Hallelujah! Episode 10 is out. My wishes have been answered. XD

Great, can't wait to see what's on this one. Thanks for doing it, by the way! (Will edit this post as soon as I watch it! Which should be in another 30 minutes.)

EDIT: Okay, I got carried away doing other things. Pretty neat episode. I liked the swimming pool bit; and also I'm very interested by the fact that

Woo! Woo! Woo!

Go anime-fansubs, you rock! More! More! More!

Kensuke · 2004-05-09, 03:31

Thank you, thank you Anime-Fansubs!

Just watched episode 10 and thing are progressing as they tested their spacesuits and continued their training. Asumi's determination was showed clearly and also little details about Marikas past were revealed.

Spoiler:

Space debris mentioned in this episode can be dangerous, NASA has to change shuttle windows rather often as they are being hit by debris.

Oh, and Asumi looks cute in waitress uniform.

New episode?

WAI!

Thank you thank you!!!

I posted the explanation as a spoiler earlier in this thread... BUT in hindsight, I think it would have been better for me to have waited and to have tried to figure it out on my own. The puzzle is interesting, but the clues are clearly present in the show itself, and the answer is just about the only logical explanation there is. The makers of the show chose to drag out the mystery for several episodes. So it would have been better to watch the progression as the creators had intended, I think. Sorry if this post sounds a little too coy. I can't help myself. It's a really intriguing mystery, and Marika's a truly great character in the end, I think.

I LOVE this show!

From Natsume Maya:

"More release details for the Futatsu no Spica (Twin Spica) DVD Box to be released on 22 July 2004: catalogue number KIBA-91066, price 31,290 yen (including tax). As previously stated, it'll contain all 20 episodes."

Considering how expensive R2s typically go for, that's a pretty good price for a 20 episode series.

"We love you Anime-Fansubs, oh yes we do-oo"

Woohoo, Episode 11! Slowly but surely - which is immensely better than never, or quick and nasty. Hoorah for Anime-Fansubs!

Keitaro · 2004-05-26, 02:57

Just seen ep 11 and I would gladly kick

Spoiler for on ep11:

lordlucless · 2004-05-26, 04:39

I agree with you Keitaro, on both points. But I loved the second half of this episode - so sad. Poor Lion-san

At least it sounds like Asumi will have some more encouragement in Tokyo from now on.

BTW, Zarxrax...what is that girl doing to the tree in your avatar?

Episode 12 is out, woohoo! I can't wait to see what happens when Lion-San gets to the school.

You may be waiting a bit longer

This is another "Young Asumi" episode.

Xie · 2004-06-06, 05:40

LOL yeah I realized that when I started watching it, I had forgotten what the previews from the previous episode were, BUT the next episode isn't, HA HA!

Anyway, as always this one was great, I did get a bit more of a filler feel from it as opposed to the other flashbacks even when they didn't actually effect the storyline. Still all in all it was really good

Spoiler:

Kensuke · 2004-06-06, 13:00

There is clearly two storylines, one about six year old Asumi and other about teenage Asumi.

But anyway, ep. 12 was good, and very sad... While SaiKano was sad and depressing, Twin Spica has some optimism, but maybe because of it its very emotional and characters are much likeable. I was in tears during this episode.

StarCreator · 2004-06-06, 17:18

Spoiler for later eps...

Spoiler:

weyoun6 · 2004-06-07, 03:32

I really Hate these "young asumi" episodes because I find them distracting. That being said - episode 12 was quite good, possibly my favorite episode so far.

Bracken33 · 2004-06-07, 10:09

For me it is exactly the other way around. I generally like young Asumi episodes but episode 12 was the first one with a bit of a filler feeling.

Perhaps it is because Kasane has no connection to the other characters yet.

But this episode was still good *snif*

. So far this show has no really bad episode.

Also I had to laugh about Lionsan. A spirit/ghost that is out of breath.

Boy you're not the only one. Twin Spica is the only anime which consistantly drove me to tears. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite anime series.

I read some online review of the manga by some Japanese fans; appearantly the manga is much more of a tear-jerker and tells more background stories. I think I'll have to buy them and check it out. Anyone saw any scanlations of Futari No Spica out there?

xxziggybitsxx · 2004-06-07, 12:08

Personally this is becoming one of my favorite anime... Im acully pretty exited this summer because i will be visiting a space station. I love this anime so much, so i try to share the love with other people... and so far everyone i should it to hates it.. even my High School anime club.. wtf is up with that?

abubo · 2004-06-07, 12:10

Just found out that there's only 20 episodes of Twin Spica. So we'd only have 8 more left. It's strange to have only 20 shows when the norm is either 13 or 26.... maybe it was canceled? It is in the 9AM Saturday timeslot... which is a prime children's anime spot. Maybe the ratings weren't so good? Zannen datta ne...

I accidentally read one small bit of a spoiler from somewhere and there was some possibility of there being two Marikas... or something...? __________________ Thanks for the fish Last edited by wao; 2004-05-09 at 09:05.

Kensuke Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Finland	Thank you, thank you Anime-Fansubs! Just watched episode 10 and thing are progressing as they tested their spacesuits and continued their training. Asumi's determination was showed clearly and also little details about Marikas past were revealed. Spoiler: Someone who is afraid of water to go swimming alone requires a lot of willpower. Shuu's (that eyebrow-less guy) grandfather and Marika's father know each other, in previous episodes it seemed that Shuu is also from rich family, so that would make sence if they have something in common. I really enjoyed this episode, like when Fuchuuya told Marika not to bully Asumi so much, and when that teacher told Sano "She has the eyes that you've lost." Is it just me or is there something going on between Asumi and Kei. Space debris mentioned in this episode can be dangerous, NASA has to change shuttle windows rather often as they are being hit by debris. Oh, and Asumi looks cute in waitress uniform.

Keitaro Kyuuketsuki Otaku Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Somewhere in Hawaii	Just seen ep 11 and I would gladly kick Spoiler for on ep11: Sano Sensei ass any damn time, that punk bullying poor little Asumi is not good. He should know better hes a adult and a teacher on top of that. Other then that when Aumi's friend goes crazy when Asumi says it has nothing to do with her seemed awkward to me , I don't know maybe its just the voice seiyuu. Anyways it was good episode. Thank you AF and keep up the good work I don't care how long it takes to sub it just as long you guys keep doing it. __________________

Spoiler: But still I wonder what was the point of this episode if we don't see Kasane later. Maybe just to point out that there were many who suffered in that accident, and to give a reason to why Asumi's father left space agency. Children can be cruel, like when those boys were trying to see Kasanes wound and her mother wasn't much better, but atleast Kasane survived to early adulthood. No wonder that Asumi's father didn't continue his work, being part of the accident and then seeing personally the effects, especially to the childrens.
