----------------------------------------
Wow, the beginning was kinda scary, i though Poplar was in love with Takanashi, but only she wanted to see him crossdressing again *phew*
Kyouko with long hair- hnnnnnggghhhh. Maya is still a silent character, lol. Drunk sister appears again and now is a frequent client, lol, poor takanashi.
Also---

Tnaks to a scary story, Yamada and Inami were too scaried of went to home alone, so they stay on Takanashi's house, and Yamada reveals to the drunk sister that Inami loves Takanashi :3 So, drunk sister has the best idea ever: throw Inami on Takanashi's room.
Drunk sister starts listening the conversation between takanashi and inami, but she started on the middle of this, so to that point, the conversation sounds wrong (if you know what i meant..)

Yep, I was quite sad for the magic hand when I saw this too. Well, it will probably be profitable to Inami and Takanashi in the end :)

Very funny episode once again and it seems like the characters are developping a bit as always. I'd like to see more than 13 episodes though because I'm pretty sure there won't be any resolution in the next two eps...

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Great episode.

And Aoi-chan is finally starting to grow on me as a character.

Poor Poplar-chan...no crossdressing and no screen time.

Well, the magic hand had to retire sometime. They sort of stopped in the middle of a scenario there... Wonder if they will reconsider picking it back up next episode. Apparently Yamada knows what a girl and a boy do when they are alone.. play old maid.

I agree that Poplar has not had a lot of airtime at all, and i welcome it as long as it is well implemented. The beginning almost trapped me into believing...no pun intended... ^.^
Yes,This show receives my seal of approval for a second season. *stamp*

Good episode. I was kind of like HOLYSHIZWTFOMG when starting out the episode. Somewhat hoped for love triangle action. Guess Poplar just loved Katanashi's crossdressing. And I guess scaring the crap out of Inami cures androphobia, because she was clutching on Katanashi's arm.

I just love the ending scene, Takanashis moment of triumph lol. I actually think it would have been much funnier with all the sisters in the house. Inami has become a much more pleasant character recently im happy. And the hinting that Yachiyo might feel something for Souma was long overdue, but glad they finally did it.

I love that Souma took those pictures before he even started working there. its also nice that Satou's love might not be quite so hopeless.

I nearly died laughing at how his sister chose to "help" them ;)

personally I think that card game they were playing was a great way to help her deal with her androphobia. though I'm a bit surprised that she hasn't played it before, most anime seem to imply that it's one of the most commonly played card games in japan.

Great beginning. LMAO that Kotori-chan is Taneshima's vision of the perfect female role model.
Nice to see Todoroki start to realize her feelings. Maybe the love won't be so one-sided after all.
RIP Magic Hand. One of the best props ever.
Yamada is such a leech. Hahaha.
Inami handled herself pretty well with Takanashi at his place. He didn't get punched once. Now if their relationship could get a bit beyond a game of Old Maid...
Where was Souma? Thinking Maya might never be introduced.

haha.. this show never disappoints me everytime I watch the new episodes every week..

I was kinda expecting a love triangle from the start of the show between Takanashi, Inami, and Taneshima but I never would have thought that Taneshima would be falling for Kotori-chan.. haha, now even Taneshima is labeled as weird (in a good way) now for me among the other staff in Working, what an unexpected turn of events..

OMG! The fall of Magic Hand!! XD
Will we get a Magic Hand ver2 next episode maybe? or rather I hope Takanashi and Inami won't be needing it anymore in the next episodes..

speaking of episodes, I just noticed that MAL updated Working's episode number, GOD!! I'm already getting depressed thinking that it only has two more episodes left, I don't want this little joy I have once a week to be gone.. T_T

Hoping for a 2nd season badly.. >_<

Next episode is about Poplar, just like I've asked....

And the old joke "What would a boy & a girl do behind closed doors?"... To think this show is rated PG-13, or my standards is too low.

I'm surprised that nobody's mentioned how Inami grabbed onto Takanashi's arm when Yamada was following them. Then again, I guess the fact that most people didn't notice shows how she's coming along in getting over the androphobia.

-Yamada's character continues to improve, in my opinion (not to mention she looked really good with her hair up).
-Satou scaring Taneshima was pretty adorable.
-Stay like this forever -> One-sided love continues forever. Poor Satou. At least it looks like Todoroki's coming around though.

With the next episode focusing on Taneshima, I'm worried that things will get wrapped up too quickly in the last episode. I hope there's a second season or something.
Ha-cha!

"When I looked at the rearview mirror in my car, I saw a headless woman"Celty? xD "*Taneshima screams*"
"While you sleep, you'll become shorter and shorter each night.""*Taneshima screams*"
"One day, the little bear in the woods..""*Taneshima screams*"
"You're not even aware of what's scaring you anymore..."

Cute delinquent Satou, short hair Yachiyo and long hair Kyouko were awesome.
No Souma but then the thought that he was the one who took those pictures was hilarious. Inami, Yamada and Taneshima are always cute when blushing and especially when they were scared.

Excellent episode. With the DVD/BD sales of this show looking good, maybe this might get a season 2, which I definitely approve. Only 2 more episodes and the next is focused on Taneshima.

Wonderful episode, loved the flashbacks of Yachiyo and Satou.

And the incident with Taneshima at the start of the episode was brilliant. Incidentally, I wonder if we'll ever see Kotori-chan again...

"Kozue: Come now Yamada-san, what do you think a boy and a girl do behind closed doors?"
"Yamada: Play card games?"

Who would have guessed Yamada said something right?

R.I.P. Magic hand ... You will be missed (by Takanashi-kun, mostly).

Yey, next episode seems Poplar-chan centric!!!

Yeah, I also noticed that. No rule of 2 meters anymore.

And Yachiyo is maybe about to develop something more for Satou, looking at her way of thinking after what he said about quitting the job.

Lol, really like where this is progressing. I never thought I'd like yamada and Inami so much. On the contrary, Poplar, who was cute in the beginning, is now starting to be annoying with her crossdressing fantasies. Definitely can't wait for the next episode, and here's hoping for another season!

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

"When I looked at the rear-view mirror in my car, I saw a headless woman" - Durarara!! reference and seiyuu joke? = awesome.

Did anyone else notice the girl with red half-rim glasses and long black hair that didn't have any lines around 11:47? Apparently her name is Maya Matsumoto, from looking at the character list. She was wearing a waitress uniform so that would mean she worked there, but I don't believe she was ever introduced in any earlier episodes, was she? Or is she just supposed to be that character no one ever notices or pays any attention too except for the viewers playing a game of Finding Waldo? She's even in the main picture on this site but really small and in the center, thus barely noticeable. I think she's too good looking just to be a filler character. It's such a waste. It would have been better to not put her in anime at all if they're not going to utilize her character's story (that's if there is any).

I don't really trust the "next episode previews" anymore, since the last one made us think this episode would focus mainly on Satou and Yachio, but instead half of it was Yamada and Inami's sleepover at the Takanashi residence. Thus, I'm guessing we'll have a decent chunk of next episode devoted to wrapping this all up.

It's hard to tell if Working!! will have a season 2 or not. Mostly I'd think it depends on the overall popularity of the series, and how much more content they can put into another season. If they're anywhere near tapped right now, they probably shouldn't. No one wants to watch a second season with too little content. *coughHaruhicough*

As far as I can tell, the anime is not following the manga storylines (a feature I am actually pleased about), so I think it depends on where they want to leave the character's relationships. But then again, I don't know if TakanashixInami and SoutaxYachiyo will remain entertaining for another entire season. We'll just have to wait and see. Still, even if it does end, the ride was worth it.


I'm pretty sure life is a tsundere...
