Was there any Tsuruko importance in this episode? I missed the episode.

Uho! Menmama is the last boss! An assassin from the shadows...!
And since "hanabi" (fireworks) has "flower" in it, maybe it is what the title is talking about?


Still, Yukiatsu and Tsuruko, huh... I don't know... Yukiatsu is a good guy, but I just can't imagine the two together. Rather, maybe I don't want to.
2nd and 4th, so Tsuruko is trying to be 3rd (or 1st) and be beside him? Maybe.
But still... (´・д・｀)ﾔﾀﾞ

Aside from the other stuff already mentioned, I smiled when Anjou started calling Yadomi "Jintan" in public again, and then blushing after the fact.

So this week's episode focuses on the group (mainly Jintan & Anaru) effort to fund the fireworks that was mentioned in Menma's diary.

Mostly a set up episode/calm before the storm type of deal.

Now pardon me as I set the sail of my Jintan x Anaru ship. It is a long voyage ahead and now would be the time to pick up good winds!

I enjoyed the episode, but it was frustrating that they jumped on the first wish they saw in the diary, rather than reading it through, as any sensible person would have done. Just made it too mechanical a set-up for the fireworks thing.

But I am thrilled to see the JintanxAnaru ship setting sail. Menma was good. Tsuruko was good (and Hayamin was excellent). Yukiatsu continues to be a walking pile of interesting contradictions (and Sakurai-san is excellent, of course). I was less impressed with Tomacchan this episode, but maybe Anaru doesn't have to have a smooth or pretty voice, just a conflicted one.

woooo the beginning was sweet! Nice timing Poppo.

Lots of sweet and HNGGGG moments between Jinta and Anaru.

I'm getting annoyed at Menma at some point >.> but near the end she still wins me. She didn't cry this time around but still a little bit of tears on her eyes.

Yukiatsu I think he is not studying and trying to find or research about fireworks unlike Tsuruko. I think his the kind of guy that helps in different way or not seen way.

The group is back but an unexpected denpa enemy shows up. Menma's mom

btw is denpa can be translated as crazy? It looks like the reason why she is only alone and the father and son are not around is because she goes haywire crazy. Poor thing.

Awwww man, all those JintanxAnaru moments....HNNNNG. xDD And lol @ Poppo: Beef Curry Retreat! xDD

Aye! ´Tis a good time to let the JintanxAnaru ship sail!

The Anaru x Jinta moment was awesome.

Poppo was hilarious XD

I wonder why Menma wanted to hide it from Jinta?

Also I wonder what Tsuruko meant by tired of being around Yukiatsu? Is she tired of being of an unrequited love, dealing with his attitude towards Jinta, or of the unecessary hate she get from Yukiatsu's crushes?

Btw I am glad Menma didn't end up crying again.

I knew some thing was weird about Menma's mother.

Anyways, another week to wait T.T

Wait... Did she just called her "Onee-Chan" ? :uhoh:

That ending was so unfair. I have to wait another WEEK?!?!?

she did and that creeps me more :uhoh: she said onee-chan, jinta-kun and others are doing their best for your sake.... then goes fuzaketerune :twitch: (not sure on how to spell the last words....)

Nice episode! However, Menma really needs to put her act togetehr and be more considerative. I mean, constantly popping up like this (when Jintan was talking to his father), doesn't she get that she is a huge distraction for him and puts him in akward situations?

I don't care how old her brain is but there should be some sence after all this time she is around...

Anyway nice Anaru/Jintan moments and I still keep liking Tsuruko's and Yukiatsu's interections. I think that without each other they would be less interesting...

And lol go Poppo! Make the ramen retreat :D

That could be a good hint of why Menma doesn't want her mother to remember her and keeps avoiding to talk about her life at home. And its possible connection of what happened to Jinta mother at the hospital.

Actually, in Japan, families do sometimes call each other by their roles, like she did.
And of course, Menma has a little brother and she is the big sister of the family.

Denpa characters can just be crazy, which to be honest, means they aren't "denpa" but just "insane", but I don't think "denpa" fits Menmama right now.

Hmm... a cliffhanger. But let's hold off on the wild speculations. Last week we had to read conjectures about the possibility that Menma was sexually abused by her dad and the nosebleed might indicate that Jintan has a brain tumor. We simly don't know what is Menma's mother thinking.

Of course. I didn't think about it like that. Makes sense now.

Damn, really excited for next week. Didn't like JintanXAnaru moments, but whatever. I watch this show for Tsuruko, Menma, Yukiatsu, and Jintan. Never thought anything out of the ordinary for Menma's mom, but guess we'll see next week!
