| LOL insurance has only gotten worse in the future it seems. |
| Random. Did they explain why there was a "insurance season" . . . I thought they started to but then got distracted. Anyways, I'm wondering when the actual plot will kick in, it still seems to be on the "introduction" phase. |

| Pretty good so far. Love the soundtrack. Love the art, environment & character designs are to my taste. Pirating_Ninja said: Random. Did they explain why there was a "insurance season" . . . I thought they started to but then got distracted. Anyways, I'm wondering when the actual plot will kick in, it still seems to be on the "introduction" phase. Insurance season comes with will season, i.e., when employees are forced to think about their death and what possible consequences it might have on their relatives/friends/lovers. Which maces them more likely to be persuaded into buying insurance. How did you not get that? |

| Wow Tanabe is *bleep*ing annoying. My friend recommended this series, said it's good (if the rating is to be believed then I guess it is) but he never told me the female MC is going to be this insufferable. She's like the female counterpart of shounen action leads "you're wrong and I'm right so I'll force my ideals on you." |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| I can understand that people like Tanabe exist in the real world but that doesn't mean it's fun to watch them spread their silly idealistic bullshit. I honestly hope she dies a painful death from space aids. |
 |
| Tanabe's idealistic views didn't make sense; I can see why people find her annoying here. |
| I walk a lonely road because everyone else fell off |
| Just parroting what has been said. Tanabe is soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying. Holy shit lol. She blindly throws her ideals at people. I just want to punch her in the ovaries. I really really hope she grows out of this. The insurance vultures were pretty funny though. |
| Too much "drama". 3/4 and I hope that it will be more episodes like 1st and 2nd. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Nice one Mihalkov. Absolutely_Steve said: Okay, I'm sick to death of the main character after only three episodes. Dropped. Yet you didn't drop Evangelion? It's perfectly understandable why everyone hates the MC. She's annoying because she's a female, that's that. And I'm sure that's what the creator had in mind as well. Of course ONLY UNTIL a certain point in the series. If she doesn't change, well, shit. But the original creator made Vinland Saga, and Vinland Saga is rated high, so that says something I guess. |

| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Well yep, this is one annoying main character. |
| Tanabe might be 'annoying' to some, but its more due to her naivety and not being 'street smart' enough compared to the others around her. One thing that always made the relationship between the two MC's so special is how conflicting they are at the start. Hachi is more realistic in the sense, whereas Tanabe is more idealistic. It really doesn't get any better than this. Its the best 'love conquers all' theme I've seen in an anime. |
Kagami_Hiiragi said: Idc if you think its weird, I have a life and friends and an income of money. |
| I know its hardly original but Tanabe is really irritating. If she doesn't change for the better real quick I'm dropping this. Don't need her shrieking idiocy wasting my time. I'd like to actually WANT to see the MC again you know? |
 |
| ...wow so much butthurt over THREE EPISODES of a 26 episode anime it's not like there are 23 episodes left for Tanabe to...what's the word...oh, right, develop oh wait wait yes yes there are |
godspeedspike said: I'm going to be very unoriginal and say that Tanabe pisses me off as well. I don't have a problem with her having ideals, but I can't stand how she tries to force them onto people. She didn't get fired, but I would've punched her right in the face for what she did. Throwing a tantrum in space, what the hell? I agree. Basically, it is fine to have a character like this. You know the typical opposing ideas till they find a common ground type of thing. But her character has been annoying since the first episode. I literally can't stand it anymore so I'm dropping it and according to the manga readers, dropping it because of her sounds like the right thing to do. If she is just going to be forcing her ideals in every single episode. |
| This show is so preachy it's almost nauseating. Hopefully the show will improve. |
| Defeating a sandwich, only makes it tastier |
| Geez... What an annoying bi*ch, main character should just ignore her instead of arguing. But eh.. I guess I'll give it a chance for a few more episodes. |
 |
| Getting Nagged: The Animation I absolutely despise characters who keep shoving their ideals and beliefs down other people's throats until they get their way. Pretty sure that was one of the main issues I had with Patlabor.... |
 |
| Those damn salesmen. The more annoying they are, the more tempting it is. It's like somekind of reverse psychology. Ai sure is an idealist... It is kinda wrong to not respect one will, but she was kinda right at the same time. It only really matter for the close one once you're dead. If a will would only make the one who are still alive sad, it's probably better to not respect it. After all, it's not like the dead will complain about it. |

| Eeh. I'm not really finding this very engaging so far. I mean, it's not bad or even necessarily average. I'm thinking it might not be for me though. It's not necessarily because of Tanabe either, btw, although I thought she was way too forceful with her opinion. I'm speaking in general sense. |
| I love it so far except Tanabe, how she force her vision of rightfulness onto people believing that only herself is right is bullshit, it's extremely annoying, hope she stop with that ! |
| Turns out you have to prepare a last will every year if you want to work in space. Many pushy insurance guys use this chance to reap the workers on the station. How many insurance guys are aboard this station, though? It's a nest of them somewhere. Maybe 10% of the passengers are insurance guys. Second half covered a kind of creepy aspect with finding the coffin floating in space. Maybe this is were Dead Space was invented^^. Really annoyed by Tanabe. She doens't seem to know her place. Even if her ideas may be correct she should be quiet and respect her seniors and that female relative of the dead guy. |

| OP Animation - 3.2/5 I LOL at Hachi last will was spaceship. It seems Tanabe didnt take it as a joke XD I dont think so. The corpse returned to Earth orbit by coincidence. Its still a mystery though. ED Animation - 2.7/5 3.6/5 |
 |
| I don't know what this Anime is trying to achieve with her "heartfelt" speeches but I want to punch her face. They were ordered to send the body to the moon and she disobeys orders because she's "following her heart". Bitch, do that when you need to but don't let that interfere with work. |
| Ugh, just when I thought Tanabe was getting tolerable. How fucking up your own arse do you have to be to pull the stunts she's been doing since the beginning of this series. Sure, it's nice to be true to your own ideals and she might have been morally right, but she has clearly crossed the line here by constantly interfering with work and being uncooperative, disobeying her superiors orders and putting her team in needless danger, I have no idea how they haven't fired her yet. Anyway, other than Tanabe this episode was alright, the space insurance thing was a little annoying too (as it should be), but none of the drama in the second half had any weight at all. |

| Yeah, she is annoying. . . She feels like typical shounen MC who try to pushes her ideals to others. . . I could sense that since the 1st episode, but she was more annoying in this episode. . . But, oh well, I will continue watching it until the end since anime about space is hard to find. . . OT : so, the insurance staff won lol. . . |

| More episodes like this means the story isn't taking itself in a mature way. Why these kids are astronauts anyway? smh. |
| I think I just got idea how I want to be buried. Its awsome idea that your body will be floating in space forver( If you can leave galaxy ofc ). And they just profanated that man will why? Because someone put photo of the man's family with him to the coffin( Ye you can be sure he did not put it himself :f )? |

| I thought this was really good, i guess most disagree. |
| One of the best feel episodes I've ever seen. I get that the mc is an annoying bitch, but the episode wouldn't have been that impactful without her. I think I've also never seen an anime adapt the struggle of writing a will letter. This anime nailed the feeling. |
| This one was so good! Well, I knew that the job was dangerous, but seeing that they need to submit a last will every year, it is even more dangerous than what I thought. It was a really cool, and poignant theme to work with though: death, and what you want to leave behind. Tanabe let her emotions get in the way though. She was pushing her vision on others, treating a coincidence as a miracle; but by doing it she gave that woman the chance to see that her father cared about her, and her mother after all, he only cared more about space, which is still kind of sad. But I liked what Hachimaki said, that "even in death he wasn't capable of breaking free from gravity", which is a bit ironic. I can't put it well into words, but this episode was truly meaningful. The people from the insurance agencies were annoying though. |

| The MC is beyond annoying. If the photo is supposed to be a proof that he did love his family and wanted to be buried on Earth, then it's bullshit. It wasn't him who put it into his coffin! It wasn't instructed in his will, 'cause his family wasn't mentioned at all. He died with a smile on his face knowing that he will be buried in space. The MC just overwrote his wishes. |

| I try to like this show but it is hard because Tanabe is so damn annoying. |
| Wow, Tanabe sure is idealistic but it looks like this is exactly the dose that this group needed. I can’t really say much about the ‘truth’ regarding the dead man but I suppose she’s half-right although I’m surprised she hasn’t gotten fired yet. At least she’ll now realise what’s it like to take responsibility for what you sign up for, lol. Meanwhile, it seems as though the salespersons have won xD. Vice-manager literally got a student loan, lmfao. Anyway, the whole ‘writing will’ thing was absolutely spot-on. Having to do this yearly though, yikes this is some dangerous job for sure. We got a bit more of the desk worker, amidst all this, and damn she can be scary lol. Looks like we’ll follow the episodic rule before the plot starts progressing forwards, and I honestly have little to no qualms with that. Looking forward to more! |
