This episode was better than the last, but I liked the first the best. I liked in the first ep how Ohana's Grandma was like some old bitch lady that made her interesting, but now she just smiles and isn't even violent anymore.

Glad to know that the train wreck known as episode 3 was a stand alone. We're now back to awesomeness. Pure awesomeness. I loved this episode, and this episode made me like Minko a lot more. Yeah, she's a tsundere, but it seems like she has her reasons. Also, the ending made me go "oh shit!" Looking forward to more.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I love this. I feel like we're getting back to the mood and tone set by the first two episodes.
Minchi feels like less of a bitch now that her motivations are explained. She yelled at Ohana in episode 1 when she tried to defend Minko, when Tohru was complaining, but since Minko is in love with him that sort of explains the yelling, however illogical the reasons.
Don't get me wrong, she's still a bitch, just a bit less now.

I don't like the new girl, she seems fake to me. But she didn't get a lot of lines so it's just first impression I guess.
I also thought it was sweet how Ohana didn't know whether or not to deny that Ko was her boyfriend. Seems like she sort of wants him to be, but can't outright admit it because it's technically not true.

My favourite moments where Ohana the city girl interacting with a wild animal.
It's a bird! Quickly, run away Ohana! ^_^

is describing ohana, i mean ohana fit in the part where she says "someone has a sharp tongue but is actually kind, someone who always takes initiative and is serious about work..xD
but well i much prefer tooruXohana coz seeing tooruXminko feels like a boring couple to see

What's a balut?
This anime is so unrealistic though. Every man would be infatuated with Mamiko Noto in a real world. This world has no taste at all.

Balut is a dish, semi-developed duck embryo. It's the kind of thing that'd be considered taboo in most of the world.
And in real life basically everyone is infatuated with everyone, it's just a matter of being afraid to admit it.

If everyone wore a nametag telling everyone else who they liked, no one would ever be without a lover. That's what I believe.

Minchi has problems dealing with emotions.
It's a common thing, when someone gets confronted and your words hit a nerve they snap and go off the deep end.

My brother is like that, except he generally just tells you how much he wants to punch you but he never does it.
Self-control is important. But if he had any self-distance he woudln't have the problem to begin with. You need to be able to be objective, even about yourself.

Minchi can't be objective, so she overreacts and chokes people. She's a female version of Homer Simpson. :D
And Ohana is her Bart.

what manga readers? this is an original anime with planned 26 episodes.. we have no way to accurately predict what's going to happen next or even more so, the conclusion for each characters unless the producers leak something..
The manga began back in December, so I just supposed it was ahead of the anime. I don't read manga, thus I have no way of knowing for sure. It's nice to know that perhaps the manga and anime have a chance at stopping at the same point rather than some abrupt end, though.

I just can't like Minchi. Hobiron is pretty funny, but something about her just irks me. Hopefully she'll get better in the future. Tohru's pretty cool though. He can be a bit of an arse, but he's not a bad guy.

Mamiko Noto wanting to kill people for having a boyfriend was even better than Mamiko Noto stealing fish. Tomoe-san ftw. Nako's also slowly growing on me. She's so sweet and she's trying really hard which I love.

Yuina seems like a nice person so far, but often in anime, characters who give off that "she's so nice!" vibe end up having a hidden agenda. Tomatsu Haruka's voice was quite different in this role. Much softer and more high-pitched than usual, but I must say that I prefer her voice in her other roles so far.

Ahaha, poor Kou-chan still hasn't gotten a reply from Ohana. I was expecting her to write down her ideas on a notebook at the end of the episode but I guess we'll get around to that next week. Kou x Ohana is so perfect. If she ends up with someone random like Tohru instead, I'll rage.

This anime seems to have redeemed itself a lot from last week's episode.

I honestly don't see why all the guys would be in love with Minko though... she's an annoying and shitty bitch imo. She needs to go to anger management classes or something, geez. I'm not a guy though so maybe I'm missing something.

I'm starting to like Mako more now.

Okay, talk about way hilarious episode xD

Comments (With a slightly different system)


Overall: It was a great episode, definitely a lot better than the weirder ep 3 before. I really liked how the episode revealed Minko's feelings towards Tohru in this episode and introduced Ohana's life in the new school. Also, that Grey Heron was hilarious xD
Score: 5 pieces of pure fried gold (5/5)

Also, next episode seems to hint more development on Minchi ^ o ^

This is a definite step up from last week, but still not quite on the level of the first two. Hopefully Minko and Ohana's relationship changes soon for the better because right now... Minko is a very unlikeable character. To the point that she actually annoys me.

I don't like Minchi at all right now, but I guess she'll develop quite a lot. I was afraid that Ohana would start having feelings towards Tohru, which would worsen their relatioship, but I guess the love-triangle will be with another girl. The new girl reminds me a lot of Kurumi from 'Kimi no Todoke'... I just hope they don't have the same role in the series, that would be way too cliché.

I'm feeling bad for Koh-chan. It's been so long since he confessed... I would be feeling pretty pissed and rejected by now. Ohana's being a bit inconsiderate, putting all the 'can't express herself properly' thing on the side. I like her a lot, though.

Wonder how long it'll take me to get used to Minko(Omigawa Chiaki)'s voice. I still cringe a bit at its high pitch-ness

A good episode.
That Yuina gives me some Kurumizawa Ume vibes and last part with Tohru kinds of strengthens that.
And I hope that Ohana's relationship with Ko gets some spotlight in the future. I kind of liked that holding the bag together part.

Again, I love this show. But I think there is something missing for it to be perfect.
But I still love Ohana <3

I also fell in love with the OP. It fits the show so well and has great lyrics and melody.

I still really dislike Minko. I mean sure sometimes Ohana is at fault, But most of them are from here not giving her a chance. And her reasons for getting mad at her aren't that convincing.

Poor Kou-chan, Still not getting a replay ;w;

I agree, expressing herself in a situation like that is the easiest thing ever.
You just write honestly what you feel and think, down to every last detail. And that is always enough.

She said that she doesn't know what to say, but pretending like the confession never happened would feel like cheating Ko out of an answer, she should have written that. That'd be perfect.

The end was a big satisfaction for me. Not only did it kill off that pestering Touru x Ohana vibes I've been getting for a while now, I'd really hate to see Ko's crush get taken away by some other dude, but more importantly Minko's dismay from witnessing hers taking the new girl for a ride like they we're really dating. Bitch really deserved it for the way she's been treating Ohana and constantly getting furious at her just for trying to be nice.

Ohana is doing it all wrong. She's never gonna succeed making Minchi her friend by being nice. She must treat her back the same way she treats her and even worse because obviously Minchi likes to get shout, slapped and humiliated. She's a masochist for all that.

I'm feeling sorry for that Kou guy. She has really left him hanging.

Wow am surprised some people now realize this. It seemed obvious to me that that was the reason she yelled at Ohana. I thought everyone knew she was inlove with the guy.

Love triangle? Hmm... won't be so bad...

except, did anyone pay attention to the scene where ohana was trying to help with serving the fish? The way Tohru talked about Yuina doesn't seem like he's in love with her at all. Of course it could be an act, but why would he need to act in front of Ohana?

Also, the part with the bonbori festival reminded me of this song...

Akari o tsukemashou bonbori ni,
Ohana o agemashou momo no hana

and I don't get all the hate on Minchi. I think she's quite a likeable character, and not at all rare in anime.

Minko wants to be abused, thats what she wants. On with the bondage immediately for her in episode 5.

lol i kid i kid. Sucks for Minko to have to see Tohru drive off with another girl. Tohru treats her more like a child more than anything else. I take that back, she wants to be abused. ON WITH THE BONDAGE.

Im really hoping Ohana gets its together with Kou. Kinda Glad she hasn't taking a favor to Tohru to be honest.

lol yeah I was kind of getting TohruxOhana vibes instead of TohruxMinchi so it was really kind of surprising. To be honest it was really sudden for Minchi to show that she had a crush on Tohru but I am hoping she doesn't end up with him. I agree that Minchi needs a greater goal in life other than Tohru, they don't see to click if you get what I'm saying.

Well I think a lot of people just assumed it was because she doesn't like Ohana. That she felt the reprimand was justified because she made a mistake, and doesn't need some city girl who just arrived to save her.
Sort of like how she got upset when Ohana made breakfast, because Minchi assumed Ohana was trying to outshine her.
Minchi's mind didn't go to the normal "I made a mistake so the staff would go without breakfast, but she covered for me."
but instead went to "She made breakfast to try to point out my incompetence and my mistake."

She did the same thing with the revenge meal.
When Ohana wasn't in the kitchen she immediately assumed that Ohana had lied about making breakfast, so that Minchi wouldn't make any, and when everyone show up Minchi gets blamed for neglecting her duties.
This is behaviour typical of people who have at some point been betrayed. They can't bear going through it again so as a self defence mechanism, instead of trusting others they always assume the worst.

Who'da thunk Minko liked Tohru? XD I kind of suspected but didn't really think it would actually happen. Plus, Ohana still likes Ko ... right? :P Hehe, wonder if the whole Tohru Yuina thing is a misunderstanding or not? XD
