| Since embedded links don't work at the moment, my impressions of this episode are here: http://youtu.be/p0JUMTalCk8 I'll admit that the formula is starting to become a bit dry for me, though it was a good episode nonetheless. |
 |
| The vacuum cleaner part was beyond retarded, even from her it's too much. All the second-hand embarrassment and cringing this show gives me... Kii-chan is such a good girl. |
 |
| Well, that's what you get for lying to your younger cousin like that. You got her hopes up, then smashed them with a sledgehammer. No doubt she'll be thinking very differently about you from now on, Tomoko. I had to look away three times, because it was getting too embarrassing to watch. I was honestly hoping the guy would be single and looking for a girl, and that he'd actually like Tomoko, but it seems she got her hopes up too soon, which means she has to start over from scratch. She could've just told him that her cousin is a bit delusional, but I guess she decided that being truthful was the better option, even if it meant losing this guy forever. And are those kids not aware of the type of gloves she wears during that card game? Do none of them ever wonder how she's able to get the best card out of nowhere, right before she's about to lose? And I guess she's really on the bottom of the social ladder if she needs to impress a bunch of grade school kids to look even remotely popular. That's quite pitiful. |

| Man even on episode 8, this show is still painful to watch when I look at Tomoko. Well I hope she improves well during future episodes. Anyway the vacuum part was funny as well as the outfit that she bought was lol. Huh it's the guy that gave her the umbrella I didn't expect that he would be here. I nice introduction for Ki-chan and seeing her thoughts on Tomoko. At least she get to spend time with Tomoko in the end. Haha the card game looks interesting when she began to execute her moves into defeating the boy. |

| Kii chan is cute. Hope they show her again. |
 |
| That cringe-worthy second hand embarrassment. Too bad Kii-chan's pitying eyes didn't look out as well as in manga: http://z.mfcdn.net/store/manga/9370/02-016.0/compressed/s008.jpg |
| Hmm why was Ki-chan shocked when she saw Tomoko bow to Kosoka? Was Tomoko apologizing to him? MTG 0____0 Queen referencing Chihiyafuru : 0 They made up in the end |

| At least Tomoko had an almost normal conversation with someone else for once, despite all the bad stuff that happened because of it. Maybe she could have even become friends with the guy if she hadn't lied to her cousin. |
| wow gay |
| So far the most awkward episode to watch. Still enjoyable nonetheless. Also recognized the card she cheated in. Edit: Doesn't seem to be working... |

| I don't believe that violence is a viable option in parenting, but she really had that slap coming. 3/5. |
| ... I just want to cry ;_; |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Vacuum hickeys lol |
The_Mad_Wizard said: The lies are unbearable. ( •_•) This is me while watching the whole thing http://youtu.be/2rn-lqkE58I LOL She had four contacts in her phone and three of them were family members lol. |
| this ep!!!, super LOL.. |
 |
| I thought the boy who gave her the umbrella could be his friend, i have never been so wrong :D |
 |
| Lol I think Tomoko is starting to lose it. XD |
| bitchslap by your mother and i love Tomoko's rape face poor little Kii-chan her reality was shattered |
 |
| I couldn't bear to watch the humiliation she had to overcomer........ i mean its so embarrasing, i had to minimize it time to time.>.<.. |
| My enjoyment of this show dropped exponentially. The latter half I was wondering why I was still watching. |

| Mogami-kun said: I don't believe that violence is a viable option in parenting, but she really had that slap coming. Indeed, I would not have slapped my daughter under those same circumstances. Another very famous slap in anime is in the 1991 feature-length anime film Only Yesterday ( おもひでぽろぽろ / Omoide Poro Poro ). The father slapped his ten-year-old daughter because she walked out the front door without first putting her shoes on. In addition, the story presented the father and his disciplinary behavior in a positive light. However, the law in many countries nowadays says that this is child abuse or criminal assault. So that scene was TOTALLY unacceptable for western audiences. The director (Isao Takahata) would not agree to any of the content being cut out for overseas versions. As a result, Only Yesterday has never been dubbed. It is truly a shame since it is a hauntingly beautiful film. For me, it is the most compelling depiction of life of anything that Studio Ghibli has done. Yet Only Yesterday remains the only Ghibli movie not to have been released for home video in the US and Canada. I should add that just now I cannot find a primary source to back up my recollections of this situation, so please don't cite me. In addition it should be mentioned there was some other highly- controversial material in the story, such as the fact that ten-year-old girls start to get their monthly periods. You can find that same scene described in words (and a still photo) here: http://ghibliproject.blogspot.ca/2011/10/only-yesterday-reaction-to-miyazakis.html You can pick up a few more details in this discussion: http://forums.megatokyo.com/index.php?showtopic=1729117&view=all - - - - - - - MorningGlory said: The most common was the 90-degree bow. To be honest, her bowing style is kinda scary. It reminds me of Sadako (The Ring) crawling out from the television. Tomoko's bow of apology in the anime was very, very different from her bow of apology in the manga, which you can see clearly here: http://mangafox.me/manga/watashi_ga_motenai_no_wa_dou_kangaete_mo_omaera_ga_warui/v02/c015/13.html The style of Tomoko's bow in the manga is quite similar to bows of apology that I have seen before in anime, such as Kannagi. But her posture during her apology as shown in the anime was not familiar to me. Based on Googling, and not on any knowledge of Japan, it appears that what Tomoko was doing was a kind of bow called "zarei" (座礼) and here is a step- by-step illustration of the proper way to do it: http://www.sushi-guide-morita.de/htdocs_jp/verbeugung_jp.html If you search on Google Images for 座礼 you can see lots of pictures. |

| There were so many embarrassing moments in this episode that I was facepalming all the time. I mean seriously, Tomoko is always overdoing it. Now Kii-chan is pitying her -_- |

| I had to pause for a while, it just got too awkward for me. Nevertheless, it is is enjoyable, somehow. |
| Stop watching it then......if it isnt funny to you why do you watch a comedy show? |
| "Love is a drug to our brain , it stops the thinking function and when you realize it wether you acomplish it or not you'll enter in one of the 3 withdrawal states : happy , sad or anger. Once this drug gets hold of you you'd better be prepaired beforehand." - Me |
| MUST HUG POOR TOMOKO. |
| Oh man. Kii confronting the guy was so hard to watch! In the end Kii learned the truth about Tomoko too. Yandere Kii-chan is pretty scary and she just about lost all respect for Tomoko. I kinda feel bad for her, but she totally deserved it for all those lies of hers. Even cheating at a kids game isn't too much for her. :/ MorningGlory said: Sedinus said: I don't know if I should feel bad for regognising this card right away.   Edit: god dammit, I haven't posted in such a long time, how do I make pics work again? The word "http://" should go away. No, the img tag is currently still disabled due to a recent attack on the site. He's actually doing it right. |

| In that card game, only to me she looked like Yugi or smt from Yu gi oh? xD |
| Lol that's the Queen for you, she ended Yot-chan's whole card career right there. Oh and Rie voicing that little cousin girl, hggggggg. |
 |
| Do not lie or the shot can backfire |
 |
| I am conflicted, Tomoko's attempt at coolness backfired so hard it was painful to watch, but this made her cousin awaken the goodness in her heart, from now on no doubt the little birds will flock to her hands, woodland creatures look for her caress and violent animales will become docile in her presence. I am looking forward to the next time they meet, maybe kii-chan wil drag with chains a boy to let Tomoko believe there is a member of the opposite sex interested in her >_< |
| It's always so painful looking at Tomoko... Anyway, Kii-chan is so cute, but Tomoko just had to go pathetic-mode and kind of change Kii-chan's personality now. |
| Signature |
| Sometimes I didn't want to watch to the screen. Poor poor Tomoko :D |
| when Kii-chan went and talk to the boy i was like puching the wall tomoko should just tell the truth |
| Im beginning to dislike this anime and Tomoko is starting to get annoying |
 |
| man this episode was kind of funny but it also gave me SO MUCH second hand embarrassment. it was really nice seeing umbrella boy again, i was secretly hoping he'd become a recurring character but yenno it's watamote of course that wouldn't happen. anyways, i totally sympathize with kii-chan here. she went from admiring to looking down to pitying tomoko. just like me! okay episode, 4/5 |

| FAVORITE MANGA CHAPTER, HOLY SHIT THAT WAS INTENSE |
| Usually I think its funny when Tomoko gets into unfortunate messes because of her own misconceptions or misunderstandings. But she really dug herself into a hole for this one by involving her cousin and a random person. |
| Very funny episode :D 5/5 sure! |
Tekakurika said: In that card game, only to me she looked like Yugi or smt from Yu gi oh? xD Please enlighten yourself with Magic the Gathering. The only difference is that the average age for MTG players is much much higher. I would have laughed so hard if she was cheating a JTMS out. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| The vacuum part was pretty silly lol. I find it funny at just how many people cringe and have such a hard time watching this anime. I lol at most of the goofy things Tomoko does and usually have a grin on my face for the entire episode. I guess it's just my kind of humor. |
| The full opening is finally out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q73o3bdThWw |
| Loved the Yu-Gi-Oh! Reference |
| see I knew that "heart of the cards" stuff was all bull. lol. funny episode this week. |
| sentence of each episode: paused for a while ,too painful to watch |
YouTube raped the file. |
