Rating: 8 / 10 - Great

Impression:

I saw this anime, a few months before and because it was tagged as slice of life anime and the style of the drawing looked old style, I didn't really pay any attention, thinking that this would be another boring anime but I was wrong. After watching the first episode, I became really interested and with an added comedy this was surprisingly entertaining.  I personally liked how the story was narrated and the astronaut story was cool, being as a child, I too dreamed of becoming one.

I recommend this anime for people who likes space and had once dreamed of becoming an astronauts or even just people who dreams of achieving their goal in life. This one will certainly be an inspiration.
