Another good episode. I think this is the first beach episode I've seen with basically 0 fanservice...amazing

Also, wtf was the sea slug scene

Although I like this anime a lot, I would appreciate if they showed more of him actually writing calligraphy; seems like every episode is him attempting to do something and then Naru and co. burst in to distract him. I know they show rooms full of his calligraphy, but these episodes kinda make it feel like he just came to this island and is constantly messing around instead of working

On a side note, I wonder how calligraphers get paid. Is it just random jobs like when he painted a store sign that we saw in some episode? Or do competition winners get paid?
Seems like a kinda odd job


he get paid for writing titles of incomming movies or novels or advertisments you see everyday, its like from chapter 4 in the beginning , the writing has to be beautiful, and with feeling, not half assed if u know what i mean.
the job vary 50.000 yen to 300.000 yen, if u can win the competition u can get more fame and more jobs and more money, its not odd job, its a traditional job and quite historical, this bussiness is very harsh, not much people can be sucessful.

sorry my english, my native language is spanish and maybe there some grammar errors, and i have some people in japan and china that involves this bussiness.

if u have more question i can answer you, but i dont know that much.

Another wonderfully hilarious episode.

My reaction toward the sea slug is the same as Naru lol

Poor Tama. She's going to lose it with the new guy coming in the island...

And Handa's blush *//v//*~!

I'm still in shock that there was no fan service for a beach episode. When I heard the girls were going to the beach, I expected them to turn up in bikinis. I'm very glad they made it more realistic and had them in regular gear. This show has been entertaining so far. The sea slug censoring seemed a bit weird though.

Barakamon is the best anime this season! This episode was cute and funny lol. Sensei is a tsundere.....and really cute one too. And Tama is slowly growing on me. Her yaoi-denial moments are hilarious.
I love moments with Hina and Naru. THEY'RE SO CUTE!

Probably my favorite episode so far.

The way they censored it is like the way they censor cockroaches in comedy. I've also seen centipedes censored that way. This isn't a pedo show.
The next episode should be interesting with those two showing up.

The sea slug was highly unnecessary and out of place. The censor confirms the sexual implications, making it a completely different issue than cockroaches and centipedes. Not that it was enough to detract from my enjoyment of this show.

I didn't see it as sexual at all....you're into some weird stuff man (just kidding). I took the censor as blurring out something gross or disturbing, I guess? Like how some animes would blur out vomit or poop.
I can't think on the top of my head which animes have blurred either of those but I'm pretty sure I have seen it a couple of times.

It was obvious innuendo when you consider the fact that they censored the defense mechanism and not the sea slug/cucumber itself. What is so gross and disturbing about white goo, other than what you would associate it with? Couple that with the context and dialogue.

It's funny how I watched this episode right after having dinner with Konomon during dinner. Can totally relate to his addiction. XD

Calligraphy lesson was so Spartan. I loved how Naru fell asleep at every opportunity.

Seriously, this was the best beach episode ever! Who needs skimpily clothed busty girls and women when you got wet tracksuits and life savers eh?

Loved the sea wharf scene. I'd love to try jumping from one of those myself. Handa showing he cares about the kids, so much that he fainted three times for them :P

Oh, and who invited Aomine Daiki and his funny sidekick to this anime?

As for the sea slug.... if you wanna see what it does uncensored, go watch JackAss ;)

Rather than a moral of the week, we get a feel good, summery episode. Nevertheless, still keeps up its quality like every other episode. Lovely.

Lots of laughs as usual. Fun stuff.

They did it to make it more gross and therefor funny. I just checked the manga and it's not censored but I seriously doubt they intended it to be the way you guys are looking at it.

It shouldn't be, but now is becoming.

Just watch/read the scene again, all the context of "becoming an adult", the sea cucumber being touched in a weird way by a little girl and expelling something white and censored on her (not exactly on her, but yeah) afterwards... and she even said "so this is how being an adult is like".

If this is not sexual innuendo in any context for you (being a defense mechanism or not), you gotta be pretty fucking dense, seriously.

People who say this isn't sexual innuendo are just yanking your chain. Don't reply to them - you're only giving them what they want and egging them on.

Even so I refuse to believe this is intended as lolicon fanservice. Were you never a little kid? Because I was, and I thought poop/pee/dicks/pussy/etc were hilarious.

Epic lol at anyone saying the sea slug thing is lolicon fanservice. It was just Miwa toying a bit with Naru, there wasn't anything remotely sexual about that. Sea slug innards censored for comedy was hilarious imo, I didn't seek anything behind it until you guys started rambling. You seriously need to watch less pedoshit dudes.

This show make me all fuzzy inside :3

Naru is so cute, when she was worried because sensei might have a girlfriend xD

Tama is so hilarious with her BL delusion :P
Poor her, sensei isn't helping her.

Sensei really have it hard in this episode, falling not one but three time on hard rocks :/
But then he get all the fuzz, what a lucky guy :)

Really love those show with a father/daughter relationship (with no incest, of course) or alike. That's what made Clannad : AS so special.

5/5

Episode suitable to relax and have a few laughs thanks to the narration fit for purpose.
The plot seems to have a great leap forward, both about the psyche of Handa and give a jolt to the main story.
Drawing a little rough, but the aminazioni were more than good.
OST fits the context.
Curious to see how the story will evolve, now! XD

One more point in voting for not showing the usual episode with the girls in bathing suits.

Handa and the delicious konomon lol

Poor Handa, he spent more time blacked out at the beach than having fun and taking care of the kids. I agree that it was kind of reckless for Naru, Miwa, and Hiro to be jumping down into the water, but nothing bad happened so it's all good.

Naru freaking out when Miwa/Tama opened that letter lol.

Like Hiro said, Handa is beginning to get attached to the people at the village.

Never would have guessed Naru has a crush on Sensei. This reminds me of Hanamaru Youchien except Naru is 7 years old instead of like Anzu, the 4-year old girl MC of the series who has a crush on her kindergarten teacher. Gainax made that series hella funny and kawaii without it being pedo or creepy in how it presents itself tho...

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

So much LOLs in this one.


-Is konomon that tasty? I want to try one someday.

-Tama being suddenly interested in the picture when Miwa said "it's a man" was downright funny!

-Handa slipping on the rocks didn't really hit the lol note for me. It seems potentially fatal if you ask me.

-Hiroshi Critical was not very effective on that octopus.

-So much misunderstanding between Tama & Handa.

-I was quite surprised that there are no fanservice during the beach scene. The first I've come across in an anime. I guess they really want to emphasize the comedy & heartwarming aspects. Still that sea slug bit was kinda lewd.

-Handa being like a worrywart parent was adorable. The whole bit with the group hug was adorable... and then "jiiii~~..." at Hiroshi lol

-Only in anime can you survive several blows to the head from slipping on rocks.

-Scruffy hair on a humid day's a bitch. Yeah, Handa & Miwa both have the same hairstyle lol.
