(shrug) she has demonstrated she is gifted - until I hear otherwise I'm assuming it's one of her gifts.

(On the other hand, based on some of the things she said to Dera about what might be wrong with his communication 'feature', it could be "a sufficiently advanced technology")

Tamako with her specs is just brill. Looks like she's going to be proposed bride for the prince. Once again, I could listen to the ending theme all day long ...

Hmmm, marry the island prince and become Tamako Mochiyucky? Or marry the childhood friend and become Tamako Mochizou.

With her love of mochi, I personally like Tamako Mochizou better.

No no. Tamako will form an OT4 with Midori, Kanna, and Shiori; Choi will eventually get together with the prince; and everyone (important) will be happy. :p

The fortune telling for the one getting married was a bit weird. "Waves" and stuff. Sounds like a certain tropical island. Although that would be off, I mean, she hasn't met the prince.

wow, choi definitely brought more life to this show for me.
in my opinion, this episode alone beats the past 6 episodes combined just because of choi's appearance.
i love her character and personality, she brought so much excitement to the town with her fortune telling, she made dera her b*tch, and it even looks like she's finally brought PLOT into the series!

and it looks like tamako will be the "chosen one" for the prince, but it also looks like choi is already in love with the prince. i sense love triangle coming up (hell, make it love pentagon if you throw in mochizou and midori lol)

this episode alone REALLY brought up this show alot for me, all thanks to choi.
hope they keep this excitement up til the end of the series

Not just that, Sawa-chan is finally getting married.

Seriously tho Tamako is not going to marry the prince obviously she's going to stay in Japan and keep on with her life. Choi will get with the prince i bet.

And poor Dera lol, he needs to lose some weight.

And is anyone else getting pissed at the prince calling names again and again? ~_~

Yeah, calling Choi again and again 15 times got to me not mentioning all the Deras in those video calls.

Anyway about this episode, it felt like Choi was a nice unique addition to the cast. Now this episode made me kinda realise that the plot is actually quite simple and straight forward.

Well, it was entertaining enough and it's also nice to see side characters with their moments.

I don't know, I don't think the prince needed to go very far to find a girl.

Depending on their culture, as the seer/fortune teller/whatever you want to call it, Choi may not be eligible for marriage.

With that ending, I'm kind of hoping that Tamako will end up falling for the Prince just to see how the others deal with their suffering.

Will Choi take a page from the fat man and just be happy that the person she loves is happy? Will Mochizou man up and confess before his love withers away as well? Same for Midori I guess, with her being unable to "protect" Tamako.

Hell, I think Tamako would suffer the most if she develops feeling for him because she would have to decide whether or not to leave the market and mochi.

I like Choi already, she is definitely a good addition.

And as others said, the bird deserved the abuse.

Anyway, this is getting a high "unrequited love" vibe. Mochizou, Midori, Tomio and Choi have it tough, don't they? Though maybe 2 out of those 4 still have some hope. Let's see how it all goes.

PS: Suddenly I have a craving for peaches XD

Poor fatty.

Choi's a little bitch, but I didn't mind seeing Dera get put in his place lol.

I'm surprised by how I am able to enjoy this show, it's not my normal cup of tea.

But it seems that unrequited love is something of a theme.. I hope that everything works out for Ouji :S

I love how this episode draws out the romance theme in 2 (or 3?) levels, criss-crossing the requited love of the tofu seller with the approaching marriage of the daughter of the bathhouse owner and used it as a background to contrast the search for a bride for the prince, which in turn is seen from the eyes of Choi who clearly has her own (so far) unrequited love towards the prince. And of course we always have the ever ongoing unrequited love from Mochizo.

And I really want to know what punishment is meted out to that bird for lying to Choi and framing Tamako and her family for his stay in that town. His crime is not just the lying, but pointing finger to innocent and good people for the mistake he made himself.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Don't you dare to try to pimp out Tamako to some prince, god damn it Mochizou only gets more love rivals. This is getting ridiculous -_-

This episode was fun. Still Choi was a hit and miss, I loved her interactions with Dera. But man was she annoying when she thought Dera was trapped at the market by Tamako and the peeps. I'm glad she warmed up at the end.

And wouldn't it be hilarious if Choi also found the awesomeness of Mochi and became a fat blob like Dera.
Too bad KyoAni likes their little girls thin and cute...

Like the others said, she reminds me of Azusa as well. Though Azusa is not bossy at all. Azusa is more like a mix between Choi and Anko. Either way, they can't replace Azusa, she is still way better :)

Best episode so far. The addition of Choi made this episode and the show much more interesting. She gave some much needed life (and also some plot) to the show.
And I hope this doesn't turn into a show about a bunch of people with unrequited love.

This was not my favorite episode. I did however really like Choi. I'm not the biggest fan of the big misunderstanding cliche, but this one was really funny. Mainly because it was born out of what a lazy slob Dera is. She was definitely tsun which I usually enjoy, and it's nice to have someone to keep Dera in place. I didn't mind him at all this episode, and I think it was entirely because she was there keeping him in line.

I thought the one shop keeper's story with the fortune telling was really weak though. The delivery of him and the bath house owners daughter was just so tepid and cliche. And I really just don't think I knew enough about either character to really care that much about whatever romantic drama this episode was half assedly stirring up. The only part of the entire subplot that worked for me was the silent scene between the sake bar guy and the bath house owner.

I mostly liked everything with Tamako and Choi in this episode. I think it was a lot to fit in over half way through your show, and it wasn't the most graceful of entrances. But Choi is a compelling character who kind of works for me in spite of her silly exotic nature. My one complaint would be I am as always kind of repulsed by the bath scenes. I'm sorry but the style of this show is too cutesy, and these girls are portrayed as too young it kind of bothers me. Especially Dera as always playing the voyeur. I didn't really understand what the deal was with Choi passing out either. Maybe that happens a lot to people who are new to hot springs? I've never been in one.

The ending of the episode seems to suggest a direction I thought the show was going. Choi smells some scent we've heard Dera refer to before on Tamako. It seems more than likely since it's pretty much all we know about this side of the plot, that Tamako will be the one this prince at least wants to marry. This will be interesting at least, can't say I'm excited.

I guess there's no point in me questioning why Choi and Dera can both speak perfect Japanese as that's hardly the most ridiculous thing presented in this series.

The tiny marriage subplot with the afro guy and megane was so hilariously unimportant. Though I guess there's only so much development you can do with 12 episodes, but please just stick to developing the main cast please, they desperately need it.
