Can't believe they wasted all that food at the station though!! Can't they take it to go or something? Also, getting mistaken for a lost child was priceless. XD |
| まったく小学生は最高だぜ http://i.imgur.com/ZxEGCmV.jpg http://i.imgur.com/aLE9dbz.jpg This show makes Mondays a good day |
| why is a show like this which i only had a slight interest in before it aired so unbelievably good? seriously tingy said: My little brother is 7 and I cannot imagine him to be that desperate to be looking for someone inside a vending machine. Honestly by age 11, people should have developed enough common sense that this shouldn't happen... http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlayedForLaughs these episodes still haven't ceased to maintain the quality episode 1 set easily my AOTS |
 |
| Non Non Biyori just made my Mondays a lot better :D Lol a misunderstanding when Komari was a lost child XD. Some hot stuff coming from Komari and Natsumi eating their soup though. All the characters in here are pretty much likable now. |
symbv said: Something doesn't seem right with Hotaru's bust size.... No doubt Hotarun is related to everybodies favorite cyclops, no doubt as time goes on she start to get bigger and bigger and therefore senpai will look cuter and cuter and hotarun will start to sound like that waiter from wagnaria :) |
| Komari-chan got so bullied this episode, I hope she gets the development she needs to come out of this show with some confidence. Great episode though. |
| Renge acting cute, as usual. Renge wearing a cute swim suit, priceless. Renge is as adorable as always, that is why I love this anime~! > W< She's so adorable! xD |
| Check out my list! :O Meep! :3 |
| Another perfect and adorable episode. Especially the ending |
 |
kuuderes_shadow said: If you live in countryside and there is only local train service it is possible. You may need to change from a local train to an express train on the same line, then change to another line etc etc. It can take a few changes but one thing I truly love trains in Japan is how punctual it is - yes it runs down to the minute even for station in some remote countryside.Incidentally, do you really need to change trains that much in Japan? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| Too bad this will only be a short anime. I could watch it every week :/ |
| Another awesome episode! So I guess those honesty stores aren't that unusual in rural areas? I know of one here in my country that uses that same system. They just put a price on everything and leave it unmanned. I think they said they never had anything stolen, instead they actually had money in excess since they can't give the change to their customers :P Didn't think I'd laugh so hard when Kazu-chan covered Komari's eyes when they saw Hotarun in her swimsuit. Komari taken to the lost children section and Natsumi calling her 'Maigo-chan' was really funny. The noodle shop owner asking if they only needed one child's chair and Komari taking it to heart was like "yeah Koma-chan, I think he means you" XD! And Hotarun picking up Komari was soo cute ^^ Ren-chon's gaze made Nattsun guilty. "There's a bug flying by the light." LMAO I wonder if we'll ever hear their brother talk haha. Ahh...now I know why I find Ren-chon's face really cute. Her mouth reminds me of the infamous teardrop-mouth from Minami-ke. |

symbv said: When I was in grade school I remember a girl in 6th grade with double D's already.. So I guess its not too far fetched. Too many hormones in the city food I guess.Something doesn't seem right with Hotaru's bust size.... I love this show, my surprise fav of the season! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Such a fun episode :D Really poor Komari :*(...She suffers too much. Lol at them thinking she's lost and her reaction to Hotaru XD...Holy shit that's a 5th grader??? O_O Lol'd at their brother becoming a freak show XD Ren was adorable as usual. Natsume thinking she saw her with the spice thing was so lol XD Anyway another enjoyable ep ^^ |
 |
| show is making it impossible to not like Ren and Komari ending was great Irony of it being the teacher that got left behind and not the brother. |
 |
| Some people do mature earlier than others, it's true. Maybe Komari is just a really, really late bloomer. |

kuuurt said: DOUJINS WHEN I NEED MY YURI DOUJINS OF HOTARU Good. I wasn't the only one thinking this. Loved this episode. |
| I looked very, very closely at Hotaru's chest development in Chapter 12 of the manga and it matches the anime. It is refreshing that the anime director did not kick the fan service up a notch. Yes, it is biologically possible that a girl at that age can be so well developed. Note also that she is unusually tall for her age. One very minor difference between the anime and the manga has to do with the roadside honor system vegetable stand. In the anime, there is a locked wooden box with a small slot for coins to be inserted. In the manga, it is simply a cup! That requires quite a lot of honesty from the locals. But in fact the cup makes some sense since it permits people to make change. What if you only have a 500 yen coin, for example? Or what if you want a refund? At this point, the anime is following the manga very closely. This episode covered Chapters 11, 12 and 13 in the manga. Being faithful to the content of the manga is one thing, but getting the pacing right is an additional challenge. I think that the director Shinya Kawamo ( 川面真也 ) is doing an outstanding job. |

| Hahaha .. that brother in the sand. loved the Hotaru panics. and Komari was great in that swimsuit , idk why she was crying over Natsume seeing her? |
hgeronimo said: and Komari was great in that swimsuit , idk why she was crying over Natsume seeing her? Because, as the episode title suggests, she'd been pretending to have lost it because she was so embarrassed about the fact that her swimsuit from 3 years ago still fit her - especially given that it had her school year from the time on a label stuck to the front. And she'd been unable to go into the sea (which she had wanted to do) as a result. And then her sister walks in to see that she'd been wearing it under her clothes the whole time... |

What if someone steal a vegetable? It's tempting to get one and not pay. The mother made a good choice not to buy Komarichan a new swimsuit because it still looks good on her. Then again, if she wears that on the beach, some lolicon will kidnap her since she's easy to carry. lol |
| MOCCHOROKE DANCING! lol, renges definitely the best character in this series. so, a beach episode. poor koma-chan, always being mistaken for a little kid :< and also the brother in the sand lol |
 |
| LOL at Ren-chan watching the bug instead of Natsumi switching the ramen bowls |

Magito said: What if someone steal a vegetable? It's tempting to get one and not pay. You do realize if you said that to the locals they would think you are an E.T. and say "why?" if she wears that on the beach, some lolicon will kidnap her since she's easy to carry. lol Was I the only one that when Hotarun said "she is so light someone might take her" tought that SHE had already thought about it? Then when running to get the last train home she confirmed her suspicions (also, Hotarun is physically in darn good shape). So we should not surprised if someday she lets her instincts take over and sweep Komari in her arms and take her someplace to cuddle her cute senpai at her heart contempt :3 I mean, that doll is only a replacement for the real thing. |
mangamuscle said: Was I the only one that when Hotarun said "she is so light someone might take her" tought that SHE had already thought about it? I hadn't thought about that, but you're probably right. Not that I think Hotaru is the sort of person who actually would kidnap her senpai. She's far too subtle in her tactics for something like that. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Silly Koma-chan... don't you know that Sukumizu is GOD TIER? All that Komarin bashing this episode.... makes me want to give her a hug. Also, when I heard that Hotarun is a 5th grader and thus a JS.... Mind =Blown I mean, that body... Speaking of Hotarun, first she got to "hold hands" with her beloved sempai and then in die end, she even got to carry her. Bet she was in heaven. |

| This episode was hilarious especially when they where on the station and forgetting their teacher/sister with the last train. The part on the beach where they got worried about the kidnapping was also funny. |

We have similar vegie stands with honor boxes in Tasmania, Australia. People even pop in when traveling from the city to get vegies and pay if they are out on a Sunday drive. No one even thinks of pinching them! It's a great way for the local farmers to get a little bit of extra cash with some of the produce that didn't go to market that day. |

okanagan said: Note also that she is unusually tall and strong for her age. Made an annotation, no seriously, how many 5th graders you know that can haul 20 kgs (at least) from one side of a pedestrian bridge to the other without breaking a sweat? She even said "senpai is light"! In the anime, there is a locked wooden box with a small slot for coins to be inserted. In the manga, it is simply a cup! Before people start saying thinking that the anime producers think "no way people won't take the money and run" remember Renge's pet; tanukis have paws that can grab coins just because they grab their fancy, crows have no paws but have been known to drag shiny objects to their nests. I would not be surprised that tanuki are crafty enough to steal a coin, go to the vending machine, push the button, haul the can and drink the sweet nectar hiding under the bushes. What if you only have a 500 yen coin, for example? Or what if you want a refund? Everything was 100 yen a piece, if the buyer forgot to bring 100 yen coins is mostly his own fault. I think that the director Shinya Kawamo ( 川面真也 ) is doing an outstanding job. Hear! Hear! |
| mangamuscle said: No seriously, how many 5th graders you know that can haul 20 kgs (at least) from one side of a pedestrian bridge to the other without breaking a sweat? She even said "senpai is light"! I checked, and it turns out that, in reality, Hotarun can carry Koma-chan! Look at the table on page 12 here: http://r4d.dfid.gov.uk/PDF/Outputs/R75758BM9148.pdf Next, look at this graph: http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/set1clinical/cj41c022.pdf Hotarun is big for her age. Koma-chan is small for her age. Also, this is a carry over only a short distance. So what happened was totally realistic. - - - - - - - The director is Shinya Kawamo. ( 川面真也 ) Here are some lists in Japanese of the things that he has worked on during his career: http://www.allcinema.net/prog/show_p.php?num_p=765864 http://www19.atwiki.jp/enshutsu/pages/367.html http://www7.atwiki.jp/anime_wiki/pages/597.html Non Non Biyori is only the second TV anime series that he has directed. His first TV anime series was Kokoro Connect. In addition, he did three OVA episodes of Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Futari no Elder. |

| Meh I've never really appreciated the obligatory "beach episodes" in anime, since it's full of unnecessary fan service. Shame on the anime for giving a 5th grader bust smh. Anyway, since this episode came after my favorite Renge episode, I felt it was very average and predictable. Koma facing predictable problems being noticeably short and physically immature. Whatever, I still love the series anyway... |

Anyways I was more responding to Kdanni who reasoned that it can happen because she's only 11 :) |
Magito said: What if someone steal a vegetable? It's tempting to get one and not pay. Then you would be that one asshole who ruined it for everybody. By the way, these things do exist in real life, I've purchased firewood this way. okanagan said: What if you only have a 500 yen coin, for example? Most other places that I've been to, unlike Canada and the US, make minimal use of credit cards and mostly use cash for... nearly everything. To make life easy for themselves, they usually do 2 things: 1. Tax is included in the labeled price. 2. everything is rounded to the dollar, no $xx.99 crap. usually, you pay for things in even, whole dollar amounts, so it's generally much easier to make exact change. |
| I have to say I lol so hard at Komarichan mistaken as a lost child and her angry expression. I watched it again and I laugh hard even more. trolling lost-chan can be so much fun. |
Madcat6204 said: Wordsmith said: Silly Koma-chan... don't you know that Sukumizu is GOD TIER? Not when you're in 8th grade and the swimsuit is for 5th grade it's not. I'm sorry, but as a learned lolicon I can assure you that even girls in the 8th grade look fantastic in grade school outfits, including sukumizu. |

| Poor brother XD, aww Komari <33 That's one fine 5th grader (＾་།＾) REN-CHON!!!!（*´▽｀*） |
| I somehow felt sorry for Komari this time, hehe :) But Hotarun sure has nice.. ehm, body :D Funny episode, I laughed hard when Ren-chan's sister was left at the station and when Suguru suddenly appeared. |
| She's not a fifth-grader, she's not a fifth-grader, she's not... |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |

| Am I a loli con for liking Hotaru? I know she's fifth grader in this story But, god! She's a babe! haha |
| "Burn the heretics" |
| Had some good laughs here Poor Komari chan the Chibi jokes hit her hard |
| There is an astounding similarity between Hotaru and the tall girl Yūko in "A-Channel" (2011). Compare for yourself: Hotaru, age 10, in a two-piece blue swimsuit at the beach: http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/zakuzaku911/imgs/e/e/ee924cb2.jpg Yūko Nishi, age 17, A-Channel, also wearing a two-piece blue swimsuit: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/24100000/-tooru-yuuko-a-channel-24146728-1920-1200.jpg Toaki90 asked: Am I a lolicon for liking Hotaru? I know she's a fifth grader in this story But, god! She's a babe! Yes, you are. However, it would be okay to like the 17-year-old Yūko in A-Channel! Both of them are babes. |
