A great and funny episode as always
Hinata though was so adorable in this episode worrying about the preparation if her homemade lunch for the boy that she has a crush on.

Wow that ingredient list is pretty long
and probably pretty expensive as well
3000 yen for one lunch does seem expensive

Lol Hina comparing the cost of the lunch to the mc and the cats though
yea that was awkward lol

Too bad that she wasn't able to give it to him though
But considering the taste maybe thats a good thing lol

Though its already been established that Akari has a great caring personality and its nice to see that she didn't give Hinata a rawl lol.
They are still sisters after all and all girls go through these
phrases of life as they grow up
Even Akari did as she calmed Hina down
Well with Akari teaching her im sure her skills will get better


Lol Boldoro being invited by Akari
so comes another stranger lol
Akari just loves things that are soft and fluffy lol

Nikado's butler uses GPS to find him eh
instead of magic lol

I wonder how the people will react to Kyouko. I expect a lot of hate, though I personally think she is the most interesting character in the manga next to Rei.

Was Rei sexually abused in his childhood? Dafuck? Is that is indeed what happened, poor boy, it seems life hates him.

Nikaido actually made the hottest girl of the series got wet. What a man.

Hina's segment was sad, but, fortunately, she was able to recover from that at the end :)

wow the first chapter was so kawai :D And the talking cats always get me.

Hmm but I somehow dont want Kiriyamas shogi "friend" to be with them. Especially when he totally steals the attention.

Once again I have to admit, if this was not from shaft I would totally not be watching. But I expect great things to happen in the future!

Rei's past seems to be full of sad happenings.

Now I understand why it is they say sumo wrestlers get laid all the time in Japan.

I felt bad for Hinata. She wasn't able to give her bento box to the boy she likes. She worked hard to make it. The cats with their own dialogue continue to be funny xD Momo was cute in this episode as well. Akari fondness for Harunobu was hilarious! As for the flashback Rei had, that was unexpected. Left me speechless and wanting to know more.

Those cats give me life! hahahaha.

There´s a nostalgic feeling around this anime, specially around Rei. Every time I watch Rei it get me a heartbreaking feel. It´s hard to explain.

This episode was sweeter than the previous one but I like who they get you in alert just by that little flashback about Rei past. Was really powerfull.

The reference to Macdonals and "My neighbour Totoro" kill me hahahaha.

I´m really loving this show.

Another enjoyable episode! =)

All of the sisters got their fair share of screentime. Hina's attempt at her bento sadly didn't succeed, but because the taste of it was bad, it was a slight blessing in disguise that she didn't give it to her potential love interest.

Momo was absolutely adorable when she saw Nikaido and thought he was similar to a cartoon creature. Not only that, but Akari has a soft spot for rounded things, so of course Nikaido would fall under that category as well.

What I didn't expect was a small flashback of Rei being pinned down, which looks like sexual assault to me, by some female (Kyouko?) in his past. Who knows what her intentions were back then, but I do see more light being placed on Rei's past in future episodes.

----------------------------------------
Hinata is just adorable in this show. This episode also made me a bit hungry with all the ways they were making food.

A bit of baseball themes as well while the show still retains a good amount of realism and emotions. Rei's chemistry with the girls still remain charming imo.

Baseball themes? It was literally just a guy playing baseball, the episode had nothing to do with baseball or any baseball themes.

The last part with the oldest sister and the fat kid was hilarious. Seems like a good coming of age story. MC seems to be having more problematic past than we initially assumed.

My favorite recurring bit in the show is "X reminds me of Y kind of anime/manga character", I think they did that twice in this episode.

It's a very charming show, it can feel a bit aimless though. Not sure what it wants to be--I find the transitions between the "cutesy" scenes and the somber scenes jarring.

I like how they do interior monologues from several people's heads this episode too. The animals are a bit much but I like how they always use weird mics for the animal dialog.

This is currently the most funniest episode as of yet!
1st Lunch made by Hina was terrible and the right decision not to give this to the baseball dude from Hina's school.
Who's that woman on top of Kiriyama while lying down!?
2nd part is much fun with Harunobu!
Momo is more fond of Harunobu because he justr looks like Bodoro!
Akari has a weakness with soft round and plumpy objects...I mean living things including the friend of Kiriyama.
5/5.

It is an exercise in style, what does the directing. A striking example of how to combine business with pleasure. This time there is a whole bright and warm narration, after so many sad moments in the past and in this here, it is useful to laugh and relax, even learning a few secrets about the characters. Fantastic designs and the soundtrack, great scenery!

This show is so freaking good lol. I love the way that they do the cuts to show emotion and reactions and it's great XD So Hina has a crush on this guy and puts in all the work but doesn't get to hand the lunch to him ... aww :( It's OK, even Akari has had that happen huh? Plus there was a nice tough to their mom too. Although Rei's flashback ... what was that? Clearly something happened that made him wonder about women and love ... was a girl forcing herself on him or something? D: Anyway Nikaidou is hilarious as always, and Akari's reaction ... I sure didn't expect that lol XD Plus even his butler joined in and brought snacks after confirming Nikaidou's being tracked LOL. I guess this is gonna be the show I eagerly await each episode :P

Still not fan of Nikaidou, I find those scenes with him extremely irritating. And the second part of this ep was just weird, even more so with Akari's crush on fluffy and round things.

First part was good though but the comedy is still bad (Shaft can't simply make it right).

And now I have to wonder - was Rei's sister coming to his room to "abuse" him back then? (as seen in flashback?)

So, er, Rei got... raped by that woman, right? Oh boy. I wonder how long it'll be until the series really touches on that properly, as that is some extremely sensitive subject matter to be dealing with if my assumption is correct.
Not even the manga touched upon that properly yet, and we still don't know if something of the sort really happened, and I've been waiting literally for years, and still nothing, so unless the series takes some big liberties, don't expect it to be elaborated on.

I'm of the same opinion, Kyouko is like the most complex character of the manga aside from rei himself. Too bad the manga put her on the bus and left her forgotten for years now, this being the reason why I dropped it until she reappears (if someone will remind Umino about her already, geez.)

I really hate Nikaidou so that's the show for me. I was hoping he was going to stay on the periphery and be in the shogi focused section but now to see he's becoming a mainstay of the "at home" sections means I don't want to watch the show anymore.

Still a solid show and something people will like if they don't mind Nikaidou. I just really hate Nikaidou.
Yup.

It seems like Rei has had an experience at love judging by his memory when he mentioned the word love. Too bad Hina never delivered her lunch to her crush Takashi, what did she expect he is a baseball player and popular.

I'm sorry Momo-chan, Rei isn't your oniichan. They lied to you. Kill them all... now. Just kidding. Momo-chan is so cute <3

I was feeling sorry for Hinata but when she started to throw away that lunch bunch my stomach made me yell D: How dare she throw away food! If that Takashi baseball maniac doesn't want it, then eat it yourself! then again, since it tasted like shit, I'm glad she didn't give it to anyone.

Nikaido is probably my favorite character in this entire series, he's such a lovable guy and I'm not going to lie, I feel so sorry for him and his kidney disease. Yes, he's rich and all but money won't be able to solve it. There are rich people who pay for expensive kidney transplants and they still die.

I love Akari and Momo's reaction to Nikaido. I wonder if Akari's crush from junior high looks like Nikaido.

I don't like how the MC was pushed aside this episode, i feel like the girls should show him more attention!

I didn't liked this episode,clearly too focused on the secondary character and all these humor scenes damn...

Still its a 23 eps anime and they have all the time they need to refocus on the main character so i will pardon these "not really important episodes" i just hope there will not be that much.
the fact that u think the sisters are just secondary just means that u will hate this show because they are as much of a main character as Rei

Not that i didn't enjoy the episode, but not at all the best episode to follow up with how the last one ended, imo. Would have been better to ride that momentum than to immediately cut to what was predominately filler material.
