So… after last week’s big climax… we get here an anti-climax. Mutta never really made a foolout of himself, and instead this series goes on to introduce a very important question: are the astronauts prepared to die? The annoying thing is that it’s still impossible to figure out what Azuma is thinking, and this episode [...]

「一つの質問」 (Hitotsu no Shitsumon)
"One Question"
I'm sure I don't need to say this, but Uchuu Kyoudai really has a way with words.

And the final exam has begun. And it is awesome. It’s a lot shorter than the second exam, but I love how it ended up: it’s just an interview by real astronauts, to see whether they would trust their lives with the new candidates. It’s so simple, yet it brings out the best of the [...]

「痛みを伴う面接」 (Itami o Tomonau Mensetsu)
"Painful Interview"
It would suck to catch a virus and be unable to see Hibito off at this late stage.

「マッハの弟 筋トレ兄」 (Mahha no Otouto Kintore Ani)
"Sonic Little Brother Training Big Brother"
All the talk about being one step behind or ahead during this episode makes me wonder - does Azuma feel something similar to what Mutta did when he realised he'd fallen behind someone who was supposed to look up to him?

Pardon me for just including two episodes in one entry in my attempt to catch up to the backlog I created on holiday, but at least these two episodes fit with each other as the intermezzo between the third and final exam. And seriously, even in an intermezzo this series is just amazing. It’s like [...]

「最悪の審査員」 (Saiaku no Shinsain)
"The Worst Possible Interviewer"
As it so frequently does, Uchuu Kyoudai presents us with yet another series of parallels between the two 'space brothers.'

You know what? I think that Space Brothers just got better. I mean really: this episode was just brilliant and I was incredibly moved at the end of it. Seriously, this is how you write your characters. Every single character was enjoyable to watch, and Mutta’s acting was even better than usual. We now know [...]

「親父と息子とムッタクロース」 (Oyaji to Musuko to Mutta Kurōsu)
"Father, Son, and Mutta Claus"
Just as the title suggests, this was a week of fatherly expectations.

Okay. So perhaps it was obvious what the outcome of this episode was going to be. There wouldn’t be much of a series left if Mutta didn’t pass in some way. But the way in which the creators did it was magnificent. This is really where the slow pace of this series came fullest to [...]
