Space anime is usually all wars, mechs, and aliens, but Space Brothers set the precedent that an anime about all the many tests and training that real astronauts have to go through to reach the stars can be just as fun to watch. Although, the fact that Rollin’ Mutta is the main character kind of helps make Space Brothers such a lovable anime.
