Just a week before Mira leaves Earth?! But seriously, I was not expecting the confession and kiss scene this episode. Was expecting it to be more in the finale.

Episode felt a little rushed but makes it clear that she and Takumi cares about each other, the least well kept secret in the show.

It was not a bad guess. But I don't want space battle slapstick at the final episode.

A big budget harmless family-friendly anime that's not only exciting but also embracing diversity with original story that's not based on any existing franchise. I admire a "high risk, low return" of the creator. It's not gonna go viral or get a lot of money, but I'll remember its name.

Really wasn't expecting a confession of love and a kiss in this one i would've thought they would save it for the final episode. It was really cool seeing the lodge transform into a spaceship.

Holy! this episode is wild!
The revelation, confession, incursion and most importantly the transformation!

The space battle is going to be good just based on the preview alone, the budget was spend wisely.

The key was actually behind the mailbox all along?! Bruh. It was under their noses all along.

A farewell party for Mira and Shoin. It's the least the Astro Lodge tenants could do for her. I felt bad for them cause the news came outta nowhere.

Shit went from 0 to 100 really fast in this episode.

First off, I KNEW that Shoin was a Hubby spy or something like that. Looks like I was right all along! The bastard deserves to have his shit kicked in.

Second, a confession AND a kiss in the same episode?! That's bold. But it felt a bit rushed IMO.

Finally, the Astro Lodge itself was actually a Wido spaceship AND a giant robot at the same time all along!? Wtf. Shit's wild.

And now, all the tenants know Naosuke's secret. I kinda feel bad they got caught up in this mess. But that's just how it goes in these types of anime.

The next episode will be the end. I would've loved more episodes of this tbh. But I know that that wouldn't happen cos of the show's unpopularity. At least the story will likely be finished in the next episode. I hope after the space battle we will get some sort of epilogue like Maison Ikkoku.

SO MANY GREAT DEVELOPMENTS! It was satisfying to see Shoin get his comeuppance from Miyasaka! The hose mech transformation at the end was beautiful. I wonder where Ren was during the house transformation. The reveal of the Hubbies being fish people was also hilarious. Solid ep, I just hope Aoi gets a happy ending because she deserves better than Shoin. But then again, maybe she can fix him?

We're having a full-blown mecha/space battle next week?! The transformation sequence and the (generally) 2D look was a lot of fun. I hope they keep it that way.

I predict we'll see a love hotel mecha piloted by Shoin.

I had a guess Shoin was the one behind the attacks but, what the hell just happened just happened lmao

This remembers me of the bullshit Trigger does in their last scenes, everything is going fine but BAM, SPACE FIGHT!
For this case I never took this anime seriously anyways so I actually look forward to whatever is going to happen.

We got the confession and kiss. Hell yeah! The ship finally sailed. Mira x Takumi. Really happy for them, love em. They key reacted to their love. The astro lodge was the spaceship which was also a mecha all along. The transformation sequence was cool. Shoin being a villain was no surprise but he was a wuss too. Takumi kicked his ass. Also Aoi x Naosuke?

What an episode, epic. Really hyped for the finale.

I suspected that Shion had an ulterior motive for coming to Earth and his plan was to kidnap Mira and bring her to the Hubbies once they have found the key. Who would have thought that Mira and Takumi's love confession was the literal key to unlocking its power and the Astro Lounge was a Wido spaceship the entire time. Looks like we are getting a heated mech battle in the finale between the Imperial Guardian and the Hubby fleet.

More and more this has continued to remind me of Lilo & Stitch. Down to the general marine-themed design of the aliens. But especially the consistent message of the value and importance of found families and people/creatures from different walks of life and entire origin in terms of even different species and from different planets coming to understand each other and define their idea of family in a way that works best for them.

Just with a slightly stronger focus/emphasis on romance versus more coming-of-age.

That's not a complaint though. It's among my favorite and in the top echelon of Disney films from my perspective.

And in that spirit, I wonder if Aoi, after being gently jilted, will end up with Naosuke now.

It would also be interesting to see all the Astro Lodge residents get in on the action regarding the final battle. And then maybe serve up that piscine emperor for breakfast, either grilled or steamed. Or maybe the rival alien faction wins and Earth is completely leveled and destroyed in the end, and they all are forced to flee as refugees and start a new life either on Mira's planet or somewhere else. I'm fine with whatever really.

Also, I expected the Sci-Fi elements to become more overt toward the end, by the finale if not the penultimate episode or before, known to at least all the Astro Lodge residents if not the broader country or world, but didn't expect it to go full-on mecha Super Robot. So that is interesting.

Great episode. Some of the developments towards the end felt a little rushed, but overall good. I like how each character is not forgotten and gets a little bit of time to shine. Seems like Shoin was working with the Hubby spies too. I'm surprised but glad Mira and Takumi got to kiss. Looking forward to the finale!

@phantomfandom This is exactly how I feel about this show, and why I love a lot of anime originals. Not every anime has to be some mind blowing manga adaptation for me to appreciate it (in my opinion

What a banger for the 2nd to last episode! I was laughing at the end with the giant robot. Do we get another twist for the final episode? Been a great ride so far this season. Looking forward to the end!

The key is finally found...and where could it be?

Takumi drawing up a makeshift sign, and by chance, the big key is behind the mailbox of all places. That means Mira, Shoin and Naosuke can finally go back to Planet Wid, but Mira only has a week before she leaves, so making umeshu and going to the aquarium on her last day on Earth is the plan. A secret gathering between the residents of Astro Lodge for Mira's farewell party, it's thanks for her time in the residence, but Aoi's clearly being flustered about Takumi and his date with Mira, whilst the prep are all in place, from performing Terurun's dance song for the party to Mira perfecting her cooking.

Other than Ren's friend being coincidentally surprised that he loves wearing skirts, Mira has gotten better at her cooking, though the plot of Shoin finally revealing his true colours once the secret of the key is out, a conspiracy to kidnap Mira in the box goes out of hand, and the love confession and kiss I'll admit feels rushed, though the lodge being a Wid mecha spaceship in and of itself is a rather ambitious plot to go to space.

Yeah, this feels inherently rushed, but I hope that the space battle between Wid and Hub gets resolved one way or another.

A lot of things happened in the last few minutes. Shion was a traitor (I didn't expect it), Aoi found out who eight is, Ren's friend found out that he wears a skirt, Mira will stay with Miyasaka, and there will be a battle in space against the husbands. Indeed, it is cinema.


Spanish translation:
Muchas cosas pasaron en los últimos minutos. Shion era un traidor (no lo esperaba), Aoi descubrió quien es ocho, el amigo de Ren descubrió que usa falda, Mira se quedara con Miyasaka, y habrá una batalla en el espacio contra los esposos. En efecto, es cine.

This is the week of the most sensational episode, several animals that are doing very well but the climax was missing and this episode of Astro Note showed this, it was incredible, first to see him finding the key, then the main couple trying to say goodbye normally, Aoi discovering that Naousuke it was the guy she had fallen in love with in room eight, Shion being a traitor and it was all just a setup for him to take Mira to her husbands' planet, but our protagonist arrives to save his beloved and beats the traitor and He still declares himself in a spectacular way and Mira also declares herself and finally gets the kiss which was beautiful. And in the end we see the invasion of our husbands' planet to Earth and that our couple will fight him with a megazord hahaha out of nowhere the mansion turns into a megazord. SENSATIONAL

Criminally underrated anime. The last episode being a space battle shouldn't really be a shock show started off in space. Love that the key is straight up viable in the intro and also appears within the first 1 1/2 minutes of the show's first episode. The house turning into a mech? peak anime.
