| Oh god those headphones |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Really enjoyed this episode especially the first half. I can barely watch Newsreporter fails without feeling uncomfortable for some reason so idea me sitting there having her to go up to that guy LOL |

| That last scene felt really sad :/ kinda killed my happy mood after the headphone scene. |
| LMFAO Her mother hearing the voice over with the voice actor. Oh god that was the most hilarious thing this episode. |

DonCanas said: That last scene felt really sad :/ kinda killed my happy mood after the headphone scene. Yeah, the last scene was kind of sad... but when Tomoki saw the home video hahaha! The episode was full of cringeworthy moments, I had to stop 2 times or three before continuing lol. |
 |
| Man, they just show how I spent my summer vacation. I lol when she ask the VA to said all of those lines instead of choosing one of those. Her brother reaction to the video when they were kids was funny too. People sure change when they grown up. I don't think I need to say anything about the headphone scene since others have said enough about that. |
 |
| Just when I think Tomoko can't sink any lower, she proves me wrong again by going even further. This episode had too many good moments. Even the first five minutes where basically nothing happened had me snickering like an idiot. Best parts: - Tomoko threatening to pee on her brother's carpet (and pretty much doing so initially). She had to bribe him with ice cream to have him watch her light off fireworks (and perhaps to make up to him). - The reaction of the girls behind her when she asks the VA to say that incredibly perverted bit and him actually saying that line (surprised she actually managed to ask him and that he didn't mind saying it at all) - Tomoko masturbating to that line, only to be caught by her mother (I know how that feels) - The childhood marriage video. Tomoki has probably tried to get that out of his head for years. I wonder if he secretly cares more for his sister than he lets on, but is merely grossed out by her erratic behavior. Her parents seem to take her behavior quite well. Both her father and her mother have caught her during extremely embarrassing times, yet they respond as if they didn't even see or hear it. Either they're used to it, or they don't really care much about it, probably writing it off as typical teenage behavior. |

| Oh Tomoko..funny episode as always and her being embarrassed I just cant~ |
| I remember that seiyuu voice recording thing Tomoko attended. Good to see that make it here to the adaptation. That scene with her mother... priceless. That's why one should never use headphones and keep the speaker on at the same time (apart from checking where the headphone is plugged in). A page in Tomoki's own black history has been opened, lol. |
Sury said: The first part reminded my of my last holiday, which makes me kinda sad. Makes you actually miss those days once you enter the workforce. I chuckle every now and then, Tomoko is funny. In the weird way ;) |
| LOL when her mother has entered into the room ahahahaha |
 |
| This episode... It's funny, but really painful at the same time to see how Tomoko uses up during her summer time. Anyway funny how Tomoko's mother came in hearing all those sound from her headphones XD. Huh the video that she saw when they were little, never knew they were happy together. |
| I can't even express my love for this anime. I laughed so HARD. Made me a bit depressed though, when I realized that my summer break consists of pretty much the same what Tomoko was doing... Yeah, the VA was a real pro. And I really like Tomoko's parents, both of them have seen her in such strange situations, but acted lilke everything was fine. Not everyone can handle that. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Even though Tomoki didn't light the fireworks and just watched from the window Tomoko seemed happy at the end which was nice. |

| This was actually the best episode so far. I was pleasantly surprised, and glad I didn't drop this after the really disappointing start. |
| I knew that feels, Tomoko.. I knew that very well, when you at the first day of holiday Aw poor cicada :( So, her brother still goes to school at summer break? Must be a stupid student xD Wow, 20XX when is it Gettodaze!! xD Lol, poor little bro.. Look at those fangirls :D Hello old ED!! Tips for the day : Never put something in a wrong hole xD Sakonke5 said:  Lol lib bro so siscon Mikenzb said:  MyTube... The anime version of YouTube.... They so look alike....

| That scene when her mum came and her headphones were unplugged was simply brilliant. |
Is it just me or does tomoko's brother have siscon feelings for her, eeeewwww? |
| Moccochi and her mom both seem traumatized. To everyone that thinks there is some incest thing going on your minds are a bit warped if you think little children saying they want to marry someone is incest. Little kids don't understand different types of love so that's normal for them to say that sort of thing. Whoever they love most they will say they want to marry them but its not really sexual and not really romantic intent. If it does serve any purpose aside from showing there was a good bro and sis relationship in the past it might show more of why Tomoki acts colder to his sis. Its he used to look up to her so much and his hopes got let down that she didn't become what he wanted and didnt show as much affection to him. Of course even that could be overanalyzing things. |
| I think I would have appreciated this episode more in the beginning of summer. Now it just reminds me that I have less than a week before school starts. |

| Mothers entering the room always at the wrong time D: |
 |
| Tomoki after seeing that childhood video - awesome! xD I really enjoyed this anime for the first time |
| Oh, also I forgot to ask, but does anyone know what all the animes she was watching were? I didn't know the first one, I'm pretty sure the second one is Detective Conan (even though I don't really know anything about that anime at all so the joke was still lost on me) and I think the last one might've been Doraemon(sp?)...? Although that's just based on things I heard because of the Dangan Ronpa translated let's play regarding Monobear's va. |
| Far too much awkwardness for me. I feel sorry for Tomoko's brother and her family... And the ending, that was brilliant! |
| Oh man, the embarrassing moments. That handshake event, those childhood videos and the 'forgetting to plug in the headphones' too. I love how her mother just stood there in total silence and Tomoko even let it play. xD |
 |
| i feel sad or her and you're her brother you should hang out with her a little you're the one who wanted to marry her! |
 |
| You know.. I thought I was seeing things until I went back and watched Episode 6 and sure enough, I wasnt.. There's some subtle differences in the opening in Ep. 7. They layered in some images of Tomoko singing/mouthing along to the lyrics throughout the opening video. |

| Best episode so far. I wanted to kill myself the entire headphones + mom scene. |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| Some good parts here and there, but didn't find it as good as the last 2-3 episodes. |
| I haven't laughed out loud to an anime in a very long time. The scene with her mom and the unplugged headphones really got me |

makoa69 said: Urrgh, this anime is really annoying. I hate people like Tomoko; they're introverted, and they enjoy living an introverted life (Tomoko loves just spending her summer in her room playing games), yet they're unsatisfied and want to live like an extrovert, despite them being extremely uncomfortable doing simple extroverted things, particularly small talk. Just make some online friends, have one or two close friends in real life, and be happy with that. Stop trying to be somebody you're not. ^This. I always thought that if she couldn't talk to anyone irl, then she could at least make online friends. Except that after being an introvert for so long and actually never having the skills to talk to people. It's difficult to break out of that shell. So I see where she comes from. Not to mention the embarrassment you feel from watching her. This anime either makes me feel good about myself or I can relate to it at times. |
| You may read this quote , "However, by that point you'll have been torn to pieces." |
| she's such a cute girl back then, has more facial expression, just why with the change? she has the most awkward moment, the unplugged headphone one is the most fail moment, poor girl XD |
| lmao |

The last one are kiteretsu daihyakka.The color of korosuke is changed so it looks like Doraemon. Both are written by the same manga Cartoonist Oh ok, thank you! |
| Haha now her mom had to walk into something weird, this anime never ceases to amaze me. |
| If strength is justice, then is powerlessness a crime? |
lksgman said: I hate the incest memory of the show. A lot of kids say that they will marry their parents or siblings. Children don't understand it at that age. |
unameesan said: she's such a cute girl back then, has more facial expression, just why with the change? Besides the fact that I'm a boy, the same thing happened to me as I grew up. Anyways, good episode as usual. The first half of this episode pretty much shows what I do on my breaks from school which made me laugh though i have one friend that comes over. The second half was hilarious when her mom walked in and when that guy actually said everything Tomoko requested. I feel so bad for Tomoki though for having to deal with her. |

Having social anxiety doesn't make her introverted. It's not like she prefers to be alone. If she did she wouldn't have fantasies about becoming popular. It's much more likely that she is an extrovert. |

Having social anxiety doesn't make her introverted. Yes, it does. She's secluded, not talkative and lives a largely solitary life. That makes her a typical introvert. It's not like she prefers to be alone. If she did she wouldn't have fantasies about becoming popular. That's irrelevant. Fantasies do not determine whether you're one or the other. Both sides can have fantasies and dreams of becoming (more) popular. Only your social behavior gives away what side you belong to. It's much more likely that she is an extrovert. Yuu-chan is an extrovert. She's energetic, talkative and assertive – basically everything Tomoko is not. |

unameesan said: she's such a cute girl back then, has more facial expression, just why with the change? The answer I think is very similar to a monologue from Kasukabe-san from Genshiken "The tragedy of it is that it is not something you strive to become, one day you wake up and you are one" i.e. If you look closely the only real difference between Tomoko and Rikka Takanashi is that the later has friends (and love interests), I would even dare to say Tomoko is more normal than Rikka (since she has no big trauma from the past). AO968 said: Yes, it does. She's secluded, not talkative and lives a largely solitary life. That makes her a typical introvert. Yuu-chan is an extrovert. She's energetic, talkative and assertive – basically everything Tomoko is not. This is a very common mistake. Being an introvert has NOTHING to do with being a social shut-in and being an extrovert has NOTHING to do with a jock that talks like a radio host. An introvert is someone that does not let other people get to know the real him/her, no matter what approach is used. So an introvert can go to parties, movies, be part of an athletic team and be very popular, but no one knows the real him/her because he/she never talks about his likes and dislikes, he just goes with the flow and avoids confrontation with witty remarks or jokes. On the other side of the spectre an extrovert can be a shut-it like tomoko who tells her brother ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in her mind (to her brothers chagrin), the only reason she does not tell somebody else is because she lack the skill to start a conversation with someone she does not already know. |

| Come to think of it, it seems that I can't accurately type Tomoko's personality... An INTP maybe? Like most of the internet? Her brother Tomoki though, he's probably an ISTP. Like one of those lone-wanderer hero from cowboy/samurai shows. |
 |
| The scene with Tomoko and Tomoki is even more hilarious after watching the final episodes of OreImo. |
