Wow, the finale coming close! Well judging by the looks of things, especially the preview, good and bad things will occur. Hopefully, Ohana and Ko are together in the end, overall I am hoping for season 2.

Preparation on festival with Yuina.

Too much guests, so hard to arrange for servicing everyone, especially for meal.

They think Ohana is being on gr.ma's side.

Kissuisou is changing.

Gr.ma letting Kou-chan to stay in her room as her friend.

Yuina's mistake is actually letting everyone to pause and discuss. Gr.ma (who heard what Nako told Ohana) and mother (who suddenly came back) are helping out. Even the callings are different.

After a work, they are able to get to the festival. (Special chorus ED, and my guess that it's Bonbori ya/Night of Bonbori from OST releasing September 28, 2011)

Next ep. is final ep.

Kissuisou is mess up. Good thing Nako realise what is going on. Enishi is stupid.
Ohana's mum is really awesome, she's a good waitress too :D So she also does waitress work when she's young.
No Ko-chan this episode? Aww :( Bean-man is cute haha.

Loved the episode. The ending was pretty.

For some reason, I have a feeling no one will end up with anyone but of course I could be wrong. Was that Ohana saying "I love you" to Ko?

I am not sure anymore whether there is a chance for Tohru and Minko but I still don't want it to happen. If it did, it will definitely feel forced.

I've enjoyed the series overall despite some bumps in the road. But I did not like this episode.

While it was nice to see that the stubborness of the characters backfired on them. I didn't like how Madam Manager decided to help out at the last minute. Worse yet, Satsuki showing up to lend an extra helping hand was cheesy as hell and came out of nowhere.

I like the fact the two most stubborn women came through in the end to help out! Idk but in times of need, people come together for others :'3 At least in my reality they do.

Did Ko not make it? XD (probably will see him in the next ep right?)

I liked the interaction between Tohru and Ohana. It was subtle but was exactly what Ohana needed to pull herself together!

I have that feeling that Okami won't be around for much longer :'( just too many times where she has been feeling dizzy.

Overall. This is my first 5/5 rating for Hanairo ep. :heart:

Even though he'd get turned down, and he knows that he will get turned down, I still want Torhu to confess to Ohana.

And I especially can't wait to see what happens with Torhu and Ko finally meet. Back in episode 12, Tohru wanted Ko to go with them back to the Kissuiso so he could "size him up" XD

Minko is a bitch, and she doesn't deserve Torhu. I'd rather have Torhu with Nako or Yuina.

This episode was good and funny. i had so much laughs. only annoying part was Minko.. whenever she get screen time i want to slap her so hard.

Ohana confession in preview seems for Kissiuso and not Kou.. she found something again in Kissiuso, lets just hope she won't turn down poor guy once more. He was very happy in previous episode.

Without a doubt my favorite part of this episode was having the three generations of Shijima women working alongside each other - all as waitresses no less! Loved it.

On the flipside, the internal fighting among the staff was tough to watch, with Minko being the worst offender. As much as I want to like her, her personality and way of dealing with things tends to make things worse. Enishi is just a retard and it's looking more and more like snatching Takako might be his biggest accomplishment in life. Wow, how my impression of her has changed. Then again, it's not difficult to look good next to that guy. Slap him again, please.

There was just enough Yuina to keep things from getting way too serious.

Ko comes to Kissuiso finally next week. Hope all goes well. Can't wait for the finale.

Enishi = useless wimp
Minchi = aggressive brat
Tooru, Tomoe, Ren = actually believe Enishi, fail to realize that it's not Ohana who's changed, but Kissuiso
Takako = she slapped Enishi, so she gets plus points
Nako = BEST CHARACTER
Ohana = great behaviour in this episode, I like her thoughtful side more than her usual impulsiveness
Satsuki = COOLEST CHARACTER
SUI = AWESOME CHARACTER

Throwing some uncalled for angst near the end... Japanese style indeed...

Sometimes the angst is good and justified. Not the case of this show apparently. You'd think Obama was depressed by the current economy or wotever herp derp (but valid) other reason, but turned out she was depressed cuz she can't show her male whore Kou-chwan the usual Kissuisou that fails to adapt to modern times and on the verge of shutting down. Instead of focusing on efficiency and satsifaction for the majority, they take their sweet ass times to please the minority, i.e regular customers. No wonder it's gonna shut down... But it doesn't matter rite? Even if some of them will find no job, they'd be happy sleeping like a stray dog in a cardboard as long as their customers are happy that Kissuisou kisses their ass... Oh wai-... Most of the cast doesn't feel that way, only Obama does cuz girl has her momma to run back to after playing the spoiled little brat who enjoys sticking her nose into others bznz. Such luxury!

But don't worry, somehow, in the end everything will turn out fine. Animu shows like this promote those stupid ideologies after all so a happy ending will certainly be warrated as to encourage teh gullible otaku population that being a dumbass will make you succeed in life or sm'thing...

Wotever, when the bi0tch got ignored by the whole cast, I LOL'd my @$$ off. Talk about failure to read the damn mood... Well, she's retarded so it couldn't be halp... Then Minko made it even better by giving spoiled bi0tch another golden cold shoulder. Go girl!!! ヽ( ゚ヮ゚)ノ

5/5 for Golden Minko

PS: I r disappointed in you Mr. Bean... You're supposed to aim for Nikotin's rear, not this boring brat...

If she can't stop her maniacal fanboy from whining "Mamiko Noto" this "Mamiko Noto" that in every single threads, she should be fired.

Sui and Satsuki are doing their best to get Enishi to take the roll of Young Manager. Even if he isn't the best for the job, his wife certainly has steel in her spine (and a wallop in her slap). I wonder if that was like the relationship between Sui and her husband?

I once had a job where I was required to be on the road in another city for about 75 days a year. Regardless of where the meetings were, I stayed at one hotel just about every time I went. It wasn't that different from other high-end hotels, but the staff knew my name, greeted me when I came back, and generally made me feel at home (my favourite was the Valet who brought my car around from parking for my usual departure time without needing to be called). Efficiency is all well and good, but comfort, friendliness, and a homey feeling are what bring you back to a hotel or an inn. Kissisou's competitive advantage is that old fashioned service and Ohana and Sui have to figure out how to get everyone else to realize that.

What a way to end the episode--the chorus and Bonbori lights were beautiful.

-People may bash Enishi as being useless, but I kinda sympathize with him as he was in the shadow of his mother and sister for pretty much all his life and the second time he tries to do things his own way it screws up. If anyone's angst is justified, it's his.
-Minko is Minko. I don't have the out and out disdain it seems some people here have for her, but her general lack of characterization/development really does just leave as kinda abrasive.
-So Ren x Tomoe actually is a thing now? I guess?
-Totally called Jiromarou actually narrating his thoughts. That guy's hopeless.
-I thought it was really cool seeing the Shijima/Matsumae women all working together.

As for next week though? Unless PA Works is throwing one hell of red herring we FINALLY get Ohana confessing to Ko, and it sounds like Sui is dying? I guess that only leaves what Ohana is going to do, which if you think about it is probably going to be the focal point of the episode.
Ha-cha!

I can say one thing for sure, Ohana ain't inheriting the Inn, she lacks experiences in management and the only way she can inherit the Inn is, if Enishi is shooting blanks inside of Takako.

From the 1st introduction of Enishi character to now, its a fact, that he's a failure, who only talks big.
I'm sure many others have pointed this out already. Minko is irritating with the same boring attitude, she like the highest tier of tsundere spectrum!

It felt like a trope, when the employees gang up on Ohana, for siding with her grandmother, but she wasn't, she didn't even know what has transpired...

Satsuki/Ohana/Sui = very cute moment, ironically KO has to die young, when he gets with Ohana.

Near the end, when Sui was kneeing down for a moment, it signals the flag, that she might die or fallen ill next episode...

There no KO anywhere in this episode, I guess they're saving best moments for last? The preview for #26 seem confusing, I will be disappointed, if she stated her love for the Inn (unlikely). I would enjoy a anti-climax confession and a kiss to end this series.

I really didn't like how everyone was being so tense throughout this episode. Everyone thought of Ohana siding with the landlady, even though she really didn't. Meanwhile Enishi is being blinded by his wish to prove himself and get through it without accepting any help. No wonder he got a mental breakdown in the end.

Seeing Ohana's mother and grandmother help as waitresses was pretty refreshing to see. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Everyone working together and managing somehow, made the whole tense feeling from the beginning disappear like snow in the sun. I really loved this shot. Three generations of Matsumae walking beside each other:



The last shot was also really beautiful. The last episode will be all about the festival and most notably; confession time for Kouichi and Ohana of course. I don't want it to end yet though, dammit! ;_;

I loved Tohru's and Ohana's 'arguing'... best scenes this episode.

This was honestly, the best episode in the while! This show went downhill for an amount of time, but this was definitely a step up.

Looking forward to the finale.

I'm glad they kinda brought the cast together for a final bow, but still feel like they're overexaggerating the emotions involved here. It seems to me like only Ohana and Sui actually kept their heads throughout the whole crisis, and that kinda bothered me, especially since Minchi started yelling at Ohana again. Bit too angsty for me.

But here's hoping for a good ending to the series! Although it's kinda dropped from my initial expectations, they've set up the final episode nicely and I'm hoping they can pull it off. Lots of potential right there.

seriously there is no way she could leave the Kissuiso to Enishi. the guy is an emberassment, nothing but a whiny loser. how could Takako even marry this clown? crying and whining, and he's totally whipped in his marriage.

they were harsh to Ohana in the beginning for no reason.

seriously she'd be better off leaving the place to Ohana than Enishi. the guy is just plain a LOSER.
