| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh my god... Tohru!!!! This is going to be complicated :P |
| And suddenly... a new ending theme! Overall, I love how this show uses light, comedic and cartoonish way of storytelling to comment on real life problems. I really like the atmosphere, and the music also adds to it. This episode didn't disappoint me, too. I just wonder - how (and when!) is Ohana going to spend all the cash she earned, since she works all day? |
 |
| My heart was so warm after this episode. This is a really great show. I'd love to see more like this, while it has the drama, it goes about it in such a friendly manner. Pretty much what kFYatek said, it has just nailed atmosphere. I'd also like to mention I still think Minko is a terrible character. Stop being a bitch for gods sake. |

| This show is only getting better and better, cant wait for next week. I wonder what minko will react when she finds out about this situation :P |
| Oh my goodness... Tohru... Trouble is ahead. I can already see my future self, my heart breaking for Minchi. |
| I thought that they were going to stick with the clothes they found, but I guess it was a one time thing. I just laughed at the ending when Tohru smiled and his boss dropped his food in surprised. This is going to be so surprising for Minchi and Ohana. The later episodes will be sad and awesome. |

Gosh I really love this show, I got such a nice feeling when it finished.. it felt like a good ending for an arc, let alone an episode. <3 |
| GREAT EPISODE!!! I loved how much more important Tomoe, Ren, and Beanman were this time. They had a lot more lines and interaction. And yet the one person who had just 3 lines, Tohru, completely stole the show. Little theory I have... maybe it wasn't Ohana he was looking at, it could be Nako, notice how she was in view every time. But I think it's Ohana but I wouldn't be surprised either way. How shocked Ren looked when the girls were in the new outfit and again when Tohru smiled was precious. I was worried the show would go over the deep end into fan-service, but thankfully it didn't. That consultant needs to go for a swim... a long one in the middle of the ocean. How did shocking the customers work out? huh? |
| Eeeh!? Since when... -goes to watch- |

My feelings exactly. Ko is going to walk in at the worst possible moment, maybe Ohana will be dusting, fall of the stepladder, get caught by Tooru, thus leaving the two of them in a position that suggests that they were kissing. Then in comes Ko who promptly drops his luggage and stares in shock and then enters various other members of the cast who all get an eyeful of the suspicious situation... This is all from the top of my head, but with this series I wouldn't put it past them. |

Anyway, whatever happens, I'm looking forward to the drama and character development. The more a character gets beaten up, the more they grow and become more interesting as people. Call me a literary sadist. |
| Enjoyed the episode and from the looks of things - Tooru is starting to show his feelings for Ohana from the obvious looks he's been showing throughout this episode X3 |

| A really satisfying episode, really brings allot of relaxation to me. Those Kimono's where pretty nice and i liked the reactions of the customers towards them, and the definitely soothe a hotel like that better then those China dresses. It was also pretty funny when they where wearing those dresses tho it seemed that guy was really in trouble. |
| Great episode. At first, I thought that they're just trying to create opportunities for fanservice but the end proved me wrong. It was really satisfyingly good. :) And again, Yuina <3  Also, Tohru. I sense trouble ahead of you. |

| Great episode!! My heart was also warm after I watch this anime. They changed a bit on INN, let's challenges. So cute! Tohru smiles in the end, maybe he happy of Minchi improved of cooking. :D In the previews WTF is going on haha. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| OMG! OMG! Yes yes Tohru definitely has a crush on Ohana!!! I was waiting for this!!!~ Kyaa ♥♥♥♥ Cannot wait for Ko to appear in the inn and I am dying for the complicated love drama ahead!! ♥.♥ |
 |
Yukari_Hiwada said: Oh my goodness... Tohru... Trouble is ahead. I can already see my future self, my heart breaking for Minchi. ^This too! It's already painful to wait for the outcome. And Ohana is just too cute when she got her month's salery. ^^ |
| Tohru... there's a storm brewin'. The head chef already knows it and he's flabbergasted as hell. Great episode this week. |
 |
| YO! IF KO DOESNT COME BACK, IM SOOO SHIPPING TOORU AND OHANA!!!! LIKE I SWEAR! TOORU AND OHANA IS REALLY GETTING CUTE!!!! During this show I kinda felt a possibility of Tooru liking Ohana, but NOW IM SURE HE HAS A CRUSH!!! THIS SHOW IS REALLYING GETTING GOOD! PLEASE HAVE SOME TOORUXOHANA NEXT EPISODE!!! >w< |

| Man, sorry to Minchi fans but i was dying for this to happen. Im so Tohru x Ohana OTP! Tohru is so cute and HOT I also love Ko, so im waiting for a awesome love polygon. i can already imagine Tohru being jealous when he meets Ko. Angsty love is coming,yayayayayayyy, i love cliffhangers! |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Ko, you'd better show up quick or you're going to lose Ohana. At least do it for poor Minchi's sake.... This was also the first episode where the young master actually seemed to acknowledge that Ohana was his niece. Loved how she was so excited at earning the equivalent of $250 for a month's hard work. This is probably one of the most stable living arrangements she has had for quite some time. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
geezer said: Does Ohana really think that the problem can be solved by showing more female skin without comprimising herself and the staff? I just find that her "logic" gets harder and harder to understand with every new episode. She's the weak link in this episode and I think it sort of fits the impression I had of her in episode 05. I am not sure whether it's naivity or pragmatism, to me it just seemed unrealistic. I compare it to her reactions in episode 3 in which she was kidnapped and protagonist in an erotic novel. I think the reason she thinks that way is probably her mom, who is an author and quite possibly had Ohana "assist" in some of the "research". She grew up with a rather slutty mother, so I think the way she acts just fits her upbringing. Now as for being the weakest link... I will admit I liked her a lot more early on and now Tooru, Minko, Ren, Nako etc. are quickly bumping her down in my favourites rating. I hope she returns to being more interesting... perhaps when Ko shows up in 2 or so episodes. But I think the show isn't about Ohana, it's about her discovering the other characters, she's just a vessel for the story, so even if I grew to hate her, the rest of the cast is just too interesting. |
| That was a cute episode but I'm glad that they didn't decide to stick with those dresses, just what aspect about them makes you think of a hot springs waitress? Derp. Anyway I hope that Ko comes soon. He and Ohana would've been an adorable couple. :U |
 |
| Well that was nice, new ending theme and everything. Looks like we'll get some nice drama with Tohru...and hopefully Minchi will stop being such a bitch. next episode looks...different XD |
 |
| Tohru and Ohana would just make a great couple!!! I hope he really does like her. But I hope this doesn't cause Minko to start acting even more mean to Ohana, cuz that can be kinda annoying. This show just gets better and better, and I look forward to it every week ^^ |
 |
| Such a good episode, but that Engrish, haha. |
| Oooooh! A new challenger arrives! Tooru x Ohana vs Tooru x Minko! I think it's a love triangle... (Minko loves Tooru in a tsundere-like way, but Tooru seems to love Ohana. Of course, I think Ohana is still thinking about Ko) Good episode, dat Engrish. |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| I think show need more yuina than customers.. AstuteOtaku said: Ko is going to walk in at the worst possible moment, maybe Ohana will be dusting, fall of the stepladder, get caught by Tooru, thus leaving the two of them in a position that suggests that they were kissing.

This is all from the top of my head, but with this series I wouldn't put it past them. I hope this won't happen. this show don't need cliched and predictable situation like this. I support Ko x Ohana pairing. the guy had guts for confessing his love in very first episode. i really don't want love triangles between tohru, ko and minchi. |
 |
| That consultant chick makes me think she's Cruella Deville's offspring with the car and hairstyle. Ohana's uncle is so pathetic pining over her like he does. It just reeks of desperation and she's most likely using that as a tool for making money. It's like going to a strip club and dropping money on a girl and think just cause she's acting nice she really likes you. NOPE, your just a ATM to her. Tohru's taking notice of Ohana is misguided. He thinks she went to bring him back from Fuzuka hotel. When really she was doing it for Minchi's sake. I can't see them together at all. He's a bit crass and snippy and she's bubbly and loud. It would be like mixing water and oil. Obviously Minchi being the quiet obedient servant isn't working. I just don't think Tohru sees her in an equal light. I really do think it would have been better for their possible relationship if He went to Fuzuka Hotel. At least their relationship wouldn't be of boss and underling. Ohana's no holds barred approach is fun to watch. She's not afraid to put her foot in her mouth at all times. It was funny to see Ohana get excited over make 240$ for a months work. I do think room and board are factored in but that's not a lot of money in Japan. The other thing is I get the feeling that envelope partly exposed on her bed seems like it could spell trouble for next episode. I'm not sure how prevalent stealing in Japan is. But in the US you wouldn't dare do that in a place that wasn't exclusively yours. Makochi looked gorgeous in the chinese dress and classic kimono. Ohana looked good in the green kimono. It was very Moe. |

| Tohru smiling eh... that was a shocker to the Boss he even dropped he's tamagoyaki xD I liked the kimonos though they're so pretty <3 I like this episode c: so nice the consultant lady.. I was like "OMG... SHE SPEAKS GOOD ENGLISH!!! ...damn its too good.." lol just saying xD |
 |
| Tooru x Ohana? OMG!! Minko would kill Ohana!!! But, I think she may already have a clue. |
 |
| Was I the only one shipping TooruxOhana since the 2nd episode?! (;° ロ°) LULZ @ head chef dropping his food in shock of Tooru's smile XD |
 |
| consultant and her ideas were horrible. I can't believe girls wanted to wear those revealing dresses, especially Nako. Tooru x Ohana seems impossible, since Ohana knows Minko likes him and she didn't seem interested in him so far. it would be interesting to see it happen though. (hope this isn't double post ~_~) |
| damn.. if only the heron appeared, this episode would've been more awesome.. anyway, nice episode and it's slowly bringing up the elements that i like more in the show while handling the other parts of the show, the romance elements, in a very subtle yet highly entertaining way.. man, the look on that head chef as he sees Tohru smiles is so funny.. next week, we get more Mamiko Noto moments and soldiers.. soldiers? what??? |

(;° ロ°) LULZ @ head chef dropping his food in shock of Tooru's smile XD No. xDD I actually started shipping them since episode 1. :P I've stuck to them since the beginning, even if people said that they didn't see TooruXOhana at all. And now I go: HA! xD |

| Very sweet episode. Direction is fantastic once again, I'm glad Masahiro Ando tried a slice of life this time. |

Ohana x Ko or Ohana x Tooru, either is fine to me, although i prefer a bit more Tooru x Ohana XD |

  |
| After watching the first episode I actually told one of my friends this: "Watch. I bet you that the assistant cook (Tooru) is going to fall for Ohana." I so shipped them since the beginning. xD I was like: Dayum...xD He's hot. He's gonna go hot for Ohana sooner or later. xD |
| Nice atmosphere, relaxing and healthy fanservices. This episode is re-watchable. That Takako remind me of Chihiro Kawashima from Occult Academy :9 |
| . |
| what a heartwarming episode,but Dat preview?! for some reason it makes me think Tomoe is a ex solider XD. sad that Yuina was only in for a few seconds but they were nice :). |
 |
| tooru is so noticeable in this ep.. xD |
| It's be such a funny twist if Tohru admitted that he he liked Nako instead of Ohana XDDD |
| Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars. |
