Another funny episode, especially the video part of Natsumi wanted to marry her brother, I thought the video supposed to be a recording of their favourite show from tv.

Also Ren-chon headgear:

at first sight, I thought it was kaho horns headgear from ragnarok online XD

That's how I see it, anyway.


It might be as you say, but I got this nagging feeling otherwise. Lets compare delinquent-san (nobody on the series calls her by her given name >_< ) and nee-nee (the teacher).

1. nee-nee gets a salary depending on how many classes she gives, lets suppose she is only paid for one grade, nevertheless that is 4 or 5 classes (from the record card shown on an earlier episode) as a civil servant and she does not have a boss to yell at her if she feels like arriving at 12'o clock, as long as she grades her students she is doing her job.

2. Delinquent-san gets a salary equal to whatever five kids spend on sweets (and they are not fatties that can't go on without getting a dose every day (or after every meal)) or toys (which by her own admission suck hard) and she is all alone while doing her job (the TV is inside the house and she does not seem to have at least a radio with her).

I can perfectly understand why nee-nee does what he does, she gets paid a good salary and gets to interact with the kids, checks their homework then she is off to do whatever she fancies (like window shop at amazon in what to spend her easily earned money). I cannot understand why someone would man a nearly empty shop (that does not sell anything important) for less than minimum wage, she could do the same job at a lawson (since bar codes became the norm even a chimpanzee could do it), get paid more, get to interact with more people and have more fun on her free time. The only reason i can think of is that she has some kind of phobia (to closed spaces, to crowds, to tall building, ???).

Another adorable episode! This is the best series of the season! 2nd best in 2013 (Monogatari beats it by a nose...)

Kazuho does.

And I personally would rather have my own, unfrequented shop than be some human robot working on checkout at some chain store. Plus of course doing the latter would mean having to move to somewhere else. Even if it did mean getting paid more.

Then again the places where these weird little shops do seem to survive in unlikely places usually tend to be in areas with a tourism industry - the money they make in tourist season thus making up for the lack of it during the rest of the year. Yet the only things we saw over the summer with any relation to that were a couple of people coming to visit relatives in the village.

this show is legendary, not much of the best character hotaru though.

I really enjoyed this episode, but I did notice there was a real lack of Hotarun...

Still, it was Natsumi's episode, so it was only fair really.

So I guess next year their oniichan would move to town to continue high school like Hikage (Renge older sister)?

Komachan as cute as ever. <3
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

liking Konomi more and more with that bit with Hika-nee. I guess that "way back when" shot is a hint that she's quite a bit older than Koma-chan and friends unless she grew like Hotarun

5/5

A light-hearted festival so I had not yet seen after the most pompous seen in the past, is hilarity! Nice plot, it's back to the pure slice of life in the narrative, but there is more! ^ _ ^
Nice blast from the past, I remember when the cable reels conosle Atari 2600, then moved to the Sega Megadrive! * _ *
This anime manages to immerse myself in the context in which they are the protagonists, I can feel their detachment from modern life stressful and fast, standards-based flavors. And then, and always so nice to see them in the past. I hope we can put some other character before the end! : D
Too bad that the drawings are not always excellent, I do not know what I would give to them as well! ^ ^ "
Komari too cute, but he always manages to outdo Renge with his find, good performance even Natsu and the others, too bad there was little room for Hotarun! ^ ^ "

P.S. Moar Non Non Biyori! *_*

I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

Judging from responses on this thread, that's the easiest of Ren-chon's "guess what this is"es to get right of the entire series by far.

Wow, what a cultural festival ahahaha. Few students and few visitors, but they still managed to have some fun ^^
Ahhh, I used to have toys like that, they are awesome...........and I miss them T^T
I would love to see the rest of that video ahahaha. Natsumi blushed *o*
I am sure that Suguru would make a good husband because he is a faithful dog ahahaha.
Things like "I will marry onii-chan or onee-chan when I grow up" happens quite a lot in Anime, and I am assuming that it really happens in Japan too, now why is that.
Dat play lol. Renge is hilarious as usual.
