| That start, must have been a bad dream about him :p Rin's mother is... strange. Rin's mother admits she's a good for nothing. "Am I raising Rin or is she raising me?" Lawl |
| So we now know who Rin mother is. She is still a little girl. She's irresponsible and an air-head, but I think it's just her age. She doesn't have the maturity yet to take care of a child. Another cute episode. Daikichi crying, it was a cute moment when she said she would hug him next time he cry... Also I think the question at the end is important, it is surely the most rewarding experience to have a child. |

| 1. So masako just didn't have the time/energy to take care of rin 2. Masako doesn't seem as heartless as I once thought, just unfortunate that she had a kid she didn't want to raise 8/10 |

| Quite a calm episode today. And as mostly everyone has said, I really didn't like irresponsible Masako was. Also, the "Daikichi is Daikichi" moment was quite significant - though I'm a bit unsure on the true significance of it. Anyone want to share their views on it? |
| Nekomimi!! |
| There must be an even deeper reason why she left Rin. If not... wow GG The relationship between Daikichi and Rin is simply beautiful! :') At the end of every episode, you just feel so nice and warm and cant help but feel so happy for him. What is anime doing to my life??? :P |
 |
| great episode! we learn that rin's mother isn't a bad at heart, she's just too young and caught up in her career. but that really doesnt change the fact that someone, anyone, needs to slap the living shit out of her. also, who was that guy she was with? its whatever though, as long as rin stays with daikichi, I'm happy. |
 |
| Masako is pretty bad as a mother but something tells me that her boyfriend is the real father and he's even shittier. :/ I love how Daikichi is so ready to become a dad and Rin's guardian. Sad how Rin doesn't view him the same way but it's understandable given her age. I wonder if how she feels about Daikichi will change over time. Hopefully their different family names won't cause too many problems. The scene after the ending made this episode even greater. |
| That maid looks like she's 16 lol. Great episode as always. |
 |
| I can't imagine as a mother she would do that to her child. How could she! |
 |
| Boy ... Masako sure is a downer. Also the little scene at the ending was so cute "I'll hold you when you cry" |
 |
| Birth control, people. |
| the meeting with the mother was better than expected. the series remain precious, and despite what i said a couple of episodes ago about forgetting what the manga ending is like, when the issue of adoption came up i was in denial. |
 |
Hoppy said: Rin's mom needs to be slapped silly. Parental abandonment is terrible especially for the mother. Yes, i agree. I personally can't understand someone having children and then leaving them behind. Well, divorce is something quite different, but I still don't get it. My friend had a 6 year old girl and she decided to give her away just few months ago. Well they haven't lived together after the baby was taken away from her (the baby was just few months old). But I still can't understand something like abandoning... |

| I'm finding it difficult to feel sympathy for Masako especially when she was getting all amped up and bitchy. I understand that if you can't care for a child then you shouldn't have had the child in the first place, she should've gotten an abortion or gave her up for adoption. |
| 臭い- |
| What a bitch mother! |

Also, the "Daikichi is Daikichi" moment was quite significant - though I'm a bit unsure on the true significance of it. Anyone want to share their views on it? I'm conflicted. I feel like Rin was a little insensitive to Daikichi in that moment. He does and sacrifices so much for her, even getting demoted in order to devote himself to being a good 'father' for her. Yet she simply views him as a 'nice man named Daikichi'. Some have said whilst the grandad is irreplaceable she still cares about Daikichi but I can't help but have a bad taste in my mouth after she dismisses him without a care. |
| I wonder if Rin will treat Daikichi the same way if she becomes teen ager. Last scene is heart warming! 3.4/5 |
 |
| If that lady is really her mother, I must ask why she even had an affair with a really old man. Also, I like how Daikichi mentions that he might possibly been "raised up" by Rin. Well Rin is quite mature for a child. |
| Dam the mom is pretty wierd. So emotional this episode with the becoming real daddy talk. Lol I think they're raising each other. |
| Rin's mother is really weird, she chose her job over her kid. |
 |
| This is why kids should not have kids.... anyway,what 6 years olds would want to cook? |
| Daikichi is Daikichi Rin is so cute and simple when she talks but her mother is so crule and careless. And Rin graduate from the daycare and going to school. Anyway I don't think that she is Grandpa daughter I think he just told them that for a specific reason. |
| That last scene... It's oficial, this series is really something special. Cutest thing I've ever seen in any anime. |
| The mother seemed like she worried about Rin though. Welp, she has her reasons. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| awesome episode! so we get to see who rin's mom is, and she's a big airhead...true artist, baning a 60 yr old...lol Rin's getting cuter and cuter...this is soothing my heart 5/5 |

Another beautiful and heartwarming episode. When crying Rin chose to hug her "bunny" stuffed animal instead of sleeping beside Daikichi. Lmfao. Wow! Rin's mother is such a bitch. I have no other words to describe her. She better not take Rin from Daikichi whenever she feels like it, I'm gonna cut her. Apparently, she's a mangaka and she thinks Rin is a hindrance to her. Ffs. I wonder if Souichi-san is really Rin's dad or that guy living with Masako is Rin's dad. Daikichi asked Rin if she'll be fine making him her official dad and changing her last name to Kawachi Rin from Kaga Rin, and she said no and "You're fine just as Daikichi". Idk if I'm gonna be happy with that answer of hers, but Daikichi cried, so I guess it's fine with him. Hehehe. Daikichi: "I'll hold you no matter how old you get." Rin: *cries* Me: My fucking heart! Rin: "I'll hold you the next time you cry!" Me: *dies* |

| Eh, can't get myself to hate Rin's mom, I will wait to hear her reasons. |
 |
| Not a fan of Masako, but how about that hugging scene just about died from the moe-grenade Rin set off with that little dialogue with Daikichi, that little angel is pure kawaii! |
 |
| Man, the post credit scene was perfect. They did an incredibly heartwarming scene in so little time... I bet there is more to Masako's story other than "Rin interfered with my job". It seems she was hiding something. |
 |
| Another episode I really liked :3 |
| I love Rin, she is precious. |
| Overall I would give this episode a 4/5. I liked the comedy the most between Rin's mother and the main character, and my it was almost a tear jerker. |
| What I want to say going into episode.. That this anime is easy to watch so far, which is nice.. ;p Though, it'll also will give me a heart attack, I feel.. ;p Both Daikichi and Masako recognized Rin and her father in each other, lol.. ;P It seems that Daikichi is quite annoyed by Masako?.. It seems that he thinks that she isn't too serious with things related to Rin, I guess?.. But is she really not serious enough?.. She says things that are quite understandable.. Maybe she isn't really emotional, but it looks like she's trying to hold back, to me.. I don't really like how Daikichi pressures Masako in their talk.. And what for, really?.. Does he expect her to apologize, to become better, or what?.. Testing her?.. Well, it could be this.. Or maybe he's just upset with how things turned out, and now just pressuring her.. I liked his questions about feelings, though.. What Rin means to Masako right now.. But really discussing about the possibilities back then - is it really fruitful?.. It was in the past, why really push something that in the past wasn't done?.. It's easy to judge from the side.. Also, I guess, it's just common in many varieties of cultures, including mine, to just say about what could have been done, when the situation now isn't about this at all.. I do this all the time myself, really.. I'm glad to hear that Daikichi said: "I can't give her away to someone!" Nod-nod, really good words.. ;p Though.. Yeah.. I encountered in my life such thing as returning parent.. Not in my life, but seeing in others' lives.. When the child has been living for some time with adopted parent.. And yeah.. In reality even law courts happen and stuff, and of course with law courts decisions someone is ending up being hurt.. Yeah.. Our world is like that sometimes.. Pretty shit.. Well, Daikichi still can adopt her without changing her last name, no?.. I mean, it'd help if some stuff like law courts would happen to come, you know.. Daikichi adopting Rin with the permission of Masako would be quite nice, actually.. But well, it still doesn't prevent from shit happening in courts, even this thing would necessary be enough.. Hm.. Yeah, a good question, who is raising who.. ;p And, I guess, the answer would be that with age, really, they both will exchange knowledge, experience, views, feelings, everything.. Be open to being raised by Rin as well, Daikichi.. ;p |
| I still cannot quite wrap my head around the relationship that Rin's mother must have had with Daikichi's grandfather. Was she is sometimes lover, did she fuck him just out of boredom and Rin was an accident. It looks like it. I really love this show for its sweet little moments. Daikichi and Rin cooking together, having a bath and brushing their teeth. This shouldn't be interesting at all but those moments just warm my heart because they are the normal little moments that no one thinks of but which are precious on their own. |

Cirris said: Seriously, the whole things about about the surname change made me want to yell out a spoiler in a crowded theatre. MAJOR SPOILER... Damn this show is just tugging at the heartstrings. The scenes after Daikichi's day trip to meet the mother were full of all sorts of win. Masako seems like a crackhead or something. I don't loathe her. I just get the feeling she flipped out when she became pregnant. It's obvious that her spacey personality coupled with with some obsessive compulsive characteristics leads me to believe she's got mental issues and Daikichi is right in his decisions to keep Rin. F***ing josei , never fails at making everything nice weird and uncomfortable. Not like it's an unrealistic scenario , but seeing this after similar situation happening in makes me like josei less. |

| I hate everyone equally |
| Rin's mother is useless indeed. Lmao Rin is raising everyone, not just you Daikichi |
 |
| when a six-year old has more common sense than all the adults. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| good episode, i never really did like masako. shes unbearable honestly. daycare graduation, so cute, the little song. excited to see things go on from here |
| This is good shit. Rin is adorable as always. I don't care about her mother. |
| Ion think the mother is matured enough to be a parent |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| That's quite the irresponsible mother. I hope one day she realises this mistake. |
