'Differences' seems to be one of the underlying themes in Uchuu Kyoudai this week.

Anime has many golden rules. One of them is that whenever there is a prediction, MAKE SURE TO PAY ATTENTION TO IT. It’s very important foreshadowing for later, trying to be cryptic in one way or the other. The way in which Uchuu Kyoudai did this though was quite original. I mean, we basically got [...]

Holy crap, Space Brothers, what are you doing to me? Oh my god, the cliff-hangers just get more and more aggravating with this series, especially now that Hibito’s life is on the line.
