Oh I'm starting to like Rinko even more now. She's got that big sister feel and helped Poco overcome his fear of height on that bridge.

Great chemistry between the three main characters. Such a charming show. I hope Rinko gets more spotlight like this episode. In the meantime, she's also a tough girl to not mess with!

Lovely episode. Rinko is a lot of fun, bit intense at the start. That punch!!

Yashima sure has a lot of Tanuki. Poko looks adorable imitating that Tanuki Statue.

A bit dangerous jumping on the bridge. Souta doesn't like bridges.
So sweet of Rinko to calm Poko down with her little song.

"I love Souta" "I love Rin too" Ohhh that is so sweet.
Maternal Instincts.

Far to many tanuki statues.

Souta, time to decide. Is your 8am to 7pm job back in Tokyo, and your (most likely) hole in the wall apartment, worth going back to? Yes/No?

Man, this is quite the show. I like Rinko and how she teases Nakajima. Lol she was thinking that Poco is Nakajima's kid with some unknown woman.

Rinko isn't good with kids and she's not good with Poco who is afraid of getting. They go to the tanuki filled shrine and they talk about their childhood days a bit there. And Souta remembers stuff by seeing Poco. Lol Poco runs off to a bridge and starts jumping on it. I was almost screaming "stop jumping you're brat!" Lol Souta is afraid of heights and Rinko picks Poco up and crosses the bridge leaving poor Souta all alone to die.

Souta should really tell at least Rinko about Poco. She'll find out sooner or later so it's better to tell before. Plus, Rinko might understand so it'll help him put even mirror. He's probably afraid of the off chance that Rinko rejects this idea and tells Souta to leave Pico. But I think he can try especially now since Rinko is starting to take a liking to Poco too. It'll really help him I think.

Well that would be awesome if Poco really is a relative from a General. LOL
And the one that needs help at the Vine Bridge is Souta. And after save him, Poco can finally say that "word" about Rin and make her blush.
Aahh, another relaxing and funny episode.

Great episode, Was really heartwarming.

Nice outing for the trio, Lovely dynamics between them.
So many tanuki in that temple, Loved how Poco's eyes gleamed at the different things he saw. xD
It's really nice how they integrate some adult talk, in this case Souta and Rinko reminiscing about the past and their decisions between all the Slice-of-Life.

Stone throwing scene was great.

Love how Rin who says she doesn't know how to deal with children dealt with the whole bridge situation. She appeased Poco's fear by reassuring him and then sang the song to calm him down. Excellent job.
Very sweet ending with Poco saying he loves Rin too. That blush of hers was also really cute.

It's funny how Poco is so afraid of Rinko at first even though she tried to not scared him until she reminded me of myself. Somewhat can relate to Rinko in that we're both older sister and bad with children while our younger brother is good with them. At the end of the episode when Rinko asked Poco whether he feels lonely living with Souta the thought that maybe Rinko is going to live with them crossed my mind. It's not a bad thing if it happens but gonna be worried if she finds out he's a tanuki.

Next episode Nakajima will spent time with the two of them<3 Seems Nakajima is going to appear often :DD

Lol I did think of that just now but in anime world anything is possible XD Such as husband frequently went on business trip or since Souta said he's staying till summer then she'll just stay with him till then and such. It's just a passing thought but I guess she'll just frequently visit them instead of staying with them(?) :DD

And that's another definite confirmation that the Gaogao-chan bit is basically Poco-vision, though I still don't really see the point and would prefer the extra time to be spent on the show itself, seeing as it is turning out to be so enjoyable so far.

The entire Anime is a way to attract people to that town, for Udon... But no Showing us any Udon AHHHHH.

Okay, First thing I do, I would go back to that Priest to ask if he know Poco true Identity, or a Reincarnation of their Dad.

2nd... So he ignoring work... Just Punch the Boss, and get isolated in this town already.

Another episode I felt went by so quickly. =\
Kinda wish there wasn't gaogao at the end so we get more scenes with poco & friends.

I think Rinko is ok, I'm actually kinda scared of people like her so I understand Poco haha...
But I loved that she was self-aware of her affliction on Poco & made efforts to bond. She handled that situation on bridge very well & I found her singing very lovely. =)

And now we have to wait another week for a new episode. =\ (>.<) Aah I want it be here already~

I like Rinko and Souta's bond. Also she's a fun character, made things livilier.

If I was Poko, I probably wouldn't like Nakajima much either haha.

Best episode so far. This show has good OP and ED, esp. the ED. And finally a good Gaogao segment.

It's only the 4th episode and they already compared two different lifestyles, one of a happy mother of two children with his ex-love, and the second one with his sister who didn't want to have children and is happy too, because it was her own decision not to have them. Well, they probably wanted Souta to see that it doesn't matter what choice he would make, he could still be happy. So... does it mean he will stay with Poco after all? They're so cute together <3

OMG Poco is so frikkin' cute! D: I can't handle how cute he was turning to Souta when his older sister scared the ever living crap out of him.

Poco was also uber cute while he messily ate that ice cream cone up. <3

And when Poco told Rin that he loved her too. BAAAAAAAAAW!!! D: That melted my nonexistent heart.

Waaah this show's plight to reverse rural-urban migration, boost Kagawa tourism, and to ease the problems of an ageing population whilst showcasing Generation Y with all its individuality is utterly shameless and incredibly ambitious. I love it.

Hmm, the Yashima connection with tanuki is suspicious. My current bet on the plot is that Poko will stay with Souta until he decides to stay in Kagawa, and then he'll disappear/return to the tanuki life...

not to mention Souta's childhood crush was voiced by the same person that voiced Kouko Ibuki in Clannad.
