| Hrm, there were parts of the episode that seemed kind of confusing imo. The way that something would happen and then something else would happen. I dunno, maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention to the whole thing. Poor Minko though, Tohru seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Ohana this episode and ended up ignoring her. o n o Whelp, looks like Ohana's mom's back in the next episode, looking forward to it. :U |
 |
| Really loved the ep! Lots of TooruxOhana in it. =D Orulyon said: And Ohana... she doesnt show any interest in him, damn T_T I would rather say she doesnt show any interest in anyone lol. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she can't rely on anyone (yet). I think even if she had feelings, and she knew about it, she would rather hold back because of Minko. =/ As for Minko, I like her more after this episode... I really despised her before lol.Can't stand most tsundere girls. |
Cirris said: That's rather interesting but it can be taken as her mind being hazy from her illness. It was seen few times that she was completely out of reality and more like numb. This is a indication that she may not be able to function properly once sick even if she pushes herself she will end in collapsing.I think Ohana was a bit short sighted when she mistook the comments that were made to keep her in bed and as a sign that "they didn't need her." I do think her mindset was understandable because her whole life was spent around a mother who lived life just to screw with others. "cut them down" seemed to be her favourite phrase. Cirris said: I really teared up when Nakochi read the phone msg and looked at a crying Ohana. Ohana had recently called her an "onee-chan" earlier. You could see Nako embraced it and really wants Ohana around when she went into her speech about how much Ohana was needed and wanted there. I don't know about me but most of the episode did not affect me emotionally but I did find it emotionally charged. To me Minko developing with Ohana was a nice step. Cirris said: It was also touching to see Tomoe and Grams checking in on the girls. It was like watching mother hens watching over their chicks. It was made even funnier when they gave the two guys the evil eye and scared them right back where they came from. Tomoe looked like she was gonna punch the pervert writer guy. Cirris said: I am not too fond of this whole dream thing and all. it did not fit too much and I don't want something of Yumekui Merry type or any daydream stuff but there is something that is worth to point. Who the heck is that fox and girl in the spoilerIt did seem dreary when the Ko-chan in her dream started slowly fading away. It was like she was mentally saying goodbye to him. That this meant the true end of her past life and any notion of being reunited with Ko again. I'm not gonna lie; when the tears streamed down Ohana's cheeks at that moment, they did on mine as well. Cirris said: You are right about that, if you look at the spoilerP.S. I'm not thrilled with the possible couplings being developed in this episode. Ko-chan and Ohana seem to be a much better fit to me than Tohru. Also, Minko really loves Tohru and the fact he's gushing over Ohana is hurtful to her and could really strain an already tenuous friendship between Ohana and Minko. Cirris said: My take on the preview is simple,About preview, Ohana will get angry with someone and it shall be interesting to see why or for what motive. Indeed the mom is back and I find it adorable what she does to Ohana in the spoiler |

| I really do like Ohana's character, instead of giving up or being a brat and barely working, she really gives her all. Loved the scene at the end with Minko and Nako cheering Ohana up. Also, loved the part where Tohru brought food to her. It really does look like he has a crush on her...but I doubt Ohana really sees much in him, not until her and Kou have a fight or something, maybe. I've also got to mention the OST, it's so gentle but really adds a lot to the scenes. I can't wait for it to be released. |
tsubasalover said: And it seems like the guy likes Ohana instead of Minko, or he's just cares about her like other people. It doesn't seem like it. Why? Because he does like her; or he's just cares about her lips, just like other people yea? ( ´・‿-) Yukari_Hiwada said: Damn, Minchi noticed She already did so, lyk, 2 eps ago. Still, a beary nice discovery nonetheless. As for.... Preview hints Kou-chan, we have a chance Kou-chan/Ohana shippers NO. Why? For the simple fact that Ohana does not blush and get horny about him like 80% shojo heroines who catch the 1st glimpse of the 1st guy they met... YET. Unless dear Tohru's gonna save poor Ohana from whatever crisis she's gonna face next ep but I digress... One thing for sure now is that they're gonna milk this love geometry for as long as they can, just as I fear... Because apparently the so-called "slice-of-life" they currently have just won't cut it and the most evident proof is this very same thread; therefore, the most effective way to is to include bits of romance here and there in every ep to keep the watchers pumped. Cool method indeed ~ Anyway, the only interesting thing I found in this otherwise average ep is that little girl with the fox. I assume it to be an allusion to something and I'd certainly like to see an explanation later down the road, or maybe right now if somebody knowledgeable about japanese culture can enlighten me up? |

BitchMaster said: So now because Tooru is the way of the 80% hints more than anything the Ohana x Tooru? It does make sense with the fading Kou in the dream as foreshadow but is it? Preview hints Kou-chan, we have a chance Kou-chan/Ohana shippers NO. Why? For the simple fact that Ohana does not blush and get horny about him like 80% shojo heroines who catch the 1st glimpse of the 1st guy they met... YET.

The girl and the fox are references to the story Nakochi told at the hillside shrine. Ohana really took a liking to it and daydreamed a sequences where the lights lit up a path along the countryside and into the sky. I think the dream sequence is a look into Ohana's mind and is representation of her thoughts. I think the Fox and the girl are representations of Kissieo and the upcoming festival. the girl might have some deeper meaning but i can't see it yet. I don't see a problem with dream sequences. I do think it was well done and not too out of place. Yumekichi11 said: Cirris said: You are right about that, if you look at the spoilerP.S.

You sorta feel bad for her. But the truth is she has been too afraid to reveal her feelings and it may end up costing her a chance. It's too late now cause any attempt in the face of his crushing on Ohana might be wasted and make things more awkward.

| Some very nice Ohana and Nakochi Onee-sama moments. |

I do think it was well done and not too out of place. ByeByeMrMoon said: Best comment! Fox girl is a dream demon!Fox girl is going to eat your dreams when you're asleep. Mark my words. |
| wired episode i might say, this sudden cuts confused me sooo tohru feelings are kinda confirmed... but lets be honest, who could resit the lips of a woman? ^^ AND little creepy fox girl is creepy... |
| OFICIAL Tohru's got the hots for Ohana!!!! lol i feel bad for Kou but who knows the next ep looks lke something about Ko is taking place so maybe its not too late for them |
 |
| This episode was too slow paced for my liking. Probably the weakest episode thus far, imo. |
    |
| Lol. "fan service" with madam manager and the portion between her socks and skirt. xD Aww, Nakochi is such a cute friend, just so caring and sweet. ^^ But why do they have to make Tohru's crush so obvious, that I almost feel more supportive of OhanaXTohru in this episode than OhanaXKou. D: |

I like Tooru (Kou is right after him :3 ) but I just can't accept Tooru x Ohana for some reason.. probably because Kou is much more suitable for her.. Next episode looks like ohana went back to tokyo? Or something like that. Probably have Ko-chan in it :) |
| Great drama, great development, great episode. |

Antanaru said: Ugh, I know. Gotta watch out for them fevers. And they call a doctor on top of it, of course. Down for a day and better check in with the physicians because you might not make it!At first I thought I misheard something but feverish Ohana spouts even more nonsense than usual. Oh, those Japanese fevers. Close to 38 degrees and you're already hallucinating and almost dying. Beginning of the fever - Nako turns on the TV Middle of the fever - Nako turns on the TV Near end of the fever - Minko asks Nako why she's turning on the TV Thank you! It was bugging me so much. I don't know why, but I kept noticing how she turned on that stupid television everytime she left the room. And if I were sick, having that racket on would drive me nuts. Peace and quiet is so much better. Tohru continues going down the darkside, I see. Well, while Minko did show hints of noticing before now, she definitely noticed this episode. And Lol@her big smile when she thinks of drawing on Ohana's face. I saw that in the preview and wondered what could possibly make my serious-faced Minko smile so big. |
    |
| i hated ohana in this episode. you know you have to sit your ass down & relax when you're sick instead of making everyone else worry about you. :I & it was out of character of her to think negatively like that. but i guess she can't keep the optimism act forever.... oh well. i'm crossing my fingers next week won't be as disappointing. :[ |
 |
| i don't remember when this show started being so awful but man this episode sucked just as much as last week's. i might drop it. pity, because i was really looking forward to seeing more yuina. but i don't think i can put up with the rest of this bullshit just for her. |
 |
| I didn't think an episode focused around someone being sick could be that good. I love this show. I wonder if Ko fading away in Ohana's dream could mean anything? |
| Found the episode to be really enjoyable. Kinda funny to see Ohana dazed, tuning in and out and so forth. She really has come to love Kissuiso, her responsibilities and her "family" there. As counterproductive as it was, I admire her work ethic and her attempts at working while ill. She just needs to learn moderation, which is kinda foreign to her. I felt a little bad for her after that final dream. If there is one person that she might like it's Kou (sorry, but that Tohru thing is completely one-sided right now). Perhaps it's not romantic feelings, but she does lean on him probably more than anyone else. The preview looked interesting. Maybe we'll see that developed a bit more. And her mom just feels like trouble to me. Finally, Jiro is a selfish ass. Trying to get a sick girl to listen to your ero-novel under the guise of helping her. He's trying to give some competition to the "consultant" for being the most worthless person at the inn. |

Crii said: I wanted to say the exact same thing~♥Obvious TooruxOhana ship is obvious. <3 And I think its pretty obvious the Minko has already caught up on the fact that Tooru likes Ohana. xD And omg , Toooooru, you are such an adorable fool when in love. xD The last bit was funny. Okay so Minchi still didn't react or maybe she isn't that bad as a person? But her being all normal about Tooru's crush will not suit her character. I really like the writer dude. He is considerate in a very weird way XD Lets see what happens with Ko next episode. And why is Tooru so hot? ♥.♥ |
 |
Jacut said: Great drama, great development, great episode. Yeah I really think this episode was fantastically directed. Don't know how it could be so disappointing or hard to follow. |
 |
| This was mostly average filler with some contrived situations to make the Torou groupies squeal. Who uses his own forehead to take someones temperature? Ohana gets my props for not giving a shit about his advances. I'd like to see actual progression and some episodes developing the characters instead of yet another day waiting the guest, cleaning, cooking and praising hard work. Also, ditch the boys already and stop delaying the unavoidable yuri! ;) |
| Good ep. Tohru has likely to have lips fetish. He better watch Denpa Onna. :D But yeah, , that scene made me smiled. :) |
| Poor Minchi :(,and those Lips! :3, that pretty muchs sums up my thoughts for todays episode. inb more crying from ohana :(. |
 |
| Tohru making his moves! getting dangerous Minko needs to make her move too! |

Close to 38 degrees and you're already hallucinating and almost dying. We're not even halfway the show and I'm already getting bored. Haha yeah Japanese Fevers, the worst possible kind. This show is going downhill imo, since I predicted this episode in its entirity last week |

I very much enjoyed it! :) Sweet to see all the members of the house coming to her room... even ecchi-man lol Linalee-Stratos said: Crii said: I wanted to say the exact same thing~♥Obvious TooruxOhana ship is obvious. <3 And I think its pretty obvious the Minko has already caught up on the fact that Tooru likes Ohana. xD And omg , Toooooru, you are such an adorable fool when in love. xD The last bit was funny.

I am shipping Ohana x Tohru forsure. |
  |
| i didnt understand the little girl with the fox in ohana's dream? |
| I hope there's no solid romance in this cause I will feel really bad for minchi I'm just fine seeing ohanaXtooru moment. |
| the whole needing lots of rest over a small fever in anime is so played out. I've never seen people so weak from real fevers as in anime. it's just starting to bother me. as predicted Tooru likes her. not much else to comment on. for all the foreshadowing and mentions of Kou, she still never replied to his confession and he still hasn't done anything to make her reply. this really isn't going anywhere. love triangle/square possible. |
 |
| Really liked this episode! It's got great character development! We finally get to see Minko admitting her fondness of Ohana :3 hehe. Also... I really like the Ohana and Tooru pair. I kinda had a feeling that he will end up liking her from the first few episodes =P hehe. I've got to give Minko props for not being a jerk after realizing that Ohana has stolen the heart of her crush. She actually went and checked up on her even though she knew. I like that about her :D mystik said: the whole needing lots of rest over a small fever in anime is so played out.

As for your comment about the "small fever". It was not a small fever from the looks of it. Some fevers can be small... but some can be very strong. I've had that kind of fever once when I was little. I was dizzy and had a huge headache. It was difficult to even get up and move because I had such a head ache. So I think it is possible for some people to get it that badly. =\ |
jigglypuff said: Pretty disappointed with this episode. Really? I think it's one of the better ones so far |
 |
| Minko>Tooru>Ohana>?<Ko Lol that novelist, such weird ideas |
| OMG!!! I can't wait til next week! It looks like there might actually be some OhanaXKo development! This ep was reallyyyyy cute though! Oh and it looks like Ohanas mum is gonna pop up next ep which is good cause I was waiting for her to appear~ I have a feeling that next weeks ep Ohana is gonna go to Tokyo cause she was in a city and it looked like she was lost plus she was calling out for Ko chan. I think shes gonna go cause of the weird dream she had of him fading away or maybe her mums appearance might be the cause? Back to this ep though I think even if it was a little boring it was needed. Ohana had to realize that she loves the Kissuio (I probably spelt that wrong XP) and that she indeed has a place there/another sort of family. I think it really showed her getting over her "I must do things alone" sorta attitude and made her realize she needs to depend on other people and that shes not replaceable. The TooruXOhana development was exciting though! Now its undeniable that he indeed does have feelings whether he, Ohana or Minchi realize it. Though Im pretty sure Minchi has atleast sensed something but I dunno if Tooru has realized his own feelings! Its a definite though that Ohana has not seen it... I mean her and Ko were friends for like what years and she never realized he loved her! Ahahaha Dense much! Finally to the couple teams/Characters~ I dont particularly ship anyone anymore... If Ohana ends up with Tooru I'll be happy but if she ends up with Ko I'll still be happy... I like them equally now! There totally different but soooo awesome so Im gonna say I'll be happy either way! Now Minchi though... I started off not really liking her... But I guess I like her better now! If she ends up with Tooru I guess I will be happy but if she doesn't I wont be heart broken... Shes a "Meh I guess shes okay" kinda character to me~ But if she keeps getting better then Yeah Im sure I'll come to like her more! I mean she did get some brownie points for not drawing on Ohana... Though I did laugh my head off when she imagined it! Ok ok I know i wrote alottttt but to wrap this up im gonna give this ep a 4/5! It was a little boring but I think the story/show needed this development and the TooruXOhana scene was soooo cute! I cannot wait til the next episode!!! :) |
Cirris said: P.S. I'm not thrilled with the possible couplings being developed in this episode. Ko-chan and Ohana seem to be a much better fit to me than Tohru. Also, Minko really loves Tohru and the fact he's gushing over Ohana is hurtful to her and could really strain an already tenuous friendship between Ohana and Minko. Have to agree for this reason. I'm usually not overly fussy about shipping and things, but I'm watching this for the friendships; so I'd rather not see things fall apart because of something like that. It's good that Ohana doesn't really seem interested in Tohru at least. |
| If any of my posts seem odd, it's probably because I'm tired. Sorry. I have sleeping issues. |
| Tohru's being an ass again. |
 |
| I hope Tohru and Ohana get together. |
 |
| I find myself really liking this episode.. it's the kind of "boring" episode i'm actually entertained with.. Okami still as awesome as ever.. Jiro spouting nonsense again only for it to actually have some sort of influence to a sick randomly mumbling Ohana after seeing Okami.. zettai ryouiki how? Tohru being a lolicon and lips fetishist.. much hyped by the shippers out there.. tch, it's because of you guys that friendship/yuri elements of the show are less being shown.. the only reason why i like that scene is because i'm a lolicon and lips fetishist myself.. the TV, turn it on, turn it off.. this is like the easter egg of the episode.. Minchi noticing Tohru's worries, almost getting back at Ohana by imagining writings on her face, but ironically ended up as the primary source of encouragement for Ohana.. Nakochi also being the other friend who encourages.. actually, the scene would've been too ordinary had it not been for the way she's also taking up Minchi's place on the chair the more powerful her words of appreciation are.. became quite funny to me instead.. and the two older women stopping the guys from causing more crap, priceless.. also, it's too bad i will never fully get what the dream sequence is for due to cultural differences between me and the show.. what kind of symbolism is it for, anyway? |
argiliumJun 6, 2011 4:34 AM
| To all MAL b*tches who worshiping Bastard Lolicon TohruXOhana. 2D girls not like you all, real girls... |
| This, is what I was afraid of. Tooru developing such feelings towards Ohana, and because of the chain of events which made it seem like Ohana was chasing after him. Minko seriously needs to start making a move now. And I really didn't appreciate that dream Ohana had. I think, it somewhat gives Ko-chan a negative image, like someone wanting to separate her from the things she love about working at this inn. |
 |
| Nako is just too awesome. I love onee-chan characters <3 Next week's episode seems like a flashback to me. It's got Ko, Ohana's mum and Tokyo. Or maybe Satsuki dragged Ohana back to Tokyo. I am now officially side-shipping Tooru/Ohana just so that I can have Ko/Nako even though I hate the Tooru/Ohana dynamic. |
