In this article I want to talk about an anime that was very successful in Japan and was always in the ranking of the most watched of the week during its exhibition, but unfortunately it was not successful in Brazil among anime fans. Let's talk about Uchuu Kyoudai | 宇宙兄弟 | Space Brothers or space brothers.
Unfortunately, many are deceived by the synopsis which talks about 2 brothers with a dream of becoming astronauts and the whole process they go through to make that dream come true. Sounds like an uninteresting synopsis or one more slice of life that doesn't please everyone. But this anime is so wonderful that it managed to be in my top 3 of the best anime of my life.
Uchuu Kyoudai is proof that anime can inspire lives much better than movies and without using elaborate fights or relying on clichés! Just with a captivating and enjoyable story!
This work of art manages to go far beyond a slice of life or everyday drama. The anime is full of comedy, adventure, suspense and even psychological thriller. As soon as you start watching the first episode, you're already faced with a good intro and an epic soundtrack that moves your heart.
This anime was so unknown during its exhibition in Brazil that I already had to wait weeks for the only small site called HeroSub Subtitle the episode. I want to go out into the world and scream everyone watch Uchuu Kyoudai! It was quite painful to follow this anime and wait more than a week to watch the episodes that hold from beginning to end.
Uchuu Kyoudai was one of the great inspirations and incentives I had to pursue my dreams with the site and the trip to Japan.

Talking a little about Uchuu Kyodai
The manga with over 300 chapters was written by Chūya Koyama and published in the magazine Kodansha's Weekly Morning since December 2007. The manga was nominated twice for Manga Taisho and won, in addition to the anime, a film live action of quality and an animated film. The anime adaptation has 99 episodes!
This work is considered a Seinen and aimed mainly at the adult audience and the whole family. The anime is quite realistic and comes out of the clichés of magical worlds, aliens or fantasy villains. He manages to be totally balanced and deliver all the emotions of watching an anime in the right measure.
All characters in the work manage to be charismatic, as much as some believe that everyday life anime is stopped or not arresting, it will totally change the concept when watching Uchuu Kyoudai.
You can watch the entire anime on Crunchyroll by clicking here.
What will you see in Irmãos do Espaçø?
The work begins by making references to important events in the history of humanity (nothing related to space). Soon the 2 main characters are introduced, one older brother looking weirdo who turns out not to be so successful. The other brother is a heartthrob who managed to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut.
The unsuccessful brother named Mutta who ends up losing his job decides to chase his childhood dream and catch up with his brother. It seems like a simple and boring story, but you really have no idea how deep this work can be and captivate everyone who watches it.
Anime comedy manages to be much more mature than popular comedy anime nonsense of the present. A reference work suitable for all ages and cultures. The anime manages to explore different cultures in addition to the traditional Japanese culture by presenting characters from other countries such as the USA and Russia.
It's not science fiction or a story about aliens. It is a story about overcoming and friendship between two brothers. Is very beautiful! Each episode is immersive, full of surprises that make you want to watch non-stop!
Something that draws a lot of attention in the work is its theme and how it is approached in a realistic way. From the training sessions that simulate everyday life in space like the countless spacecraft. When you finish the anime you will finally understand why some have the dream of going to space!
The anime manages to keep you hooked with high-quality animation, even with a high number of episodes. You will finish the anime wanting more and end up rushing to the Live Action, which also turned out great. This anime is perfect and everyone should watch it! Dad, mom, friends, grandparents, dogs, parrots, neighbors...
