Lol, this episode was amusing with Umaru getting photos taken and not to mention, she also gets her hands on the camera.

Ebina is still shy as hell. I find it funny that she took Kirie's advice and is taking the initative to get closer with Taihei. Plus, she did get a somewhat intimate moment with him thanks to Umaru messing up her cooking.

Umaru and Hikari's rivalry is priceless :D

The first half was sad with that store closing and stuff.
I liked the Hikari vs Umaru cooking battle.

With the thought that this show will be over soon in my mind, I found the first segment somewhat melancholic :/

But it was a pretty fun episode overall, Ebina and Taihei ship parts was good as always,Umaru vs Hikari and the Hamster faces were nice too xD

PERFECT episode, indeed!

The moment and that stupid face from Taihei what Umaru shot with the camera, and Umaru laughs was priceless, as the cook battle between Umaru and Hikari.

Liked the bit emotional part of the ep., and we've got more funny Umaru moment again.

Looking foward to the next episode!

Amusing episode, although the part with the mall was sad.

Them siblings taking photos of each other then there's Umaru taking photos of Taihei like us. Lmao. Zoom it in his face, but NO she freaking shoved the camera in her brother's face. Hahaha this gal. So nice of Bomba-san to give Taihei a camera, I wish I have that kind of friend despite it being an old camera. Idc! Lol.

Dangit who would've thought that scene at the old department store which is about close down with Sylphin and Umaru will be so sad. So adorable of Sylphin to make memories with UMR before it closed down.

EBINAAAA! WAAAAH. So happy for gal to be touched by Taihei. Hahaha. Touch in a good way. Jeez. Hahaha.

Umaru being such an overprotective and overly jealous little sister is so cuuuuuute I'm gonna lost my shit. Now I'm craving for pancakes! ;-;

OKAY DANGIT I THOUGHT UMARU'S HAMSTERS ARE GONNA DIE WITH THEM HIGHLIGHTING THAT FOLLOWING SHIT. I HATE THIS SHOW. ;-; THANKS FOR SCARING THE HELL OUTTA ME.

Is it just me who thought Umaru is so fucking cute this episode? I mean, she's always cute, but dang there's something about her this episode that I'm drooling with her cuteness, I wanna smother her with my hugs and kisses. Haha.

Another great episode :3 The camera part was really sweet to watch, and the pictures were hilarious XD I keep saying this but I'd love a segment in the past with Taihei and his friends in high school lol. Then the part with Ebina helping Taihei cook and Umaru trying too ... hahaha. Plus when Hikari came over and they both messed up but Taihei was going to eat their pancakes anyway ... darn it now he's adding me to his harem too T_T Can I find a guy like Taihei plzzzz LOL XD Sad to see the mall go, but that's how it is nowadays. Things get torn down when they're not profitable :(

This anime makes me feel so nice. Especially this episode, because in the end memories, pictures and nostalgia is all we got. The power of pictures!
Bomba was right, take as many pictures as you can because in the future you will love watching them.

The good thing about anime is that it teaches you that things are bound to end so we need to move on and cherish the memories after watching the show.

I swear if they hadn't shown those hamsters moving, I would've thought they were dead.

This season of Umaru has a lot more feels to it. It seems most Sylphen segments are fairly sad. She's always so stuck on the past. But Sylphen is still best girl.

The first few parts of the episode somewhat feels nostalgic. At the same time, it made me sad to see the department store shut down. Nonetheless, I'm glad to see Umaru holding and taking photos of their new camera. That photo of Taihei was indeed hilarious.

It's nice to see Taihei and Ebina, along with Umaru, to be cooking together once again. That piece of advice of Kirie was funny too.



Also, the cooking battle between Umaru and Hikari was indeed funny. Although, I thought that Hikari was able to cook the pancake well, the result was the opposite.

Glad those hamsters of Umaru are having fun alongside. Their names are cute, Hamjiro and Hamsaburo.

I'm a bit mad at Taihei for not worrying even the slightest about Umaru's, her own little sister's safety at the frying pan incident. Sure, worry about Ebina falling, but not give a single fuck about the one actually close to the flaming oil :(
It was Umaru's fault of course, but at least show a bit of worry... She could have burned herself.

This is one of those rare times that I disagree with Taihei, those two hamsters were clearly enjoying playing with Umaru and they really do make the same faces all the time. Also, I don't wanna say some personal sappy shit but we might not always see if our pets are under stress but they are pretty good at sensing if we are stressed and would try to cheer us up some way. Knew it by experience.

I found this episode beautiful, besides being as funny as always; the main topic seemed to be nostalgia.

Apart from that, Umaru is apparently feeling a little more simpathetic towards Hikari Kongo. I feel curious about how their relationship/competition will develop.

There are only 3 episodes left and I don't want the show to end :(

"How is that acting natural?" Well, considering Umaru always acts like that outdoors you could say it's her 2nd nature. But yeah, most people can't even distinguish her indoor and outdoor mode. TBH, I think it's only the Motoba siblings who don't recognize her?

Did Taihei just make an ahegao face? LOL.

I feel like Umaru-chan has slightly more dramatic moments compared to other cute girls doing cute things anime? But honestly, I think this anime does it slightly better as I generally like them besides a few scenes.

Small malls are nice if you wanna avoid the crowd. But yeah, they usually lack places you could window shop. Also based on my experiences they tend to get bought by bigger mall chains.

Umaru is pretty close with her brother. Why can't she just tell him she's uncomfortable with Hikari around? LOL. Kinda a plot-hole since Taihei should be able to trust her at this point (unless if this is the 1st season we're talking about), but maybe I'm just a critic.

I get that Umaru's a brat but the show has been Umaru improving thanks to the wonderful people around her (as opposed to improving since people are being horrible to her). I wonder how would their interactions improve but seeing as this season is already towards its end guess I'll read the manga, and I'm usually just anime only.

Hikari's even more selfish than Umaru. I don't remember Umaru eating Ebina's, Kirie's, nor Sylphyn's meal portion.

I guess Hikari could have been introduced in the 1st season so she'd have more time to develop. But thinking about it she'd distrupt the 4 girls dynamic of the previous season. IDK.

I don't have pets. Some people say some animals need enrichment. Although Taihei and Kirie do have a point. Some animals get stressed when you interact with them too much. I just don't know which applies to hamsters.

A episode about the memories, at least the two first segments. I wanted to see more of those photos and Bomber is so right about the photos, also that mall was very fun, I thought it would last longer and those thoughts about the future are so harmful. I thought Hikari in this episode would have a lot of screentime but only appeared in one segment again and that thing she let in their house I thought that was some present, she was introduced too late and has very few apparitions. Good episode

For those experts in animal care, can you confirm how well the hamsters are treated and if she plays with and cares for them correctly?
