1.) I love Tsuruko's carpet...and that's not a euphemism. During the brief scene in her room, we see a bit of her decorations (or lack thereof), and I was struck by how cute her carpet is (I'm unsure what the flower designs are...lilies?...).
2.) To continue with the floral theme, I love Poppo's short-sleeve shirt with the four leaf clover design.
As for the episode, well it was lots of fun (as usual).
Ano Hana (and strangely enough,
Ao no Exorcist) have been the most consistent anime titles for me this season, with each episode delivering their prerequisite emotional drama tinged with tragedy and a healthy dollop of comedy to help ease the mood (dare I say tension) between the "friends" (friends still being in quotation marks until such a time as the characters can stand to look each other in the eyes
).
