Nope. But then again one person's train fare all the way to/from Tokyo just for ... that cultural festival was a bit much in itself.

Poor Natsumi in the beginning, your mom is everywhere xD

Hika-nee is so lovable (lol, I am calling her 'nee' when she is only in highschool, so weird xD) Can't resist Renge's cuteness, that giraffe! UMA, pffft.

Koma-chan's outfit, so cuuuute; I saw real moe today, bye bye real world

That play, xD XD I just knew it, the glasses will fall and the moment they fell, I couldn't breath; so hilarious! xD Nii-chan participated in his own way. Poor Natsumi but she got what she deserved

Loved Natsumi's toys. Komari's essay was just as cute as her. Young Natsumi was so adorable, got trolled with her video tape xD

Natsumi's UMA looked nothing like the one in the episode preview from last time. I wonder if that's what it was originally meant to look like...

Their brother and that dog house was so funny and no one even noticed him which is the best thing of all.
Komari putting on that act was also a funny moment especially the reactions of the others around her, not to mention Kono-chan trying to cheer her up.

Also that last scene with Natsumi with the video was nice.

Am I the only one that noticed that since the grandma of the candy store either died or is no longer able to take care of herself that delinquent-san got the job? Probably after having some troubles with the law (I do not mean nothing major, in japan the police will scold you in the street if they deem you are too young to smoke) in Tokyo and being dragged back to the rural village by her parents (she probably has no skill nor drive to get a soul suckingreal job). ATM her parents are probably trying to marry her to some spinless bastardlucky individual so she can start her own family, medetachi, medetachi.

What?

You know Kaede isn't actually a delinquent, right?

But anyway, the candy store was probably run in the past by the grandmotheras a sort of retirement hobby. Such a place wouldn't need to make much money. Then grandma stopped being able to run it and Kaede decided she wanted to take over, rather than just letting it shut down.
That's how I see it, anyway.

Another funny episode, especially the video part of Natsumi wanted to marry her brother, I thought the video supposed to be a recording of their favourite show from tv.

Also Ren-chon headgear:

It might be as you say, but I got this nagging feeling otherwise. Lets compare delinquent-san (nobody on the series calls her by her given name >_< ) and nee-nee (the teacher).

1. nee-nee gets a salary depending on how many classes she gives, lets suppose she is only paid for one grade, nevertheless that is 4 or 5 classes (from the record card shown on an earlier episode) as a civil servant and she does not have a boss to yell at her if she feels like arriving at 12'o clock, as long as she grades her students she is doing her job.

2. Delinquent-san gets a salary equal to whatever five kids spend on sweets (and they are not fatties that can't go on without getting a dose every day (or after every meal)) or toys (which by her own admission suck hard) and she is all alone while doing her job (the TV is inside the house and she does not seem to have at least a radio with her).

I can perfectly understand why nee-nee does what he does, she gets paid a good salary and gets to interact with the kids, checks their homework then she is off to do whatever she fancies (like window shop at amazon in what to spend her easily earned money). I cannot understand why someone would man a nearly empty shop (that does not sell anything important) for less than minimum wage, she could do the same job at a lawson (since bar codes became the norm even a chimpanzee could do it), get paid more, get to interact with more people and have more fun on her free time. The only reason i can think of is that she has some kind of phobia (to closed spaces, to crowds, to tall building, ???).

Kazuho does.

And I personally would rather have my own, unfrequented shop than be some human robot working on checkout at some chain store. Plus of course doing the latter would mean having to move to somewhere else. Even if it did mean getting paid more.

Then again the places where these weird little shops do seem to survive in unlikely places usually tend to be in areas with a tourism industry - the money they make in tourist season thus making up for the lack of it during the rest of the year. Yet the only things we saw over the summer with any relation to that were a couple of people coming to visit relatives in the village.

Komachan as cute as ever. <3
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.

liking Konomi more and more with that bit with Hika-nee. I guess that "way back when" shot is a hint that she's quite a bit older than Koma-chan and friends unless she grew like Hotarun

5/5

A light-hearted festival so I had not yet seen after the most pompous seen in the past, is hilarity! Nice plot, it's back to the pure slice of life in the narrative, but there is more! ^ _ ^
Nice blast from the past, I remember when the cable reels conosle Atari 2600, then moved to the Sega Megadrive! * _ *
This anime manages to immerse myself in the context in which they are the protagonists, I can feel their detachment from modern life stressful and fast, standards-based flavors. And then, and always so nice to see them in the past. I hope we can put some other character before the end! : D
Too bad that the drawings are not always excellent, I do not know what I would give to them as well! ^ ^ "
Komari too cute, but he always manages to outdo Renge with his find, good performance even Natsu and the others, too bad there was little room for Hotarun! ^ ^ "

P.S. Moar Non Non Biyori! *_*

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.
