I don't think it was that bad, but that's a topic suited for elsewhere. But it was definitely troublesome near the end. I'd say someone loves to start threads that lead nowhere, which makes the narrative watered down, and it's definitely a huge issue-- this episode being one example. So yea, I'm not too fond of the pacing in any of their works that much.
But I won't say that much, since I have no idea what to do when Okadamania runs wild on me.

Anyways about this ep... yeh. Minko's expression sums up what I thought about the episode. Enishi is portrayed to be just as fail and pathetic as Jiro here. Not to mention, the whole movie being a scam was annoying. And Management Consultant fanservice.... DO NOT WANT. The best part of the episode (or should I say the only good part) was the phone call with Satsuki. Next episode please. |

Holy fucking shit this episode was patronizing.
Can someone on their production committee honestly tell me with a straight face that is quality entertainment? This is awful. Oh hey, we had an opportunity to make Enishi's quest to try and better the inn provide solid character development! Nah dawg, we couldn't possibly develop a male character in this anime could we? Shit, so how we do we avert this crisis? OH I KNOWZ, I HAZ A PLAN. Lets scrap everything that happened in the previous episode and make the characters look ridiculously stupid at the same time! YAY!!!! I seriously would love to know why the fucknig hell PA works doesn't use the director for the first episode to do the entire series because clearly these other idiots don't know what they are doing. So apparently Hanasaku Iroha can only be entertaining when it focuses on Ohana. Great. This anime has one character truly worth caring about. This episode is trash. This series is slowly degrading into trash. 1/10 for the episode, I am planning on a 6/10 for the series. It's just not good. I don't look forward to its episodes anymore. I was bored as hell this episode. Is this really what PA works has to offer? I don't think I'm watching another one of their animes ever again unless I really hear good things about it. Besides True Tears, they've pretty much been a garbage studio. GG.

After thinking on it, I realised that Nako's arc is up which is another 2-3 eps. Unfortunately I don't care much about the character so that will be another 2-3 eps gone. Then I realised every character has gotten an arc, and Minko being a major character means she's likely to get one too, so that's another 2-3 eps, which leaves the final arc (likely Ohana and conclusion) as the only one I really care about. The thought made me rage to the point I am putting the series on hold and waiting other people's receptions.

Getting Yuina back in the massage chair lifts this to 7/10. And that's generous.
Honestly, some of the laziest writing Okada-sensei has ever done. I hope she's not involved with the weekly scripting of this series or my world is severely shaken.

Echoing the sentiments that this week's episode was subpar. It just lacked the something special that the series has usually captured well. Maybe it's Enishi and maybe it's something else. I just hope this cour finds its hook soon.

At any rate, Okada's in charge of the concept and outline for each episode, so she's ultimately responsible for the outcome as well. While work may be delegated, each sub-writer works according to her specifications (which include how characters are portrayed and developed). |

Eh?! The arc just ends like this?!
In the end, Waka was really just a Baka. A lame guy all the way around. I guess this arc tries to show that he is at least a little less lame than before, but he's still so lame, I don't see much different. First time I learned his name was Enishi. I think there was a Yugioh card called that. Six Samurai - Enishi? Takako was... Well, not any more likable than before. Simple. Quote:
*sigh* Just buy the collection set for TT. It's only around 30 dollars for every episode here. (Nice deal!)

I was really hoping that these two episodes about Enishi would make me like him more. It seemed like it too, especially with him manning up to Satsuki, but then afterwards with Takako...urgh. Have lost respect for pretty much most male characters in this anime aside from Ren and Beanman. I am giving Jiro another chance, but after this "highlight" on Enishi, I doubt it'll be any good even if he gets another one.

It's not like you got anything else worth noting in the past two episodes anyway.

Of course, it probably helps that I have a lot of faith in Okada delivering a great finishing arc to this show- hey, my faith in getting a good end of first cour arc was not misplaced. Much easier to enjoy the quirky comedy episodes when I'm sure the show will get the the drama in good time. Course, I dig the show's sense of humour and I get the impression a number of posters here don't. *************** As for this particular episode, you've probably gathered I think its obviously flawed. I disagree with those that say its pointless though, since it actually does establish some of Enishi's personality, and I'm pretty sure he'll play a role in the finale, what with being the successor and all. I also have to admit that I enjoyed this episode far more than its objective merits probably warrent - I was in a great mood after this, thanks to Minko and Tomoe's expressions among other things. (On enjoyment vs. objective traits - while objectively this is probably the show's weakest episode thus far, I actually enjoyed it more than episode 15, which left me feeling that the writers really needed to start playing the "Ohana wins the day" card less often.)
