I think this episode was alright.

We got everyone trying to brainstorm ideas for their project. I find it amusing that there's that guy playing music alone in peace. Nice to see Koharu keeping the spirit high.

Nice episode.

Love how the team spent time to understand Manoyama's wood carving culture.
Kazushi-san is too much of a man, respect for him working on a carving for a dead client and continuing the work of his master.

I liked Tatsuo's shoes as well. :3

Sandal getting into that cop car was hilarious. XD
Loved Yoshi's little pep talk to Sanae. <3

That drawing that Sandal drew was pretty cool, it's a pretty long way off but I'm glad to see the girls take their first step, also glad to see Sanae back.
Time to decorate that station like no one's ever seen.

It's nice to see everyone learning more about wood carving. They want to put it to good use. The sandals Tatsuo made are pretty. It's good to see Sanae back. The drawing Sandal made was gorgeous. Looking forward to see how the station will look like.

Very informative episode about wood carving and I liked that all of our girls were to learn so much from it that they managed to successfully get their plan off the ground with this first step

Also I liked how we got that Sakurada/Sagrada name drop in this lol xD Good episode overall, and I'm really happy that Sanae got her groove back and that she was able to find common ground with that one dude

And that's the explanation about why Kazushi become that strict when it comes to Ranma. At least now Sanae know about it clearly and look for another way to contribute for the team by first convincing Kazushi to give permission to the team for using the Ranma.

Build a whole church with carved wood, wtf Yoshino...I like your thinking.
Also did the waitress casually ship Sanae with whatshisface-kun?! She is too good for someone I can't even remember the name of.

I thought exactly the same. Also the waitress is a fortune teller, so that ship might happen. I think that dude, I mean Tatsuo-san is a good match for Sanae, come on! he did gorgeous shoes and helped her get back on track.

This was honestly a fantastic episode. I just can't get enough of this show. This is shaping up to be something really good.

They came up with great ideas and I can't wait to see it all come into reality. They just took their first big steps! Also glad that Sandal-san was involved more. We need more Sandal-san really XD.

Sandal being a key to saving the town. His art is pretty damn incredible.

Using the art of sculpturing and ranma to revive the town seems like a long-term project to me, 100 years to finish seems reasonable to me. I wonder how we will get to see the progression.

Sanae without lipstick is beautiful.

Yeah I know. I prefer Tatsuo though, since always the nice guys are the ones to lose..

Sandal might be a slightly weird character, but his colourful art gave Yoshino's team the inspiration they needed to make some much needed progress on their project.

I doubt their plan will take 100 years to complete, unlike the Sagrada Familia, but they gave a goal they want to hit and with the Ranma carving Kazushi worked on was put to good use as something that tourists to the town will first see after coming off the train. A good start for the project then. =)

Overall, it's nice to see Sanae finally regain her motivation to help out Yoshino and the others with her expertise and she also got some praise from Kazushi as well.

Koharu x Bus driver has been my ship for a while now.

I am starting to ship Sanae x dat Kansai guy. And I believe it's a good match. Idek how he's not worthy of her (unless you are comparing appearances. even then he's not bad-looking)

God is this gonna span over 100 years now. Are we in for some serious feels? or wut. I am terrified.

Who else though Sandal was getting arrested?

What actually happened was pretty funny though.

Very glad the Sanae is back with them and helping out again.

Hooray, we got a good ending, a lot of positive things happened in this episode, it looks like the hard work our queen and her friends are putting is paying off.

Really good episode. Finally the girls are making some headway.

The carved shoes was a nice idea on behalf of what's his face. Carved shoes, etc, seem likely to be a hit with female tourists.

Sandal turning out to be some edgy artist was cool. I thought maybe he was being picked up for an immigration offense and he would be deported!

Using the ranma to decorate the station was brilliant. Sanae is back for the win.

IIRC it was around this point in Shirabako as well where the series started to take off.

Characters are getting fleshed out nicely; and the chemistry and storytelling have ramped up a notch. Love the subtle humour that PA Works keeps pumping into their shows. Them be trolling us with the Alexandre S.D. Celibidache in the opening credits. Lol.

Seems someone didn't know the difference between Vivaldi and Gaudi, guess Italians and Spaniards won't be happy to hear that.
Anyway Yoshino's new idea seems to have some effect even tho most of it was a bit exaggerated.

One of the slower episodes but the characters make up for the slow pacing. I really like that they worked together to get a result everyone is excited about! I can't wait to see how they follow up on their ideas in the next episode

An okay episode but not great. Really, this anime is inferior in almost everything when compared to Shirobako, sometimes it feels as mere rehash of that show, just with less interesting topic.
It's not bad either but very average. And way too mundane in a sense.

Putting the wooden sculpture to train station felt like a nice idea but in the end they achieved nothing, surely that wouldn't be enough to raise the city's renown as those sculptures are pretty often in Japan. Another work of art that would serve as dust gatherer in few months.

Pretty great episode tbh. It resolved all the conflicts from last time in a really cool way. Making the wood carving shoes was a little silly to me. But using the ranma for the towns bus station was a really cool idea. I also am starting to warm up to hippie dude with the stupid name. At first I thought he was kind of annoying lol so random character. But he's kind of grown on me. And that picture he drew was pretty trippy. Now Sanae has had her self realization arc. Looking forward to the other girls getting theirs in the weeks to come.

Warning: minor episode spoilers ahead.

This was a surprisingly fantastic episode. It's all summed up in this:





Now, this breaks a fundamental rule of storytelling: finish what you begin. But by breaking this rule, the author makes their point even more profound.

Most of us don't like to consider how temporary our lives are. Perhaps that's why we all wish to do things bigger than ourselves, things that will live on longer than us. But maybe there's a less self-centered reason too. Each generation only gets to run the world for a brief period of time. What we do will lay the foundation for every generation to come. Maybe we don't all have what it takes to change the world. Maybe the world isn't even ready for the change it needs. But in some small way, if each of us leaves the world a bit better place than when we arrived, it is worth the effort.

I'm not just reading into things, either. It's actually quite brilliant how the author tied things in with Kazushi's ranma. For the past couple episodes he's just been there, grumpy and engrossed in his work, but now we learn the reason why: that his master started the ranma, and then passed away before he could finish it. And even when Kazushi tried to keep up the job, the customer who ordered it died too. His work was met with only death after death until there was no point left to it... or so it seemed. By putting the ranma up in the station instead, it gave new life to everyone who had a hand in its creation--an obvious parallel to what Koharu and co are trying to do for the town itself.

It's quite impressive how they worked deep themes like that into this story. Really caught me off-guard with how well-written it is.
