Or they could teach them to sing something better (^.^)

I think you missed my point - kids that age will latch onto what they like and squeeze it dry.

Meh episode- Raika carried this ep imo.

Next episode looks more serious which should be good.

Drunk VA person was probably the best comedy moment in the episode, but most of it has turned into slice of life drama, which isn't too bad.

I think there will be alot more of Raika in the show as it progresses, shame it's only 12 eps and not 26.

This show would be worth nothing without Raika. "SORA! If you feel like crying, do so in my arms!" That was simply brilliant.

Wait. WE ARE NOT GONNA GET A HINA CENTERED EPISODE NEXT? *RAGE*

That aside, good episode, raika appearing was a bonus and i liked how they depicted sora's problem properly. And once again hina is still as cute as ever, it seems like shits gonna get serious the next episode. Cant wait. i feel like 12 episodes is abit to little for this anime :(

This is my most favorite episode simply because I like a lot Sora. Mainly due to her voice but her character too. Being over delicate but strong and full of positive radiance as it was shown to have effect on Atarashi. I guess I will go full out on my thoughts of Sora.

About Atarashi, at first I was wondering what is up with Atarashi here? Then when I see that it looks to be her last script as a Seiyuu of the Luna series, is when I understood she is worried over finding other work. When people say of Atarashi being sexy I can understand them from the spoiler
Part of when she was drunk.
Breast bouncing was another factor too. I guess Atarashi’s hand waving. I knew there was something worse up when Atarashi’s name did not appear on her door here. I still wondered even more why she appeared with a smile towards Sora. Until I find out of her circumstances with going back to the rural area with her parents. Indeed poker face there was obvious and yes Sora was naive there. Suffice to say that the end in the following,

Is the second most moving for me. For it showed Sora’s radiance on people in them thinking over things and decide not to give up on them due to their passion. In other words Sora flames in what was extinguished in people. A powerful encouraging character of Sora. It was bliss end of Sora/Atarashi as she found a job despite being not stable, at least it will be enough to stay near Hina and help out the family.

About Sora/her family, most bliss oriented Sora a fan of her can get. This one is one of them. This might be long so don’t mind me. Well at first I loved seeing Sora’s club President here conducting the choral. It nice was to see her. Sora’s blushed face in the choral here was nice. I love her faces. It was nice to see the president smiling here. She does have a nice smile. Nice to see other classmates of Sora in the spoiler
since it gave out other character designs in the school uniform of Sora’s school. Nice to see Sora speaking to the president and of her blush during that time. Sora was very polite to bow to the daycare taker here and I loved her apology pose in the spoiler
while it was fun to see Miu doing the multiplication tables was nice to see considering that it lead to some nice Hina faces and of Miu teaching Hina numbers. Ah yes! I remember those table back in grade school. Poor Sora in the spoiler
Being over worried of her grades. I can already see that it’s due to not enough rest and too much stress.

Miu’s face here showed worry all over. I still liked Sora’s blushed face here and of her surprised face here. Mostly towards Miu finding about Sora’s problem. The whole Secret seance in the spoiler
was totally MOE of not only Sora but Miu/Hina combo. Not to mention the sudden showing ups of the characters made it more engaging.
Loved seeing Miu with Hina here as they brush off the whole Secret thing off Yuuta’s mind. It will give him more stress and that is not good. I did like that he appreciated Sora’s lunch but she seems not to give out too much of a expression of it being so. It was still nice to see Sora’s blushed face after. Everyone sleeping here except for Sora was a nice view to see. I liked the fact that Sora gave out some good thinking over her Choir club quitting in the spoiler
she stayed awake to think about it, read the music sheets and had a nice blush with it. It was very hard to see that Sora indeed was quitting the club with her resignation here but her blushed face here and that of the club’s president were both MOE. Sora’s blushed face from another angle here was nice again. Sora’s blushed face up close here and from afar during cooking here were amazingly better than previous ones. Those were really nice. I liked this angle of Sora. It does make her look strange a little but I liked the effect it makes. Sora should watch out for oil burns. They leave nasty marks. Still my most favorite of her faces is in the spoiler
THAT LICKING!
That was nice. Sora’s up close blushed face here was nice again. I loved it when she showed her blushed face here in response to Yuuta’s mention of the oil mark not leaving a mark cause Sora is not married yet. ROFL! Sadly the food got burned in the spoiler
Because neither Yuuta nor Sora were smart enough to move the food away from the hot plate.

Yuuta along with Sora/Miu was funny here with his remark of Atarashi losing her job. Hina on the other hand was so MOE with her sad face here and that Elf girl fro, the anime is not bad here. Sora’s blushed face here looks nice as she thinks seriously. Liked seeing Sora from afar looking at the club. It was pretty obvious that Sora attempting to sing here and not even trying to sing with Hina here made her even raise questions here as to why. From the looks of Sora’s face here it was too obvious she did not want to say of her quitting the Choir club nor that she does not want to think of her singing due to it paining her and reminding her that she quit the Choir club. I still think that the scenery in the spoiler
of Hina/Sora and the sunset is the most amazing! It’s really high up in the scenes. Loved seeing Sora’s blushed face but most of all the magazines she was reading at that time in the spoiler
they look really nice. The girls in them too. Loved seeing Sora’s face blushed out when she sighted at the supermarket along with her face when she answered her cell phone and her face that is still blushed after it in the supermarket. Those are some very very yummy treats here and of course so was Sora’s blushed face here.

Sora’s blushed face here while reading a magazine was nice but it was too bad during that time the clerk shooed her away. However Sora was cute during the dog seeing here. Her hands at that part are really nice looking. Sora being on the swings, her face being surprised by Raika and Raika looking at her in the spoiler
were all total wins for me. Raika is totally hilarious with Sora. I loved both faces of Sora being blushed here as well as here. My favorites being of that segment are Sora’s smiling/blushed face and Raika’s pose with a blushed face in the spoiler
both were very nice.
Hina eating was quite MOE as usual. In thee end it was quite nice that Sora got along with Raika here and Sora’s blushed face towards her here was nice. While Yuuta looked nice here with his face and of course a very nice part of Miu winking with Hina here. Yuuta walking with Sora at night and Sora’s facial expressions in the spoiler
being blushed were win. Everyone sleeping was nice. The best and first nostalgic moment comes in the following,

That hug! That resolve of the president not giving in the resignation but most of all was Sora’s teary eyes in the spoiler
suffice to say Tears of Manhood of Joy were shed. Damn right it was emotional! Damn right was heartwarming and I loved it.

Suffice to say that is a true fan of Sora post. I would not waste my time if I did not like her that much.

About the preview, looks like something is up with Sora and as well with Yuuta patting her head? WTF is going on? Even more WTF is Sora doing here and OMG WTF are her eyes here like that? Is someone going to jump here being where she is lost? I hope nothing bad happens to her cause I smell Parks and Pedos as a possibility.

BTW End Art of Miu in the spoiler
indeed has the same art as of Mashiro Iro however the panties along with the tight ass do emanate some lustful thoughts.

Intermissions in the spoiler
are of Raika in a sexy pose and of her playing video games with Yuuta.

Yes that's true, but from what I watched it seems that she finally starts to realize that she doesn't have to carry all of the burden. I think she's finally starting to break out of her tsundere shell and growing up a bit.

That is indeed another aspect that is interesting. Sora realizing that should first and foremost reduce the stress on her. As such she may be able to get better grades. Once that DOMINOES into better attitude into others things that Sora likes but could not do due to stressed out life partially due to her low grades, that is when she will return to the club and sing IMO.

OK, some of you guys really make me think...

Why the hell would you people watch a Light hearted, slice of life, with a thin plot anime and then complain that "it's boring".

Really?

This is how it is, it's not supposed to be fast paced, it's slow moving with emphasis on intricate details and characters.

If you want action or a deep plot go watch something else, because you won't find it here.

What I find more puzzling is the fact that some of you waited until episode 10 to finally get under your skin.

PapaKiki has been this way since episode 1, it hasn't changed, sure at the beginning we had more plot because it needed to establish the story, but afterwards it moved into a character driven story that has a slow pace.

You're missing the point, even though you actually covered it in your last sentence.

In my comments, I wasn't asking for a fast-paced, action-oriented show with a deep plot. I know that this isn't that show. And I'm fine with that. That's why I started watching it. (Incidentally, why when criticizing the critics, is it always framed as 'This isn't that type of show!'. The critics said the show was boring, not that it needed an alien-robot war.) My problem isn't with the things that you point out. It's with lazy story-telling that is almost entirely dependent upon a handful of over the top, feel-good moments painted over a field of dross each episode. And for what it's worth, I can't say the show is doing a particularly good job on the character side either.

But while I enjoyed probably three of the first four episodes, I can't say that about more than one of the last four. Then we get a cookie-cutter episode, identical to the previous one, only using a different character. That's the reason I'm moaning now as opposed to earlier.

I feel like I was just served an over-cooked, dried out piece of tasteless, rubbery chicken and I'm being told that if I wanted a steak, I should have ordered a steak. I wanted chicken but I wanted good chicken. This ain't good chicken.

BTW, the show's creators put in a gentle plot in the beginning, and it helped the show immensely. The most recent episode I liked (ep.08), also had a semblance of a plot, albeit a simple one, set up in the previous episode. And the first few episodes weren't lacking in excessive cuteness. These things aren't mutually exclusive.

For the love of...

It's freaking fine to cause trouble! Family is there to support you! If you want to keep singing, go ahead and sing!!! Yuuta did not take you guys in so you guys would suffer, if he have to, he'd do everything for you guys! That's what family is like! Imagine how troubled Yuuta will feel if he knows you guys are making sacrifices for him.

It's true that it's nice to be considerate, but over consideration will lead to the other party thinking they failed.

Hm... :-) Watching this episode after opening up to Sora a little, I realized I was a lot like her in some ways. Maybe that's why I got worked up about her in the first place. It's truly your own weaknesses you hate to see most... Now that I can relate to her to some extent, this show feels a lot better.

And even apart from the deep stuff, it was a nice episode. Hina was super-cute as always and Raika still sounds like she's from an entirely different planet - why must the people I know in real life be so normal? :-P

Another great episode, Sora really takes on too much burden for everyone, nice to see her realize that a family is there to support and help. Raika is too good at comforting people and helping out haha. Such a great mentor for the girls especially Sora even tho they are rivals or well Sora thinks so. :p

Sora-centric episode. Not as focused on her as it was with Miu last episode, though. That was a pretty big sacrifice on Sora's part to let go of her passion by quitting her club, for practical reasons. All's well by the end, following Raika's timely, and amusing advice. Good thing there wasn't anymore of Sora's embarrassing ecchi routines with Yuuta this time around. It got old quickly.

Sora also managed to help Kurumi in the process, and also helped herself by realizing that what she believed was the opposite of what she had done. I liked the part when she was hugged by the club president, it was a nice scene. The appearance of both Raika and Kurumi here was also more than welcome.

Sora is a bit to pessimistic at times worrying about every little thing she should be a bit more positive but i guess that just who she is.
It wasn't a bad episode actually better then expected and it was pretty encouraging in a way.
No mater how bad things get always stay positive things will get better in the end.
If you start looking negatively you get in a downward spiral and things will only get worse.

Oh god this episode was boring. The serie as a whole is starting to turn very blank, I hope that we'll get a good 2 episode finale.


go watch something else this what the show has been like the whole time.


No. It's gotten worse. While the style hasn't really changed since the beginning, the quality has dropped. Maybe two of the past six episodes have been enjoyable. The first four or so episodes and maybe a couple more after, all had about 15 minutes of interesting fun, and 5-7 minutes of plodding saccharine. But lately the ratio has flipped and each episode has just a few minutes that are fun to watch.

I wonder if we will get a depressed Hina episode next week.


You make it sound like the current mix of sad and sweet content is inappropriate. How would you make it better? This isn't supposed to by Aria, or even Usagi Drop. Was that what you were expecting?

I came expecting loli-tits and got heartwarming family bonding and minimal tits. I am perfectly okay with this?

(On that note, saccharine seems like a buzzword that Slice-of-Life/Iyashikei detractors seem to employ a lot, seeming to believe that it's some sort of flaw in the show. If you don't want to watch an show with an overly idealized setting, then honestly go watch Les maîtres fous by Jean Rouche, or any performance under the category of Theatre of Cruelty. I'm sure that's what you are looking for.)

Really great developments. It seems like they'll do the reasonable choice in the end (i.e letting the girls live with adults and Yuuta live his student life as he should). Papakiki is turning out to be MUCH better than what I anticipated, especially given the number of times it could have gone awry with such a difficult subject. Hope the last ep is as good as this one.
