Two great chapters this time. I really liked how they adapted the second part about Hiro's career decision.

The first half was funny. I giggled so much. It was so fun. x3

As for the second half, Hiro has decided that she will become a teacher. Being supported by her friends also helped her gain more confidence and made Hiro feel at ease. =) Love the moment between Hiro and Sae.

A very great episode, no doubt!

Best episode of the season so far for me. Have to admit that I teared up along with Hiro. Sae was so awesome!

I would have loved to have seen Miyako's face after Yuno said she was beautiful. I could feel the heat all the way down here in New Zealand!!

Even though i was a little tired when watching this episode, it's still very enjoyable. Miyako's reaction was gold to me, i think this is the first time i've seen her acting like that. I like the second part, the moment between Hiro and Sae feel so strong that it really touched me.

Heartwarming episode, probably one of the best of this series imo, thanks to it, my exhausting have somehow disappeared :)

Principal, what have you done with Yoshinoya-sensei?!
She sounded almost like respectable member of society...

Perfect yuri episode
I loved Miyako and Yuno part. So sweet to see those two together, especially from bit different side.

Hiro as a child... sugar overload.

If this doesn't end with Hiro and Sae getting married, it'll be a grand tragedy.

More later (maybe). Gotta run some errands.

There was a fair amount of art stuff in this episode. What's up with that? It's like they are at an art school or something. (grin)

Miya comes up with very good ways to troll Yuno.

Wow. The second half of this episode was really quite powerful. I never expected that from Hidamari Sketch.

This is probably one of the best episodes among all the seasons just for the second half. It's the first time they pick a serious/dramatic theme for an episode and they performed it flawlessly. I never expected Hidamari Sketch to actually drive me to tears with an episode.

The series should have one of these too with Yuno, she's always been the most obvious candidate for these kind of dramatic plotlines.

Great episode, really love the part with Miyako and Yuno, too cute. The pure emotion between Sae and Hiro in the second half was just amazing and beautiful. It leads to this...

I wonder how many more seasons that they have.. I know they could get one more at least because of Miyako and Yuno graduation, Sae's and Hiro's post graduation... maybe another with Nazuna and Nori, but we will shall see.

This was probably the best episode so far
With Yuno and Miyako shining at the first part
then an unexpected serious Hiro x Yoshinoya dialoque in the second
Finally a Hiro centered episode
it broke my heart when I realized it's going to end soon with Sae and Hiro graduating

God, this episode was epic. The best so far, even counting previous seasons I daresay.
Never expected Hidamari to be like this, I seriosly teared up at Hiro's part, but it was so heartwarming when Sae conforted her... simply brilliant!

Not just you. I was like "Ho boy, here we go again."

And I would have really loved to see Miyako's face.

Yoshinoya acted like she should. That was surprising too. It kinda ruined the scene when she started to complain to Kuwahara about how she acted incompenetently. At least Sae straightened Hiro out.

Great episode. I didn't expect such an emotional episode for this show (except for the graduation episode).

I'm going to be really disappointed if Sae and Hiro doesn't end up living together in college.

10/10 episode! I like both parts so much. Feeeeelz!

Flattered Miyako was so cute! And double bath was also nice.

The second part was very nostalgic and sad, it reminded me how much I enjoy watching this series and that it soon will be over... they really like each other so much. Graduation and parting will sure be tough.

And teacher is sure great choice for Hiro.

I've rewatched the series once... or twice... since it came out in 2012. One thing that always bugged me was the scene from when Yuno and Miyako were sealing their self-portrait sketches and Miyako walked away from Yuno in embarrassment. I didn't understand how Mami and Nakayama could have seen Miyako's face, given that Miyako was facing away from them as she walked past.

Last week my pre-order of the DVD release (for the US) came, and I've been watching the show - in good quality - and I immediately froze the screen at that same scene. I jumped online to one of the sites I usually stream from to check my memory, and then grabbed a screen shot for comparison...



Problem solved, I guess :D

(There are a few other things different as well - some more stuff on the desk in from of Mami and Nakayama. But mainly I notice that Yuno's position has changed as well - they must have been in the same layer separate from the rest, and moving Miyako "forward" did the same to Yuno)

Oh, yer both cute.

It may surprise you to learn that people can assess others' appearances without it meaning they want each other as more than friends. (They might, still, but...)

Miyako's eyes just got -cchied.

Awwww! Li'l Hiro!

If a cyclone and an anticyclone touch, will they destroy each other in a burst of energy?

Yes, the endless march of students as they get into school, move through the years, and graduate. (Or transfer in and out, or even, tragically, die on occasion.) Change brought in Yuno and Miyako, and later Nori and Nazuna. It also sent away Misato and Riri. One day, it will send away the current principal, and eventually Yoshinoya, Kuwahara, Ikezawa, and Mashiko, and others will take their positions.

Probably my favorite episode of the entire series so far. The moment between Sae and Hiro made me tear up. :')

The moment when Hiro started to cry and Sae gave her a hug was so touching.
