Contrary to popular belief, the hardest part about becoming an astronaut isn't being shot into orbit while sitting on top of the world's largest fireworks display. Nor is it coming back home in a fiery reentry into Earth's atmosphere. No, those events, while momentous, are easy compared to all the studying and training required to actually get to those points. And the hardest part of all is the waiting: waiting to see if the technology for a mission will be ready in time. Waiting to see who gets selected for each crew. Waiting to see if the weather is clear for each launch. And waiting to see if everyone makes it back home alive. That's a lesson that Mutta is now painfully learning twice over, as he waits to find out the result of his JAXA exams and watches while his younger brother, Hibito, prepares for his own historic journey to the moon. Will Mutta finally pass and move on to the next stage of his own training? And will Hibito's mission end in success or tragedy? The tension mounts as the countdown begins in the third spectacular collection of SPACE BROTHERS!

Moon Rabbit
This set first focuses on Hibito and the launch (though from Mutta’s perspective, not Hibito's), then finishes up with the end of the astronaut exam and the results.Trivia: When Hibito makes it to the moon, he is dubbed the Moon Rabbit (or something like that) by the Japanese media. This is because the Japanese, instead of seeing the Man in the Moon, see a rabbit pounding mochi (rice cake).Hibito’s screen time is steady growing, which I enjoyed, as Hibito is actually a very interesting character. Kenji and Serika also get more attention, each get their own episode telling their backstory and fleshing them out as characters. An eccentric new character is also introduced.This set contains episodes 27-38 (12 episodes) out 99 total. At this rate, the last set (number 8 at the current) should come out around April 2016. That would make it a little over a year to release all sets for the series!I saw the entire series on Crunchyroll, but am working on collecting the DVDs as well :)
