Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for manga readers and sci-fi fans. It's anime, with all the big emotions and big action that comes with it.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 35 min.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Mutta Namba's ambitions are at a disappointing standstill when his brother, Hibito, is selected to train for a coveted NASA space mission — an appointment that sets in motion events that take the brothers to the crossroads of destiny and dreams.
