OnimaruXLR posted:Lots of little touches I loved about episode seven, like the way they used a little Jetsons-y comic in the paper and the anchor for the "Texas News" being dressed like a cartoon cowboy. Also the way Mutta's frustrating was characterized, and the way it was effecting Hibito. And the Ozzy polo shirt that Hibito's neighbor was wearing. This show's just straight up subtle in every aspect that doesn't involve spaaaaaace or fire extinguisher-equipped criminals I laughed when the cartoon cowboy news anchor showed up. As for the old guy's Ozzy shirt, he was wearing the same thing the first time they introduced that character and I laughed then too. What I really liked was the old man's implication that he was going to take Mutta to the casino to count cards. I agree that the fire extinguisher man plot-line is pretty forced though.

And here I was thinking someone was just going to set whatever time they put the battery in the clock as noon/midnight and go from there. Time is relative after all. Edit: This episode really made me start to think how perfectly suited to adaptation into shounen anime/manga material the whole astronaut selection process is.

Anta posted:See, this confused me because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ares_V and I don't know if it's an intentional reference or hilarious coincidence. I'm just going to pretend this is the actual reason for it being spelled MARES as the alternative is that in a show about space they completely failed to spell the word Mars properly.

Gotta have a bandaid on your forehead to be an astronaut on the moon.

Yeah, I have to agree that the setup for the accident seems a bit contrived. Hey guys, it's NASA, listen, we lost our robot drone thing somewhere over on this bit of the moon, go over there and wander around for a few hours and try and find it for us why don't you? Not forgetting that missions generally have pretty tight timetables during which important science things need to be done. For an idea of how tight these timetables were at one point check out Skylab 4

AfroGunsou posted:Is there a tumblr or image album or something documenting all of Mutta's dad's shirts? Because there needs to be. I was thinking this very same thing, though I'd extend it to all of the shirts/hats in the show as there have been some good ones worn by people other than Mutta's dad.

I'd almost forgotten what a recap episode was. Thanks for the reminder Space Bros!

A THIRD recap episode.. SERIOUSLY? At least the preview for 55 looks like we're back to regular episodes. vvvv Edit: Yeah, that and I imagine the change in timeslot had an effect. Amstrad fucked around with this message at Apr 20, 2013 around 22:41 |

Rexides posted:That was the lamest fistbump ever. I never thought I would be so underwhelmed by a fistbump. I thought it was just strange that Mr. Stoic Efficiency did a fistbump at all. Especially with the guy who seems to be putting on an air of lazy incompetence. The fact those two are somehow friendly with one another hints at all sorts of backstory.

It gets down to near freezing in the desert at night. Notice Mutta and Nitta were all bundled up when they went to get the cellphone, and that was a fairly short trip. Also take into account that a lot of desert animals are nocturnal and the reduced visibility potentially resulting in any number of accidents and you can imagine why traveling at night wouldn't be the greatest plan. Really I imagine the best plan would be to get up pre-dawn as things are getting lighter, walk until noonish, rest through the hottest bit of the day, do some more walking and then make camp for the night.

I had to wonder how much of that teacher's actions was as a part of small town politics and the largest local employer also running a local tech school. I bet he and the school system are both receiving all sorts of financial kickbacks to keep the local work-pool full.
