THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
They're looking for a thema for the school festival but overshadowed by the remarriage of Shiina-mom, which would cause the siblings to leave :( - thankfully it was delayed.
Chizuru and sensei understand each other too well haha

I hope they won't dive too much into seriousness, even though the compatibility to parodies is the same :3

Finally things are back in this episode to being funny and I must say I am happy and laughed quite a few times but there was a drama part. Let me see funny was the part of Ken being bruned down by Minatsu and he came back from the ashes he was. The glass Boy Love from Mafuyu's imagination became suddenly evil. Sudden marriage proposal of Ken to Mafuyu the best was Minatsu grabbing her to get away. I absolutely liked Ken during that bike path here:
Ken was really serious before he was thinking about this so I liked it. Minatsu lunch box little pigs as food was funny but more cute. Did I hear right or was there a Metal Gear reference as I started to play this game? Overall better than last episode.

So that was what the whole thing about was but did also talk about school changing? Also if it was the remarriage thing then why was this
shown when they were younger?

The serious stuff was nice HoaRy but I agree that too much ruins other things the anime is good. Also is it me or ED changes again present and do you know what they are?

It's called a flashback. it is used to illustrate the difficult relationship with her mother, just like the bento with little boars is used as a symbol...
Remarriage is combined with moving to another place. => school transfer

Proselyt you are great to help me understand on top of that you know French! :D Does remarriage always involve school transfers or not?

Now that's just commonsense, isn't it? The bride always moves in with the husband (at least in Japan) and god knows where he lives (hokkaido?). I did not catch where Shiinas were going to move, but anyways you can't go to the same school anymore cause it's too far. Incidentally it's the number 1 reason for children in anime to move/change school.

Sometimes I wish the husband would move with the wife to consider the kids she has. Good thing the whole thing was delayed.

Minatsu and Mafuyu's father left when they were very small, in your screenshots' scene Minatsu told her mother she allows her to meet her new boyfriend and even marry him if that won't affect them. After that they showed how hard the mother is working for her children (->bento), even when she has only little time. And that's why Minatsu don't want to be split from her mother this time, she would regret if they did.

ED is constantly changing. On the WebRadio they announced the ED single containing ALL 12 endings for 25.11.

Ah so that was what happened. Curse the father, he had such nice kids and left the mother. Mafuyuu and Minatsu are so cute, I suppose the father had blond hair because of Mafuyuu? Personally I hate remarriage, it did not happen in my family and that is a good thing. From what I heard of other families around my area it did not go so good at all with that.

To be honest, I wanted them to move.

Ken is one step closer to finishing the harem, but he Skipped the strategy he made in the beginning, with taking her in the 3rd place.

Well this was another solid episode. The humour was better than last week and didn't have overkill attacks against Sugisaki. I mean blasting him to ash is perfectly acceptable :). Good times with them setting up their power ranger identities. Poor Mafuyu and Chizuru were tossed into their colours without any discussion. At least Sugisaki made an effort with trying to get his proposal through.

Again managed to mix in some serious into the episode. The transferring situation along with Mafuyu and Minatsu's home life. Can understand Minatsu had a real dilemma being torn between wanting to stay with the student council and yet not wanting to seperate from her mother and lose a chance to repair things between them. Delaying it is fine for now though it doesn't change the eventual separation.

I'm liking things with Ken and Minatsu. He goes on quite a bit about a harem but I don't think he really needs that. Trying to compensate for the pain that was created through the two-timing incident. Can see in the flashback that he was a bit lost and wanted to be like Minatsu who has a strong personality. Seems he took that advice to heart and decided to aim higher and get a harem :).

I have no doubt he would have gone every week. He'll accept that Minatsu feels she has to go but won't just say goodbye. Was nice on her side with denying it had anything to do with love and yet not letting go of that schedule he had made.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. If he was willing to visit every week for club activities then he'll still visit after they have moved. Of course be nice if things got a bit more serious between Ken and Minatsu before that happened. Like how he gave her the schedule almost saying "yeah I spent yesterday after the club figuring out a schedule, so what?" Anyways at least the sisters can have fun during the rest of the year with everyone.

When in doubt leave it to Echo of Death Nii-san :).

Hmm, not sure what to feel about this week's episode... at least they didn't have this as the final episode, because that would be one of those sudden drama that comedies tend to go for towards the end, which would be awful. On the other hand, its not that bad when its included halfway. The comedy is still good so its fine. I'm leaning more towards Ken x Minatsu every week XD.

Seriousness doesn't really work for this series, the drama part was boring. The series should stick to comedy only.

Now, that was a good episode. I liked it, not because there was drama or oh-my-gosh-plot, but the comedy was much funnier than last week's. Seems odd to me though that Minatsu has been the focus of attention for 2 episodes already, while I've always thought Aka-chan is supposed to be the lead girl?

Really liked this episode plenty of references and laugh out loud moments.
Like when Minatsu disintegrated Ken and said they now could continue since the largest problem had been turned to ash =P
He got some amazing regeneration abilities though =O

Looks like the two of them could end up as a couple too.
Though I'm still hoping that Ken gets his harem ending, he should definitely include that hot milf teacher in it as well (^_^)

Yes, those are the actual subs. Gotta love Ken's imagination.

And it would be more awesome if he gets them all in the end.

Frankly, I found this episode a bit of a let-down, as well as very predictable. I knew right away that Minatsu planned on leaving the council, but would change her mind (or at least postpone till after graduation).

The humor is still good though, so it's not a total waste of time.

After seeing the subs, I finally have this thing right about Ef...it's about chihiro and the memory problem in short but it was weak because it was described with words only the scene made no sense. Got to admit Chizuru's pain/torture was something in this episode with the description. Ken was once again brilliant with his ways to convince the mom of Shiina sisters. One thing, if they are to go to mainland then where is this school they go to? The country farmlands of Japan? Also more Dragon Warrior with herbs/potions from Mafuyu and what is that Echo of the death thing? It was yet again another laugh. Still think the bike path thing was great but now the meaning got me curious as to what Ken meant by being the same as Minatsu?
