What's this, a Shimako arc or something? It sure starts to be a bit annoying to me. She finds the time to help in the shrine, but not to visit Sei-sama... that seems pretty dumb to me.

Overall, it was a decent episode, but also rather annoying.

i rather liked the development with shimako, although i hated the other new character, touka i think, and hopefully she doesn't play a major role or it may ruin the 10/10 for me

also, lolololol at the credits for the next episode, they were pretty hilarious

Drill hair + voiced by Kugimiya Rie = you automatically know that character's supposed to be hated lol.

It's only normal for her to help out int he shrine since you know, it's her home and all :p

I'm almost five years late but just in case someone else watches and comments in this thread after me, let me just point it out. If you come here after watching the first season, you'll know that Sei and Shimako's relationship isn't exactly normal. They're not close at all nor clingy like SachikoxYumi and ReixYoshino because Sei (and probably Shimako) doesn't want to depend on each other too much.

The scene in the previous episode where Sei was feeding Goronta perfectly describes Sei and Shimako's relationship: a stray cat can't survive in the wild if it becomes too dependent on people's help. To which Sei replied that the cat is still weak so it's fine to care for it. Sei doesn't always interact with Shimako but when Shima needs her the most, she's always there :) So in a way, Sei was just toughening up Shimako and Shimako understands this well that's why she opts not to meet Sei.

Hahaha, are the next-episode previews made by an entirely different crew or something? Honestly, Maria Watches Over Us, the rap?

Agree, Shimako and Sei never really had any close interactions. Never heard Sei call her Shima or anything else. I also think she followed Sachiko's advice in not spoiling Yumi but in this case Shimako. Sei could have spoiled Shimako but she didn't as she wanted her to grow up strong not dependant. Sei even said if Shimako needs help she comes to Sei.

I see a strong Shimako who is doing fine without Sei. Speaking of Sei, Short hair Sei aka Rei 2.0 xD

That Toko girl is annoying. Only Sei and Yoko can do the back hugging. This girl just does it to make people mad.


Btw, rap previews lol

That preview just ended me, M-maria-sama m-maria-sama. Oh man, the shoujo-ai vibes are starting to pick up with the new encounters. I wonder if twin drills is going to become Yumi's sis.

Yeh Sei's new haircut shows that she cut her past and stepped into her new life - it makes her look even cooler!

"I'm not like these girls", hm.. And also some snow was going one day, hm..
It seems she at least enjoyed meeting with Shimako.. As well as Shimako enjoyed meeting Noriko in return..
Ah, ok, Noriko's interests more lays in buddhism sphere..
I like Noriko and Shimako together a lot already.. I hope they'll become close..

It appears that Shimako has met a potential "little sister" candidate.

Will Shimako ask Noriko to become her little sister?
