----------------------------------------
the bother are at a photo-shoot for a magazine cover
Mutta gets at weird look for the photo-shoot
While Hibito has a bit of a troubled look during the photo-shoot in the space outfit

After Mutta asks Hibito some questions about the buggy he shares the info with the engineering group and decide that either upgrading the brakes or the tires is going to fix the problem.

Hibito goes to Russia for new training, but is secretly going to help with his panic disorder that Mutta doesn't seem to know about.

This ep reminded me that Hibito is just a normal human being XD

He's always seemed like a person who doesn't care no matter what happens to him and acts non-chalantly about it but seems I was wrong. Panic Disorder? O_o
Well, if u think about it...that certainly was a traumatic experience he went through there.

Hopefully he can get over it. Those 2 brothers need to get on the moon together :(

The Photo-shoot was nice :)

Lol'd at their parents and Ponzu XD

And Mutta is starting to find some ideas for the buggy. It shouldn't take long before he's all ready to put some ideas in action ^^

I always lol when I hear Conan doing the previous episode summary at the beginning.

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.

Finally, after 2 weeks.

So Hibito's panicking and he can't go to space now, this is somehow similar to Planetes. Despite that, his reactions are perfectly normal and understandable. I hope he's getting some kind of treatment soon.

Finally after 2 weeks! I knew something was wrong during the photoshoot :(

I like that even though Hibito miraculously got saved, now he's having issues and stuff to even out the field. I want the brothers to stand on the moon together. :)

Hm. Curious as to how Mutta will improve the buggy.

Can't wait for next episode like always, and I wonder how long the series will last? Hopefully a long time <3

Man, poor Hibito.
Even during the photo-shoot he was beginning to panic a bit. It seems though Hibito wants to get get passed this for the sake of him and Mutta's promise, so hopefully we'll see a recovery soon! I'm really curious as well what they'll do to fix the buggy, now that they know that it's not the brakes or tires that need to be improved.
Touch me, you filthy casual~

Psychological issues can take YEARS to overcome. I'm actually quite fine with this as Hibito can finally be brought down to mortal man status. His 'luck' factor had to run out/plateau sooner or later.

Mutta will become the new astronaut hot-ness as soon as he fixes the buggy.

Hopefully Serika will get a mission as primary crew soon after her role as back-up.

*Yes. I will admit that I'm still a bit bitter they didn't kill him off on the moon.*

Yeah, it reminded me Planetes too.

Anyway, I guess now Hibito is going to heal his disorder in Russia. I'm kinda happy that now we get to know more of Hibito's human side.

On a side note, what about the ending of this episode? Damn, brilliant.
Also, can't wait to see Mutta doing badass things with the others technicians.

P.s: Won't Serika ever know that she has the chance to board the ISS, only thanks to Mutta?

Last week was hell without this.

Poor Hibito has come down with a trauma, i hope he gets over it soon. I wonder if the photo shoot editor's concept of putting Mutta in a tie is the same as the authors, maybe we can finally drop the Mutta will become a NASA engr. and not an astronaut thing.

And it was like this last month too.

Hahaha, never change okaasan.

I really liked when then do the actual shooting of the spacesuit with necktie picture. So meta, and I love this picture.

Ah man, Hibito was having panic attacks? Nice, understandable twist. Like others said, it really brings to character development. In Planetes it was one of my favorite twists.

I love that Mutta didn't let seeing his brother drive off bring him down any. X3 And ahh, Hibito struggling again, it is in those moments where I feel closer to his character. And so oI find him more likable as bad as that sounds. D:

So Hibito is having panic attacks after his trauma, well to be expected, but he will get over them I'm sure.

Also look forward to Mutta's awesome buggy design.

Also I love this reference XD.

wow I hadn't seen the previews but I think the little short with Mr. Hibbit is really stupid.
I'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist...

I'm glad we're re-visiting Hibito's ordeal.
To almost die in space and just keep living at 100% normalcy doesn't or should I say shouldn't happen.

Photo shoot time! Nice to see that photo ... hopefully it'll happen for real eventually! ;3
Ah so Hibito is having panic attacks from what happened on the moon ... not entirely surprised. Wonder how he's going to get over them ... again, I expected he wouldn't want Mutta to be aware of it (but I'm guessing he already kind of knows a bit :P)
Looking forward to Mutta's design for the moon buggy! :P Haha "let's just ask them to teach astronauts not to drive off cliffs" ... if only it was that easy XD

Hibito is having panic attacks which is very understandable. I was wondering what that harrowing experience on the Moon would do to him. That was intense/scary.

Apo with the pants made me lol.

The idea of that photoshoot was clever, the results looks great as well
Mutta and Peter should get along fine with their love for the female gender
Knowing the brake system doesn't help any on the moon is quite interesting

Poor Hibito getting a panic disorder from that mission
Mr Hibbit is looking morelike an episode from Dr. Slump now, actually when looking at Mutta he does seem to resemble Dr. Slump

I'm glad the incident on the moon is still being treated as significant. It's completely understandable for someone to have issues after being in a situation like that. Hibito experienced what it was like to die from suffocation... It's hard to imagine.

Couldn't they place something akin to airbags on the underside of the rover to cushion a fall?

So many flashbacks and since the timeskip a few episodes ago. Recap shit at the start of every episode is longer too. Is A-1's budget running out? Mr. Hibbit has also shortened each episode by about 1 1/2 minutes as well. Sigh...

Argh dammit, no Hibito :(( But it's realistic that he develops some kind of trauma, I mean he almost died. I really want to see these 2 brothers standing together on the moon, both in persons.

Wow, seeing Hibito struggling with panic disorder is heartbreaking. He was always so confident and full of smiles... can't wait to see him overcome this. Even if he can't overcome it he's still a hero.

Hibito suffer from his accident of the moon. Can't blame him, he almost die. Hang in there Hibito!

Hibito might be cheerful and optimistic, but it's not surprising that he suffers from a panic dissorder after what he experienced on the moon, Mutta might think that Hibito is moving forward again, but it's the complete opposite, I hope he gets better in Russia.

I like the direction that we are taking with the rover development part and Mutta. However, I'm hoping this doesn't mean that we don't see Mutta on Moon by the end of the show.

Loved that part about the photo op haha

i actually would love for the anime to get more focus on mutta at this point, since he's really in rough spot, i want him to get out of the place, at the very least though this episode came to state where the two brothers stands in their way to the moon, and it doesn't look bright in both sides.

'till now we had thought that hibito couldn't do EVA due his accident, now it turns out the it's due his disorder the caused by the accident, which is really reasonable due what happened there.

I don't like that there's so little time left before the end of the series. And it seems like there is still such a long way ahead......
And this stupid cartoon at the end only takes time. There doesn't seem to be much left for the authors to say. Not as much as I would like :(

Hibito's disease is very serious. I'm intrigued as to how he can quickly deal with this. I think Sharon has a big role to play in this.
