Man this episode was soo good :D Had a smile on my face throughout the whole Mutta-Hibito conversation. Mutta is just the best big brother u could hope for ^^

The nightmare at the start was quite scary.

The way he reacted saying if a carefree person like u gets it then I worry about my future lol and how he said PD=Pretty Dog and u just need to imagine Apo XD
I can see Hibito owning the test now :D He'll laugh the PD off with Apo's stupid face hahaha.
Mutta saying that getting it in the taxi from a dream is for the best and his reasoning was so awesome ^^ Really great bromance this ep.

Nxt ep seems the one whose going to the moon will be announced. >.< I really have no idea how this will go.

OP & ED were pretty nice. Pretty upbeat compared to normal ^^

New Year episode, and really great one. But new opening is a let down, last song was better.

I wonder if it's okay having such an opening. Not that it's bad, but not quite the Uchuu Kyoudai feel to it. Ending is OK too.

Great way to start off the season, with an Uchuu Kyoudai episode. Since everything was on hold this week.

I loved that talk between Hibito and Mutta.

And I freakin' love this expression. :>


From the preview... Kenji is selected?? Or am I misinterpreting?

That nightmare, what a punch to the gut. D: When Hibito stalked talking about his panic attacks with Mutta I stopped breathing. I'm so glad he was finally able to tell his brother and yet at the same time it hurt to see him talking about it. And ahhh, that definite line again, I loved seeing it before a year ago and I extra love it now. Mutta is so wonderful. ;_;

While I didn't care for the OP song I loved the visuals as usual, what a beautiful ship Mutta is. xD The ending was nice as well, although I do prefer the previous one.

Oh god I love Uchuu Kyoudai and I love Mutta who can always give the best advice, and I'm glad Hibito finally talked to him.

I'm looking forward to see the test of Hibito and from the preview it looks Serika will be back <3

New OP/ED, expected a bit more from Space Bro opening and ending. They've always been so good, but these two were quite different.
Seems like Serika will be back in the next episode!

The beginning scene with Hibito panicking in the taxi was really powerful and emotional, I know that feeling all too well and it's like your mind says "get over it", but your body refuses to comply.

"Here comes the PD...Pretty Dog!"

Mutta is always crazy but there's a method to his madness. Also like how he pointed out that the problem wasn't the spacesuit. "The spacesuit is on our side." Looks like that could have been the revelation Hibito needed to get ready for his exam.

That heartfelt talk between the Nanba brothers reminded me why I love this series.

Woooooooow. This episode was worth the wait. Even the art looked more polished and nicer. So glad that Hibito finally talked with Mutta, and that "Spacesuit is on our side" line was superb.

Can't wait to find out who's going to the moon in the next episode.

Regarding the new op/ed. I really loved the previous ending, from the instant I first heard it, but this one wasn't great. The new OP seems ok though.. the animation is good for it.

Mutta, you are such cool big brother!
I really like Mutta/Hibito moment!
I thought Hibito test was real... xD
Now after this I pretty sure Hibito will pass the test!

I did not expect New Year Wishes ! *.*
How nice of authors for making this!

But I don't really like new op and ed...
Well... I think like with most of UK themes,
I will start it, after for some time...

Oh! I almost forget about "Appo's anime crush" xD
Kinda cute :)

Wow the anime they get on tv. Mr.Hibbit, Pretty Dog, amazing.

Although he says the suit isn't the cause, the panic was of him in a dream in a suit, so that may not be the case exactly..

But good ep, anime is saving Hibito's life here.

I love how in character everyone stays in this show. Mutta didn't suddenly deliver a bone deep, well thought out speech, instead he stays light (almost insultingly so lol) and doesn't make a big deal out of it, which imo is the key to lessen the kinds of anxieties where people dread what their surroundings think if they lose control/have an attack/etc.

I know most people don't have their careers hanging on the line, but since Hibito has proven he can put a suit on and stay in it in a low stress environment, the only thing he seems to need now is to keep his stress level low, and the talk with Mutta I think helped with that.

All in all this PD arc with Hibito makes NASA look pretty damn wasteful. What, they can't dedicate a psychologist/-iatrist to an astronaut in his prime, allowing all that training to go down the drain? Ehh, w/e, artistic licence and all that.

I wonder who gets to go on the moon mission in next week's episode :)

Omg!! Mutta O______O If you didn't said those words, I wouldn't able to observe it... :))
Mutta: "You seem to be concerned that you had an attack in a taxi. But I think you should be relieved. "
Hibito: huh? why?
Mutta: " That means the spacesuit isn't causing the attacks... We grew up dreaming about spacesuits. The spacesuit is on our side."

Wow! Great new OP and ED :D Loving how there seem to be more new ones recently :P
Ah, so finally Hibito talks to Mutta ... after hearing both Azuma and Brian give him the same advice :P LOL at "Pretty Dog" ... well, I gotta say I think Mutta gave some good advice while staying very "Mutta"-like. I thought he was gonna tell Hibito to think "It's a piece of cake!" but thinking of Pretty Dog works too eh :P Plus the thing about being relieved and that the spacesuit's on their side ... that was really nice :')
I'm confident Hibito can complete the test next episode! The nightmare at the beginning was pretty scary ... oh gosh :S Plus it seems like Butler will be announcing where everyone's going ... judging from the preview it looks like Mutta makes it ... but what about Kenji ...?!

-Do you know what PD stands for?
-Pretty Dog.

God damn it Mutta! LOL
Then he says some pretty awesome inspiring things like the spacesuit being on their side.


That ending with Hibito reversing the line when he asked the taxi driver, goes to how similar these brothers actually are.

Anyway, i'm glad that he finally told Mutta about it.

Hibito scared me for a moment with his dream and attack afterwards in the taxi
Luckily he had some bro to bro talks with Brian, Azuma and Mutta last

PD abbreviation made the disorder more light comparing to the other ones
Mutta had some very good advice and remarks of Hibito's taxi ride as well

This is one of my favorite episodes, to be honest. The beginning with Hibito's panic attack was intense, and the brother-to-brother talk felt natural. I like how Mutta managed to be inspiring without becoming overly serious.

"Pretty Dog" was a good idea.

YAY finally he told Mutta! LOL Mutta's reaction, when he said he imagined it happening to sensitive people not happy-go-lucky Hibito XD

And here I thought the title "pretty dog" would only have something to do with that ad and apo, but turns out it plays a more prominent role~

Mutta's words are so 'simple' and yet even I can feel the impact/significance (like a revelation "oh!)" when he said it. Especially that part when he said the spacesuit is on their side.

SO happy to see Hibito's smile at the end, hopefully he'll do good for the test!

Oh and I wonder what did the chief said to Mutta??? (this happened before the talk with Hibito at the pub right)

i really wanted to know what butler will tell mutta, but then came this episode, for good though.

for first time maybe we see mutta's as big brother, and though i suspected he will give bad ideas, he did the work fine, especially with what he told him in the outside of the pub.

really great episode, and i hope for mutta to pass it.

the preview managed to confuse me as hell, but at least i know that next episode we will have answers about mutta and kenji.

"Why?" is a good question, one which is hard to answer because the reluctance stems from the fact that they're siblings, and those inevitably just struggle talking to each other about their problems. Siblings constantly compete, and to vent your problems is akin to admitting you're the inferior one. Knowing Hibito is the child of the two, clearly for him to consult to his dependable, wise, and mature big brother was hard. It's an innate thing, really.

This episode really reminded me why I love this show so much.
