Hanako getting jealous is kinda cute.

This episode had that fluffy feeling with the festival, fireworks, etc. Glad they got to enjoy the outdoors fun than being stuck behind that mystery school. Nene definitely made some memories here.

A younger Hanako, which I assume is Amane, is so cute. No wonder why Nene kiss him.

Kou is as goofy as usual, he's my weekly dose.

Overall a healing episode, but judging from the preview of the next episode, it's the calm before the storm.

Lerche's doing an amazing job at adapting this truly irreplaceable series.

Mokke Moving is so cute. Amane's wish really did come true, but not in ways he'd expect.

Nene getting an unexpected trip to the past! Who knew an apparition festival could transport someone back in time. A very heartfelt episode that I really enjoyed. Nene initially wanting to take Kou to a festival to cheer him up. She's A sweet girl looking out for him thinking he's down when he's actually just worried about her but can't tell her why he's rally upset. Hanako offering that idea of taking them to the festival those apparitions go to was a great way for him to tag along too. All the spirits looked so cool and unique, each having intriguing designs. Even having stalls like a human festival, handing out those special wish granting papers with each purchase. Its an interesting idea that collecting the five different colors and tying it to bamboo could grant any wish. Nene and Kou just being one color off must've sucked. Her going back in time and seeing Hanako when he was human was so sad. Knowing how he turns out it's hard to see this sweet little boy Amane. I'm glad she made it back not too roughly just had to take another hit from that cow. So while no wishes were made to help Nene or Hanako it was still nice seeing Hanako before he became Hanako

Not your usual summer festival episode, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t amazing, that ghost realm summer festival was a lot of fun just like a real one. Nene also looked adorable in that yukata, Kou and Hanako were understandably stunned, but of course Hanako couldn’t help but make a daikon joke to mask his feelings lol, also sad we didn’t get to see yukata Yako in full glory like the manga panel eye catches showed but I guess that’s inevitable if she stays in her fox form. And there were lots of good bits during the festival, but Nene getting run over by a cow and ending up in the past was where things got real when she encountered human Hanako in 1964 (just a year before the Grateful Dead formed), I really liked her short moment with this version of Hanako in Season 1 so I like that there’s more.

And even tho there was no shortage of goofiness like Nene turning to dust and even having her legs made fun of by this Hanako, it definitely enters the feels department during the fireworks scene and when Nene had to leave, wasn’t expecting that kiss but it was really sweet, also funny how Nene had to return to reality by getting hit by a cow again lol. And turns out Hanako didn’t wish to be an astronaut after all, he wished to see Nene again which I absolutely saw coming, I’m kinda proud of myself for that one lol, but it was a really nice end to the episode.

Overall this was a really chill one which I’m happy to have because I’m sure things will get more serious pretty soon, I’ll never turn down some wholesome goodness with this cast, also ngl that static effect for the preview of the next episode’s title kinda spooked me lol.

TWO KISSES IN BACK TO BACK EPISODES??! HANANENE STANS WE HAVE ARRIVED!! Such a good episode omg! Nene looked so pretty in her yukata, but present day Hanako-kun has to get better at complimenting lmao. I’ll cut him some slack since he been a ghost for 60 years, but cmon. No daikon comparisons! 😂

The time travel mini arc was so cute. It’s adorable how innocent and shy Amane was back then. Breaks your heart when you realize the tragedy that would unfold a few years later. But maybe that kiss Nene gave him will change something?

Feel bad again for Kou getting cucked in back to back episodes lmao. Nene took him to this festival to cheer him up and she doesn’t even know why he’s upset.. at least this week he didn’t have to see the kiss, but its pretty funny the very person he’s trying to save is making progress with the other guy in back to back eps lmao.

Classic festival episode, but this time the trio went to the Youkai festival. I thought the wish thing would work for Yashiro or Kou, but it was for someone else. Will this time travel show that Yashiro already knew Hanako when he was still alive? 🤔 Because his wish came true since he met her again in the future.

Omg this is the cutest episode ever! I love every episode of Hanako-kun. Only thing though is that it’s not believable for Nene not to recognize younger Hanako right away. Not many have eyes like that

Also i never noticed Square published anime like this. They really do make all my favorite art

Weird her running into the living into the living Amane, knowing in a few years he will murder his twin brother. Such a bitter sweet episode for sure!

Another great episode! So many cute moments between our trio and the Mokkes making Mokke deliveries omg so cuuute!

It's been so long since I read this part of the story in the manga and it was kind of heartbreaking to think that maybe this was the moment that finished derailing things for Amane, but perhaps not?

Loved the episode I did kinda cringe when Nene kissed Amane that was a whole 4 year old child creepy, but other than that it was very cute and wholesome a nice break from what's been going on. Kou is so gay for Mitsuba.

Wow okay it was definitely interesting to see Nene going back in the past in the 60s and meeting Hanako while he was young and alive... definitely not the kind of summer festival episode I expected but I should have known after seeing them attending the dead world summer festival first ahah

Woah, two kisses already? Jeez, Nene...

Now seriously, I'm genuinely fascinated by how well this show handles the balance between wholesomeness and bitterness. Another 5/5 episode.
Nene in yukata looked lovely, btw.
