Well interesting times with Nazuna getting into things for an episode. Though the serious misunderstanding could make for some fun times. Have to say quite the Souma like attitude with planning on manipulating Inami if she is going to be part of Souta's life .

A complicated situation for Inami to be in. Having that phobia is letting her spend more time with Takanashi and really if she gets over it there would be a link between them lost. Of course if she doesn't get over it then a serious relationship would be pretty tough. Really it's fine since there is time to build up a stronger bond while trying to get past that phobia.

The store took quite a bit of damage this time around . Though the reasons are sad the power that Inami has is always pretty impressive.

You mean because Poplar wants to become a tall girl, she looks up to Kotori and finds her cute? But then, there is Kyouko (the embodiment of the Takanashi-Oneechan's in one character). I'm sure Popura wants to be tall and all, and Kyouko is tall for a girl as well and might have the same proportions as Kotori or maybe more, so she could have aimed to be like Kyouko too. Also, she only started to find Kotori cute when Kotori said "irasshaimase" in episode 9, so height and build might not really be the reason why she's so into Kotori. She also wouldn't go as far as getting lots secret pictures from Souma if she just wants to be like Kotori. Then again, I might be looking into it too much...

Aaahaa~ Not enough Nazuna in this episode. What little we saw of her was very good though, I just wish we saw her interact with the others more, especially Poplar.

I enjoyed the part with Yachiyo and Satou a lot. I can't help but feel sorry for Satou once again... I doubt he'll ever manage to get out of the friendzone. Yamada cosplaying as Kyouko was amusing.

Pretty much. I love her, but I think they're starting to focus on her a bit too much. Amazingly, she's nowhere to be seen in the preview, it can't be... an episode without Mahiru!? No, probably not. I guess the "Welcome to the Takanashi family" refers to her. This should be entertaining.

You're looking too much into this Popura just finds 'Kotori' cute. Probably the same way how Souta finds small things cute.

[Bonta Kun]

An overall amusing ep but not as funny as previous ones altho like many others I did enjoy the JunxYachiyo thing, that part was very amusing.

Def needed more Nazuna, she's an adorablely sweet lass, wonder if she would be ok with the crossdressing tho?

next ep moar Takanashi famliy! YAY!

[Myssa Rei]

I do wonder about the 'Welcome to the Takanashi Family'. I'm guessing we'll get an episode that's divided into two parts theme-wise, with Yachiyo and Jun taking one half, and the Takanashi sisters taking the other.

Who will the latter be welcoming though? If it is indeed Inami (have not read the recent volumes of the 4koma), will it build upon the misunderstandings Nazuna had this episode?

Speaking of whom, it does seem like she has her own manipulative streak, though it's channeled towards helping her brother. I'm happy that there was no trace of possible yandere CD-type leanings, but she's sure devoted isn't she?

[Qikz]

Inami gets cuter every episode I swear. <3

By the way, is Yamada voiced by the same person who did Fu-chan in Clannad or do they just have similar voices? It might even be me going insane but I'm sure she sounds like Fuko.

[Forsaken_Infinity]

Ok. This was the weakest episode in the series. They overdid InamixSouta -_-, trying too hard imho. Just let it be a bit more normal :/
And wish they would keep the show as an ensemble cast, its better that way. Focusing on one or two characters really kills the beauty of this show. No matter how awesome the characters being focused on are.

[Kotohono]

Great episode plenty of humor from Nazuna, Yamada, and Poplar this episode, I really enjoyed it. Though I wonder if Nazuna's huge misunderstanding here is going to come in the next few episodes.

Consider she's seen videos of him doing it before, and maybe remembers him crossdressing at a younger age, I doubt she'd have much a problem with it .

Similar voices though it's impressive to see, since it's actually Hirohashi Ryou[aka Kyou of Clannad] for the VA since it's so different from other roles I've seen her in. Though I agree she does sound like Fuko, and even act a little bit like Fuko at times, especially the Yamada is a Customer now, and the Yamada of the Future will be able to scenes. xD.

I got to say, Inami is really killing this series. Her tsundere annoyingness has been toned down greatly but for a 13 episode series she gets wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much focus. This series needs a lot less Inami and more Nazuna/Yamada/Poplar/pretty much anyone else.

[Myssa Rei]

Inami, tsundere? You mean in the old vein of Narusegawa Naru eh?

I don't think that the focus on Inami and Souta is necessarily bad, as it does lead to even more comedy, but it does make it feel a little like the other characters are under-utilized. Jun and Yachiyo are getting their turn in the spotlight though, instead of being in the background like they usually are, so that should count for something.

Hmm, come to think of it, we've never had a truly Poplar-centric episode yet, have we?

[Nukerjsr]

Yeah, I'm kind of with most of the people here. If you love Inami, hey, this episode is great for you. You get more Inami fluff. But if you don't like Inami, this is just kind of annoying.

I don't know, it feels like Inami gets more and more confused every episode. If Inami does something good, it's make Takanashi look good because while he doesn't like Inami's Actions, he sticks by her hoping to cure her Androphobia. And damn, I have to really appreciate that guy for that. But those ending words at the end really annoyed me. Like, Inami fearing that once her androphobia is cured, Takanashi will go away. I hope this series doesn't end like I think it's going to end. And I wish this show wouldn't sell the idea that "Hey, if a girl is crazy or has some life-debilitating issue, oh, that's okay, it's just cute."

Nazuna was great in this episode, you have to love her. And Yamada is very fun. That beginning cracked me up with her and Souma just because of how they acted. You have to love them. I like Yamada more and more I see her, and I also liked how she dressed as Kyouko. Poplar...poor girl, guess we'll never have an episode that focuses on her.

The whole thing with Yachiyo and Satou...I really felt like it was tedious at this point since we know how everyone feels. Yachiyo is dense and won't learn, Satou is hurting himself because he still cares for Yachiyo, and Kyouko doesn't really care at all. (However, we may get more insight on that next episode, I'm still unsure to WHY Satou likes Yachiyo) It just feels like this series has that issue where no one can really speak honestly. (With the exception of the great Nazuna though)

Hoping for good things. But I fear that the end of the show is going to end with "Confession, Followed by Punch." And I hope that little bit of miscommunication doesn't end with all four of the Takanashi sisters punching Souta...

Naw. We Inami supporters just aren't as vocal as you guys.

[Myssa Rei]

Well, despite the complaining going on, I'm okay with the focus given to Inami and how she grapples with her phobia with help from Souta.

Woah, really would never of guessed it was the person who voiced Kyou, Yamada is definately the Fuko of this series, as you said especially with the Yamada is a Customer now and Yamada of the Future scenes. :P

Well said. Inami's cuteness and character's value does not need constant support and praise.

[Vexx]

I'll probably get annoyed if we get too much 'shipping, eh? Let the story unfold in natural directions. Otherwise,you're just getting mad at the author and you should write your own story

Well, it was just like I was with serenade_beta and most other opinions on this episode concerning Inami. ^^; It's just a simple thing now where if you love the character, this episode just clicks for you compared to other episodes.

I do however think that Inami is the hotly-debated character this anime season in terms of like or dislike. Even if I am personally loud with my opinions, there are people who definitely show their support for the girl.

This episode I do think wins for best cutaway gag. When they show Nazuna in her uniform, Poplar asks "Are you still in grade school?" "Yes." "NYAHH @_@" I cracked up at that. XD

yeah...i'm really sad for poplar-chan...i really like her and i've been waiting so long for an episode that mainly (or at least) focus on her...but sadly, none...

but she's still the cutest and most lovable character in this series...for me...

oh and i think i'm already immune with this anime's focus on inami...i really enjoyed the latest episode...and yamada? a very entertaining character indeed...so i guess i'm still okay...

since this anime is nearing its end, let's just enjoy the remaining episodes and just go with its flow...(like we have a choice? hehe...just kidding)...

oh again that's just my opinion...

Shipping in a series based on a 4koma. Exercise in frustration and delusion?

Thinking Nazuna just likes to be helpful, by any means necessary. Would like some more focus on Poplar and Yamada, though I don't mind the heavy(or very faint topsy turvy) Inami development.
