"Saku Ooyagi returns to his old town after seven years and becomes reacquainted with a childhood friend, the ever-boisterous Mihoshi Akeno; but the reunion is far from merry since his last piece of memory between them is of her falling off a tree and him diving to save her. Regardless, Mihoshi focuses her all into improving their tattered relationship and forces Saku to join her astronomy club." -AniDB

First of all I have to note I either wish another group will appear or TKK will invest a bit more effort into their work. The series itself doesn't really require the most amazing translations, I reckon, but still leaving multiple simple lines untranslated is dubious at best. It could have used a little bit of language check as well.

The series itself seems to be somewhere between Sketchbook (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=5186) and Manabi Straight (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=4125), I'd say. With the obvious exception this one has guys in the main cast as well, which I consider a jolly good thing. I don't know how far the relationship between the main characters will develop, but I wouldn't mind if it got some attention as that would further distinguish this series from the usual stock (high-school club centered comedy / slice of life).

I'll probably watch at least the couple of next eps to see if this is the kind of nicely flowing series I like to watch every season.

[Nadouku]

A pleasantly relaxing first episode, with Mii-chan chasing Saku to the ends of the world and hugging him when she finally catches up. So, Saku hates her because she bullied him and caused him to break his arm when rescuing her? That's a hard case, indeed, but we'll see where this goes.

[Kraco]

Saku already confessing (at least to himself) that he actually missed the nutcase Mii-chan kind of suggests his injury probably won't play that big a role anymore, especially when it was revealed the girl herself also was hospitalized. I wouldn't have minded if he had tortured Mii-chan a little longer with guilt (in a comedic manner), but he's probably too good for that and she too energetic to let such little things bother her many times.

Well, I hope they can come up with some nice plots. At least the characters are amusing enough so far.

[Nadouku]

With that kind of innocent look, it's pretty hard to stay angry at Mii-chan. :p

man, this series is so good!

[Kraco]

I somehow thought Mii-chan was seriously romantically interested in Saku, but it doesn't look that way. Although there's always the textbook chance of her simply not realising it yet. She's so busy with the stars that she might not have time to think about such things before it's starting to get late and the man is almost taken away by someone else. Still, how she's always hugging Saku seems strange indeed if she's supposedly not interested in him. But there are people like that, of course.

[Nadouku]

I'm also going for the "not simply realizing yet". Those wild hugs are probably her sign of friendliness towards the person and she does hug comfortably around Saku, much to his annoyance. I find the club president to be the funniest because of his random splurging of blood and power-up bicycle. :p

ahaha, i was just thinking the exact same thing xD.

i think all the characters work so well together, it just makes the show awesome.

ep 3 subbed by AonE!

[Bread-sama]

ZOMG, we were the first ;p

[animus]

I'm really really enjoying this series, though there's no one discernible reason why or one glaring thing. Everything just meshes very well.

[Nadouku]

I would have thought that the president would be on the floor, not Mii. Still, I guess it would be enough to shock anyone who wanted to go stargazing and it just happens to rain outside.

I would draw a figure with a white chalk if I found somebody lying on the floor...

[Nadouku]

Hmm, a Hime-centered episode. I also want to know what Mii's answer is, too!

[Kraco]

Mii is certainly a tough case. It seems like a romance still hasn't visited her mind, yet judging by how she's always seeking out Saku (and hugging him), it likely would be a huge shock for her if Saku wasn't anymore available for such things. But she will soon win some density awards, that's for sure.

[shinta|hikari]

Mii obviously likes Saku. It is just that she still has no interest in romance, and Hime will most likely cause that to change in the future.

Twinkle, twinkle...

It seems like Saku is somewhat jealous after this new teacher dude, Mii's old friend, appeared. As irritated as Saku seemingly was after Mii's continuous attention, he now obviously is sorry somebody appeared to share that attention. And not only that but in fact someone who might have a lot more common, history included, with her.

[Pandadice]

was the video some-what off sync for anyone else? there were parts where it'd slow down, and them jump ahead and stuff, and half the lines' timing were off and stuff. maybe it was just my computer and not the video..

good episode. the ending seemed unexpected and unnecessarily overly dramatic <.<

[Kraco]

It's something about the AonE encoding that does that unless you have a good computer. I have a dusty old computer and I experienced that very same thing you described. If memory serves I first noticed it in Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jikenbo, so I think it's some AonE peculiarity.

[Nadouku]

I guess Saku is really bothered. At first, I thought it might have been a moment of fresh air for him, but seeing him mildly depressed like that certainly means something else is going on.

[AnimeOne] Sora no Manimani - Episode 7: HD (http://www.gotwoot.net/torrents/[AonE]_Sora_no_Manimani_07_[7D8D63CA].mkv.torrent)

Since I'm sticking to AnimeOne only, I've watched episode 7 and am waiting for 8. Literature club so suits Saku so much, but at the same time, Astronomy club is where its at for him. It feels more like home for him than at the Literature club.

[Kraco]

He should pick the one where his girl resides.

Fortunately it seems like he might have understood that finally himself.

[Pandadice]

ohh but which girl does he really want?

this series does such a spectacular job of capturing the vastness of space.. i'm just in awe every time they do those massive clear sky shots.

lol, i know mihoshi didn't get what hime was talking about, but when she came back with "i'm not gonna lose" i was like "well maybe she does get it.." but then the end kinda cleared it up xD

the special was okay. it was only like 1:30 though, so there's not really much there.

i just realized i never posted about the series ending.

-

well at first i was disappointed with how they left all Mi-chan vs Hime progress out of this episode, and never resolved who ended up with the main dude...

but, after thinking about the ending, i think it was a really good ending to a good series.

yeah there's romance and crushes and stuff going on, but the main focus of the series, from start to finish, is on the Astronomy club and what it does. it has humor and romance on the side, but i really liked that the series just follows what the astronomy club does during 1 complete school year. looking at it like that, i thought the ending was great.
