I was right about Kou meeting with Ohana's mom! But this episode was so different from what I expected from the preview! Damn! I have to wait for a whole week!!
I'm so freaking happy with Kou saying he was about to abandon Ohana, but now he changed his mind!! Ok, we will just have to deal with the glasses-girl!

This shows previews are so cruel. Next week really can't come much faster.
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Everyone's shocked about the future.

Ohana was allowed to go to Tokyo.

lol @ Ohana calling "Hobilon" to her "aunt"/sister. Interesting talk.

Wow, Ohana's mother meeting Kou-chan!

Eh~~~ "Sister" already got Ohana's mother for help! And she's so cool!

Kou-chan is old taste in drinking...

So she showed the video of Kissuisou, and Kou-chan is watching it carefully.

Wow, the two finally met each other! Cannot wait for the continuation!

Rolled my eyes at all the Ko/Ohana stuff. He's just SO bland and boring. In fact, I pretty much hate every possible pairing in this series, which is unlike me.

I liked the bonding between Ohana and her "aunt". Ohana's mom also continues to intrigue me, she also does have a very nice character design.

No... Mother of god. (屮゚Д゚)屮
As much as i love this anime, i don't seem to like how Ko x Ohana would be. Yet it's pretty much going in this direction, tho i wouldn't be suprised if it didn't actually happen due to whatever :reasons:. It's so frustrating having to wait a whole week for next episode tho i doubt i'd be able to watch next episode earlier anyway so w/e.
Anyway, щ(゚Д゚щ)

Also, black tea x coke Ohana was drinking on the train, first time seeing such pairing. Just tried it with normal black tea and it tasted pretty much like shit. Guess i'll try with canned tea.

OH MY GOD.... I'M SUPPOSE TO WAIT A WEEK FOR THIS?!??!

Before I was SOOOO against Ko x Ohana! I wanted Ohana x Tohru to happen and I was an intense shipper, but after this episode I'm kinda supporting Ko x Ohana!!!

I really hope we get a happy ending!!! >.<

I swear, Ko has gotten quite manly... So now I approve of Ko x Ohana!

Ohana's mother is HILARIOUS. I love that woman.
Waaaaaaaah.. why does everyone hate KoxOhana?!
They're so cute! And Ko is adorable!

I've given up on OhanaxTohru along time ago.
All I'm personally hoping for is that a TohruxMichi ending doesn't happen.
I highly doubt that she'd ever win my heart over in 3 more episodes , even if she turned into a saint.

I never expect it would be Ohana x Tohru don't know why some of you did that.
Ohana and Ko have been friend for a long time, they are both dense.
Ohana think that Ko dump her but he didn't do that.

In the end Ko meet Ohana, it's like fate.
Well she was actually going to meet her mother but instead first he meet with Ko.
Ohana were crying, that's make it blurry I think.
Ko is confused.

I guess the tears was happiness.

The preview was so cruel that's want everyone to wait for next episode.

I wanted Tohru to at least confess to Ohana. It is pretty obvious he will be rejected for many reasons but I didn't want things to end this way.

Well, even if Tohru and Ohana didn't end up together, I don't want him to end up with Minko. I would be happier if he fell for Nakochi.

I know a lot of you don't expect things to happen in three episodes but they could. The Bonbori Festival is almost here, so this could be a good chance for Minko to get what she wants. The same for the others.

Haha yea! I like the bonding with Ko-chan and Ohana's mother. I thought Ko-chan and Ohana might miss/can't meet each other for whatever reason, but they met on the bridge! Its like fate :) They better not skip the meeting on the bridge next episode.

And Ohana like to tell the whole world about Ko-chan. Lol. Whenever people mention BOYFRIEND, she will talk about Ko-chan.

Soooo ... I think this anime is pretty awesome I do have a few comments as posted below:

I think Ko & Oh are cute its high school love its not going to be as complex I mean look at... Usagi Drop LOL (sorry off topic)

@ kleeny - I agree and can't wait for next week

LOL @ kirika - i hear where you are coming from... We still don't really know that much about ko other than he is slow on the draw... Maybe this will open his shell a bit ... (Okay probably not but here is hoping) there are only 3 eps. left we cant expect too get much unless we get a couple of hour long special to tie it all up... lol

I am "sipping haterade" on minko to be honest... as much time as she is in the same room as tohru ... (ARGH) get on with it already!!

I love this series and the look and feel of this anime it has a clean and vibrant I will miss it when its gone :( (tear)

Anywho thats all i got! Nice chatting with you all...

I've been a KoxOhana shipper from the very beginning...and I just love Ko's character even though he doesn't appear much and come off as "bland" to others. So I was really excited last week when the preview showed him. I was kind of worried that Ohana would miss Ko on this trip to Tokyo since the whole episode seemed to indicate something like that and then they met on the bridge...!! Now I REALLY can't wait for next week's episode!

I agree with aria_san. I was a little disappoint though because I had expected Ohana to see Ko earlier on in the episode rather than at the very end.

That thing with Ohana's mom and Ko was hilarious though. xD
Ko: Er...
THE MOM: I'm not about to watch porn with you. Stop worrying.
Ko: Oh, good...
THE MOM: You were actually worried?

blah a week till next episode why??? ffs cliffhanger! but loved the bonding between aunt and niece.

it was nice to see ohana do what kou does on the train "accidentally" mix cola and black tea. shows how much she's been thinking about kou on her way to tokyo. I just loved how satsuki showed kou the vid of girls during their movie shoot. he was really interested in seeing ohana working at kissuiso. lol'd at tomoe's interview

Next episode something happens ookami???

Ko also mix tea and cola together as well? Do you recall which episode he did this in?

My thoughts on this episode
I really enjoy this episode, especially the interaction between Satsuki and Ko. The comparison of how beautiful she is his friends' mothers was hilarious and of course the porn watching part as well.

Ohana/Ko cliffhanger on the bridge was fated to happen, the street lights turning on after that moment was sweeter. Some would say the meeting was force, but Ko has just left Satsuki and Ohana was looking for her mother, so its not a force coincidences at all.

Takako actually found the director that cheated the Inn out of its money, now can she save the Inn financially? It seem so easily solves

The preview for episode 24, w/ Sui lying on the bed like she dying, let hope this is not true and its more trolling like they did w/ the preview for this episode...

This episode made me turn to Ohana+Tohru. Ko is an idiot.
Honestly this episode was kind of a drag, but mainly because of personal reasons.

I don't think that the Inn would be shut down just like that though.
And what is with Sui in the preview??

It was actually Ohana who mixed tea and cola in episode 11. This actually makes the juxtaposition quite interesting. Ohana and Takako attempt a bonding session, while Kou and Satsuki watch the Kissuiso video together. (Remember also that both Ohana and Kou are brought along by the two women.) At the same time, Ohana mixes her drinks for the first time since she last met Kou, and he drinks coffee for the first time since he last saw her. Finally, the two meet at the opposite ends of a footbridge. You could say that this episode was designed for the two of them.

I agree with whoever said they never thought Tohru and Ohana would be together. It's pretty obvious it would never happen. For the first reason, Ohana had the Ko situation, and Minchi is her friend, so she never would. It was pretty much known it wasn't going to happen from the beginning.

Even though it is a cliff hanger, I am glad that we at least got to hear Ko say "I had almost given up on Ohana." ALMOST, meaning he is not with the damn library girl and still likes her. She also has a crush on him, so who knows what will happen at the bridge, but I definitely think they will be together finally.

I just wonder what Ohana yelling "Don't say all those things" was about. But you know, I feel like it wasn't to Ko. If you noticed the "You're nothing like a bland coffee" line was also placed in a different scene, so I am hoping maybe it is Okama-san or her mother she is yelling at, because it wouldn't make sense for her to yell at Ko since he's so awkward and shy. It's either the manager is saying things about the end or her mother being her mother, or someone else also talking about the end of the Inn and she doesn't want to hear it.

3 more episodes to go.

In my opinion Satsuki and Ko hanging out was.. well, weird. Even if she wanted to show him the vid and talk about Ohana, it's still random to hang out with your child's friend, especially cause she doesn't even live with Ohana anymore and Ohana didn't see them both in ages.
For a moment (end of episode 21 if I remember well) I thought Satsuki will inherit Kissuiso, but that would mean no happy ending for Ohana and Ko, so I guess Ohana will go back living with her mother and Takako/Enishi will inherit Kissuiso.

Everybody in the episode seemed so certain Ohana left het "boyfriend" behind in Tokyo. xD

Even though it was kinda weird seeing Kouichi spend the day with Ohana's mom like that, I really liked the way they did this episode. Kouichi really didn't know much about Ohana at all it seems.

I actually predicted Ohana and Kouichi meeting up way earlier in the episode, but the way they met on the bridge was very well done. Albeit it being a damn cliffhanger and I'll have to wait another week to see where it goes! Damn and blast... >.<

I love this show. Each week, it's almost always a wonderful 20+ minutes well spent. The growing bonds between Takako and Ohana, and Ohana's mom and Kou, were well done. The former was rather touching and the latter was hilarious at times. Kou was seriously thinking that?!! Hahahaha. And the women in this family - whether by blood or marriage - are absolutely amazing in their own ways. Certainly not dull.

Now onto dull...If there were still people who didn't believe it (or want to) that it would be Kou for Ohana just accept it. Sheesh. He's certainly blander than her (who isn't?) and might not be as sexy/cool/whatever as Tohru, but he's always been Ohana's anchor in a way, her rock. Plus, he's a real nice guy and completely in love with her. So, yeah, he sucks. Not.

Ohana's Mom x Ko was going to happen, you just know it was.
Mamiko Noto totally was the best in the movie parts shown. She should just hurry up and become an actress. All that talent is going to waste in the inn, even though she is the one holding it all together.

This was a great episode once again. I loved most of Takako in the following,

Who the heck taught her martial arts ever? That was one hell of an amazing capture and that mission impossible ring phone theme.

The other most vital part is the following,

It was important to me because Kou did something he did not do ever since he met Ohana last time as such Kou gets a renewed sense of Ohana and as such they meet up in thee end in the spoiler
which really sucked as a cliffhanger.

Can't believe Ohana's mother said the following in the spoielr
so it's like as a mother she does not give a rat's ass if her daughter feels depressed because she was dumped but the worst I understood is not caring because your daughter is pregnant? That is lame lame! More later.

BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler
and amazing scenery once again. Really nice ones in the episode.
