That head clerk really still has allot to learn about how he should treat his staff and it's no surprise that they weren't listening to him and decided to quit.
There aren't many people that would stay at a job where they are treated like that.
He really came over like a jerk and when they put him in his place he needed to be stopped by Ohana else who knows what would have happened.
It really came as no surprise that they quit.

Ohana was pretty funny this episode still thinking that she should do her job and all.
I wonder if she learned something, she definitely knows now how to not treat your staff.

I found Minchi's reaction to Yousuke really funny because Yousuke reminded me of Tohru xD

I guess this episode was mostly to learn more about Yuina. Seems like she's not very happy with the future planned out for her. Maybe she'll call off the engagement?

Anyway, great episode. So this is now focused on Yuina to "bloom" in her age.

The head clerk has still a long-way to go. My yuri-senses suddenly rang when Yuina hugged Ohana. lol

New OP seems better than the previous. ED was ok but the autumn leaves were so refreshing to the eyes. =)

The new op and ed weren't bad, the ed was nice and laidback but it still was pretty plain.

I liked how Ko was still in the op though, and it looked like Ohana might've been returning to Tokyo at the end.

As someone who was assistant manager for awhile at a pizza place. It's brutal. As much as i was never as hard on subordinates as this Yousuke guy seemed to be. When you hire part timers, expect shit attitude and walk offs.

You always are under the suspicion you'll be doing their work when they disappear or run for the cell phone.

It's obvious they wanted to throw Yousuke under the bus as they bailed. Most walk offs don't bother explaining their decision. In typical fashion they exaggerate his faults and hide their own.

Yuina's choice of a time to answer didn't seem appropriate either. It's almost like she wanted to break his spirit at that moment. I guess it might illustrate that she doesn't care that much about him anyways, so giving her answer there would make it more absolute. It also makes her point about her lack of desire to be a waitress/manager completely understood.

The beach scene was nice. Also, it was kind of funny what they did to Minchi. She's such a party pooper at times. She needed to be tossed in the ocean.

Ohana being gung ho as usual. That aspect does seem to be getting a bit worn out.

Nako in the ocean with the red goggles was funny. That girl loves to swim.

You guys do realize this is the most ecchi of this series episode. Right?


About the ecchi, I figured I would point out the amount of it. Now many of you know that things just seem to fly by in anime but I tend to pause that and catch some rather ecchi parts of each character. Goes back to having a knack for details.

  • Yuina was rather nicely shown in her swimsuit in the spoiler
    that ass and appearance. The frills may have been good on her swimsuit but it did not stand out, it was more her physique.

  • Minko got way more fan service in the spoiler
    even some with Ohana but not so much. You can run pretty much the imagination wild with some parts of Minko being shown in that spoiler. Pretty wild, I got some libido going around like those boys here.

  • Although we all know Ohana's ass through Zinmo's comment was shown and that top of her swimsuit but was your body prepared for a Yuina x Ohana in the spoiler
    well certainly it got me by surprise.
    Especially seeing Ohana's leg up in the air and the way Minko stared.

  • Despite all that there is nothing and I mean nothing ever that impressed in the fan service than that of Ohana in the spoiler
    a good look at Ohana's behind, legs/breast (even thou covered in soap but who knows about the Bds/DVDs) and hand/feet is a amazing threat. Especially doing this GIF right here it was.
So all in all the fan service was over the top more than before.

About the OP2, there are some rather interesting that I would like to point that some people have been talking about.

  • There is interesting new shot of Ohana jumping out of the train in the spoiler
    it's rather interesting because it's different in variation. There is also Ohana running from the bird and I do admit that Yuina's smile here was quite enchanting to say the least

  • Really interesting to see Tomoe do karaoke in the spoiler
    mainly because she has such a passion for it with those tears and enthusiasm being shown while she sings. Poor Minko being shown to work hard here while Ren and Tohru are seriously observing the quality of the food. It says a lot that Ren/Tohru may be stepping up their intuition in picking better foods while Minko will be working harder.

  • I so want to know like now what's up with the Sui and the tomb in the spoiler
    her husband? Her mother? One thing for sure there is a lot of sadness in her at that part.

    While I am interested in Satsuki staring at the Tokyo view through the window and thinking

  • There seems to be a rush display in the spoiler
    from Ohana rushing in the school to get out to Tomoe rushing in the kitchen to Ohana chasing after her friend while in work clothing and them are in school clothing. Does it mean Ohana may quit school to work? Can it mean she is having a hard time to catch up to her friends in school matters/fun in life? I mean there was a lot in this episode about that.

  • Now the big thing of Kou everyone is talking about. Well according to the spoiler
    he is in Tokyo and does look worried but I would not say sad. While that train passes I am thinking they showed Ohana thinking and smiling afterwords. This could mean a thoughtful happy resolution between her and Kou but he may not be satisfied with it. I am not sure it shows this happen after Ohana does what she has to with Kou when the time comes or before she goes back to Tokyo to settle things with Kou. No matter what I will rage for no Ohana x Kou. I had bad vibes of marriage of Ohana x Kou since Yuina x Yosuke may go down in waters.

  • I find this OP shows a much better and excellent in the group depiction in the spoiler
    that was rather nice.


About ED2,
  • It has a rather very nice group pose of everyone in the fall that has a much better view in the spoiler
    not to mention a good depiction of Minko's hair running in the wind and one of Yuina's/Nako's hair running in the wind. So it's really much more nice and simpler. It seems to suggest that the series may finish in the fall, which sounds good because it should end around that time in September. Right?


About preview, oh my! There shall be some Yuina licking a ice cream for some fan service? More Minko fan service. Uh oh looks like a fan service push again. Yuina will be interesting to see here as to what exactly she is doing and Yosuke's reaction since he is there.

Thankfully it didn't became the fanservice fest it seemed like in the preview. Apart from a bit warming up between the girls nothing substancial happend though. Yet more time wasted on another uninteresting guy that's basically Tohru with different hair. They didn't even refer to the similarites in some way, so it felt just like reused material.

At this point I think the show's pacing is too slow for the amount of characters it got, so they remain shallow for the most part.

I lol'd at the kappa.

At first I thought the opening was going to be a "continuation" from the first one, since they are getting off the train in the beginning that they had took at the end of the first OP, however as i rewatched there's no connection between them. Would have been cool lol

I liked the previous ending better.

Preferred old OP and ED.

Yuina is a strange girl, I can't seem to understand her. Her fiance is a jerk, imo. The part timers were right in that he spends time talking to Yuina while being rough on them for slacking off. Nonetheless, the part timers looked like assholes as well, with no intention of working hard or taking work seriously. Oh well, this is what happens when douchebags meet douchebags. Yuina was surprisingly harsh at the end. That was the crappiest timing to reject Yousuke.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Well in regards to the ED I agree with both of you that the old is better but IMO it stands as in terms of music. In other words old ED music is better. Visually this one has a better simple approach.

Doesn't he always look unhappy? He is the type of character who would be very affected by unrequited love and Ohana being his best friend makes it worse. He has nobody to share his feelings with and keeping everything inside must be hard. And Ohana-hime is being a complete bitch to him so ya, he is and will remain depressed for a while.
And I don't want them to be together. Ohana doesn't like Ko it seems, so, they should end up being single .

Where is my half naked Tohru??~ hidoi des! *pouts*

Great new OP & ED actually. The episode was nothing spectacular and indeed Yuina's rejection was a bit harsh but only because she did that in front of everybody.

The new OP is very close to the first one (same direction, same band), thus fantastic, and the new ED is probably better than the first. Other than that, I really liked how Yuina was developped in this episode, she's a very good character, and the setting - a modern resort by the ocean - is quite interesting for the Kissuiso girls. We also had a small management lesson, so everything was cool in Hanasaku Iroha this week/

Yet another episode that needed more Nako. Given that it was a particularly fanservice-y episode, Nako's exclusion is all the more glaring.

Yuina is an interesting character, and if she is getting her own arc, it will be interesting to follow. This was only a so-so episode for me, but it begins a new plot line that could be promising enough.

The part-time girls were a little pig disgusting, but so was the treatment they received.

Still hoping for more screen-time to flesh out and showcase Nakochi.

While I admit the way he treated the part-timers was bad, I was happy to see he told them to turn off their cell phones while on the job. There's nothing I hate more than people taking personal calls during work hours.

For a fanservice episode this wasn't so bad. The only part that was over the top was Ohana showering. Minko getting forced into the water was hilarious, but if that were me I'd be mad they soaked my hoodie. XD

Dang it, now I really want to go to the beach. It doesn't help that it's painfully hot out today, either.
