Oh poor Taihei. Getting sick must of sucks huh?

I find it kinda funny at with the delusions that Umaru had when she is "fighting" against the bad guys. Seriously though, silly stuff with the video game-like elements.

Nice to know Umaru can apparently go into her own thought bubbles. :D She kinda came across as a pet this week. Another charming outing! :D

It was cute when Umaru was fighting those virus. x3 And it definitely sucks if your Internet is dead. Isolated from the world.. xD

Taihei and Umaru lived in a condominium 10 years ago?! Umaru was so cute and innocent that time. :) And then 10 years later, carefree shut-in. xD

Umaru: "Someone who I haven't met in the anime came to the preview again."
Kanau: "Don't you worry. I'm not even sure when we'll meet in the original story either."

LOL. xD So it's Kanau, not Kanou.

Four cases showing how much of a terrible sister Umaru actually is. I know, we all love her, but damn, reality hit hard in this episode, at least for me.

Good to know that she always came back to her senses though. She can be proud to have such a great brother on her side.

Great episode as always!
The modem being damaged part made me a little depressed coz :
1) it made me realise how reliant I was on the Internet
2) The only time I'll ever be called into action in the house or be known for my existence is if there's an issue with the modem/router. D:

Bomber might've just been secretly harboring feeling for Taihei.


Kanau got more competition. Hopefully, she'll end up with Onii-chan at the end, although that's quite unlikely..

Flashback scene was adapted, what was added in the anime was pointing out the supposed plushie in present time which the manga didn't do.

When it comes right down to it, Umaru does love her Onii-chan. I like when she shows that affectionate and caring side of her, especially since we don't get to see it too often.


Still don't get how sticking leeks up someone's ass is supposed to help sick people.

The lunch scene between Umaru and Ebina (with Kirie as guest appearance) was definitely my favorite moment in this episode. Gave me a pair of watery eyes.

And it still bothers me that I can't hear Ryuuko in Kanou's voice. Grrr!

Plants in the onion family (including green onions, leeks, and garlic) have a long tradition for being used against colds in folk medicine in both Asia and Europe. One example is putting garlic cloves in wool socks and wearing them to bed--the garlic is absorbed into your bloodstream through the soles of your feet. I've tried that and it seemed to work with the cold but my whole body was pretty garlicky for a couple of days thereafter. I think sticking a green onion/leek up your butt works on the same principle, the active chemicals would be absorbed through the capillaries surrounding that area. Umaru chose an alternate delivery method by tying the green onion around Taihei's neck.

Aside from the medical notes this was a good episode to show the feelings that Umaru has for her brother. There's a lot of sibling love there in a good wholesome familial way. More on Kanau and Taihei and their past. Despite his academic brilliance, Tahei has still ended up as Kanau's subordinate. I'd like to see more of Kanau in the series, but I expect we'll have to wait for a certain introduction before that happens.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Now I know that why Umaru is so talented, it's in the blood as shown by her brother. When Umaru be nice to her brother, Taihei responded with "Did you eat something weird?" I can totally see THAT coming. No matter how comfortable a place is, it will never top the place known as Home. Young Umaru is soooo CUTEEEE! How much does she cost? *pant* *pant* Wait, what the fk did I just say?

This reminds me of a scene from Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, where Est tries to stick leeks into Kamito's ass to cure his fever.

Hahaha, both the cold segment and the net cafe outing part were both humorous and really cute, as always.

But, you know. If your router ever goes out, and you miss the internet, you can always fall back on your smartphone :)

Cuz then the comedy element and main attraction to the series would be nulled :p

I love this part.

Again, Umaru and Taihei moments are heartwarming especially when she is in 10 years ago. Damn, Kanou can punch Bomber-San xD

The Doma's siblings are quite smart though.

Overall, great episode. Hopefully the last 2 episode will be a blast.

This episode was just one big photo-op. Too many awesome moments, too many great expressions. For once we see Umaru being appreciative of Taihei's efforts, though I still don't get what there is to hate about fried green peppers (I thought they were great from a very young age).

Umaru fighting off her lazy viri with twin stalks of Negi was epically hilarious.


Umaru as a child in Taihei's flashbacks were so adorable



And the rest of her expressions were oh so good too.
[Warning: Graphics heavy]


Oh yeah, and this one's for the Kanou lovers



The fun factor for this show is so high, I just don't ever want it to end. XD

Umaru singing out of joy for recovering from her fever, it reminded me of Hirasawa Yui from K-On lol.

Another funny episode, to think that Umaru likes to collect dolls from the arcade because of the one Taihei got for her in the past, that was interesting.

Btw I'd give anything to have a manga café like that in my home town! DX

So you want her to stay a boring normal girl? you'd probably complain too if the mc was boring and normal wouldn't you? XD

Your skin/pores absorbs the nutrients of the leek and helps with colds.
sticking it up your ass just helps absorb it faster XD
