Good episode. It looks like its kinda following the manga a little bit actually. Anyway, Satou + being a waiter = Shizzy-chan! :D *wishes he would sneak in a Izaya to Souma, both are in the wonderful Durrarra!* The little sister is cute! Next week, its all about Takanashi's Sisters! Should be fun. --- Randy

Hey I wounder if they ever considered giving guys masks, or a girl mask, and see if it works on Inami, it'd be funny to see the reaction. Any way fun ep.

Pretty hilarious episode, although I like the last one a little more. I can't believe Inami is still working there lol...shows how useless the manager is.

Nice take on being understaffed, but I really would like the series to progress past Inami's phobia.

I was fangirling all these parts ! xD

I think i enjoyed this episode . ohohoho !
There's more of Souma and Satou scene !
And for once , Yachiyo isn't there to piss Satou on with her misunderstandings.
There's less punching from Inami too, so it didn't ruin the ep.
Takanashi's moments are funny, even when he didn't appear much in this ep .

Overall, loved it !
I think i'm gonna love the next episode more. haha ~

Another nice episode. All of the character's are so fun to watch.

And the ending theme song has really grown on me. I can't bring myself to skip it like I do with most other shows lol

No, I refuse to let that happen >.<

Anyway, the episode was great as usual with Inami being centered on half of the episode. Next week should be interesting.

A bit too much Inami in this episode. Enough with her, she's the worst character in the show.


All the other characters beside Inami are great.

But next episode should be awesome.

Judging by the title I would have though this episode would have been about Takanashi taking care of his sister.

I'm warming up to this series. The jokes are more varied (if still re-used every episode) and the characters have a bit more depth to them. I'm still not fond of Inami - as far as I'm concerned, she's useless as an employee and annoying as a character =/ The other characters are fun to watch, however, so Inami is their only weak point.

I understand that a lot of people find Inami boring and/or annoying (I do too, at times), but then again, most characters are still fairly one-trick at this point in the series. It's episode 5; character development doesn't often happen this soon, at least in comedy series.

Too much Inami, not enough Satou or Souma. But...they got to wait, and Satou kicked Souma in the ass, so I'll let it slide.

Most people don't find this type of character all that funny. I like Sakura, but when all she was doing was punch Naruto, it's just grates the nerves. Maybe the Japanese love it. I don't know. I hate it.

I wouldnt expect too much character development if any by any of the characters, seeing as this is based on a 4-koma. I suspect it will continue to rehash jokes for the rest of the series (i dont see this going past 13 episodes) about each of the characters "quirks" (I guess this is the word im looking for).

Its worked well so far Im enjoying every minute. Im hoping someone makes a gif of Poplar-zilla.

This has gotten really stale, it's the same jokes over and over again in the same exact setting. The sister background looks entertaining but other than that it's been getting progressively less entertaining.

You know me so well, Siva. :3

As for Sakura, I do like her. I just hate that since defeating Sasori, she has done nothing of help until this last episode, being in charge of all the sick people. I was surprised to see that her presence/talent was that well acknowledged for her age. At the end of the day, when I look around at all the characters in Naruto's age group, she's in the top 5 of most capable of becoming Hokage. If only she were used/written better.

I was expecting for some "real" developement between Inami and Takanashi, but in the end, nothing came -.- (I was imagining something like Takanashi enters, Inami gets happy and starts hitting him to release all her hitting "urge" and telling afterwards that she really needs him xD )
Next ep looks not that interesting, but lets see, if the sisters can enjoy.

This would be the case if this anime was romance but it isnt. I expected something along those lines too.

"Someone stop this chain reaction" i lold pretty hard at that.
Im surprised they are keeping the running gag of inami changing her hairpin everyday. It does give her an extra layer of depth. The whole episode was just awesome. Godzilla-poplar got me rolling on the floor too.

...I'm actually pretty curious as to how good Inami's cooking was. I'm sure it wasn't too hard since its a diner-style food.

That's one formula. There's also Satou + waiter uniform (sky-blue colored) + a black tux + a 180 degree personality change in which he likes to serve (particularly women) = X (hey this equation should be a no-brainer for fans)

I mean why not? He got the "attack Souma through his kicks" part down perfectly.

Seriously that Souma guy is one shrewd bastard! Why didn't anyone else think of talking to Inami through the phone sooner?! I mean she can't make creampuffs out of guys she can't see!

Speaking of which, does anyone else feel Inami should be in some sort of fighting game? If she was, then she would be the first female fighting game character I can think of that actually uses upper-body strength.

I actually really liked this episode what with the Poplar teasing and her being giant. I actually noticed Inami changing her hair pins awhile ago -shrugs- though it is nice to see some changes. Satou getting angry is always funny to see too xD. Well the next episode looks interesting since it'll be on Takanashi's sisters which should be a nice change of pace.

"Have you grown taller?"
"Really!? : D"
"No, I lied."
That, and Inami's spontaneous punches. (And yes, I still do actually like Inami, unlike many others here)
The rest was pretty meh.
Oh actually, there's more. Takanashi's little sister as well~ (Oh and let's not forget Takanashi himself Takanashi's seiyuu)

A pretty nice episode. That phone call idea was actually pretty effective. Worked well for Souma since he could get a feel for Inami's personality since he wasn't just immediately knocked out. He actually clarified about Satou not really being upset with Inami at the end. There was a bit of development for Inami in relation to the staff. Sure she still hasn't broken down her phobia, but she's made a few steps. Did avoid hitting Takanashi at the end of the episode and they had a pretty nice conversation.

I do like Inami's character. Sure the punches aren't something you cheer for, but at least there are solid reasons unlike some characters who do that. Actual regret about not being able to fully get past her phobia. A nice person who is lucky to have that job since it lets her try to struggle against her problem.

Not sure about the next episode. Really didn't get that interested in the Takanashi sisters. Guess we'll see how it turns out.

The show really revolves around Inami most of the time; hoped for a more interesting ending there. It really shows that Takanashi controls Inami really well.

BTW: How were they cooking the food if all the kitchen staff went onto the floor? Is there ghost workers that have never been introduced?

IIRC the first episode showed there were kitchen staff other than Satou and Souma, but they weren't introduced.

On that subject, there's a waitress with black hair and glasses that occasionally pops up in scenes, and she's even in the opening credits - I wish they'd introduce her!
