You can drop it for all I care. There are four episodes left, I don't know if they will adapt the emotional stuff yet, but the manga has plenty material for a second season. |

| As always another enjoyable episode. Why are some people incapable of just sitting down and enjoying an anime? You're bored watching? Maybe you should move on to something more stimulating. This anime isn't going to cater to viewers with short attention spans. The anime isn't boring at all, it's very enjoyable. |

Well, I can take a guess here, but the complaints are probably coming from the younger audience. Considering that this is a seinen, it might simply not appeal to their taste. |

Well, I can take a guess here, but the complaints are probably coming from the younger audience. Considering that this is a seinen, it might simply not appeal to their taste. I cannot speak for others, but as someone not from the younger audience I find this anime rather simplistic. Despite having a serious topic of loss, the series seems rather shallow and not even trying to show some depth. We see the same pattern in every episode: there is some issue and it is dealt with through cooking. Nothing in life is that simple :) I would not say that "Amaama to Inazuma" is a bad show, but definitely average for me. The pacing is too slow, the characters are not lovable (except for Mikio), the plot is repetitive. Of course, there are good moments, but they are not enough to make this anime better. The only thing for now that brought real joy was in the previous episode, when we got into Tsimugi's head. |
| Great episode again. I loved the bring your parent to school part. Though I found it strange that Sensei was the only dad there. Mikio's a fun character and also is being portrayed very realistically with his potty humor and crush on Tsumugi. The cooking this episode was also nice. I've always liked squid, so it seemed extra yummy for me! Also, the apple design Sensei attached to Tsumugi's bad looks really cute! |

| What's with the disappointment and hate in every new episode discussion, clearly this show isn't for a lot of people here in the first place but they still continue to watch? I just don't understand, do you expect any development in a so called "healing" anime which this really is is just ridiculous, it's like expecting Flying Witch which was last season to have any development. |
 |
| And there goes my weekly dose of Tsumugi and Kotori cuteness! :) Overall, very sweet episode |

But I'd like to mention that Barakamon, Flying Witch, Kimi to Boku, among others, are all what you would call simplistic, although I don't agree with that label. When I came to watch this anime, I didn't have any unrealistic expectations. I knew what I would get because I was familiar with the manga and with the genre. Otherwise I would not spend my time watching something that I thought wasn't worthy of my time to begin with. Very few slice of life offer any drama and an overarching plot. They are slow and episodic by nature. It's impossible for a medium to cater to everyone's wishes, but an anime will always find its audience regardless of whether people say positive or negative things about it. |

Naturally, I would not expect you to defend this anime, because you have your reasons to watch it and I have mine. It's just that you like it and I find it not so enjoyable. I am not sure why you see Barakamon as simplistic because it really differs from "Amaama to Inazuma" in many things, especially in so-called depth. Personally speaking, I find the 'Slice of Life' genre charming and one of the best, but it should be treated carefully. Here, in this anime, I did not find what I was looking for. |
PotatoGod64 said: I have similar feelings on this.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 |
 |
| soo full of fluff and xD too cute... poor mikio tho xD Kotori being cute... im certain at this point that eating s just Kotori's Hobby xD not Gluton but she just like eating (difference? Not sure) . Just eat even if you are in front of your teacher in the middle of class. Anyway ive been wondering since few episode back about that band aid on Kotori's hand. She always had one on her hand only when they cook. Looks like they finally show us why xD... my question answered. Mystery (not really) Solved. SoraSenpai said: 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.. DONT REMIND ME...Koro-Sensei~ |

PotatoGod64 said: I just don't understand the praise.....it gets overrated anime of the year from me Shounen maid is VERY underrated. Go watch that instead. It has a great balance between comedy and drama. Plus, it can get quite emotional. Does amaama? No, except in ep 1. Also the development is gr8 in shounen maid :D I'm curious. How is Shonen Maid underrated? |

| This was another cute episode. Favorite part was Kotori eating bread in class. Adorable~ And I had to laugh at the last line, I almost misheard it. |
| guys i an lost here, whrn it comes to kotori , all we know is that she was eating her lunch when she saw tsmuki and her father . Later they went to her resturant and eat there , plus she is a student in his class . Okay ? But it feels like kotori had feelings for sensi from the get go , or they just didn't give more depth into why kotori is into that family .Their meeting and all was somewhat fast for strangers . I just can't seems to like the fact that they have no depth in this show , the first hlaf do highlight some new growth . But the cooking part is becoming very very dull . I want to see more depth . Oh and i do like the calm paced animes such as flying witch , so i am not bitching about slow paced , just that the show has very littel to offer . |

| I know a lot of people ship the teacher and Kotori but I hate that ship so much. Teacher/Student ships are so fucking creepy, I don't care even if she turns 18 and shit. Why can't we just have a fatherly figure for Kotori without having to bring romance and sex into it? It gives me something along the lines of Usagi Drops (manga end) category of creepiness. Tsumugi's seiyuu's laugh is so fucking creepy and fake. |

PotatoGod64 said: Because its a great series (at least in my opinion), yet it only has 26 thousand members. It may seem clichéd but its rlly something special. Definetly check it out in English if ye can because the eng dub is rlly good (it got a broadcast dub) I think the big turn-off is that it's looks like a shonen ai, and considering how many things with shonen ai ended up recently, it's not up many people's alley. You can probably call it a hidden gem, however |

| Not even going to get into the argument about whether this show is overrated. Tastes differ and not everyone can be satisfied, we'll just have to leave it at that. It's not a matter of objective rating. Not a big fan of squid, but this show manages to make every dish look like golden greatness. Which is why I make sure I'm watching it right after dinner, when I'm quite content myself. This episode threw in a lot of poop jokes, making up for the shocking lack in the last couple of episodes. Know what? TEACHER WENT POOPIES! Eheh, as always, Tsumugi's funny faces make for the highlight of the show. Thanks for the gifs! :) |

| she knows what an epiphany is haha |
| Another episode of making Tsumugi happy with food, cute! |
 |
| Love the colors and atmosphere in this scene! We can see how much Sensei and Tsumugi happyness means to her.  |
 |
| As always fun episode to watch. This show is solid 7/8 for me :) |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Cute episode with some more Kotori blushing faces. Loving it. Great episode. |
| Even if imperceptibly, the narrative structure is changing is the thing it can not do well in terms of involvement and evolution of history, I liked much this episode. He has also deepened a little character kotori, although it is too little for me. Happy that we talk a little also of Tsugumi mother. GG ! ;) |
 |
| It was hard to watch everytime the mother is mention. I got a laugh how Tsumugi reacted when she touch the squid. |
| When I'm eating squid, I only eat the ring part body of the squid and I always avoid the tentacles! Just like "Calamares" YUM! 4/5. |
 |
| Another adorable episode :3 just love her reactions! |
 |
| People complaining this being repetitive and starting to get boring and yet still over half of the people gave this episode a 5/5. They are either contradicting themselves or not voting at all. I for one kindly gave this episode a 2/5. Up to this point 2/3 of the show, almost every episode is about a single father making different dishes with his daughter and a JK. With just that it's amazing how this show is getting a score of upper 7s. I am not getting any heart-warming feelings from this and as a lolicon myself, I don't find Tsumugi cute in the slightest way. Her hair is a mess and her looks and voice is pretty average for me. Just in case people ask, I'm not dropping because I rarely drop shows I have started and I'm interested to see how they will bring about the remaining 4 episodes. |
 |
| this episode makes me want to have a kid. I want to do class activities with a son/daughter, too. |
| What an tactics to embarass Mikio mother in front of classmates by saying poop, haha. Thats a good thing to keep her mother memento. Normal squid dish is okay but I love dried squid the most <3 3.6/5 |
 |
| So nice to see the Parents' Day proceedings! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Sensei wasn't prepared to hear that someone proposed to Tsumugi. |

That's why most women were usually married between 12 and 16. That was the effect of one of the most fundamental laws of nature; also pedo is illness where some1 sees only children sexually and Ephebophilia is illness where some1 sees only teens sexually (unable to get off from adults, also pedo is unable to get off from teens and Ephebophilia is unable to get of from pre-teens) and yet some life long married couples started like this, even modern day and places where sex between 18+ and below 18 is illegal, law doesn't forbid dating just sex so if they fell for each other its not our place to say they shouldn't be together, if the younger counterparts parents don't like it cause they feel he or she is sus (don't trust the older counterpart that he or she won't cross that line) then they can forbit it even get restraining order if parents word isn't enough and in fiction its matters even less i just side with love if the 2 are in love each other i don't mind them dating (i even ship them) as long as they satay in a certain boundaries just cause it could cause issues, teen pregnancy isn't good, its hard for teens & right new i am not talking about this anime i am talking about the issue overall :) that's also why i am not against student teacher romance even if the student would be my own daughter unless i know somehow (like i heard him talk with a friend) the guy only wants to use her then i would not support it if she would be my daughter & cause hes good guy i would even try to get him out of that hole so he would start to think of woman again & i would try to match him with Kotori (in other words i would try to make him & Kotori couple) that ofc after seeing how they spend time together like that sometimes love can happen between teen and older, some cases the older doesn't know the age of the younger1 and u can't ask cause if u do its way to ruin ur chance to find a partner and when u do find out later u can't back down or ur chicken (cause feeling don't go away just like that, and i say we humans need to follow our feelings when it comes to romance), do what ever just try to stay in the bounds of the law cause when ur in jail that doesn't help any1 EDIT: BDW i misunderstood what u were saying, i took it like he is her father figure (witch would mean ur blind to whats really going on) but what u meant was in ur opinion hes better to her as father figure then romantic interest i see them as cute couple, and she wants to be hes baby mommy, that's obvious, in anime i ship chars i see as good match regardless of age, as long one isn't pre-teen cause that's actually disgusting |
