So far the most awkward episode to watch. Still enjoyable nonetheless.

Also recognized the card she cheated in.





Edit: Doesn't seem to be working...

My enjoyment of this show dropped exponentially. The latter half I was wondering why I was still watching.
-Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place?

-Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

had that slap coming.


Indeed, I would not have slapped my daughter under those same circumstances.

Another very famous slap in anime is in the 1991 feature-length anime film
Only Yesterday ( おもひでぽろぽろ / Omoide Poro Poro ). The father slapped
his ten-year-old daughter because she walked out the front door without first
putting her shoes on. In addition, the story presented the father and his
disciplinary behavior in a positive light. However, the law in many countries
nowadays says that this is child abuse or criminal assault. So that scene was
TOTALLY unacceptable for western audiences.

The director (Isao Takahata) would not agree to any of the content being cut
out for overseas versions. As a result, Only Yesterday has never been dubbed.
It is truly a shame since it is a hauntingly beautiful film. For me, it is the most
compelling depiction of life of anything that Studio Ghibli has done. Yet Only
Yesterday remains the only Ghibli movie not to have been released for home
video in the US and Canada. I should add that just now I cannot find a
primary source to back up my recollections of this situation, so please don't
cite me. In addition it should be mentioned there was some other highly-
controversial material in the story, such as the fact that ten-year-old girls
start to get their monthly periods.

You can find that same scene described in words (and a still photo) here:

The most common was the 90-degree bow. To be honest, her bowing
style is kinda scary. It reminds me of Sadako (The Ring) crawling out
from the television.


Tomoko's bow of apology in the anime was very, very different from her bow
of apology in the manga, which you can see clearly here:

http://mangafox.me/manga/watashi_ga_motenai_no_wa_dou_kangaete_mo_omaera_ga_warui/v02/c015/13.html

The style of Tomoko's bow in the manga is quite similar to bows of apology
that I have seen before in anime, such as Kannagi. But her posture during her
apology as shown in the anime was not familiar to me.

Based on Googling, and not on any knowledge of Japan, it appears that what
Tomoko was doing was a kind of bow called "zarei" (座礼) and here is a step-
by-step illustration of the proper way to do it:
http://www.sushi-guide-morita.de/htdocs_jp/verbeugung_jp.html

If you search on Google Images for 座礼 you can see lots of pictures.

There were so many embarrassing moments in this episode that I was facepalming all the time. I mean seriously, Tomoko is always overdoing it.
Now Kii-chan is pitying her -_-

Stop watching it then......if it isnt funny to you why do you watch a comedy show?

Oh man. Kii confronting the guy was so hard to watch!

In the end Kii learned the truth about Tomoko too. Yandere Kii-chan is pretty scary and she just about lost all respect for Tomoko. I kinda feel bad for her, but she totally deserved it for all those lies of hers. Even cheating at a kids game isn't too much for her. :/

I am conflicted, Tomoko's attempt at coolness backfired so hard it was painful to watch, but this made her cousin awaken the goodness in her heart, from now on no doubt the little birds will flock to her hands, woodland creatures look for her caress and violent animales will become docile in her presence. I am looking forward to the next time they meet, maybe kii-chan wil drag with chains a boy to let Tomoko believe there is a member of the opposite sex interested in her >_<

Anyway, Kii-chan is so cute, but Tomoko just had to go pathetic-mode and kind of change Kii-chan's personality now.

man this episode was kind of funny but it also gave me SO MUCH second hand embarrassment.
it was really nice seeing umbrella boy again, i was secretly hoping he'd become a recurring character but yenno it's watamote of course that wouldn't happen.
anyways, i totally sympathize with kii-chan here. she went from admiring to looking down to pitying tomoko. just like me!
okay episode, 4/5

Usually I think its funny when Tomoko gets into unfortunate messes because of her own misconceptions or misunderstandings.

But she really dug herself into a hole for this one by involving her cousin and a random person.

Please enlighten yourself with Magic the Gathering.

The only difference is that the average age for MTG players is much much higher.

I would have laughed so hard if she was cheating a JTMS out.

OMG the thing she did with the hoover... I almost died of laughing but at the same time, it was soo freaking painful to watch. Same with the card game with the children. She's just so miserable I want to hug her.
I love this show and at the beginning, I thought it was a shame there were only 12 episodes, but now I don't think I could handle any more.
