Naru and friends save the day! Yakuza dad sure was a scary dude xD

That scene for the phone was so funny : ''You thought you had a super power in your left arm when you were 10, right?''
Also, Hina always crying is still so hilarious :P swoop

Weirdly, I'm not surprised that our sensei have a soft spot for cat. Such a tsundere... xD

I really love how this anime adaption really captures the heartwarming feel and that country-like atmosphere. I grew up in a village in the country side so seeing this anime really hit it hard in the feel <3 It's really rare to see a genuine slice of life series like this with well balanced comedy~

Really great episode yet again...lol at handa for having such bad luck at the start.
Naru and Hina laughing at him while he was trying to use the phone was pure hilarious. And yet again the kids of the village manage to bring out the best in Handa and lol at the end when Miwa's father found out the boards which he used for practise.

Happens, Handa, happens. He likes cat lol. That old man's voice tho

Poor Handa, allergic to cats xD

Hina talked, damn it! Loved her voice and how she and Naru made fun of sensei hahah. Hina crying was so adorable, lol I wanna bully her.

Happens, Hina, happens.

"Don't push it." xD

What a crazy episode, I have never seen anything like this. Finally got to hear my ED song too...

Anyone else getting Yaoi vibes from Seishuu and Kousuke?

How about you go to the right section for a lolicon harem. If we're talking about a cat harem, I'm more inclined to agree.

Such a good show. It's very inspiring to watch this, because I'm also stuck in the "oh god what am I gonna do with my life" stage.

I actually had to hold my breath as he tried to make the first stroke of the brush. The fear of starting anew when faced with a blank paper (or any other material) can be paralising. It feels like no matter what you will attempt to do, it won't be good enough. I think this fear actually transcends the notion of material things and can manifest itself whenever a person deals with new beginnings in his or her life, like starting an academic career, for example. So I, like many people, could relate to him at that moment.

This.

Fear of the white canvas, the sign of a true artist. Naru <3

Though walls will fall, to tooth and claw

Though stars will fade, and shadow spread

6.5/10 for this episode.

Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

4/5

Episode Transition (?), But not stingy with points thoughtful, inquisitive soul of the protagonist, manages to be cute in the narrative.
The design in spite of the plot, it becomes a little rougher though.
Dialogues nice, normal animations, characters that grow in their characterization.
Curious to see the next episode.

Is it just me or what he wrote on that boat only make it look worse?

Very good episode, really loved it when the gum dropped in nina's head :)
What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli

As an artist that suffers from anxiety, I relate to him sooo much. Sometimes I'm insanely scared of working on a piece because I don't want to mess it up. Through experiencing a lot of mistakes though, I've come to realize that they were just happy accidents. I remembered this because of the scene with the kids' hand prints :')

of god this show is terrible

pointless scenes that add nothing to the show, introducing characters that have never been mentioned to solve the "problem of the week", forced relationships and dialogue, bad pacing

3/10 and that's being generous


Better introduce every character in the first episode, amirite?

Since I'm an old fart who remembers the days of black rotary phones, watching sensei trying to figure that old clunker out was hilarious!
