| WHAT WAS BEHIND THE DOOR!? x_x |
 |
| I'm kind of frustrated, how come kou hasan't seen ohana yet? And I have a feeling that they won't see each other >< Lylaaz said: Wtf.. this episode felt way too short ! WAAAAAY TOO SHORT i tell ya!!! Indeed, this episode felt really short. Nothing really happened :( omg, something better happen in the next episode! |

| Awesome Ohana. Just awesome. For all her (minor) faults, on the important matters, she just gets it. Okamisan should bypass her well-intentioned but incompetent son and pass the inn to her when it's time. The wannabe consultant is a complete failure and the son is a bigger failure for entrusting the family business to such a person. And there's the reunion with Ko still to come. Yuina's adorable. She's completely spoiled, but you can see why. Such an enjoyable episode. It will be an agonizing wait until next week. |

OtakuronZ said: WHAT WAS BEHIND THE DOOR!? x_x Tohru getting married secretly. Ohana will be in deep shock and tears for Minchi. |
 |
| This episode was too short... Can't wait for a week :3 |
 |
| I have a feeling it's going to be sad next episode... |
| Pretty nice episode i wonder how Ohana would react when she runs into ko-chan. I thought Ohana was right about treating customers equally it would definitely look better towards that magazine then when only a few customers are treated well and the others aren't. And judging from the grandmothers reaction it seems like she trusts Ohana more that her own son which i can understand judging his behavior. To me it seems he can't do nothing without his girlfriend around and it seems Ohana's grandmother is well aware of this. I wonder if Ohana will end up visiting her again anyway. |
| great ep, not much to say, at least I did enjoy it better than the previous... 5/5 |
| awesome ep! damn, this is really heading into a love triangle! Ohana going to get Tohru and now she will have to go in his motorcycle and put her arms around his waist and then she will meet Ko who will get jealous for sure, OMGGGG, i wonder how will Tohru and Ko react XD cant wait for next ep! |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| This episode was awesome and left me wanting more. Ko is going to arrive at the Inn only to find out that Ohana isn't there. That's going to happen or Ko is going to find Ohana with Tohru hugging or talking or something like that and he's going to misunderstand something. |
 |
| next episode couldnt come out any sooner xD and Ko finally arriving! |
| Great ep~:3 I can't wait for ep 9 , hahas :3 I am excited to see ko chan :D again :3 |
| I hope Okamisan doesn't die in this series or the novel, we don't want Ohana or Minko snapping. |

Step aside everyone and give the spotlights to Ohana/Kou both are excellent in this episode. Especially Kou in the preview with the following, upon hearing the preview I want Kou to move his ass and help Ohana with inn. Resulting a relation blossom that shall end with a kiss? Perhaps not but something emotional that will be amazing! I want my wish to come true and from the looks of the next episode it shall hopefully since there is mention of “Thank You Kou” Seriously that will be amazing. About Kou, Kou was pretty cool this episode and he so blushed at Ohana's thank you towards him. I did find it lame that they cut out the conversation suddenly because of the tunnel. It's natural but I would have wanted a longer conversation. I do understand it will make Ohana's surprise even bigger. Everyone will so assume he is her boyfriend. Checked the date of Kou's cell phone and it's the same as this years except it all happened yesterday at 11:48am. Cool! In the end Kou came in a bullet train and at last got off. However I was wrong in thinking it was the station close to the inn. In fact he has to take more transportation to get there. The other one is Ohana coming at Takako in her face to tell her “Hey bitch you going to screw up the inn and I am taking over.” As follows,  indeed I do have a problem with Takako's ways. My points outlined:
There I have said that needs to be said about her although I am perfectly fine with her comedic faces in the spoiler About Ohana, I loved Ohana's imagination of her with her Nako/Minko chibi format in the spoiler manager would be happy. It was really nice to see her being more worried over her grand-mother than the inn whereas it was the opposite with the grand-mother. I loved her expression change upon answering to Kou. I really hope things will got crazy by episode 9/10 with her and Kou. Who knows he might stay at the inn a little to help her. Loved Ohana's expression when she was suspicious of the Novelist even though himself was also suspicious with his glasses move. Probably the smallest yet biggest progress I have seen with Mr. Mr. Beanman and Ohana is when he helps her with the garbage in the spoiler Love the ED new song. Marvelous singing and beat. This is where Ohana shines the most and of all episodes so far in effort and determination to bring Thoru back! Put it this way this girl Rushes through despite making Minko have a bad face all the way. Bikes like crazy, while having a relaxing position sweats out a lot, put out her organization skills big time with using her cell phone as a position locator, runs through the station rushing down the mechanical stairs with all these people, runs the whole freaking city, so much in fact that people seriously notice her, and end really out of breath at the marriage place. Now that is amazing! Bravo to Ohana! About Sui Shijima, if you wonder about her illness look where she is grasping in the spoiler About preview, oh WTF @ the novelist having weird cartoon drawings on his chest. There shall be a fire in the kitchen? Epic Thoru rescue must come! Looks like a Ohana goof up in the marriage ceremony. Once again excellent episode. No ecchi gimmicks and good stuff only. |

| ahh what a cliffhanger xD 30 min is too short for this anime^^ |
 |
| Kou finally appears! I'm so excited to see next week's episode. Somehow I get the feeling Kou is going to see Tohru and Ohana together, maybe on the bike back to the inn or something. Love this show. |
| Excellent episodeee... I need more Tohruuu.... excited to see when all the characters collide! Go get him Ohana! |
  |
| Aww, great episode! I want more screentime for Kou, can't wait for next week's episode! :D |
| Ko-chan is coming ! |

geezer said: Your thoughts pretty much covered everything I wanna say about this ep. Thnx PS: Did not know Ren has such a cute side and dayum, Tohru sure looks good in a suit 8D And it seems like it's quasi impossible for a show to be popular w/o including some romantic geometry, even if the outcome is pretty much predictable... But then again, I don't expect this show to follow gutsy shows like 5cm/s (especially not since the 3rd ep onward) to pull off something realistic and refreshing in the romance department, something that they feel like is right for the show to be memorable and not afraid to hurt sentimentally frail fans ~ |

 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| That was probably one of the best cliffhangers I've seen in a while. |
| "You watch too much." "I don't watch enough."  |
| That was a great episode and I feel like everyone else has already said anything that I wanted to say. But really, the idea of treating some customers better than others, how does that not sound like it'll totally backfire? And for all they know the customers they'll be treating better may not even be those mystery customers. Derp I dunno. But if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, I'm glad that Ko's finally back in this episode. * u * Definitely looking forward to next week's episode since this week's cliffhanger of sorts for Ohana and Ko killed me. xD |

BitchMaster said: He sure does *stares at the snapshot*Tohru sure looks good in a suit 8D It really seemed like Ohana saw Tooru getting married XD [hope not] Want the next episode like now! Ko meeting Ohana is going to be fab. |
 |
| I REALLY HOPE ALL YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT!!! I hope Ohana is gonna meet up with Tohru, and then Tohru will be all "o/////o shes the only one that came to get me again.." and then shes gonna ride on the back of his bike, wearing his helmet, smelling his hair.. then Ko might be at the Inn (hopefully he knows where it is) and then he will see Tohru and Ohana... I REALLY HOPE Ko doesnt get stood up! T___T |
| I think the Tooru/Ohana scene will play out something like this: Ohana searches for Tooru non-stop, eventually coming to cause a huge mess in the wedding reception just as it starts or ends. Tooru will be completely shocked to see her there and the conversation will go something like this: T: Hah!? What the hell are you doing here?! O: Tooru-san! Kissuiso needs you! Ren-san is under pressure and he can´t cook. We need to get you back there ASAP. T: What?! And you came all this way just to get me back there. O: -stares intently- Please Tooru-san! And the people around them will just stare. T: Gosh, you sure are bad at reading the atmosphere. O: What´s that supposed to mean! T: Fine, let's just get out of here already. Then they go outside and Tooru gets on his bike and tells Ohana to get on. At first she refuses and blushes a bit. T: Hurry up and get on. O: Eh...eh?! B-but... T: Just get on already! Wasn't it you who said it was extremely urgent?! Eventually she hopps on too and grabs on to his waist. Whether he gives her his helmet or not I do not know. Either way, she´ll end up smelling his hair via wearing his helmet or by hugging him from behind while they ride on the motorcyle. Yeah, my prediction right there. xD EDIT: orz, now I feel like writing a Tooru/Ohana fanfic. :P |
| Hehe, what a cliffhanger. Good episode though. |

| IDK why they have to put a cliffhanger on that door, it's not like they would find a dead body inside or something. It would be funny if Ohana interrupted the wedding or got herself in a weird room XDD Jrittmayer said: ^That's a weird place to conduct a wedding... It's dark and messy at the entrance...

| Great cliffhanger! I have a feeling that there will be more misunderstandings... the fact that Ohana went to fetch Tohru will obviously make Minko more upset, and if Ko finds out about this, there will be even more misunderstandings. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| MY HAND SLIPPED, NYA. I didn't really like last weeks episode because of how... ridiculous the scenario was, but this week was more mellow and pleasant. Not enough Tohru or Nako though. I actually prefer Ohana with Ko since he seems like such a sweetie. The Ohana/Tohru thing feels kind of... plot-device-y. Excited to see him come to visit. It's pretty obvious that Ohana's going to come back on Tohru's motorcycle and then Ko will see them or something and misunderstandings will be abound again. She seems to waver between me liking her and being annoyed with her. Because I can see why Minko's so upset with her when she does things like running after Tohru to go get hm, since that'll only draw him closer to her. Minko's a lot more in-tune to things than she expresses. It was necessary for Ohana to do so, but it doesn't change Minko's feelings or the stress it'll ultimately put on the relationship. And I'm also thinking Okami will die sometime. Probably near the very end. geezer said: And that is exactly what I disliked about the episode. Ohana's impulsiveness is getting old by now. She is badly wanted as a waitress and yet she takes off, thinking that she is the only one who can do it. Someone with a car (spineless uncle or Takako) could've retrieved Tooru much faster than Ohana. She also doesn't think about Minko (who clearly doesn't like the idea of Ohana going to fetch Tooru AGAIN) but well, we can't blame her for that since she doesn't have the same insight as we, the watchers, have. ^--- Exactly my thoughts. |

| This episode felt so quick.. ; u ; oh well well anyways, good episode even though the cliffhanger annoys me.. anywho, Ko-chan is visiting 8D |
 |
| OMG!! Tohru + Ohana + Ko = TROUBLE!!! i can totally see a dark cloud coming upon thee.. interesting episode really wanna know what's gonna happen...if Ko misunderstands everything or if they have a normal happy reunion? |
 |
Ousto said: Lmao, you are always the voice of death, Ousto! XDCalling it now, the old lady is going to die sometime within the series. staticphrase said: Same here. Ohana's impulsive nature is borderline annoying. One minute I like her character, the next minute she does something stupid and completely out of the norm just to because the writer felt like making her a heroine.geezer said: ^--- Exactly my thoughts.

    |
| Is it me or did the episode flew by in like 8 minutes ? I was amazed the end had come so fast... Ohana was absolutely epic in this episode and the cliffhangers, albeit very simple, were really well put. Looking forward to next week, definitely. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| I felt like this was kind of a cliche story this episode. I have seen the whole "mystery customer" thing on several TV shows before. Not saying it was bad, just "done". |
| Tohru getting married secretly xD That'd be nice, though I'd probably avoid the thread for the next episode if that were so! Ohana has Ko, Minko can have Nako :pp |
 |
| thats the first time i've seen Mr.ren sweat so much!,then i would freak out under pressure to haha. |
