Hey lady. LADY. Hey lady. I have an idea. I have an idea. I have an idea. let's go to space!
Space brothers is fantastic.
Space brother's the most inspiring and motivating and realistic anime ever.
People complain bout the number of eposiodes but the best part about this show is it's looong. 99ep long.
I took 2months to watch it. Watching 1-2ep a day and was constantly driven to work even harder
I love the first two openings of the show. Also a nice side fact related more to the song than the animation. The mangaka behind Space Brothers is a huge fan of the band UNICORN, and he specifically requested that they will perform the opening song. This is also the first time the band has ever performed an anime song.
Oh and Eureka is just an amazing song.
Ah, so this is why Unicorn's MV of Feel so Moon was so invested! They used the special-edition manga heavily on the MV and the author went to town drawing the whole band. You can even stretch it a bit and say that Muta and Hibito's hairstyles are kind of like the vocalist Tamio Okuda's.
Also, apologies for necroing this comment, I'm just amazed at learning of this tidbit 😅
God Damn.. I hope they start this anime again... Manga is still kicking ass.. But I want anime.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I've watched Uchuu Kyodai more than 5 times now and still not losing hope (like those brothers do) that there will be a continuation of the anime....
Me too man, me too
I like to imagine that someone was actually trying to eat that banana before it launched into the stars.
Wish we could've seen the 6 other openings analyzed. Such a great show that deserves so much more love from the west
My favorite thing about the show was it's very beginning. I was laughing so hard when they brought in the infamous World Cup headbutt only to be minutes later rolling on the floor after Mutta does the same thing to his boss while yelling "Zidane!".
I'm pretty sure that I can't love Space Brothers' awesomeness anymore than I possibly can but then you went ahead with your OCD analysis on the great OPs, which has now compelled me to rewatch the whole goddamn show...
Man, you have suave persuasion powers. You killin' me.

Thank you for this. Space Brothers is my absolute favorite series because of how much it resonates with my spirit and the Nanba brother's story has helped motivate me so much. These openings are very dear to me because of how inspiring they are and how they perfectly match the tone of series and compliment its characters and I can't wait to see you cover the rest
I love Space Brothers, Mutta has to be one of my all time favorite characters in anime, he's just such a great character.
Stop mentioning the baby steps video I've watched it 10 times over just for you man.
You've put in your time, you have my permission to watch the Psychonauts video instead
Fantastic analysis as usual! Real glad to see Space Brothers get some love, despite it's length it really deserves it. Space Brothers is one of those shows that's incredibly easy to watch no matter your mood and enjoy. I do hope it gets another season, as the manga seems like it may be nearing a conclusion and there's a pretty decent chunk of material now (as the end of the series was only announced as a 'hiatus' due to catching up with the manga IIRC.)
"Fail forward" is probably the most inspiring combination of words I've ever heard.
been waiting for an fma or fmab breakdown for the longest! so glad you're gonna get to it soon!
well I guess I'm watching Space Brothers now.
after you finished it, go read the manga until chapter 241. then play "feel so moon" from the first op.
The amount of detail, not only in the anime OP's, but also in your videos makes me feel fuzzy inside. Thanks again, Papa Geoff.
WHERE'S PART 2?????
I was thinking this😭
Watching this analysis has reignited my spark for Space Brothers. I had gotten burnt out on it around episode 30 and haven't picked it back up yet. So many anime, so little time. Fantastic video, by the way.
"We will be coming back to these eventually."
Welp. That didn't happen.
really loved Space Brothers, though it's hard to call it a great anime in it's entirety considering how the story pitters out in the latter third. That said it really did capture that child like sense of wonder I had about space as a kid. I especially love the way the time line and story structure was specifically set to target the adult/young adult viewers. The first part mostly focuses on the past, their dreams as children and thus invoking some nostalgia in us. The middle section focuses more on the current, then the last section focuses on the future. I feel like the show was really just one big subliminal recruiting ad for JAXA and NASDA.
The manga picks up again and it's great.
you know i can see your channel grow incredibly hard if you keep making this kind of quality videos. always nice to see you in my subscribers feed
I must admit the tribute OP to Jules Verne and George Méliès is my favorite, the OP with Merengue's "Crater" is my favorite musically, but the first OP with Unicorn's "Feel So Moon" and the second OP with Sukima Switch are the only two that have consistently made me cry.
To make me feel good about going to space. To make me feel that love of wonder. Even now I actually had to pause a couple times cause I remembered how it felt the first time I watched the first OP.
What I'm saying is, I love your analysis of these and I absolutely can't wait to see the other six covered. ^-^
If you've seen Planetes, can you tell me how you think it compares to Space Brothers? If you haven't seen it, then I recommend going and watching Planetes for more mostly realistic space goodness.
+Syrahl696 that's a tough comparison. Both shows are so good! Space brothers is more contemporary, but I think the core hook of Planetes is a bit more immediately appealing.
As a spaceflight nerd and aerospace engineer I'll confirm that Space Brothers is not just a really good show (which it is) but also probably one of the most realistic media representations of spaceflight - while it's set in the near future and thus technically science fiction it's realism is easily on par with historical dramas, actually while it's not perfect I would rank it above Apollo 13 or First Man in terms of realism (and perhaps also general storytelling though other people around here are more qualified to judge that part)
Your reviews are very educational and express really thoughtful... Thanks for reviewing one of my favorite Animes...
So I just started watching Space Brothers and I’m only on episode 4 but if Mutta doesn’t live his dream I don’t know what I’d do😭😭. It reminds me of Bakuman with the fact that they had big dreams and the show is all about them working towards it. I adored Bakuman too so I hope I love this as well.
I have been searching for a channel like yours for such a long time! Actual analysis of anime openings. Awesome!
Whenever I need some motivation or to be inspired or to just cheer up, Space Brothers is the anime I would turn to.
Space brothers is one of the shows that brought me out of a dark place, its sincerely the best Slice of life/ drama anime that has ever, or ever existed!
Thank you for making this, as a long time Space Brother's fan this really made my day.
Mother's Basement has pretty much become my go-to source for anime recommendations.
I discovered Space Brothers last year and finally decided to start on it this year.
I won't lie, I struggled a bit through the first arc. The exams initially piqued my interest but didn't really hook me. I would say the third sealed box exam is what really got me into it. I just got to the end of that part and it's some of the best slice of life I've ever seen (and I've barely even read or watched anything else in the last 2-3 years or so).
Eureka instantly became one of my favourite OP songs ever and instantly went on my general playlist as well lol.
I just love Uchuu Kyoudai/Space Brothers. I'm still wating for another season. It's one of that shows that always makes you smile and see the life in a positive way in the end of the day.
Great to see this one, I really loved Space Brothers and can't wait for it to come back.
The title characters falling into the atmosphere and burning up mimics the way that rocket stages eject and drift away from ascending rockets.
Aw man, I love Space Brothers! Glad you decided to do an analysis for this series :)
"Before even Rocket fuel, it's our imagination that propels us skyward"- Mother Basement. Such a deep quote, Great video.
have you ever considered dissecting a Darksouls level?
+COLTON DOUGHERTY Not saying he shouldn't but Darksouls is already very heavily covered by some very good tubers, Vati/Epic Name Bro etc
+The Mighty Silverback yeah, but he might have his own take on something, and personally I like how he breaks things down more than say epic name bro, and vatti more covers lore than anything.
COLTON DOUGHERTY Lore and Gameplay are intertwined beautifully in Darksouls though, fair enough I just don't think there's much market left for this guy and I think he's doing grand on the stuff he is doing.
I just mentioned those 2 because they are usually the first 2 people find, there are so so many man.
+The Mighty Silverback fair, I'm just saying give him a chance
Space Brothers is probity my favorite manga series of all time. The Anime is easily in my top 10.
Great job man! this definitely got me excited to start watching space brothers [which has been on my watch list for a while now]. Your review of OPs are stellar but I wish you would slow down sometimes. In this episode I had a hard time trying to watch what you were explaining and listening to your explanations. By the time everything registered with me you were already a quarter through your next explanation. Still good job
Caught a lot of feels watching this anime. Thanks for covering its epic OPs.
Not a shuttle. It's more likely an Orion Capsule & Altair Lunar Lander Package on top of a Delta IV heavy or SLS rocket.
Excellent video, just reminiscing about the series while watching this made me tear up a bit. :') Quite an inspiring story indeed.
Deivorous - Well it hasnt ended the manga still ongoing and translated
Awesome damn analysis, love the series and everything you talked about in the OP is spot on, heh.
It's been a year, we are ready for part 2...
It's been almost 3 years... can we put the rest of the OP's on the docket, please?
BOTH OF THESE OPS MAKE ME VERY EMOTIONAL
you gonna do an whats in an opening boku dake?
Space Brothers is such a great and fun show. Not even close to slice of life as some think and has some genuine suspense at places.
I understand why no season 2 so far, but I really wonder why so few are talking about this show.
4:50 anyone else notice how the surface their walking on look like the surface of the moon which could represent how close each of them are to their goal. Like Hibito is so close he practically walking on it and Mutta is not there just yet but is at the threshold of his journey (symbolized by both how close he is to the screen that Hibito and how most of the texture behind him is white)
The Looking forward to the word God for only knows op CANT WAIT!! (fav anime)
It makes me so happy when people talk about space brothers in so much detail, your analysis really made me notice some great stuff, everything at 8:24 made me laugh out loud. I can't wait to see what you'll dissect next !!
Do you have any kind of education in film/animation ? out of curiosity....
Still my favorite op analysis.
Guess we never did get a part 2.
Hell yea Space Brothers. You seem to have very similar tastes to mine regarding great OP's...
Space Brothers, Jojo, Jiyuu no Tsubasa specifically I still regard as the better of the two OP in AoT.
Glad to sub.
I just started this anime and I love it
This looks like a really awesome anime, but because i'm not really into Syfy and space doesn't really interest me i'm more interested in how this dynamic can be applied to different genres 😁
I always look forward to these! Haha, you do great work, I remember when Woolie introduced your channel to me and you only had one video! It has been growing and growing, My friends are always like:" Why are you so obsessed with openings?" and though it was a small interest in animation from long ago your videos gave form to an obsession haha.
Also since this is A-1 does Digi also hate Space Brothers? I'd love to see videos on what openings do wrong. And I once thought Blind dissections would have been interesting such as watching an op, deciphering what certain imagery might mean before the series ends and then coming back afterwards to confirm and clarify things, though it may not be as interesting the more I think about it as how you do them already is great.
Man, I love Space Brothers.
I love this and you so much.
Your video made my stop and have a second glance at this series .. I wanted to thank you for the good recommendation.
I marathon the hole show it in far less time then I take to watch it proper I was disappointed it didn't continue with the story so I'm on to the manga to see what happens ..
I don't know why I avoided this show before I saw it around a few times but I assumed it be a dumb space comedy so I didn't even give it a second glance. But I was so very wrong Most if not all the characters have main character potential witch is rare to see even out of anime, everyone's had there own reason to be there and grow and struggle.. and the slower pacing in some parts really aloud you to get to know all the characters, so when a old character returns it has much more significance and meaning. and when someone gets hurt you fell it with them. It was a roller coaster of emotion I would have never seen on my own.
I love this anime! Wish we could get more of it!
Such a good series
I picked up the show since you recommended it so much, and I love it, but I'd like to point out two things about the OP that I think you missed. In the first OP, the letters that appear to be on fire actually represent stages of a rocket being dropped (they appear to be on fire because of the exhaust from the stage above it). In OP 2, the letters are actually the parachutes being deployed from four different landing pods. I'm an aerospace engineering major so it's not like this is common knowledge, just thought I'd put that in there. Thanks!
iirc the 2nd opening had changing segments in it in various episodes - people holding the glasses differently and such stuff... but i might be wrong (but i strongly remember that that was a thing...)
great analysis!
plz do an episode on any of the OPs in zetsubou sensei
I assume this was not continued as Space Brothers is not that wellknown, but I would love to see a continuation at somepoint.
space brothers is a masterpiece
god i miss this anime!
If you see this, i really want to see a review of the Uchuu Kyoudai Opening 7 - Halo by tacica. Im on love with that op. Really amazing channel btw!
Still waiting for Talking! (Subete ga F ni Naru)
So hype for The World God Only Knows.
So hype....
Yo this was awesome man! Any idea when the next vid for space bros will be out? :D
The manga is fantastic, but I haven't watched the anime yet. And I want to see the live action movie too.
I hope you have started the anime! You won't regret it!
I need two things from you oh wise one.
1. A Kuroko's Basketball op analysis, ideally the last one.
2. A Magi op analysis, ideally the first one.
Please I enjoy these entirely too much. OPs partially make or break an anime for me.
I just finished this show the other day, it's really good. I'd have to say the third OP is my favorite, followed by the first.
Your videos are really awesome! Think in the future you can do a video about Kingdom Hearts?
Watched all of it ;A; it was so good
The anime I mean
Part 2?
When will come back to this? Eventually?
amazing
This anime is fantastic, but you said you like Sukima Switch? Have you though about doing a "What's in an OP?" about Kemono no Souja Erin? It's probably my favorite Sukima Switch songs, and I think you (and anyone else reading this) would love it.
I noticed that Kenji isn't wearing a Mutta wig during the dance in the second OP.
Any part 2? I miss this anime :(
wow..amazing
please do Hyouka next.. Love ur videos
you should try doing Sao ignite. I figured out who was going to be evil via the flames burning away the paper. my mom denied me and now I will never let her live it down.
You should do space brothers op7
2:05 STOP SPINNING AHHHH
Please finish this series. Please.
I wonder if you have ever read or heard of Twin Spica? I like it more than Space Brothers since it has a much more touching story but both are very smiliar
Why would you spoil the PTSD element? That was one of my favourite aspects of the series, heavily because of how unexpected it was.
Hi there, i don't know if you still make these videos, i just stumbled upon them today, but i appreciate that you talked about a great series that most people haven't heard about. So, if you are interested in Openings that are able to convey a message in great detail, then i recommend you watch and hopefully analyse the series "Natsume Yuujinchou" / "Natsume's Book of Friends". Its only my opinion but i bet you can get something worthwhile in watching them.
"Eventually" is a rather open ended term.
might have a use for this ^^
+ForNoGoodReason what will you use this for?
Poppa G
oh i have a channel called analysis daily exposing anime channels.
oh that's cool i'll deintly check it out :)
No. You say it's not even 100 episodes long. But yeah more people should watch it.
Feel so MOON!
So what do you think of Hoshi no Utsuwa, the song Sukima Switch did for The Last Naruto the Movie?
Heh... "stellar"... beautiful.
You might maybe do Canaan's opening sometime
