| I was surprised that Nanami didn't know the brand at the beginning. Also, there's no way that Anthy calling her cow Nanami and knitting a red sweater are a coincidence. That girl is too sketchy, I swear. |

| i can feel my brain cells dying out but symbols-diggers are still busy i see |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Moral of the episode: DON'T SMOKE WEED because i'm pretty sure that the writers did when they wrote the episode |

| Yeah, I'm convinced Ikuhara has a terrible sense of humor now. It's like that one guy you know who thinks he's funny/clever but makes terrible jokes, and the only time you laugh is because of how awkward the joke is rather than because it's legitimately funny. I still thought the episode was okay because at times the strangeness went full circle and became somewhat amusing in a meta sense. |
| How sheltered is Nanami that she didn't know what a cowbell was? Furthermore, how dumb is she that she couldn't see how ugly the thing looked on her? The whole "Sebastian Dior"/"Cow-bastian Dior" thing was pretty funny. This filler might've been made to fuel the transformation fetish of someone on the production team. This is something I'm...very okay with. Other then that, this episode gave me a sort of nostalgic feeling with the whole "you reap with you sow"/it being an almost self-contained morality-based tale. It feels like something they would show on Cartoon Network around Halloween time. |

| I feel like this story is going nowhere. Sure there is a lot of farfetched symbolism that's chucked into the story, that has some weak link to the story. Am I supposed to care? And what is with all the incest, lesbian, animal cruelty,asskissing, fanaticism, melodramatics, slapping and overused repetition of songs, duels and scenes? Honestly I don't get it. Why are you showing me all of this? Even if at the end, I read a forum explaining everything, I'm still not sure if I'm sold, and I'd be wondering if I should've dropped this series because it's not resonating with me. Quite boring at the moment, I get the story, I just don't know where all this extraneous information overload is heading towards. Say I finish this series, can I bring myself to rewatch it, just to tie up all the details? No. I can't. I can do that with Serial Experiments Lain, FLCL (relatable themes of puberty, philosophising of what it means to be an adult, being honest with your emotions, how people cope with unhappiness etc.) Ghost in the Shell, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu etc. But not this. I am bored out of my mind just watching this the first time. Yes I got the message that some people would wear anything so long as it's a brandname. Totally exaggerated though and has no substance. If we're talking about famous brandnames that are somewhat gimmicky, it's not that bad, and believe or not, the majority of people do stop wearing things if they get ridiculed for it. The humour is on point though, and it's a great filler episode in itself, but the satire felt very forced. E.g. Crocs, a lot of people hated it even though users say it's very comfortable, durable and cheap; uggs also have a negative connotation in my country. Sorry for the negativity, I really hope the show starts getting interesting, and I'm glad some people are finding this show exhilarating.  |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| The levels of absurdity of this episode were SKY HIGH hahahhajshajksh. Funny how both of the most random comedy centered episodes have to do with Nanami. I liked it. Somehow the cow theme suited her, lol. |

| Not only this was filler episode in Utena (and all that involves), but it's also critizing fashion and trade mark fetishization. This show can't get better. 5/5 Also, next episode is about Juri's old friend, called it. Oh, and: obligatory moo |

| Eh, that was pretty freaking weird, the message of this episode was rather straightforward, but sadly I did not find the comedic scenes funny at all :x Maybe I just didn't feel like watching something this filler-ish in Utena again. |
  |
| This episode is in the wrong place. Either move it prior to episode 14 and 15 or post the current arc. Kinda breaks the atmosphere that the anime built until now. Unless this was all part of her brother's plan to get rid of the head of the council. |
| I wonder if there's any meaning to the occasional replays of the prologue at the beginning of some episodes. |
| episodes likes this make me realize how much time I waste on anime |

| Haha Cowbell XD The episode reminds me of that Kangaroo episode in Australia. MOOOUU MOOOUUU MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! Next episode should be fun!! |
| Nobody: Nanami this episode: |
| Someone on the production team has a really weird sense of humour |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Funny - symbolical filler , nothing else |
| I hate everyone equally |
| After knowing what kind of twisted person Nanami is, "filler" episodes focused on her misfortune for comedic purposes aren't even entertaining anymore. Not that they were any good in the first place tho. |
| Lmao imagine having to dub this episode. This episode was so good |
| Lmao this episode was hilariously bad that it was amazing. MiMiXSheShe said: Lmao imagine having to dub this episode. This episode was so good Yes the dub version of this is gold. |
   |
| worst episode so far, whilst they're obviously right with the "people will wear anything branded blah blah blah" that doesn't make the episode good.. And do they want Nanami to be a serious character or not ??? They only used her for "comedy" filler episodes, then tried to make her serious out of nowhere and made her a duelist, and now they're doing the filler episodes again- if they're gonna try and make her a comedic character whose serious at times atleast do it right the 3 brothers were the only good things about this episode |
| This episode was so fucking weird lmao |
  |
| funny and crazy episode, can't believe all this happened all because of a mixup. Nanami really had the guts to wear that cowbell proudly, and things got crazy, just like I predicted as I was watching. moo. |
| this was such a random episode- |
 |
| So far, this show has had only 3 bad episodes. All of them, including this one, have been Nanami-centric episodes that seem to contribute almost nothing to the wider narrative whatsoever. Remind me again why this character exists and why she's had more screentime than anyone besides Utena and Anthy and maybe Touga. |
| the cringiest episode I have ever seen |
| ''Touch the darkness inside me'' |
| Sincerely and from the bottom of my heart: wtff Also giiiirl you did NOT just name a cow after her, you did not 😭 |

| @RavenWish Yes. My mom is sadly one of such people. She only goes after the trendy shit. |
| The funny thing is, nose rings are trendy now. The episode was ahead of its time with the fashion. |
| cow nanami is kinda hot ngl ok i kinda wished they showed us a nanami with a septum piercing at the end thatd be pretty based ngl lmao i am enjoying those nanami episodes theyre so unhinged |
 |
| Interesting symbolism of her being groomed for slaughter by her brother to create the adoration trial. |
