10 episodes in and 0 laughs thus far. The Bashame-Anko scene was kinda nice though.

It bothered me that the localisers didn't translate 花粉症 as hay fever.

I felt as if the show finally found its stride with this episode. For the first time it made me think “huh I hope they make a s2” as I want to see more of these characters, particularly due to the bashame/anka story which is funny because up until then I was pretty ready to give this show a 6.5 - done & dusted but alas I want more.

@NekOniiChan Pre-CM eyecatch has one mistranslation. It should be Izu Islands, not Izu Peninsula.
@Yogicat That's good to know, but of course, do note that this is from a release group that usually rips subs from CR for simulcast purposes, so the fault is on CR. (as it usually is most of the time...)

Another episode trying too hard to be funny to the point of being annoying, I enjoyed the last bit with no Shikanoko on screen.

Holy shit the beginning part with Nokotan fighting pollen allergies is the most relatable thing this anime has done for me. As someone who suffers from pollen allergies and hay fever, spring is THE most brutal time of the year, like i actually feel like i'm fighting a losing battle everyday waking up with a blocked nose that seems to never fucking run out of running mucus, my eyes so blood shot and itchy i could tear them out, my face feeling constantly tingly and my head feeling so stuffed with cotton that i can't think clearly. It feels like eternal torment and suffering, and i honestly wouldn't wish it upon even my worse enemies.

Part 4 also being "allergy inspired rage with no outlet" was also highly relatable, just the pure unrivalled rage and anger of never being able to get rid of the horrible itching that i feel beneath my skin or eyes, the constant sneezing and blocked nose combined with the constantly blowing your nose everything 30 seconds and running out of tissues constantly is enough to make you go insane.

Anyways, I thought the ending was quite nice. I actually got a good a laugh when they showed Bashame making her rice paddy fields for 7 episodes. I'm happy that Bashame's rice field bit has finally come into full fruition.
It was also nice seeing some Bashame and Anko interactions, sometimes they really do feel like they sit on the side bench for the show, so finally seeing this duo get some screen time for their own comedy bits is fun.

For 7 episodes I waited on Bashame's rice field paddy promise, week after week I would look forward to it, and by god those legends actually delivered! I was popping off on my seat when she showed the rice fields!

This anime is perfect.

Good episode, another episode that fulfilled a little of what I expected... more sub-realism although in the end it relaxed
Thank God I'm not allergic to anything (at the moment that I know of haha) and I hope I never find my allergy.

PS: Shikanoko with the guitar reminded me of me during music classes at school haha

This is my favorite episode so far, it's so nice to see Bashame finally able to plant her rice which he has been preparing since episode 3. The moment Bashame, Anko, and Tsucchi ate onigiri together was so cute. I liked seeing another side of Anko and Bashame.

The only part of this episode that i liked was the Bashame and Anko segment. It's funny how this show gets decent when that brainrot Shikanoko isn't in the mix.
@Cestlavie_ Hahaha, wanted to write the same thing. This episode was like 90% pure brainrot and 10% decent shit.

"Are you hurt? Are you hungry?" Koshitan is def the mom friend, but tbf my first thought was also "oh she ran out of deer crackers." Also, "is this advice for a college student who started living alone" is too real. Learning nutritious flower arrangement or vitamin gummies?

What was the Kenshi Yonezu song referenced in the episode? All I'm getting is "Spinning Globe" but that seems too recent compared to when the manga chapter would've been released.
@ApocalypSnow It's a reference to Uma to Shika (Horse and Deer). It was released on September 11, 2019.
The title of the song (馬と鹿- "Uma to shika") stands for a word game by putting apart Two kanji of the word "baka" (馬鹿- "Stupid") with the particle "to" (と - and) to make the phrase horse and deer.

I really don't know why I keep watching this show, maybe because of the opening? But there are only two episodes left anyway.

Its true people with allergies hate admitting they have allergies. This was a crazy shitshow of an anime. Pretty good episode though! The flower arrangement scene made me laugh

This episode was the most boring of the bunch.

The first two sketches had good ideas, but the execution was dull. And the third one was just plain smh.

I can relate to being allergic and sneezing nonstop, but yeah I'm not even sure what was that flower arrangement segment. Also we know Japan a rice country, no need to give a know-how about planting the same, at school of all places.

Even Shikanoko can get a pollen allergy eh, well I'm glad I don't have this... at least yet. And Shikanoko doing the floral art her own way was something, I agree there's a part of genius in making these horrible flowers dance to the worst guitar play possible

Has anyone noticed that there's a track in this anime that's also used in Lucky Star or am I crazy?

If you looj past the kinda cringey marketing this anime can quite be a bit fun at times. Just a bit though.


BUT anyway, I came here to highlight the GUNDAM REFERENCE! at ~9:10 Nokotan gives a speech that's very obviously parodying the "Sieg Zeon" speech from the original Gundam series. Nokotan is playing the role of Gihren and Neko is playing the role of Kycillia.

In particular (spoilers for the original Gundam),



Nice reference, jumped to this thread and saw that no one had commented on it so there's my two cents

People with high fever never want to admit that they have hay fever? Lies.

Noko is so talented. She can even arrange flowers and make them self-conscious, so they can turn into carnivores. xD

Bashame, with Tsucchi's help, has finally built her own rice field and planted some rice on it. Too bad she forgot about getting approval from the school, lol. Not gonna lie, she has a lot of ambitious plans for the future.
