Heh this episode made me a little hungry especially with some of that delicious food.

The part with the bear got my eyes rolled a bit though. Yamabushi Kunihiro's appearance this episode seemed like a fun addition to the series.

Kakaka appeared :D
Couldn't stop laughing when Heshi and Micchan started singing while making Udon. Burst laughing when Naki and Mikazuki sang too.
Yamabushi using his attack line to throw Hakata was funny too. (Hakata got some booty)

Kogi please come home <3

Fun episode! It was pretty happy go lucky throughout. It actually made me like Kakaka and Mutsu, which were characters I never really cared for before.

Also Ishiki scene <3

The ED was good as usual.

I was bored at first but then Mikazuki appeared and made me interested again! His singing is so cute! Second half of the episode was good. Made me like Otegine and made me like Yamatonokami a little more since I began to lose interest in him. He still has yet to be a good protag in my opinion and still has yet to be an interesting character in general but he's okay.

I feel like the udon making part of the episode was based on the Sanjou Porridge chapter from the touken Anthology.

http://m.mangafox.me/manga/touken_ranbu_anthology_touken_danshi_makuaigeki/v01/c014/1.html

Saniwa was sick so the sanjous decided to make rice porridge to make them feel better. It could have been a coincidence in the similarities but a lot of these Hanamaru episodes feel like they took inspiration from the anthologies which isn't particularly a bad thing ( I mean if it was based off of the sanjou porridge chapter, at least they included mikazuki who was in the chapter ) disappointed that the sanjous again didn't get any interactions but mikazuki was there so im happy.

It's been all but confirmed that next weeks episode will be a beach episode so I'm really excited to see how that will go. I hope to see my favorite characters in swimsuits enjoying themselves!
Also the ending theme was very good but I don't get why Otegine was the center focus in the ending despite the fact that Yamabushi got more screentime than him. Oh well.

I wouldn't say this was my favorite episode but it was one of the better ones. LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK!!

Alright episode. That part where they broke out into song was embarrassing, but other than that the expedition seemed fun and their Master got better. ED was nice.

Best part of this episode was definitely the singing part haha I laughed so much.
They all care for their master and I'm a bit curious about him... however it would be one more name to memorize haha my head can't take much

finally Hakata, Otegine and KAKAKA is here.
That singing part with Jiji and Nakigitsune in part A, Mucchan is the captain in part B.. they care about their saniwa this episode. Hakata's KAKA is cute.

Poor Otegine in the expedition time...
Can't count how many KAKAKA is in this episode.
Cute and super energetic ending so who will be in the next episode? I think Urashima Kotetsu.. (Dragon King Palace) haha..

That singing was awful. In all honestly I was ashamed to call Hasebe one of my favorites during that, heh.

The rest wasn't bad though. Sooooo beach episode next week?? Can't wait, even if they will all pretty much be wearing the same thing lol

That cooking musical was so cheesy I couldn't stop laughing. The way Shokudaikiri would keep talking to him normally as he sang in reply. xD It seemed like the opposite of what you'd expect.

That song was awful and really cringey. I had to actually skip it.
I guess Otegine was kinda cool. Kinda.

I was not expecting some singing in this episode. It sounded okay. Everyone wanting to help their master from the fever was nice to see.

The first part had me cracking when they started singing while making the udon. I had thought 'Eh?! Did this just become gourmet anime?' I had treated it as a comedy at first until I heard Nakigitsune sing his only one line and when Mikazuki appear<3<3<3

The second part is heartwarming where they try to find the fruits for the Master to let him gain his health back. But I do think that the main reason why the Master fell sick must have been to sew the trunks for the Touken Danshi to use in the beach and then the Touken Danshi in return cook food and do things to let the Master get healthy again. The event just went round and round. Since they're talking about going to the beach does that mean we're going to see them going there in the future episode? Can't wait if this is true!!

This show continues to win major points with me, and it doesn't even have to try at this point. The musical number while preparing udon was probably one of the funniest things I've seen from anime this year. I want this on DVD so bad, it's got such high rewatch value.

Udon making with singing was a bit entertaining!
That spear stance of Otegine in the ED was awesome!

first is High School Musical, toudan edition. It's silly, but maybe that's the point. I liked Nikkari there.
second part is pretty nice, funny with a dash of character development.

Wow... they were singing... and cooking... what the heck am I watching? I would have been so embarrassed if someone walked in why I was watching this, haha. Anyone who came into this show expecting samurai battles will probably drop it after this, lol.
