However, I could be proven wrong soon, but if it turns out to be a smooth ride all the way to the Moon, I will be disappointed.

The moon is the easy part, he said he was going to Mars to stay one step ahead.

new space-born colonies alleviated the Earth's overpopulation problems

I'm not sensing this ending well in anime land.

That was an unexpected reveal. From the way the series was going I was expecting Kenji was going to be Mutta's rival for Serika of sorts.

Me too and I'm glad they didn't, had enough of anime love triangles at the moment.

My litmus test for a good show, I think I'm only five minutes into an episode when it ends. Happened with the last with the last few of Space Bros.

I thought it was fairly well established that the kid is just a plant. The director and the others kinda mentioned "oh now that he's openly expressing doubt etc we'll be able to get more honest reactions out of team A. I guess the way it was all spoken it seemed to me like he was just there to shake things up, not actually a real candidate at all.

Pretty sure they were just making a general observation. Also, as mentioned before, we've heard his internal monologue and it's inconsistent with him being a plant.

Not a big fan of the actual music in the new OP but I completely lost it at Mutta's 'fro eclipsing the sun.

I also liked how they were picking the pieces up and trying to fit them together in mid-air, maybe Japanese people don't do jigsaw puzzles.

I did expect the whole alarm thing to be more about 'Hey, there's this weird noise in a space capsule, maybe we should find out what's causing it in case it's something bad.' than just trying to sow discord.

Man, I love this show.

I'll admit to tearing up a bit when Makabe realised what 'ka-pei' meant.

There's also the live-action movie in the works, hopefully that will up the anime versions profile.

The Japanese live action movie? That already came out. Or is there another one? That's the only one I was aware about.

I didn't realise it had already been released, oh well. :sigh:

Mutta's hat hair was the best.

Pretty sure they originally said that had three spots available which is why it was always going to be Kenji, Serika and Mutta.

ASCANS is a really unfortunate contraction.

Since the show's run was extended from what they had originally planned I'm guessing they needed a few weeks breathing room.

Trying to catch up with this now; which #s are the recaps?

The current episode and the last two so 53, 54 and 55.

VVVV As I was typing that a brief flicker of doubt crossed my mind but I completely forgot to open up CR and check. :v:

Did they really need to spend 3 minutes recapping the previous episode?

This episode was almost up to recent One Piece episode levels of 6+ minutes before anything new happens. I wonder how far along the anime series is in the manga and when it's going to start running out.

They're probably quite innocently unaware of the unfortunate history there. Probably.

Also, I think this is the first anime I've seen where they actually bother to give a character an actual illness instead of the dreaded Unspecified ConditionTM.

The death toll for Anime Coughing Disease must be in the millions by now.
