| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Such a cute episode. We got Souta and the chemistry he has with Poco as usual. Poco tries to be useful around the house and even with making udon noodles. Plus, we see a bit of Poco in his tanuki animal form, something that I find pretty interesting as it highlights the relationship between a human and animal. Hiroshi is also such a funny guy.  |

| A message of being more accepting of our differences this week. Tanuki or not, Poco and Souta love each other, and will be together for the rest of their lives...I hope. |
| This was quite possible my favorite episode of the series till date. Simple but really heartwarming. Manabu-san is actually quite the famous guy. :o I was actually a little scared when Poco went full Tanuki cause I thought he was losing his powers to stay human. Love the parallel drawn between Poco and Hiroshi here. Both of them were different, Souta accepted both of them. :) Very nice message about accepting differences, Once friends, Always friends. Got a little emotional when Hiorshi started crying saying that he and Poco would be friends forever. Souta and Poco's relationship is always really heartwarming to see and it was especially so in this episode. Wonder if Souta will eventually reveal the truth to his sister. |

| Hiroshi is a superb, quirky character. I'd have a lot of fun with him. I wonder if Poco and Souta will get separated by the end of the series. |
| * Poco's adorableness is OVER 9000!!!!! * That monk makes me afraid for Poco. |
 |
| Really cute episode. Poco looks adorable in his Tanuki form. |
 |
| Nice episode. Hiroshi still recovering from a broken heart. All right finally some Udon making. Didn't turn out to be good, but they can keep on practicing. Poor Poko finding it hard to transform into a human again. Pretty tough on him. Don't worry Souta is there for you no matter what. Hmm the Monk is getting suspicious of Souta & Poko. |

I think the monk will turn out to be a friend of Poco, even knowing his nature. Conflicts in this type of series are short term, and I'm not even sure there is an upcoming conflict with the monk. For whatever reason, he does suspect Poco is a tanuki, but it doesn't freak him out. He is a shrine servant so he likely accepts the "super"natural as a natural part of life. If anything, the monk's experience and knowledge will likely prove beneficial to both Souta and Poco. |

| Souta finally made udon. It didn't taste like it though xD The recipe was harder to follow than he thought. The chemistry between him and Poco was so cute. I'm liking Hiroshi more and more. He's such a funny guy. |
 |
| Aww,Hiroshi is such a sweet guy! I can't believe his other coworkers were judging him like that! What Souta said was really sweet! And he's doing the exact same thing with Poco! Why can't all three of them stay together! T-T LOL |
| This episode was nice. I was quite scared when Poco was not able to turn back into human. r0kus said: I think the monk will turn out to be a friend of Poco, even knowing his nature.

 |
| Poco tries so hard... I hope souta and Poco stay together always.... |
 |
| Please I hope poco and souta stay together omg |
| It's just become harder for Poco to maintain his human form. Not to mention Hiroshi just getting more suspicious about Souta and Poco. So it's like Tanuki-Poco back to the wilderness on this episode for getting some "relaxation" of his mind and then back to Souta next episode. Or that's what I thought. |

| It was quite dramatic episode. I wonder for how long Souta can keep the truth hidden. I mean it's not like Poco can grow so the truth will be out sooner or later. |
 |
| Other than the contrived way in which Souta ended up making udon, this was an excellent episode and definitely one of the best of the series to date. It still frustrates me that Souta won't reveal the truth, but with Hiroshi he got past the issue pretty well. Still, his lies about Poco being a friend's child are catching up with him now, so it'll be interesting how he explains Poco's continued presence in his life from here on out. |
| Didn't expect this many feels from this episode. Thought it was going to be a funny one the way it started off but it got pretty intense quick. I got teary eyed at times T_T xadon said: This episode was nice. I was quite scared when Poco was not able to turn back into human. In regards to your spoiler I feel the same way. |

| they are making Udon and i was scared there for a second because he couldn't turn back |
 |
| Beautiful message in this episode. Their relation is so cute *o*, I hope they will end the anime together. Hiroshi was funny and ok with the fact that Poco could be a Tanuki, this guy is very cool. |
| Geez, this episode was adorable. It got me right in the feels. I'm still hoping he tells someone about Poco though. |
 |
| I didn't expect this episode to be that emotional. Probably one of the best episodes of this show so far, I loved it. The Gao sequence was somehow funny as well, lol. |
  |
| This show really hits you in the feels (´꒦ິㅂ꒦ີ `) |
| They are finally making udon, I thought this would focus on him taking over the shop. |
 |
| I loved Poco's udon making song! Also, Souta remembering how his Dad used to make the udon noodles was nice. Poco is struggling with staying in human form. I'm not emotionally ready for them to have to say good-bye to each other, so I hope there is some way that Poco can become a real human. I really hope that they can stay together forever! Loved the message this week about accepting people no matter how different they may be! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| Terrific episode as usual, but why do i have a feeling that the end of this is going to make me cry? |
| Oh look, they actually made udon this episode. Thanks Hiroshi. |
 |
| Hiroshi still couldn't get over with the married sister of Souta! Manabu (the one who got Poco) is also the creator if GaoGao! Hiroshi & Poco wanna make Udon! And it sounds like Souta making Udon is second nature to him! Somehow, this time, Poco is having a hard time turning back to human form! And Hiroshi almost suspects now Souta because he still clearly remembers the other day! But it's a good thing that Hiroshi doesn't care anymore and wanna become better of friends with Poco! When aneki asked about Poco, Souta must think also that taking are of Poco won't be forever/eternal. But Souta still escapes reality. 4/5. |
 |
| Another great episode! Poco is cute in his human or animal form! |
 |
| Hell, it was about time! They really should start doing udon a lot earlier, around ep 3-4. But I think there is a reason why Poko turned into tanuki again. He's granting him his wish, probably had known him or his father before he died and his goal is for Souta to open his restaurant and accept his regrets about the father. No doubt Poko willl vanish after that (feelz incoming) as he is inherentely tied to that wish. Of course he would be probably watching the from the woods. But I still have hopes Souta will get together with Sae (she doesn't seem married to when she's still living with her brother monk). To run the udon restaurant together. Or at least hint of that would be fine. |
| Through convincing, Hiroshi finally got Souta to make some udon noodles! We finally got the title udon noodles that many characters have been wanting to eat for the longest time. Poco was too cute in this episode, I wish I could hug him. Poor Poco though, his ears and tail kept popping out and he finally turned into a cute tanuki. Hiroshi, Illuminati confirmed. |
| 臭い- |
| Quite a lovely episode, I really do love where this is going! |
 |
| I like that it's getting more dramatic. Must be a sad end coming. |
 |
| Poco in full tanuki form is soooooooooo CUTE |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Hiroshi still couldn't get over Rin being a married woman. Hahaha. Poor him. Souta, Poko, and Hiroshi decided to make udon themselves and they failed at it. Haha. Poko thought what he's eating was a mochi. Pffft. While they're making udon, Poko transformed into a tanuki and couldn't transform into a human because he's exhausted, I guess. And Hiroshi noticed the tanuki which is Poko and confronted Souta about Poko having an ears and a tail, and reminisces the moment when he's a newbie at Dahama-san's company where he was being prejudged, but Souta defended him. Awww. So, he cried and accepted Poko and he doesn't care if Poko has an ears or a tail. Haha. I wonder what that monk is planning. Jeez. Don't you dare harm Poko, maaan. Souta decided to let Poko be a full tanuki when it's sleeping time since yeah it exhausts him. Aww. |

| A sweet message about accepting each other's differences this time but the lie about Poko's origin is slowly starting to crumble. Wonder how much longer Souta will keep it up. |
| The priest might be bad news but the music didn't sound ominous at all. Hopefully he's just a tanuki otaku! Poor Hii-kun, getting head over heals in love with a girl he met for 10 seconds. |
