The manga Uchuu Kyoudai by Koyama Chuuya was announced to get a TV anime adaptation.
Synopsis:
Animation Production: A-1 Pictures
Broadcast Date: Spring 2012
Website: http://www.uchukyodai.com/
As opposed to what I originally assumed, this shouldn't be airing on the Tuesday NTV timeslot since all signs are pointing towards an Aniplex production, which is fairly surprising. Might be one of noitaminA's future offerings after all...? Either way, I'm really excited for the adaptation, next spring is shaping up to be pretty damn promising (the amount of announcements this week has been overwhelming).

In 2025, Hibito has become an astronaut, and he's going to go to the moon. Mutta ended up following a more traditional career path with an auto development company. However, Mutta just ruined his career through a violent altercation with his boss. Now, not only has he lost his job, he appears to be blacklisted in the entire industry. Maybe this is a rare opportunity for Mutta to once again chase his childhood dream and become an astronaut like his little brother!
