At least Takako has the tact to wear a colored bra.
Gotta love Mamiko Noto and her lax reaction to everything going on. <3

what? no way. he's the most annoying character in the anime. I was rather happy with the developement in his arc. it's very muchlike this: if he's coming back, it'll suck. sorry for those, who want ohana x ko, but I don't see this anime as such. to me, it'd feel like those episodes are wasted, just to make him come back again. no, just no

on this episode: enishi was annoying as fuck, takako is always annoying as fuck, but the rest was okay. I am looking forward to next week more than I did to last week, because the focus will be more set on our teenage girls. I really couldn't stand those 2 episodes much.

It's obvious that they're doing side stories with other members of the cast to buy time until the final arc with Koichi comes into play again.

While interesting, it is getting too distracting. Also, nothing is getting resolved with Tohru and Minko. If anything I was hoping that possible ship would start to develop by now.

Okami/Okaasa seems to be at a crossroads now. She wishes her daughter would come home and take over. But, the daughter ain't having none of that.

So it's left to the knucklehead brother. Who's blundering again. He's so desperate for the love of that women, that he's F`ing up the entire business whilst kissing her ass. The women seems less of a golddigger in this episode. But, she's still annoying as hell.

BTW, i had thoughts from the get go that the movie thing was a scam. At the very least I had it pegged as something that would backfire completely. I was thinking it's either a scam or it would be a horror flick that would scare away customers instead of enticing them. It was the scam.

Loved this episode. So many great moments:

- Enishi's talk with Satsuki over the phone.
- Minko becoming disillusioned with Tohru.
- The confrontation between Enishi and Takako. I suspected that there was romantic tension between the 2 and this episode confirms it.
- Sui having to shallow her pride.
- You can call me ''Mom''.

Next episode will center around Nakochi. Very eager to see what they'll make of it

I got a feeling already from the start that movie was a scam.
Don't paid a shit before it's confirmed who the person are.
I doubt Enishi even think about who the hell is that person and do safe research.
This would never happend if he did.

@Sakurei: I can't really hate Koichi for not having no guts at all, but he will be back sooner.
The story can't end without solving with Koichi.

This episode was a tough one to watch. Enishi continuing to act the fool... Takako refusing to accept responsibility (though part of it was her pride)... Okamisan choosing this of all times to allow her idiot son to have his way... The lack of sense and the overabundance of stupidity drove me nuts. The brief appearance by Ohana's mom and Yuina being Yuina could only do so much to dull the pain. Sooo looking forward to the Nako-centered episode after this mess.

Thank you yet again Yuina. Cuz without you and your funny little segment at the end where you were bbbbbbbzzzzzzzz-ing on that electric chair, I would totally lactate outta frustration...

If Bright were the one doing the slapping, I doubt Takako would be able to dodge that...

Minko's face during that EnishixTakako moment was the defining part of the episode. That's precisely how I felt about their relationship. Seriously? Enishi and Takako have no managerial skills whatsoever, and it's really tiring to see them screw up so many times.

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

Indeed Bitchmaster once again you said the magical word "Yuina." The best I really find of her is the following,

simply put in your mind "James Bond Girl Yuina" she was so hot there! Put that girl in a action movie with let's say Steven Seagal and she would be good.

Good thing it was only a scam.

I was thinking they would sabotage Kissuiso by making waitresses scary and make a costumer jump off the building XDD and also a serial murder in Kissuiso when they air the movie. Those are enough to make the reputation bad. What kind of costumer would stay in a dangerous inn XDD dang, I'm thinking too much

I had suspected it was a scam… the phone call ending last week raised my tension but everyone's calm reaction made this ep feel anti-climatic, imo. A bit disappointing. I actually enjoyed the Enishi x Takako moments though (especially that slap :D) Also glad to see another of Sui's mother moments. Great for her character development.

shit was resolved. they went parted ways. it'd be okay to leave it at that, really. not every anime needs to end up in "Y'see, let's make up and be friends" with obvious direction into couple, even if everything seems to lead into that direction (which it unfortunately does). also are there people who think about ex-partners without ever seeing them again. it's kinda similar here, too. just saying

it'd make a refreshing change to fucking leave him alone. I don't see anything that is still unsettled. he was kind of rejecting her in the end, anyway. coming back now asking ohana to go out with him would be just so much of a dick move. so so so much.

had my suspicions since that phone call at the end of ep 16 that the movie was a scam. Even takako had her suspicions. but all in all was a good episode, developed enishi a bit and maybe establish some sort of relationship with satsuki and sui. Okami starting to show her soft and motherly side been waiting and wondering when will this side of sui will come out. :D

Next ep KAPPA and Nakochi!

Three quick signs that the movie was a scam:

1. No script (seriously having the failed porn writer doing a section of the script without giving him guidelines--if you are going to shoot a movie you'll have at least a rough complete script before scouting locations).

2. No film in the cameras (you don't start doing special effects scenes just for show with untrained actors--think of the liability involved), everyone on set except the hotsprings staff was expecting to get paid for their work making these scenes a total waste of money, resources, and time....unless it was part of the setup to get the contract signed.

3. No details on marketing and distribution. Who was going to show this film once it was made? Those are the sort of things that real investors want to know (as well as what is the movie about, and who the market is). This was a movie tailored to the hot springs' needs rather than a bankable property (yet another sign that the whole point was to get the investment money rather than show the film).

On the other hand it was kind of interesting to see the hapless junior manager and incompetent management consultant bumbling their way toward a relationship...

ugh please tell me this movie story arc is over. this episode was as boring as the last. they got scammed like idiots and by that I mean Enishi who looks like a complete idiot. no wonder she originally wanted to leave the Inn to her daughter, this guy is totally incompetent.

he was annoying and just dumb. I could care less if he likes Takako they are both the least interesting characters on the show. Yuina was about the only good parts here besides seeing Ohana's mom a little.

Some juicy development in this episode. The scene with pool was just great, tho it started as normal quarrel so who would've thought. ^^
Minchi gets more bearable, i sure like it. Also loved Tomoe's attitude the whole episode. <3
I might have not mentioned this, but Nakochi is Toyosaki Aki's best ever role, looking on how she sucks most of time. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

I sort of agree. I think this might have been one of the worst episodes yet. Despite the scam it felt rather anti-climactic. Like Yuina i expected more chaos. There was no apparent effect from it.

Who knew the bitch queen had emotions!? :O

She seriously acts like that because she's so jealous of Enishi's fixation with his older sister? Wow... She never showed any signs of being interested in Enishi before, so this was totally sudden. But I like it, now she's more human!
I still dislike her a lot, but she's growing on me. :D

It was quite a suprise when she was all "not my fault." and tried to shift the blame. I had no idea she was even capable of shame.
It was so obvious she knew she was partly at fault, but she tried to convince Enishi that it was all his fault, beacuse she didn't want him to hate her for it, because she likes him! :>

Takako is really beginning to grow on me, her haircut kinda irritates me- she looks like the giant in Harry Potter the one that Hagrid falls in love with. Anyway it was nice to see the adults more centred in an episodes with some love interest, their whole college debates were quite fan and I want to see more of Ohana's mother hopefully after next episode.

Minko and her face the most memorable thing yet and the Harry Potter broom stick scene with Ohana and Nako.

Really hoping for some more TohruxOhana scenes.
