Well this was fun. Poco going on a trip with Souta and enjoying the outdoors life.

I think Souta did freak out a bit at some points this episode. But still, the character chemistry between him and Poco was quite appealing.

Best episode after a dull phase. Yuichi Nakamura and fatherly scenes just fit, great scenes with Souta worrying about Souta.

MVP was Hiroshi though, that was superb comedy. xD

I love this series I don't want it to end :> though I do kinda hope others find out about Poco, but the question I have is, since he's the relative size of a tanuki, will he grow up? Do they grow up or how does that all work?

Wonderful episode. So peaceful & relaxing to watch.

Ferry Trip to Shodoshima. Beautiful scenery.

Poco going missing. The fear in Souta's eyes. The biggest fear of any parent is not knowing where their child is.
Poco shouldn't of gone off without letting Souta know. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt.

LOL Manabu is pretty chill going fishing.
Hiroshi's huge crush on Rinko. Too bad she's already married.
Poor guy.

Love the growing bond between Souta & Poco.

The fact that Souta is starting to think "Okay, how long can we stay together?" Makes the development of this story a lot better. Basically it's been cute and some serious moments up to this point but now it's "Okay, what's next?" Souta is meeting new people but he has to re-open the shop eventually right?

He came down on Poco pretty hard, you can't even make the excuse for Poco that he's a Tanuki because by his reaction after Souta yelled at him e obviously knows better, so i like that they still gave him more child like qualities.

That gag with Hiroshi is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. It was perfect enough when her hat was about to blow off, I thought "nice, he's gonna catch it just like she caught his map and it'll seem like fate and he's gonna try to look cool about it" and clearly he had the same thing in mind because he stopped at NOTHING to make that catch happen, damn that's some good stuff!

What is it with slice of life anime with pulling my heartstrings! I actually felt Souta's fear and his frantic search for Poco T-T
and then when he realizes that Poco means so much to him T-T
AND when he finally found Poco and gave him a scolding like an actual parent T-T
I'm just glad they're together again :)

Also, poor Hiroshi :( Rinko and him would have been great together! ....Maybe, one day....

Well that was a nice episode, Very reminiscent of that one Amaama to Inazuma episode where Tsumugi goes out by herself.

Poor Hiroshi, It was funny when he was muttering all those programming languages. xD

Poco gets unknowingly kidnapped by Gaogao-chan, Well it's not really Gaogao''s fault. :3
Souta did come down quite hard on Poco but that was expected, He was worried sick. Glad that he realized how important Poco was to him.
Sweet reunion between the both of them. :)

So Gaogao was the boss.
Also Rinko looked really beautiful in that dress, Hiroshi got wrecked. xD

This is not good.Not the "Poco is missing" part but the "Poco is missing and trapped in a boat" part. And now Souta's growing more fond of Poco.
And the "Happy" ending is... Hiroshi that get to know about Souta's older sister, Rinko. That is, until Souta said about Rinko is married. LOL

Souta and Poco go to Shodoshima to see Team Planet for Souta's possible new job. Poco gets lost and Souta panics. He does say quite a lot of things like he wants to be with Poco—stuff you wouldn't really expect from a guy looking after someone else's kid. Saeki looks like a fun guy though. I wonder what Dahama was talking about. Lol with Hiroshi. He was already thinking so far as to making Souta his brother-in-law until it was revealed to him that the woman who stole his heart is married. Poor guy. No one likes him.

This episode kinda reminded me of the one episode that Tsumugi went on her own adventure and gets schooled by her father for wondering on her own. But with Poco going on his own adventure having having Souta doing the fatherly scene.

You could tell from a mile away that Souta was going to scold Poco for his little adventure, but such a reaction was entirely understandable, especially considering how Souta is growing to care more and more about Poco with each passing episode.

Souta getting angry is very similar to that particular scene in Amaama to Inazuma. But this one did a better job.

Got a bit emotional when Poco comes back and Souta raise his voice (a bit) to show his concern towards Poco. I totally understand Souta's emotion.

What I'm happy about this episode is that Souta actually thinks deeply about his life with Poco. He starts to question about Poco's meaning of existence in his life. From before I have already some thoughts about them such as how long can Souta and Poco live together and how long can they keep the secret of Poco being a tanuki from everyone? Sure this show is not one where you have to think so deeply but I do hope that in the end of this show the animation team will give us a satisfying answer to, at the very least, what Souta questions himself in this episode.

On a side note Toriumi Kousuke really does have a gentle, relaxing vibe of voice be it in here or TouRabu :)

This anime just gets more cuter and cuter

I love how the plot went in this episode. Souta panicking when he found out that Poco is missing. His sister encouraging him to not give up and stuff. its just all too cute for a slice of life anime '

Plus the hiroshi gag is just so funny. loving a girl at first sight and then finding out that she's married, bummer. Good luck next time Hiroshi

When Souta got mad at Poco for going off and not telling him, I can really feel how he loves him so much, I hope they stay together forever.

All in all, this episode is just so sweet and also fun to watch, looking forward to the next episode

So they went with the "don't wander without telling anyone and suddenly trust strangers" kind of route to show Souta getting angry with Poco, to show the context on the last episode's "authority of a parent" . Very nice, because Poco really needed that.

I really love Souta and how he worries about Poco and Poco, in turn, have turned very sweet and civilized. I wonder if Poco will really grow at some point..cause I'm pretty sure they mentioned that he's been in that form for many years.

Although it's sad, I think the series is setting up a separation ending. Like Souta will learn the importance of what his Dad felt when he left and Poco will leave someday too, it's really telling. I also hope Poco gets introduced to the others for what he is.

Such a relaxing episode for Souta & Poco on that very beautiful white beach!
I feed super bad and pity for Hiroshi! Rinko-ane is married!
THe scene wherein Souta got Mad at Poco is exactly the same as Tsumugi & her father (Amaama to Inazuma)
The new Boss of Souta is the one who got Poco! What a convenient coincidence! & such a small world!
4/5.

I don't know what will happen in the series. But I found a great web page that goes into depth about tanuki lore and art:

* http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/tanuki.shtml

In the short term, Souta needs to fill in at least his doctor friend (in case Poco gets hurt or sick) and his sister (to expand Poco's family and be able to feel comfortable with her while in different forms). I don't think Souta realizes it, but that monk has some suspicions already, plus he is a great potential resource for tanuki knowledge. "Grandma" next door would be the fourth I'd tell; anybody who can spit out watermelon seeds in machine-gun mode, and teach Poco how as well, can't be bad.

There's still "first girl in the anime" for you, aka the monk's sister and known tawara udon fan-girl. Or is she married too? There's not much development though.

The melodrama was needlessly overdone and forced this time but at least the comedy with Souta's coworker and his sister was fine.

Still, I'm still waiting for opening of their restaurant... in fact, this is over half of the series waiting. But this episode seemed to imply he would be working as web designer again, what a shame.

Hiroshi fell in love with Souta's brash sister. LOL. Drawing some blood when he found out that she's married. Poor kid.

Souta is getting really attached to Poco and I can't imagine what he would be like if Poco died or something bad happened to him. He's acting like a worried parent.

The boss was Gagao-chan , his wife kinda looks like she could be his sister. lol

Souta and Poko went to the Team Planet by ferry and aww they're so cute when they're looking at the scenery from the ferry. They got there safe and they met the wife of the President of Team Planet.

Dahama-san told Souta that Hiroshi is on his way to Kagawa on a bike. Hahaha dafuq. And he saw Rin and he fell in love with her. And fuck she's married? Ohmygod. I missed that info in the previous episodes. What the hell, me!?! 😑 Poor Hiroshi. Haha.

Poko was missing and ohmygod Souta. ;-; You can feel his love for Poko there. I'm not okay. Glad that Poko is safe and sound, and that Gaogao is the Team Planet President and he took care of Poko while he's fishing. At least everyone is happy especially Souta for being with Poko again. I don't want these two to get separated, maaan. ;-;

It is way too easy to fall in love with Rinko.

Hurry up before everyone leaves you in the dust. It's almost as if this show is trying to convince people to get married and have kids.
