So it's onsen episode huh.... though really we didn't get to see anything as most probably had expected xP

interesting to see how they added Yamada to the OP/ED sequence. :)

once more I fall in love with that magic hand. Takanashi and Inami interacting made me smile as he keeps her somewhat in line plus she gives off the vibe of starting to like him more.

Did Yachio start to think about Satou? It'd be nice to see some development even if it's not gonna lead anywhere as it seems.

This is getting a bit more romantic while retaining the funny side and developping the characters bit by bit, which is a very good thing. I must say I'm growing quite fond of this series now. Oh and next episode with girl-Takanashi will certainly be epic.

First time watching an onsen episode without the "onsen scenes".. Looks like they're keeping the wholesome image for the show, which I really admire..

Lots of subtle developments for the characters.. I still can't imagine how this series is gonna end up..

Can't wait for the next episode, Takanashi's childhood curse will haunt him back.. Wonder what's going to be the crazy reason why he needs to dress as a woman.. XD

I think there's a chance that this anime just might make it to one of my favorite anime list :)

Also, loved this episode. At first, I was afraid this would be another typical onsen episode in slice of life anime: lots and lots of fanservice. But I was pleasantly wrong! It was a really good episode, and I liked the Inami scenes, even though I didn't like her much before. Satou and Souma were both awesome in this episode too :)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Well, it wasn't what I was expecting, but that wasn't a bad thing.

A little Souta/Inami development was pleasing, and I thought Yamada was far better in this episode compared to last weeks. I also like the way she's been put into the OP.

Next week's episode looks a bit mad!

It was pretty good, but I kinda liked those eyecatches where Kyoko would be eating something and Yachiyo would say "How wonderful" X3

Almost no punches on screen is glorious.

But really slow episode. They're talking about onsen this onsen that but they don't get into the onsen even on episode's half mark, actually even tiill the end.

Wait.. where's the onsen? they like put their feet in the water and that's all. Disappointing.

Next episode should introduce another new character I hope judging by the episode's title, so should be interesting.

I liked Yamada a heck of a lot more this time around, especially with her jumping on top of Satou's car. Also, her interactions with Souma were pretty cute.

I had really wanted Inami not to punch Takanashi when he put his hand on her shoulder at the bridge, but I guess it's still too early for that.

Next episode with her dad will to be interesting.
Ha-cha!

Great and cute episode. Sister letting brother go out and have fun.. awesome. Thought we get some fan service but we get a nice developing love story between SoutaXInami. As for him dressing as a girl next week, that's DEFINITELY going to be EPIC. :D

Heh, that was pretty good. Satou driving away on Souma was great, but expected. I wonder if Inami's dad is a crossdresser, too? It would almost make sense, what with her androphobia and whatnot.

I've seen this girl before, and I've always been wondering who she was. She is clearly in the beginning of episode eight.

Yama yama yama yama....

-Yamada made everything great in this episode. Imagining breakfast,lunch and dinner, calling Takanashi late at night and jumping on Satou's car. The funniest part is when Taneshima and Yamada rolled down, though it looks weird that they look balled up. She gets along with Souma very well now. Onii-chan~. They also placed her in the OP song, liked it.

-Satou still can't refuse Yachiyo, I see. I found it funny when he said "Tch" when Kyoko offered them a ride. Panicking when Yachiyo gave him gum and leaving Souma(still with his black sparkles XD) like that is also hilarious. Too bad he(and also us) didn't see Yachiyo with the "freshly-bathed" look XD

-Inami was ok in this episode. There's some development on her relationship with Takanashi. I'm just wondering why she and Takanashi wandered around like that and ended up in that bridge. Liked the magic hand grabbing her.

When one sees "onsen episode", it's usually accompanied by fanservice. This is a first I think for an onsen episode w/o the fanservice and the onsen. Kind of disappointing but this works too. Looking forward to next episode, Takanashi as a trap....not really.

Wrong approach on trying to "heal" Inami. It's quite obvious that she's a weak-willed but physically strong type, like a bully who doesn't want anybody else to pity her but deep inside wants to "change" but because she's mentally weak she just keeps on punching Katanashi um...Takanashi. The only thing that can really make her change should be something drastic and with a lot of "shock" factor. If this wouldn't get past 12-13 episodes we'd see something like that in episode 10 or so.

And she's arguably the most stupid character in all of the 2010 anime.

Very enjoyable episode. Yamada was definitely more likable in this episode, her and Souma make an amusing combo.
Too bad they left Satou behind, though the scene at the end between him and Souma was pretty funny.

Hilarious episode. Yamada getting more and more excited that she would be alone at the shop was brilliant.

It was becoming obvious, as Souma stated that Satou had just missed Yachiyo, that Satou was going to have a negative reaction and it was a fun moment.

Wonder what the relationship between Inami and Souta will develop into in the end... prolly it will stay stationary, but who knows.

Onsen episode done right. Nice to see that it can be entertaining without the service. My opinion of Aoi changed completely from the last episode. She was great and I found it amusing that they so seamlessly inserted her into the OP without changing anything else. LOL.

She did, but that still seems like such a long shot... I think she just feels a little guilty about him.

I was thinking the same thing. Poor Satou can't catch a break no matter what he does. Next episode looks like its going to be funny too not to mention Takanashi's past is coming up again...poor guy, I hope his family doesn't randomly drop by xD.
