But still, there is something perversely fascinating about the sheer number of whoopsies that make up the bulk of this episode's runtime. Like, yeah, Hikaru gets the iconic "catching Minmay out of mid-air" sequence near the end, but that's only after spending two thirds of the episode literally trying to figure out how to keep his mecha from falling over. And then there's the first attempt at launching the ship, which is still one of the most brilliant mechanical failures I've ever seen in a SciFi series. It's simultaneously hilarious but also very intelligent, which I'm obviously down with.
