| This episode was hilarious especially when they where on the station and forgetting their teacher/sister with the last train. The part on the beach where they got worried about the kidnapping was also funny. |
mangamuscle said: Magito said: What if someone steal a vegetable? It's tempting to get one and not pay. You do realize if you said that to the locals they would think you are an E.T. and say "why?" if she wears that on the beach, some lolicon will kidnap her since she's easy to carry. lol Was I the only one that when Hotarun said "she is so light someone might take her" tought that SHE had already thought about it? Then when running to get the last train home she confirmed her suspicions (also, Hotarun is physically in darn good shape). So we should not surprised if someday she lets her instincts take over and sweep Komari in her arms and take her someplace to cuddle her cute senpai at her heart contempt :3 I mean, that doll is only a replacement for the real thing. We have similar vegie stands with honor boxes in Tasmania, Australia. People even pop in when traveling from the city to get vegies and pay if they are out on a Sunday drive. No one even thinks of pinching them! It's a great way for the local farmers to get a little bit of extra cash with some of the produce that didn't go to market that day. |

Wordsmith said: Speaking of Hotarun, first she got to "hold hands" with her beloved sempai and then in die end, she even got to carry her. Bet she was in heaven. Not only did she carry her .. it was even a princess carry!!!!! |

okanagan said: Note also that she is unusually tall and strong for her age. Made an annotation, no seriously, how many 5th graders you know that can haul 20 kgs (at least) from one side of a pedestrian bridge to the other without breaking a sweat? She even said "senpai is light"! In the anime, there is a locked wooden box with a small slot for coins to be inserted. In the manga, it is simply a cup! Before people start saying thinking that the anime producers think "no way people won't take the money and run" remember Renge's pet; tanukis have paws that can grab coins just because they grab their fancy, crows have no paws but have been known to drag shiny objects to their nests. I would not be surprised that tanuki are crafty enough to steal a coin, go to the vending machine, push the button, haul the can and drink the sweet nectar hiding under the bushes. What if you only have a 500 yen coin, for example? Or what if you want a refund? Everything was 100 yen a piece, if the buyer forgot to bring 100 yen coins is mostly his own fault. I think that the director Shinya Kawamo ( 川面真也 ) is doing an outstanding job. Hear! Hear! |

She even said "senpai is light"! I checked, and it turns out that, in reality, Hotarun can carry Koma-chan! Look at the table on page 12 here: http://r4d.dfid.gov.uk/PDF/Outputs/R75758BM9148.pdf Next, look at this graph: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41c022.pdf Hotarun is big for her age. Koma-chan is small for her age. Also, this is a carry over only a short distance. So what happened was totally realistic. - - - - - - - The director is Shinya Kawamo. ( 川面真也 ) Here are some lists in Japanese of the things that he has worked on during his career: http://www.allcinema.net/prog/show_p.php?num_p=765864 http://www19.atwiki.jp/enshutsu/pages/367.html http://www7.atwiki.jp/anime_wiki/pages/597.html Non Non Biyori is only the second TV anime series that he has directed. His first TV anime series was Kokoro Connect. In addition, he did three OVA episodes of Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Futari no Elder. |

| Meh I've never really appreciated the obligatory "beach episodes" in anime, since it's full of unnecessary fan service. Shame on the anime for giving a 5th grader bust smh. Anyway, since this episode came after my favorite Renge episode, I felt it was very average and predictable. Koma facing predictable problems being noticeably short and physically immature. Whatever, I still love the series anyway... |
eldest said: tingy said: My little brother is 7 and I cannot imagine him to be that desperate to be looking for someone inside a vending machine. Honestly by age 11, people should have developed enough common sense that this shouldn't happen... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayedForLaughs Yeah I know that it had comedic intention, but I guess I didn't find it funny. Anyways I was more responding to Kdanni who reasoned that it can happen because she's only 11 :) |
Magito said: What if someone steal a vegetable? It's tempting to get one and not pay. Then you would be that one asshole who ruined it for everybody. By the way, these things do exist in real life, I've purchased firewood this way. okanagan said: What if you only have a 500 yen coin, for example? Most other places that I've been to, unlike Canada and the US, make minimal use of credit cards and mostly use cash for... nearly everything. To make life easy for themselves, they usually do 2 things: 1. Tax is included in the labeled price. 2. everything is rounded to the dollar, no $xx.99 crap. usually, you pay for things in even, whole dollar amounts, so it's generally much easier to make exact change. |
| I have to say I lol so hard at Komarichan mistaken as a lost child and her angry expression. I watched it again and I laugh hard even more. trolling lost-chan can be so much fun. |
Madcat6204 said: Wordsmith said: Silly Koma-chan... don't you know that Sukumizu is GOD TIER? Not when you're in 8th grade and the swimsuit is for 5th grade it's not. I'm sorry, but as a learned lolicon I can assure you that even girls in the 8th grade look fantastic in grade school outfits, including sukumizu. |
| I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl |
| Poor brother XD, aww Komari <33 That's one fine 5th grader (＾་།＾) REN-CHON!!!!（*´▽｀*） |
| I somehow felt sorry for Komari this time, hehe :) But Hotarun sure has nice.. ehm, body :D Funny episode, I laughed hard when Ren-chan's sister was left at the station and when Suguru suddenly appeared. |
| She's not a fifth-grader, she's not a fifth-grader, she's not... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
Marow said: She's not a fifth-grader, she's not a fifth-grader, she's not... Hotaru? Or Komari? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Am I a loli con for liking Hotaru? I know she's fifth grader in this story But, god! She's a babe! haha |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Had some good laughs here Poor Komari chan the Chibi jokes hit her hard |
| There is an astounding similarity between Hotaru and the tall girl Yūko in "A-Channel" (2011). Compare for yourself: Hotaru, age 10, in a two-piece blue swimsuit at the beach: http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/zakuzaku911/imgs/e/e/ee924cb2.jpg Yūko Nishi, age 17, A-Channel, also wearing a two-piece blue swimsuit: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/24100000/-tooru-yuuko-a-channel-24146728-1920-1200.jpg Toaki90 asked: Am I a lolicon for liking Hotaru? I know she's a fifth grader in this story But, god! She's a babe! Yes, you are. However, it would be okay to like the 17-year-old Yūko in A-Channel! Both of them are babes. |

There's certainly a similarity there. Appearance-wise, at any rate. Personality-wise, not so much. |

By the time Hotarun reaches Yuuko's age she will no doubt have dangerous curves everywhere you loot at :3 |
KhanhCPham said: this anime manage to turn a vending machine moe. LOL you are right Best episode so far 5/5 i had lots of laugh in this episode koma-chan is very very cute in this episode... let me rephrase it,,, in this episode KOMA-CHAN IS CUTER THAN RENGE-CHAN..... :)) hehehe and i had the biggest laugh when the teacher said " i came to the beach with you guys as a friend so i will not take responsibillity" |
| Really nice episode again, these 20 minutes go by so fast! |
 |
| Who could guess Hotaru was so big- I mean tall- I mean... Wait, we already knew that from beginning that she is... Haha, loved the sister scenes and how Renge-chan ended up correcting Natsumi for once unintentionally, good for Komari Great episode, once again |
 |
| 5/5 Episode of different mold, certainly not bored with the usual topics "beach"! XD Narrative because like all the characters, their own light, as well nii-san in his small. Although Nee nee, put it there to give further hilarity episode and we can also, at least with me it has succeeded! : D Nice design, animation, not so much, although in a series like this could also be fine, since it is not a shonen, but a little less woody were preferable! Ah, Silver Link does not push your luck! ^ ^ " Given the progress achieved in the plot would invite the authors not to mention the other characters, to give more space to the tiny ... so ...! Moar Renge and Komari! ^ _ ^ |

| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. 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. |
| pretty hot. why can't real life have someone like Koma-Chan? LIFE SUCKS YO |

Ajunky said: Ren-chon face was great when looking at the bug, it sent Natsume into a heavy guilt trip. XD "Don't thank me, it makes my heart hurt" XD And lol, Komari fits perfectly on a 5th grader's swimsuit. That's how Hotaru should look like, going by her age. XD That was hella funny; Poor Komari and Hotaru is not a fucking fifth grader, she must have been held back or started hella fucking late. |

| Possibly you should! It could depend on what country you live in. For example, in Australia, "for instance, magazine photographs of women with A breast cup sizes have been censored in recent years, reportedly leading to an increase in the average breast size of women in Australian magazines." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_pornography_laws_in_Australia In the story, Koma-chan is in the second year of middle school. That makes her about thirteen years old. So in principle it should be no big deal to show her in a swimsuit. But if she is so short that she looks like she is ten years old then it could be a different story. Likewise, to show her wearing an elementary school style swimsuit could be a problem. |
| Of course, on a purely age-based method, it should be the other way around. Hotaru is allegedly the younger one, after all. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| As it turns out, you are raising a very important point. Under a relatively new Japanese law, which took effect in 2011, there is a specific restriction that applies to characters in anime and manga who are under age 13. (i.e. age 12 and under) Here is a quote from Wikipedia: The Metropolitan government is authorised to "encourage the establishment of an environment where child pornography could be eliminated and prevent its creation." The bill specifically mentions "any sexually arousing posing on the behalf of children under the age of 13 wholly or partially naked, or wearing swimwear or only underwear, published in books or featured in film," although as with its other provisions this only applies to drawings and animation, not to photography or film of real children. See here for details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Ordinance_Regarding_the_Healthy_Development_of_Youths In Non Non Biyori, it is made very clear that Koma-chan is in the second year of middle school, which makes her 13 years old. Therefore, she is definitely above the age cutoff of 12. But Hotaru is in grade 6 so she is only 11 years old. Therefore, she is definitely below the age cutoff of 12. So there would be different restrictions on what can be shown for each of the two characters. Additional details are here: |

| What's up with all your conversations? If this is hardcore fan service then I'll go jump off a cliff. This stuff is way too enjoyable, I want moar. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| . . . I'll go jump off a cliff. Please don't! But jumping off a bridge into a river looks like it could be a lot of fun as a way of cooling off in the summer. |
| So long as the river is deep enough. Otherwise it could be very painful instead. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| LOL... Renge is the best! Such epic way of speaking and knowledge beyond her age... the line "Dou desu ka? Uchi no dansu wa..." at the beginning just killed me laughing... =) |
  |
| This is the best episode for me.. :D LoL |
| Really funny episode :) 5/5 |
 |
| I just noticed that this show has a PG 13 rating... so far, I cannot figure out why |
| This show just gets funnier and funnier. As a guy, I don't like to be short. Are girls really bothered by their height as much as guys do? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Oh, if only it's not in Japan's countries (or villages).. They opened unmanned stand for vegetables I'll grab it and run as fast I can.. JK xD Well, that's the main reason... Lol @ Hotarun... I really doubt she's a fifth grader As usual no one noticed/cared about Suguru But everyone forgot about Kazu-sensei... Well, she's a sleepy person afterall xD FrostbyteDOT said: I just noticed that this show has a PG 13 rating... so far, I cannot figure out why Sorry, your point? You mean it should be for all ages? Maybe, they (under 13) won't understand the jokes or the other things? |
