I haven't watched the episode yet (no subs so far) but I don't wanna make a new topic to ask that quick question:
Does anybody know how many episodes that will have? Season one had 12, Season two 13, Season three had 12 so...this is gonna have 13 again? XD
Also, maybe somebody who is good at appraising stuff like that can aswer that:
How high are the chances for a fifth season (maybe next year or sometime later) after some OVAs (because there ALWAYS have been OVAs after a season)? An opinion would be appreciated!

Where did you hear this?

Every episode of Honeycomb feels like it's part of a final season. Each one is focused on the cast reminiscing on their past, looking towards their future, and tying up loose ends (like Natsume in this episode). So I fear it may be ending, but at least it's going out on a high note. Honeycomb is easily the best season of Hidamari Sketch, in my opinion.

There will probably still be some OVA specials though.

Some Japanese magazine when Hidamari x SP was getting annouced. I forgot which and I'm just recalling it right now.

That means there should be 12 more eps. Since Sasami airs on Jan 11, next episode is certainly the last one, and from the preview, it seems that Sea and Hiro won't graduate this season (Not too sure about the specials though).

So, season 5 please.

So...just that I am not confused (I am not a native english speaker so I'm not sure if I got that right):
They planned 24 episodes for Honeycomb but cancelled it because of another show that will air soon.
But because they have material for 12 more episodes you guys think that a fifth season is still possible?

I think it's generally a rather weak Hidamari season but this episode was great, the best one yet.

I'm still enjoying the series of course and it should never ever stop.

I haven't read the manga so i don't know if they decided to skip some part in the manga or somehow compress them into the 12 eps format and how much material available to animate. I feared that Shaft might pull off an anime ending with all the graduation build up but i was wrong.

Also since the manga hasn't ended and stalker prediction for this season is quite good, i assume that we might see another season. I'm not betting on next year though, beside Sasami, Shaft will be quite busy with other projects like Madoka movie, -monogatari, possibly Prism Nana and maybe a sequel (denpa s2).

Okay, as long that there's hope for a 5th season, I'll wait :-D

Ah, to return to the topic...I've now watched the episode and it was awesome like always!
The atmosphere is just perfect IMO.
But it would have been better next week because this would be closer to christamas...but still, very nice episode.

Interesting dynamic there between Hiro, Sae and Natsume. Hiro apparently trusts Sae enough to tease her about it.

Or, maybe, I've just misunderstood the relationship between Hiro and Sae.

I was think along those same lines. I think Hiro and Sae have a solid relationship, but it hasn't really been nailed down in the series.

No. What was going to happen was that it was going to run for 24 episodes, but 12 of those were to be repeats of the previous seasons, sort of like what they did for Haruhi season 2.

I always love it whenever the supporting characters gets more involved(Chika, Arisa and Natsume especially)

Feels like Natsume should have been involved a bit more previously, because I think her personality is really adorable

You owed Natsume at least this much Aoki Ume, after all the sh*t you have put her through.

Seeing her likes this...

...warmed my heart. 5/5.

Finally, Sae find out that Natsume is her most beloved fan! The second part was great!
This first part was good too, my jaw literally drop when I saw the man with child :D Too bad he wasn't real deal, that would be really great twist so far into the game :))

Oh, hey, they're reaching back to vol. 5, now, huh?

Ooh, a non-disclosure agreement...

Awww! Not just little Yoshinoya, but classmates, too!

I wonder if Miyako is already an aunt...

Miyako, I really doubt your sandwiches are that much like the ones in Sandwich, Dover, Kent, England.

It really is nice to see Natsume in pleasant mode. So cute!

Yeah, well... the anime already improves on the manga in that regard. At least Natsume was able to get in on the baa-be-kyuu they had.

Sae found out that Natsume is her biggest fan. That was so sweet moment.

I also loved to see Yoshinoya's home.
