Uchuu Kyoudai: Space Brothers

[MFauli]

I think the stress is building up on her, such that she thought it would be better for someone to know about it as if they could prevent it. Also, they're people of science so hopefully they're not of the "I can't be wrong" mentality. There's also the possibility that Mutta would get angry at Amanti for not telling him, which may have prevented this (not really, but still). Then there's the "right to know" argument.

In short, I don't blame Amanti even if it's counter-intuitive. Perhaps she should have asked Mutta if he wants to know what she saw, but that's about it.

Um ... no.
The problem is not if she tells Mutta or not. The problem is that Amanti CAN see the future, and is CONVINCED herself that she is capable of doing that. What the fuck is this, Harry Potter? Lord of the Rings?
This part of the show is so, so, so dumb.

"Hey, let´s make an anime about pseudo-realistic space flight."
"Cool idea. But we should have premonitions, too."
"Premoni- wait, wat."
"Well, you see ... because!"
"Can´t argue with that. Let´s put it in!"

Or something like that.
Seriously, one of the dumbest decisions in anime in years.

You're forgetting the (to be confirmed?) alien contact Hibito and Mutta had.

Aliens probably do exist, considering the vastness of space. Magic doesn´t (outside of a super progressive civilisation, where technology has advanced to a level that´s like-magic - but Amanti is not an alien ...)

[Buffalobiian]

Magic doesn't, but superstition does. Japan, amongst other cultures, is quite known for embracing superstition without rejecting science. It's amazingly bizarre.

Well, the guy is in his 30s, having people with cancer (for example) in their families or relations is highly probable. Even deaths start to occur (grand parents). So without much details, Amanti's "prediction" isn't that magical, at least you can always pretend to interpret it like that, rather than some real prediction or magical power.

That still doesn´t change the real problem here: That Amanti is bitch enough to take her superstition/premonition/magic bs for so serious that she decides to bother another person with it. Makes her a complete religious nut.

Hey, it's not like she's the only one who believes her visions are accurate.

HS - Episode 63

[MFauli]

OH FUCK THE PACE!!1

Cant wait for next episode. Didnt expect Sharon to suffer from the same disease as Serika´s dad, which makes it all the more dramatic. Damn.

[Buffalobiian]

Looks like David was on the money.

My reaction to the first Dr's briefing though... "WTF? You ordered blood tests and even an MRI, but you didn't do a musculoskeletal nor a neurological exam? WHY?!?!?!"

MSK and Neuro are the lengthiest exams to learn though. (watching this just got me motivated to learn them properly now)

[David75]

Well, somehow it's a bit sad they had to use the same illness. But it helps creating a bond between important characters in the show.
I'm still a little surprised Amanti didn't see it in Serika, after all, she of all people know best what Sharon's illness means. Or maybe with her past experience she can deal part of the emotional shock better, even more since she's not very close to her?
Or Amanti didn't see it, because it makes her "power" less magical...

[MFauli]

Amanti had most of her chakra exhausted, I think ...

HS - Episode 64


---------------------------








I liked this episode. It seemed.. poetic.

[MFauli]

HEY, ANIME! STOP MAKING ME SAD!

[shinta|hikari]

I feel that the entire story about Sharon's disease is a mere plot device to get Mutta and Serika closer together.

Just kidding.

[MFauli]

no episode this week?

[Buffalobiian]

no episode this week?

No idea. I'm just camping out for it as per usual.

[David75]

Next ep will be aired on July 13, read that on wikipedia I think.
