Uchuu Kyoudai anime to end next week at episode 99

This news ruined my whole day yesterday, and today pretty much too. Probably the whole week  My favorite anime coming to an end without being even close to a real end. It's most likely temporary, but still this sucks ass  And at episode 99, why not 100...

The reasons i've heard are:
The manga is only 50 chapters ahead of the anime, which isn't that much apparently.
Some long running detective anime from the 90s is getting a new series, in the time slot of Uchuu Kyoudai.
They are working on a prequel movie, set to be released this summer, and they need all the time they have to work on that.

I just hope they won't take too long with bringing it back, like Fairy Tail, which took a long time imo.

It will take a year for sure imo. Such a shame... first Toriko and now Space Bros QQ

In the middle of an arc too.... What ep are you on?

Guess I'll start watching it again when the season ends. stuck at like episode 50 haha, I didn't read anything in this thread because there might be some spoilers though, so I won't come back here either!

On the same week when I stopped watching OP, Toriko, Naruto, etc  67th was the last ep... oh god. I really want to watch but... I just don't have time completely (((

Atleast you'll have something to enjoy. I think every ep since ep 67 or atleast since 70 has been a masterpiece. Though they were before that too

All eps were like that...
