashback scene from Serika-san's childhood with her father was very sweet and it parallels nicely with Mutta in the present.

And she surprisingly is very child-like in her speech with her mum and in writing her diary, i think she's a very pleasant character. Those few scenes in this episode with her alone makes like her even more. Hope that there's a possible romance between Serika-san and Mutta.

ps: Did you know that there will be a live-action movie for Uchuu Kyoudai starring Shun Oguri (from Crows Zero) as Mutta to be released in Japan in May 2012?

Kenji and Serika are great supporting characters -- if this is really a four-cour series, then the burden of carrying the story is going to be just as much on them (and other supporting characters) as on Mutta and Hibito.

Never expected this anime to be funny but all 3 eps so far have made me laugh out loud at least 2-3 times. Another great ep. Loving the occasional Slumdog Millionaire style moments where it flashes back during a test to show why he can complete it (like the running and the lung capacity tests.)

Easily my favorite new show of the season and each episode has been great so far. How can you not love Mutta? He's so easy to identify with and root for. Nice job providing some dimension to Serika's character. Nicely done. Can't wait for more.

Good like always. People who can pick up the manga should do so. I need to catch up once I have time to do so.

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

The manga is great but there's really not a whole lot to pick up or catch up on at this point. Only 11 chapters are out and the time between chapter 10 and chapter 11 being released was over two months.

Hopefully that picks up with the anime being out, but yeah. No rush.

Great episode, but I can't help but feel a bit disturbed by Serika comparing Mutta to her father. It would be fine and all if it wasn't so obvious that they're going to have some sort of romantic relationship. I mean I get that some women fall for men similar to their father and some men fall for women similar to their mother, but it's so.. creepy..

And that prostate exam (I'm guessing?) scene in the beginning was amazingly funny.

Another decent episode from the space bros show. Btw i was gonna comment on how is nice not to have a shcool kid as main and then i remember the last time i wrote such thing was in Tiger and Bunny first episode and then i noticed how similar the character are and they even have the same voice actor.

Our guy definitely score a point with our girl and his silly antics. He has her father to thank for.

This is one of those very few anime you can never come to dislike! Another great episode! That's three in a row!

This anime might be overlooked by a large chunk of anime fans, but I am so damn glad I am following this!

And an added PLUS is the possibility of romance! I am such a sucker of romantic developments in anime! :P

With this it just became a definite must-watch of this season. I wasn't sure after 2nd ep which was kinda meh compared to 1st, but this was just awesome.
Mutta scored some points with Serika, and all thanks to her dad being awesome.

Uchuu Kyodai is as good as it gets in terms of SF, slice-of-life and grown-up comedy. Plus as someone already pointed out earlier, it has heart. It's really one of the highlights of this year.

ME TOO! I found that really weird! But I'm not going to mind that since I want them to end up together... but it's too weird that she's seeing him as his father... well... not really.

I am even thinking too repetitive comment on that but it is undeniable that this was another great episode.

Mutta is really hilarious. I found it very funny scene examination and prostate Mutta thinking about the girl at the time the doctor asked him to take off his clothes and calling his attention to not get distracted.

The scene when he saw the girl looking at the space suit and vice versa was lovely. It was too obvious that they must have some romantic involvement further ahead and admit that I was very happy with it If this couple can continue offering us with funny scenes in this episode as I have nothing to complain.

Uchuu Kyoudai for now is by far the best anime this season and hope to remain so until the end.

I find it hard to not relate to Mutta, having made it past initial screening processes. Now he's in a spot where he's clearly not not the top candidate and as a result, he loses confidence and starts to panic. I've been in that situation many times, and I'm looking forward to see how he overcomes it.

But that Kenji guy... reminds me of Phoenix Wright, and some other guy who I can't remember.

I'm loving this show, it's aimed at the right audience, it's light hearted and it's so pure that you can't help but fall for the show.

The subtle funny moments, the different views of the people doing it and the dream, It's alot like my dream to be successful in Business instead this is for Space :)
