| "Where did you hide the tests?"' "In your closet, under the futon." ARMAGEDDON! XD! Their mom is actually really patient putting up with that kind of attitude from Natsumi. If I did that bunny act in front of my mom while being scolded, I probably won't be alive to type this comment haha. Was I the only one who instantly smiled when Ren-chon called out to Nattsun and Komari on the road? Also, the return of Nyanpasu~~! Hotaru's definitely a yandere. The Koma-plushies were cute but seeing that many was kind of creepy. Nice save by Ren-chon when Hotarun's closet got opened. Natsumi's Renge plushie was just a cyclinder with stuff sticking out as ahoge XD MAL has this at 12 episodes. We're halfway through. I don't want this to end :( |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Another relaxed, heartwarming episode. Sucks that Natsumi has her low scores and been spotted by her caring mother. A tripped to Hotaru's house, with her plushin dolls of Komari being too noticeable XD. A failed advantage to scare Natsumi though. LOL her brother just walks by and didn't even noticed him. The ending scene is somewhat relaxing though. |
| That game console looked like a cross between the fat ps3 and the ps4. I think it's more towards the ps3 so I WONT count it as the first appearance of a ps4 in anime. Also the sparkler close up at the end looked like live action video. It must of been right? |

Ajunky said: At least she was able to pass it as "practice" But it was practice. Practice for making more of them. I wonder what Kazuho made of their projects. I wonder how they made the firework sparkle closeshots (http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w597/Gorimzos/biyori_zps58c122d7.png), I doubt they just normally cg-animated them and adjusted brightness levels. Maybe real video picture added with some color control and blurring? Well dunno, interesting pictures anyway. You're right. That does look real. They fit it in so perfectly I didn't even notice. |

| This episode was sooo funny xD Every time that's all for today message comes up I cry a little inside xD |
 |
| Senpai obsession much? :P I got to say I expected the brother to be the scarer, I think that would of been really funny :D |
| I wouldn't mind at least one Komari plushie. |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
| That bunny scene .. haha ... and nice ghost story, poor Komari. So far, this anime has been amazing for me, i really love all the characters, silence between the scenes and all the other little things about it. |
| Why is Ren-chon so awesome? |
HitoriTomoyo said: I am sure they will sell them, merch is what this is all about.I wouldn't mind at least one Komari plushie. And yeah, the sparkler shots looked so good I think they must have been real but I don't care, they looked perfect to me! |
| Wow, I thought all those asian mum stereotypes were just vast over-exaggerations. I'm so glad my mum was never like that or I'd have hated school even more than I already did. I don't see how screaming at your kid is meant to encourage them to do anything in the pursuit of learning. |
| The part with the Komari dolls was funny wonder how much time Hotaru spend making all of those. End the part about home work also made for some nice entertainment Natsumi and Komari's mother can be pretty harsh on them when needed by the looks of it. But in Natsumi's case it's needed she is pretty stubborn and a bit to easy going at times. |
| For me, the scene where Natsumi got chewed out by her mom for her bad report card was memorable. I'll give her mom a lot of credit for caring about her daughter's academic future. It was very interesting to see Natsumi bowing down in that very formal way when her mom was scolding her. From what I know, that is a formal way of bowing, called a "zarei" (座礼). I can only think of one other time in anime where I saw somebody do a zarei. It seems to be associated with highly cultured people in formal situations. So it seems that Natsumi comes from a good family. The procedure for doing a proper zarei involves a number of well-defined steps, and the posture is strictly specified. After her mom discovered all of the test with zeroes, it just happened that she was holding a "futon beater" which is what you use to beat your futons in order to remove the dust. So it was just Natsumi's bad luck that her mom happened to be holding the futon beater at that specific moment. You can compare with Chapter 10 in the manga and it is basically the same. If somebody gets angry and tells you to do a 座礼 just do a Google Image search for 座礼 and you will find lots of photos as well as step-by-step instructions. More generally, there are many other ways to bow which you can see by Googling Images of お辞儀. In addition to that, there is a special formal way of sitting called "seiza" (正座). |
| I was surprised by the locals reactions to Hotarun's obsession with Komari, I was fully expecting someone to say "creepy" or something similar. I suppose if the tittle of this anime was "Shiki" then Hotarun would drink Komaris blood and she would think is some kind of Tokyo fad or something O_o; Albeit this village seems even smaller than the one depicted in Shiki (so far there is no "main street" nor government facilities beyond the school). |
| ah why is this show so beautiful? :-) loved the scene where they lit the fireworks, it's such a slice-of-life cliche but it was so pretty in this one. and i loved the brother this episode. first when he ran really fast and then when he went to the shrine :D |
 |
| Hotarun almost got away with her Komari-kurumi dolls. But it is so sweet that no one suspects her being obsessive towards Komari. And who knows the scariest task may be to be the person who does the scaring not the one who is to be scared? |
| 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. |
| Natsumi's Armageddon was a really good comedy Hotaru's Komari complex was scary The other three managed to make a school project out of it The end part was cute and beautiful with the fireworks |

I knew! being with others is always more reassuring than being alone in terms of a scary setting. Well, unless the others are in on the scaring xD |
vonPeterhof said: LOL "koma-gurumi". that is the best part and this is the best episode so far, 5/5 i LOLOL when that Koma-gurumi falls out of the closet and i laughed at the word "nee-chan gurumi" :D |
okanagan said: So it was just Natsumi's bad luck that her mom happened to be holding the futon beater at that specific moment.

But it is so sweet that no one suspects her being obsessive towards Komari. It's gradually becoming more and more obvious, though. Long gone are the days when the only hint was being unusually pleased at being given a sweet. How long can Hotaru hold onto her positive image? |

| Whoa she has so many plushies of sempai XDD Dat fireworks or sparklers was nice. |

She's just gotta keep on building up points with Koma-chan like she did during the fireworks scene. Then, even when Komari realizes that Hotarun's yandere for her, she won't freak out too much! |
| Oh my Hotaru did make so many plushies of Komari |
 |
| Have to say the firework at the end was marvelously animated, and it even seems to be an anime original, not from the manga. Just great. |

| Ren-chon <3!!! Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD |
| The brother lacks presence... Undim said: Looks like Hotaru's secret is out of the closet. *badum tssh* |
| lol when his lack of presence is exactly the one thing that scares her |
 |
| This episode was clearly focused on the big brother- LOL I rewatched the first few scenes many times xD I did not expect this! http://i.imgur.com/zhecq3p.jpg he actually got scared before quickly recovering himself =P http://i.imgur.com/pYJINn5.jpg he's smiling! http://i.imgur.com/hUNDTAu.jpg |

| Poor Hotaru's, grew so much in one year. I hope she stays like this for the rest of her life, or grow only 2-3 inches more. That indoor tag xD The closet, the closet! Glad that it worked well for Hotaru, thanks to Ren-chan That "Gu" XD That family play was so cute, Hotaru must be happy playing mom Poor Komari, got to be the scarer xD I just knew that it was onii-chan, haha. Is it just me that he is starting to appear more? At this rate, he might speak any episode :p HAHAHAHA, "Evil spirits begone" XD Another AMAZIINNNG episode, I am the no 1 fan of this series now! Damn, I would feel extremely bad and mad if this anime doesn't sell. Can anyone tell me how it is doing so far? |

| TragicRomance said: I would feel extremely bad and mad if this anime doesn't sell. Can anyone tell me how it is doing so far? Bad and mad? Let's hope not! Here are the number of "points" from Amazon Stalker. These includes both the Blu-rays and the DVDs. I am just picking and choosing a few anime series that interest me. Shingeki no Kyojin Volume 5 ............. 32718 points Bakemonogatari Volume 1 ............... 24970 points Free! Volume 4 .............................. 12030 points キルラキル Kill La Kill Volume 1 ............. 3389 points のんのんびより Non Non Biyori Volume 1 .. 2372 points Outbreak Company Volume 1 ............... 786 points ぎんぎつね Gingitsune Volume 1 ............. 743 points ガリレイドンナ Galilei Donna Volume 1 ...... 727 points ゴールデンタイム Golden Time ................. 645 points My mental choices... Volume 1 .............. 584 points Samurai Flamenco Volume 1 .................. 491 points COPPELION Volume 1 ........................... 466 points Tesagure!Bukatsumono Volume 1 ........... 433 points There are numerous other people here who are far better qualified to comment on these numbers. However, it seems to me that Non Non Biyori seems to be quite popular in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales. |

okanagan said: Bakemonogatari Volume 1 ............... 24970 points That should be Onimonogatari (the Shinobu part of Monogatari second season). And those figures are the current points which don't factor in whether the series' sales are getting better or worse, or how long it is since it became available/until release date. As for NNB I can personally attest to at least one sale of volume 1. Though fortunately it seems to be selling well enough that an individual sale has pretty much no statistical significance. For example, SnK 5 comes out next week whereas Onimonogatari doesn't come out until April. NNB, for comparison, comes out on Christmas day. |

| kuuderes_shadow said: That should be Onimonogatari... Woops! A careless and obvious mistake on my part. Thank you for explaining more about the true meaning of those numbers. Any way we slice it, it appears to be good news for Non Non Biyori and bad news for many other current series lower on the list. I speculate that the strong performance of Non Non Biyori in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales will justify a second season, and that is what the producer will announce at the end of the year. |
okanaganNov 15, 2013 1:09 AM
| Why must Non Non Biyori episodes end so fast? Another long week ahead of us... Hotarun is still as gay as ever, she is pretty obsessed with her beloved senpai. Go girl! 4/5. |
| 5/5 Wow, the authors have listened to my earlier appeal ... LOL Episode that much more fun narrative in the first phase, while in the second set, but thanks to Koma-chan and Ren-chon you save! Plot enough, without a hitch. Drawings and animations sufficient BGM nice. All the characters have proven themselves, the brother of Koma and Natsu, is growing. XD Scenarios well made, cute puppets made by Hotarun! : 3 Not the greatest as epic but a nice 5/5 deserve it! |

DannyREN said: Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD No, she just need a bigger closet so she can fit the real Komari inside :3 If Hotarun can also fit inside it would be perfect :D okanagan said: のんのんびより Non Non Biyori Volume 1 .. 2372 points YES!!! Outbreak Company Volume 1 ............... 786 points ぎんぎつね Gingitsune Volume 1 ............. 743 points ゴールデンタイム Golden Time ................. 645 points My mental choices... Volume 1 .............. 584 points NO!!! okanagan said: I speculate that the strong performance of Non Non Biyori in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales will justify a second season, and that is what the producer will announce at the end of the year. Since this season of NNB is 20+ episodes long my hypothesis is that since they will cover most of the material of the manga their aim to make a movie at best, an OVA at least, wth 100% original content. They do not need to make an hour+ long feature, or are the days when they packed two anime movies into one ticket over? |
mangamuscle said: DannyREN said: Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD No, she just need a bigger closet so she can fit the real Komari inside :3 If Hotarun can also fit inside it would be perfect :D To be honest, she probably could fit inside, at least without all those dolls in there. In fact the dolls probably take up more space than the real Komari. Worrying thought, that. Since this season of NNB is 20+ episodes long Pretty sure it's 12 episodes, actually. @Any knowledgable member about Amazon points Do these points represent the number of pre-orders they currently have? No - the points at the time of release are the estimate of the sales the release will get in the first week. The figure on the listing that was posted above is the cumulative point total which can only go upwards and gradually climb up to that total figure. The figure most people talk about is the prediction figure, which extrapolates based on the points accumulated over the past week to predict how many points it will have on release day. For Non Non Biyori the blu ray figure is 4598 and the dvd 637 for a total of 5235. The blu-ray was higher than that for a while but has dropped due to a rank drop on Saturday (which happens for this series every week) being particularly steep this week. Both sets of figures are updated once every hour. |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Hi kuuderes_shadow. Thank you for the clear explanation. That helps. What I was reporting above were the 最新累積ポイント (latest cumulative points). But you say that people usually talk about 最終予測累積ポイント (predicted final cumulative points). And I certainly see why the predicted first-week sales is the more interesting number to quote. In the future I will certainly mention the 最終予測累積ポイント when trying to gauge how well a given series is doing. Right now I am still early in my process of trying to learn how to use Amazon Stalker. 最新 = saishin = latest / most recent / newest 最終 = saishū = final / last 予測 = yosoku = forecast / predict 累積 = ruiseki = cumulative / accumulated ポイント = pointo = point / points |

| Oh, look! Parents in anime exist! I have to say that this Armageddon looks undeniably familiar, tehehe ... Somehow I get why the brother never speaks. Too many crazy women around him in his family and at school *smh* The poor guy. |
| 01:25 "puraisuresu tesuto" LOL 02:22 nanoRIPE <3 03:40 raitoningu supeedo 07:06 what the... 07:47 MILF 10:04 "Non non!" Another great ep. 8/10. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| After watching episode 20 of Monogatari S2, I just had to re-watch this for a bit of healing effect. I gotta say, NNB has the best fireworks animation I've seen to date. |
