OOH, are we getting into the god mascots' side of the story? Hell yes.

Molded in clay, and it cannot trust its environment built in where the Tajimi girls do their pottery. Lamenting how Himeno and Kukuri absolutely wrecked it whie Forehead-senpai a.k.a Touko treats it with respect, the clay has a mumbling life of its own being managed by the youngsters with different aptitudes.

Kukuri's wishy-washy-ness has the clay calling out to her most of the time, and I admit that was kinda hilarious, espeically with the eyebrow mistake. It's like if Tensei Slime's Rimuru was the clay that had a makeover externally without being able to shapeshift.

And so it is, it's purpose to grow plants with that hole, and it has largely stayed there ever since for Mad Demon.

A really good episode, this is one.

Funny episode. Mad Demon's backstory was so cute!

I loved that psychotic look on Mika's face. xD

Eheey we got the origin story of one of the kappa mini statues, certainly unexpected lol. If you ever had any doubts in your mind and heart about a clay having feelings ... this episode exists.

Ah, that's make sense with the ending. So there's a story of why the little kappa pottery statue that always stand in front of their pottery club room, got that 'decoration' above his head. Though, never expect them dedicate the whole episode only for Mad Demon. No wonder, because Mika expression can be more mad than demon Lol. Forehead-senpai xD.

I melt....

I thought this series would never make me care for something like Mad Demon lmao. I thought it was surprisingly wholesome and entertaining in my eyes. The fact we got an episode focused on his point of view was a nice change of pace and I'm glad he ended up appreciating "yellow curls"

I liked it

I didn't expect we'd get the backstory of the blue kappa, much less an episode solely on it's POV lmao. That was pretty cute.

What an amazing episode. I loved the idea of adopting the point of view of that piece of clay that would become Mad Demon at the hands of the best girl. This was the episode that amused me the most so far.

Mika is a treasure. She's so cute and hardworking.

Another great episode. The idea of using Mud Damon's POV (lol) was a nice change of pace but my god, who would have thought clay can be such a tsundere, huh?

This episode was really fun, I like the idea that the clay is sentient and getting to see the reaction they have to who’s working with them, also liked how the clay in question slowly warmed up to Mika over time, she really is delight. It was also nice that we went back to summer for this episode, as much as I love fall I have been missing summer a little bit.

The live action was great as always as well, the girls guessing what each tool does was fun, as well as the drawing part, they always look like they’re having a lot of fun.

Mad demon: That forehead senpai,LOL

Mika's so creative and positive, she didnt falter with those little errors and turn it into something creative. Such a nice character.

An episode that knows how to combine fun with teaching. Really enjoyable, relaxing and hilarious story, thanks to the character of Kukuri, who on this occasion is "in great shape". To make the narrative even more comical, they should have put a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode to make people understand the stranger to all sorts of violence against any piece of ceramic clay. Another pleasant factor of this episode is the surprise you get when you discover the topic on which it is about, frankly I would not have expected that they were talking about the statue of the mad demon and that he had participated as the protagonist of the story, excellent la performance of the voice actors of the Mad Demon and Kukuri.

I really enjoyed this episode. Very original dynamic change.
I wasn't sure why Mud Damon was calling her "forehead senpai" until they showed that chibi version at the credits. It makes sense.
5/5.

I really loved this story! It was so heartwarming and engaging!!

I was really impressed with Mika seeing how she was not disheartened by any incident with her work! She always looked positively at the situation, seeing the bright side, adapting, and finding solutions.

I was in awe! For me, she is like someone from another planet! I could never overlook so easily the issues that come my way! I wonder if Mika's approach can be learned 😁. I would love to train in that direction!
