| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nice episode, we got some seafood. Tsugumi's curiosity was fun to see especially with that delusion of the Giant Squid. I think the episode did a good job at the food making process as well especially in regards to the mechanics. Not a fan of seafood myself but they made that look good. Delicious! The telephone game was funny, loved how Mikio made a scene in front of everyone. |

| Teacher takes a break to check up on his daughter's class, just for a morning. Talking about handmade bag and mothers being awkward about teacher not having time to make it every year. He mentioned about getting a new one, but she wants to keep it because it's from her mother. Cooking squid and taro. The tension when taking care of squid... Safe call for the knife. though that scared Hayami-san's character the hell out of it. Nostalgic flavor. Leftover so that they get more delicious. He decided to decorate that dirty part of her bag instead of making a brand new one. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Tsumugi is obsessed with squids this episode but her reaction to an actual squid was hilarious. Sensei being the only male surrounded by women was a little weird I figured there would be at least one other dad sensei could talk to. tsumugi getting proposed was funny especially her response. I wonder what was tsumugi's epiphany going to be? |
| That little kid got rejected by Tsumugi, rip Her face when she grabbed her pink bag was so cuuuuute |
| Mikio is a little savage :D Shame he got rejected, but he tried :D Squid ikr, gross feeling when you touch it. |
| Kotori needs some more focus. She's so goddamn sweet and considerate. |
| Great episode again. Kotori worrying about sensei in class and munching on that bread was so adorable. <3 It's really nice to see how important spending time with parents is to Tsumugi, She was the reason everyone waited for Mikio. Kouehi's glee when he found out Tsumugi rejected his proposal. XD Everything becomes sad when their mother is mentioned :( , Still glad to see Tsumugi treasuring the bag she got from her Mom. I would like to see a flashback on what happened to their Mom and it would also be refreshing to see Tsumugi's relationship with her mother. Seafood cooking was nice, The squid cutting was kinda gross. I don't really like squid all that much. :3 Kotori is so sweet, Always looking out for and helping out Tsumugi and Kouhei. |
 |
| I felt bad for the little guy who was crushing on tsumagi...... Poor guy |
 |
| Feels like it's the first time Kouhei realize that Tsumugi can be the "influential person" at that class. |

| Fairly typical episode as far as this show is concerned, but it's not as if that's a bad thing really. Seeing Mikio get rejected by Tsumugi was pretty funny, but Kouhei's reaction to hearing about his proposal was hilarious. Also, surprising that Tsumugi has such an obsession with squid. |
| Only 4 episodes left of this heartwarming greatness. ;_; |
| :3 |
| Parents visiting day...seem so fun in here, but in real life...such a shitty thing. Anyway, Kotori...as I always said, she need to married once she finish highschool. They are more of a family than other family out there. |
 |
| lmao Tsumugi's curve game too strong |
 |
| Please please...please don't let this be another Usagi Drop. If these characters start acting outside their age group and dispositions, then I am gonna drop this and give this a bad ating. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| This show is great, it's so easygoing but with serious topics running through it. OST is catchy, characters are interesting and cute. Such a delight to watch every episode! |
| I loved this whole episode, from Kotori in class, Mikio crushing, and whole thing with Tsumigi's bag. This episode melted my heart, made laugh, and even a couple awe moments. I am going to be so sad when this ends. (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩-̩̩̩_-̩̩̩-̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩) Also this, x3mslayer said: This show is great, it's so easygoing but with serious topics running through it.

| Sensei going to the child parent meeting of his daughter was nice tho he seemed a bit out of place being surrounded by only mothers. The bag issue was a bit funny as well tho they solved it nicely. And they got to make squid this time. |
| Poor boy. He got rejected by Tsumugi XD. She's such a little heartbreaker already. I thought it was amusing how sensei was the only male parent present, lol. |

| Cute episode, I felt bad for that kid Tsumugi rejected. I felt really sad when Tsumugi said she didn't want to change her bag :( |
 |
| My mother loved okra...it's one of the few vegetables I refuse to eat. I'm not a fan of squid, but it's okay in small amounts. Anyway, other than food, maybe soon we'll find out what the story is with that bandaid Kotori always has on her finger -- not that we don't already know what it's related to. |
 |
| Holy fuck that Parent's Day was adorable! XD Not a squid fan, but fantastically heartwarming episode anyway. :) |
| Oh Kotori eating in class thinking about what happened to Kouhei. The parents interacting with their kids at Kindergarten was fun to see. Lol Mikio wanting to marry Tsumugi in the future & getting shot down. Tsumugi wanting to hold onto the bag her Mom gave her. AWWWWW!!! The Squid & Taro stew looks delicious. Nice patch work on the bag. |

| I love squid so this episode made me extra-hungry if that's even possible. It was cool when Tsumugi imagines herself drifting down into the sea where she comes up an architeuthis, sees herself reflected in its giant eye, but she's a squid! |
| The kindergarten part had me laughing with Mikio-kun. Specially when he confessed to Tsumugi. And Kotori's smile is gold! |
| For a moment I thought they were going to turn that mother who is good at craft into a love interest. de_struct said: i think, kotori wasnt see her teacher in romantic side. but seeing his relation with his daughter made her remember her dad when she was child. maybe some manga reader could prove it. IMO As much as I like to ship Kotori and Tsumugi's dad, I hope this is the case. For once I'd like to see parental relationship explored without it being ruined by shoving a romance plot in it (like a certain other manga). |

| Being the only father in a group of parents must be kind of tough. Reminds me of Tomoya Okazaki. Kotori takes being watery-eyed to a whole new level. |

| Where is the potato peeler? Using a knife to cut something so slippery and small. At least cut the toro I believe on the cutting board, the risk of cutting a finger isn't as high. I like how Kotori always gets so excited when the food tastes good. Kouhei's reaction to Tsumugi rejecting Mikio, omg such a funny scene. Naturally the father would decline. What I liked the most and found most touching was Tsumugi not wanting another bag. It got a bit of a feels vibe as Koehei got them flashbacks of his wife. The apple patch made the purse look very lovely. |

PotatoGod64 said: this show is overrated, does no one realize how repetitive this is? Made your first post just for that insightful commentary on a heartwarming slice of life anime? Edgy. Confucius said: Please please...please don't let this be another Usagi Drop. Where did you get that from? |
| This episode we finally get to revisit Tsumugi's pre-school. The first half was alright since we finally get some more interaction between Tsumugi and her friends. The focus quickly switched to bags for the kids and somehow I could relate to all that conversation about kids getting new bags, or getting hand-me-downs, and Kouhei notices at once that he hasn't been paying much attention to these little aspects of Tsumugi's life. He resolves to involve himself, but then comes the dilemma of not knowing how much he should do so. What I love about this show, is the fact that Kouhei tends to involve Tsumugi's thought process in almost everything he does for her. He asks first before making a decision of whether to buy a new bag or not, and asks again when he wants to add that apple patch to his wife's bag. Heck, just the simple gesture of talking to her at eye level shows that Kouhei tries to talk to Tsumugi as if she'were an equal and not just an extension of his own will. That's good parenting 101 right there, making your kids feel respected and appreciated and building up their confidence. The cooking this time was a bit more than an afterthought but at the same time I found myself a bit sidetracked by other things. Maybe its cause I'm not a squid person myself, but I wasn't as excited for their end product as I probably should've been. In the end, it was a beautiful conclusion with Tsumugi proudly showing her friends her "New" bag from Mommy and Daddy. Perfect way to end things this week. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Sweet episode. The cooking part felt really short but I did like the whole, 'bring your parent' to school thing. |
| Had a pretty rough day but seeing the smile on Tsugumi and Kotori's faces always puts me in a better mood. Per usual, such a nice and sweet episode. Great anime to calm your day down, at least on my end. I would really like to see a Kotori focused episode. She's such a wonderful character all around and it would be a shame if they don't for Kotori/Hayami fanboys like myself. |
 |
| Oooh poor Mikio, got rejected by Tsumugi. And Kouhei seems pretty surprised when Tsumugi tell him about Mikio propose her, and looks like he relieved when Tsumugi said she reject him lol. BTW, I'm curious how does it feel to put our fingers in squid... |
 |
| Aww, she wants to still use that stained bag just because it was from her mom.. Tearful episode. |
| So Inuzuka takes time out to go to Tsumugi's bring your parent to school day. And he's the only man there as every other kid's mother is there for obvious reasons. Lol Tsumugi rejects Mikio big time. Tough luck kid. Lol Inuzuka's reaction to when Tsumugi told him what Mikio said. And we see Tsumugi wanting to keep her bag no matter what because it was made by her mother and she wants to keep it as a memento. Inuzuka didn't know that she thought like that. She really misses her mother but doesn't show it on her face. And Inuzuka also tries his best to keep Tsumugi happy so that she doesn't feel like anything is missing or something. And they cook squid which ends up tasting almost exactly like how Mrs. Inuzuka made it back in the days. |
PotatoGod64 said: Im srry for stating my opinion but this show rlly had potential to be much greater, to be like emotional and dealing with loss and stuff like that, but instead they chose to make it the same thing every time and almost every episode feels like the same as the last. Its just flat out boring and no, instead of being heartwarming, they decided to try to make tsumugi look as cute as possible even tho she lost her charm 5 episodes ago :l +1 Unfortunately, I feel rather disappointed every episode :( |
| I want mommy's. My kokoro. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Kotori worrying about Sensei was adorable, and we have a little more information about why she always wears a bandaid and why she's afraid of Knives. I don't blame her, getting cut as a child would leave those mental scars. That squid though.. |

If you can't appreciate this heart-warming slice of life, maybe it just wasn't for you to begin with. That being sad, all the emotional stuff is still ahead. Read the manga if you're feeling impatient. But in terms of story and pacing this is a typical slice of life - it can be repetitive, it can lack plot or conflict, but the atmosphere has always been more important in this genre. And in this case it is a wonderful healing atmosphere that makes you feel better after a long and difficult day. Same goes for the suddenly negative reviews. I honestly don't get were all this bashing is coming from. Why does everyone fixate on Tsumugi without mentioning Kouhei and how he deals with loss and being a single father, how he learns new things almost every episode, and does his utmost to keep Tsumugi from feeling as if she lacks something and is worse off than other kids. And what else do you expect from a character of a little girl? Kids are cute by default, the rest of the time they are difficult, and they grow up fast. Yeah, this show skips all the real life gory details and concentrates on the fluff instead, but that's exactly what this is about. And they've been very good at adapting the manga so far. |
