Tamako's parents' love story, check.
Anko's young love, check.
Tamako's and Mochizou's (hopefully) love story, check.

Mochizou should just 'fess up already.

That's KyoAni for you. Making a show about mochi and a speaking bird and still manage to add such great moments.

This is in my opinion the best episode in the series. Weaving three love stories (the father, Mochizo, Anko) so seamlessly and still give good spotlight (and cute moments) to other characters (particularly Midori and Kanna as well as Choi and Dera). Tears, laughs, warmth, and passion are all there with abundance. We even know now why Tamako took a flower from the florist everyday. Also great to see Mochizo at least got some happy surprise from Tamako !
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.

hehe tsundere papa.
a bit cliche and all but the love story between the parents was really touching :') and look,Tamako inherited the neck mole from her mom.
How Mochizou covered his mouth so the girls can't perceive how he started crying.
;w; so cute and honest! ♥ happy 17 birthday !

Oh, what an heartwarming episode...

Takana_no_Hana said:

What I like about Kyo Ani is that although moe shows are their business but they don't forget to prove how good they are in the story progress. Every little bit of it contains feelings, love and human relationships between friends, family, couple and they were nicely done. Even a single scene like Tamako's father was playing guitar, singing his love song alone while looking at his wife's pictures made me *sob *sob. What I want to say is, don't judge the book by its cover. It's not just the artworks that hooks people, but Kyo Ani's contents is fun, entertaining, light-hearted, touching and beautiful to watch.


I totally agree, and that is why the joke "KyoAni = cute girls doing cute things" annoys me. In views of the quality of KyoAni's works, I find it disrespectful and unfunny. AT ALL.

Fortunately, KyoAni is far above that.

Agreed. The writing and development of Mochizou, the father and especially Anko really made this episode great.

This was such a sweet episode, I have a hard time forming anything coherent. I just want to hug all of them and tell them how wonderful each of them are. Worry about each other, carrying their love through whatever happens. It is beautiful.


I second that! Best episode by far in my opinion. This series tend to leave me feeling really happy after every single episode c:

I wonder what happened to their mother. It seems like they lost her at a very young age.

Tamako is 16 (almost 17) and Anko 9 years old. I guess she simply died during Anko's birth (from her reaction she doesn't remember her at all)
Edit: In the beginning of ep4 her mother seems to be still alive and Anko was like 4 years old then. So, she died some 5 years ago.

Anyway, it seems that Tamako is not so clueless as I initially thought and she proved it twice this ep, finally!

And those last four minutes are really divine :)

Also, time moved very fast to autumn - I guess girls are now in second year of their school when Midori instructing freshmen in her baton club.

And I really like those little details KyoAni do - like that little under-nose finger gesto both Tamako and her father does :)

BTW - what's really written on that cake?

I see, so nothing out of ordinary in the end. Cause at first I thought it was sort of her love confession to him when Dera was saying those words. So that part (if any) is yet about to come (but with three episodes left I personally doubt it).

This kind of thing will never be displayed so obviously in anime even in the case that Tamako wants to confess, you know. And of course in this case we have not even seen any hint that Tamako holds any romance feeling towards Mochizo.

That ending was really wonderful especially now that she found the song, she was looking for, she also remembered his bday and well it just was a great episode!

Choi's dance and puffed up cheeks were great :p

Lil anko was really great as well, at least she managed to go to him!

These last few episodes have been really good. So Tamako isn't all that dense after all. She gave Anko a good excuse to go and say goodbye to Yuzuki, and even remembered Mochizu's birthday. But the best part was the dad's plot and the whole story behind the song, really sweet and touching.

This episode is by far the highlight of both the series and the movie. I love how they managed to present what is ultimately a bittersweet/sad story in a way that would be heartwarming and nice to see. And it doesn't hurt that my favourite characters were all heavily featured.
