This series starting to grow on me. It has some subtle charm and eccentricity that's fine with me.

I'm probably being too harsh, but I hate Hagu as a character. Not only does she look like a 6 year old, she acts like one. I'm supposed to believe she's in college and a love interest to these guys? FFS.

When people look like a 6 yo, they get treated like one so much - they fit the mould. Happens in real life too.

One of my close friends looks like she's still in elementary school, and she's 22 and nearly has her degree. So it does happen. And she acts like a 10 year old when she's hyper, although that's usually at about 2:00 in the morning and we've all had to much chocolate... Anyway, it's not as unlikely as you may think.

Really starting to like this anime. Looking forward to more episodes!

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first one. I just have one problem with this Anime overall. I just can't get the fact that she is 18 out of my head... it is too weird... (this is coming from a huge loli fan) -o-

Now, that's a lot better than the first episode. I find Hagu to be likeable at all. :)

And the characters don't seem shallow as it looks like.

Hagu is so cute! XD But she doesn't seem like an 18-year old at all. Takemoto obviously likes her. I wonder if Morita does too. And I'm amazed at how talented she is.

hagu is so fucking annoying it's criminal. she prefers making stupid noises over forming words. and if i saw somebody hiding behind a curtain i'd think they were mentally deficient. i was waiting for her to thank morita but it never came.

morita, on the other hand, is quirky and awesome as well as mysterious. mayata is cool too. takemoto is too chirpy for me.

That's the way I felt until we saw her chatting it up with Yamada around 15min through. My guess is that she doesn't speak up or mellow out around people unless they're talking or doing stuff with art or at least pottery. She must've been real content being with just family and doing her art for most of her life up until now.

Her voice is actually really loud and obnoxious though. >_<

The banter with the homepage I kinda just found weird. Also when that old teacher saw Hagu's statue that she made. I know it was supposed to be funny but it just made me cringe.

So there's some mystery behind the suit guy (forgot his name lol) introducing Hagu and him asking someone in his head if he did the right thing. Also Morita's job is suspicious so I'm sure there will be more on that.

Enjoying the development so far. I guess it's gonna take me a little longer to get used to the art.

The store workers were speechless when Shinobu bought the shoes in cash. Hagu liked them and then went to have fun with them. She's pretty fun to watch.

Like others, my main complaint is Hagu. It annoyed me throughout the episode. It's one thing if she's small, but that she also acts like a child seems borderline insulting. She's supposed to be 18. -.-

I'm hoping there's some misunderstanding here and there's a reason for her to act the way she is.

I don't get why both Morita and Takemoto both seem so smitten with her either. Eh.

Morita is the most interesting part of the show so far. I'm curious what his job is. That was a heck of a lot of money ($320!) to pay for shoes. He takes care of his roommates pretty well too.

I tried. But I can't.

My main issue is the character design, which is something that is important for me; especially for longer shows.
And while the backgrounds are fine, the characters are not fine at all. In fact, Takemoto might be the ugliest (drawn) anime character throughout all shows I have seen so far.

Additionally, there is Hagu.. not much I'd have to say to that. Not only does she look like a kid, she actually acts like one. And the bad kind.. the ones that are already infatuated with materialistic crap in that age. I bet she'd be a huge Kardashian fan.

.. I can not watch this.

So I am supposed to believe that this 5 yr-old looking girl that seems to have the intelligence and maturity of a 5-yr old is the love interest of 1 (possibly 2 guys)? I mean she acts like she has autism. It seems like a failed Sakuraso so far, but its only 2 episodes in. I'll keep watching. Oh yeah and apparently she's in college when she has literal 0 social skills whatsoever. You need to at least be able to hold up a semi-decent conversation to make it through college.

Oh and I forgot to add, WHAT A BITCH! Who does this little cunt think she is? She didn't even thank the dude for getting her some expensive ass shoes -_-. I mean the guy falls over from exhaustion and she just runs past him to brag about her new shoes that she didn't thank the guy for... come on little girl mind your manners plix?

I feel really good about this one, from the watercolor art, to the monologues, to the awesome music and to that stomach ache moment at the end. Only problem is...Hagu. A bratty autistic timid 18 years old with a loli body as the love interest ? Eh will have to wait and see if she grows on me, I certainly hope so.

Seems like a pretty whacky story so far. I can't really make sense of any of it. The situations seem improbable.
Morita looks like the main character from Eden of the East.
And what's with Hagu? She looks like a child, but she's in a college?

It's funny what scenes remind you of others. Although we got a glimpse of her yesterday, I did not recognize the "third" girl until Shuji mentioned his gallery owner friend, though I am certain they are not the same characters.

As for today's episode, while it is very Hagu-centric, we get a decent look at the others through their interactions with her. While Takemoto looks at her in awe or reverence most of the time, he is intimidated by her skill. Morita may be something of a schemer, but he cares for his friends and is willing to gift them something they desire without hesitation or concern over the cost.

I don't remember picking up on this before, but we also see Akemi as very compassionate person. When she first, literally, bumps into Hagu her concern isn't for her wrecked project, but Hagu's well being. Even after making sure Hagu isn't injured, Akemi writes off the ruined bowl as nothing to be concerned about. I have no experience with pottery, but I can't imagine a piece like that is easy enough that dropping it is meaningless.

I am a little surprised a love triangle is hinted at so early, but watching Takemoto self-monolouge as he carries Morita is great.
