The new OP is glorious.

Hmm. I want to comment on Olga's performance, but I don't know anything about ballet, so I don't think I will.

I want to see vol.2 as well. :)

Really nice episode :)

Good to see Hibito getting enlightened ^^
He'll definitely break through after seeing that :D

Liked Olga's dance. It was pretty beautiful.

I wonder if Olga will actually end up with Hibito? It's not really that impossible hehe.

Well can't wait for nxt ep.

I loved the backstory of Olga, also it's nice to see Hibito starting to gain confidence to heal himself.

And yes, the new OP is fabulous.

I think they will but in not less than 4 or 5 years considering how young Olga is.

This episode really flew by, a nice story of how perseverance can pay off. "The more difficult the performance, the more beautiful it is." That really came through for me, Uchuu never ceases to move me.

That was a pretty touching episode. Olga's back story was quite fitting and a nice change of pace for the show, I somehow feel refreshed and motivated now...

Ivan's text was beautiful. xD; As I figured, I warmed up to Olga some after seeing her backstory. And in that process I'm glad it has helped Hibito see things differently.

Well, i want to see more of space training not some ballet concerts with cheap ass decorations and stereotypical matryoshka doll and cccp signs to show that hibito is in Russia. When Mutta story started to get interesting they swiched it to this boring arc.

Lol, this happens because Hibito can't recover from his illness doing the space training.
I agree about Mutta's story more interesting though.

Imagine sweaty after-dance Olga in dressing room and Hibito barges in wearing rabbit-ears and starts yelling "I saw you on video............ and Hibito is cured. Afterwards he drinks some mad vodka with Olga's proud dad and proceeds on Mars mission.

Well I think I heard Hibito's heart go doki doki all over the place when Olga made her grand entrance. I am so shipping them right now, though I suspect it will be some years before he seals the deal. And this episode really only seemed about five minutes long which was a good thing. Now that we've seen the relevance of Mr. Hibbit to Olga and Hibito's meeting we really don't need to watch those two minutes at the end of the real episode any more, right?
Please don't feed the trolls!

I've hated a lot of the past few arcs, but the past couple episodes finally are back to the Space Bros I missed so much. Even the newest OP and ED feel so much better.

I wish Olga was a bit older, I really do like the idea of Hibito having a love interest. He's never seemed the type, but it came off as like they would be good together - especially with how much she's ending up helping him with his PTSD, so I wouldn't mind shipping them if she wasn't a kid.

He probably edited it out because it objectified women and he moderates based on his personal morals.

Nah. It was romantic consenting sex scene involving Hibito finding his latent sexuality after seeing loli-Olga on tape. Nothing objectifying at all.

I enjoyed this episode, but time and time again this anime resorts to cheap and/or cliché tricks for the plot/direction, like when they make udon, the wind shield, here depicting Olga as the alpha moon bride, the giant Russian dolls earlier. However enjoyable that show may be, it'll never achieve greatness for me.

Haha Olga was so cute when she was younger :P See I guess this is what happens when you get an inspirational speech and keep working hard! Olga's mom painting her nails was really cute :O
Aww Ivan you're so awesome XD Especially with the "I'm a nice guy ... nah, I'm not a nice guy" thing lol :P Convinced Hibito to drink with you after all huh? No doubt wanted to inspire Hibito with those films of his daughter ... it's working! Right? :O Well I mean, he DID do some drunk dancing ... that was pretty funny XD
Uh oh, Hibito's running out of time for his rehab eh? >_< Hope he figures this out soon ... you can do it!

Ah good episode. It really focused on Olga a bit and I think the moral was that everyone's dream begins with the very first step. (for Olga, it's literal)

Ivan Tolstoy giving a disc of loli bait content to Hibito felt kind of inappropiate
The true meaning of Ivan was clever showing Hibito and extra can become a star with hard work

Meeting Olga at her ballet prime years is fortunate, similar to gymnastics the aging really declines 25/30+
Also nice to know they didn't perform the overdone Swan Lake

I thought Hibito trying to do the ballet drunk was kinda funny. I liked the change in storytelling method with Olga's backstory, being a firsthand recording that allows Hibito to reflect on his situation. The contrast between her rough start and present triumph was excellent.

I lament their age difference. I wouldn't mind seeing a little romance in this.

Superb episode.

I wish Olga was at least 20. I know a lot of Japanese comment that white people "look mature" for their age but I really want to ship Hibichov and Olga but feel awkward about it :(

True that once she's older it's not that big a deal, but she's not older now so... it's kind of weird.

Episode 77 - An Astronaut's Daughter:

"This is really painful... Can't I do something easier?" (Olga) "But you know, Olga... If you take the easy way out, do you think the audience will like it? There's a lot of hard work behind the scenes before someone's ready for the stage. Is ballet difficult?" (Olga's Mother) "Yeah." (Olga) "Of course it is... Then keep this in mind. The more difficult the performance... The more beautiful it is." (Olga's Mother)

Hard hit on Hibito, he now can overcome any obstacle no matter how difficult it is. He needed some type of motivation.

Olga started as the worst ballet dancer and she ended being the start of the play.

5/5

Ok Olga nice. I hope she stays right now at least as someone who inspires and helps Hibito over his panic attacks. I don't mind Hibito having a love interest actually would love for him to have one but my only problem with Olga would be she's too young right now. If she was older or they waited a few years until she's not a literal highschooler I think it could work. Idk why they made her 15.
