This episode was far better than the rest. Awesome final scenes, I hope that they can keep this up.

Why is this so dramatic?
I came here for lighthearted and cute dancing and I find that it's doing mostly everything except that.

I did like the last scene though but i'm not looking forward to megane girl.

If there is one thing Utena taught me, it's the fact, that being called a prince is not a bad thing in the least.

Tami is cool, I hope she goes back to ballet she loved so much. If she doesn't have a passion for piano or doesn't put heart into ikebana than it leaves only being "good" at it. And I don't think she'd go a long way with only that. Unless it's some Japanese thingy of setting disicpline or something.

Machi intrigues me, she's strict but also has her priorities in check. Might be my kind of gal.

Wow i didn't expect so much touching feelings from this show, my cutefest turned into a feelingsfest.
I know people want the dancing and cute scenes but you have to get to care about all the main characters and i think they did a good job with Tami's development.

Whoa holy hell that played out like an actual love confession. I'm just going to believe it WAS a love confession and Hana and Yaya both lost to Tami.

My shipping sense is confused, at this point I don't know who I want Naru to end up with.

Also, Tami best girl.

Great episode, Naru being the one giving the push for others instead of Hana was interesting to see.
I hope the anime doesn't get bland once all members overcome their life problems and join the club.

Wait Tami's father? Tokiomi is that you??
I really didn't really expect a little bit of drama.. But oh well
For the first time, the ED just made senses.. Princess, dance, endless rains, happiness

The voices still feel awkward, I got used to the art though.
I'm not enjoying it that much, but I don't dislike it either, I guess it's just some casual watching for now. :v

Oh wow, a girl with a dad complex xD
I'm not really fan of that forced drama in the episode. Also, ''every girls admire princess'' was so stereotyped...

These girls need to fuck already.

Glasses girl goal is to find happiness? That's a bit vague... But we know she's gonna join the club :P

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

4/5

Episode that shows the evolution of natural history, with the entry of new players.
Ah! Too melancholic narrative, almost yielded the dams of my heart, it was so sweet!
Sympathy but straight to the point I see.
Not bad evolution, it is not so obvious the birth of the club, Yaya still has to give and Tami has withstood quite making excuses strong enough to defend themselves.
Drawings and animations still good by Madhouse.

Hanayamata has nice character progression. Episode 4 shows Naru's growing, though still shaky confidence. Tami's conflicted feelings over the approval of her father was nicely done and believable as far as drama goes. This brings to mind something I noticed during my first viewing of Hanayamata; each character is somehow effected by their family situation. This is a nice touch in my opinion and adds a layer of realism.

Again note the frequent images of lilies, Tami's flower, at several points in this episode.

And the OP and ED are just perfect for this show.

So far the best episode for me. Really like the friendship between Tami and Naru.

Can't wait to see how Yaya and Machi join the club.

Such a good episode! I'm loving the show more and more and I finally get to learn more about Tami. Tami does fit to be a princess. Nice character backstory from her.

I loved this episode. It was interesting seeing Tami's background and where she comes from, the internal conflict between what she actually wants to do and what she feels she must do to get the approval and praise of her father. I hope it continues in this path, and give more depth and explore the background of each character.

This episode was a relief because Naru is finally breaking out of her shell and so she is less gloomy and depressing. I like the new girl. She needs to get over her daddy complex though.

Looks like she misunderstood her father's thinking completely. Did he ever ask for her to do anything? So far nothing like that were explained in the flashback. He just wanted her to do what she likes and focus on that, but she completely misunderstand what he said.

Now that she hit puberty, an age where she shape herself into her own person, so she finally came to realize something is wrong.. but she's still too afraid to change her thinking until she finally exploded in this episode. Well.. her father's at fault as well for his lack of communication. I can say he's not doing a very good job at parenting.

Naru is brave and supporting.. Interesting to see Naru strong like this..

Less melodrama, more dancing. That's what I came here for, but this show is so overdramatic so far.
