Balut is delicious indeed.


I seriously hope you're not being serious.

Never see that Balut coming. A great episode, and I'm thinking Ohana's character is starting to develop. Balanced comedy, drama and some fanservice won't hurt.

P.S. I love Balut especially the broth inside. Minko is just basing on its look but not the taste. :9

ROFL i'd attempt to kill myself too if I was put in such a shameful situation like that LOL

like damn ur right there in front of the 3 girls that you're writing a dirty novel about, and 1 of them reveals that to the other 2 haha that is just harsh.

lol they moe'd Nako to the max after she got out of the water.

End was pretty cute. not as good as previous episodes but I wont be put off by this!

Awkward yuri fan service scenes, yes; out-of-place, kinda spoiled the mature, coming-of-age drama that it had on the first two episodes. I am not one to like fan service in general; it surprised me that they decided to include such scenes.

Even so, I don’t care. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It fit, according with what was happening.

Everything was really hilarious, it was put to well use so the plot didn’t keep still and there was plenty of character development; by now, I love almost each and every one of the characters. The animation is as precise and beautiful as it was since the series began.
What shall I complain about, then? Nothing. It was a nice change, more light-hearted; as long it isn’t overused, it’s welcomed in my book.

Hanasaku Iroha keeps being one of my favorite shows this season.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Good episode, but not great. Pretty funny, but O_O at the same time. Yea, weird author likes yuri apparently ... :P
Wow, Nako can swim? Don't know how her hair came down but it was nice to see that side of her
Not really sure how I feel about the written down list of insults ... I mean wow, that's kind of taking it too far lol O_O
Okami san is nice after all isn't she?! :P

I have to say that Ohana is the most level-headed character I have ever seen and even pointed out what went wrong with the technique...

Now I wonder what would have happened if Nako would have been the only one that arrived at the wave room...

It kinda of funny how much effort that Minko put into finding a new way to insult Ohana..

Forgot to comment on this.

Episodes one and two were really, really good; but this episode was just stupid imo and completely ruined the atmosphere. It's probably just a one off bad episode here, or so I hope, as it is expected with a 26 episode long series.

I kinda do and don't at the same time.... Yes it was WAAAAY different, complete 180. But I sont consider it stupid. It did feel like a filler episode, but I think it still goes with the theme that one can find something fun in a depressing life. Besides, it was funny as hell. Dramas can have funny moments. Though, being in the 3rd ep, its very weird.

With every episode this series seems to get worse. One dimensional characters, forced humor, mass of cliches. It's very awkward to watch.

Nice episode!!! a little bit strange, but I think this is good anime.
Three episodes judgement is positive, this series seems a good drama, there are interesting chara like Ohana and Minchi.
Now I'm curious for next episodes and new Ohana's school....

next to 4th ep

I would loved to have that yuri script from the perv and improve it. Ohana in bondage is neat too bad the man can't rape for shit and he really got what he deserved but I didn't think he would jump off the cliff.

5/5


I dont think you should make fun of someone on their raping ability...

I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes, but this one? Not so much. Mainly because that 'author' is really annoying. I'm not looking forward to him sticking around...

Ugh.. So much fan service in this anime. I just hate it; it pisses me off. And even the wet shirt for Nako! Ew.

Besides that. Good episode. I kinda like Tohru. And Ko-chan! Lol. He's really nice and adorable. :)

That author annoys me to death though. I wanted him to die. Stupid perverted meanie.
The "I want to sparkle!" made me angry. Maybe I'm just not meant for shoujos xD.
I loved Clannad though... But Clannad wasn't really a slice of life; only the first season. Second it got dramatic and intense.

Is Hanasaku Iroha what a true shoujo is really like??
If so, I'm definitely not a shoujo person. I even LOVED Fruits Basket and School Rumble though! This show just really annoys me to no end, however it does have some interesting scenes.

Ahaha, yuri scene w/ Ohana, Minchi and Nako...and I don't why but I actually laughing when Nato suddenly jumps into the sea to save Jiroumaru (that ero novelist). He even don't know how to tie Ohana that even Ohana herself help him to do it...suddenly I pity him.

Next will be a school setting episode. Hopefully more plot development there~

I wanted to give it a 1 for the underage bondage and wet-shirt pose, but the rest of the episode was good enough to bump it up to a 2. I was told this episode was a fluke that doesn't get repeated, so I'm trusting that enough to not drop the series now.

For me, this was most definitely the weakest out of the first 3 episodes. The 1st 2 episodes had some great drama while this one went in a completely different direction, it was silly(which I don't really mind) but it was incredibly predictable and cliche and very over the top.

If this series will alter between episodes like this one and the first two then this will prove to be a very uneven experience.

Great episode and quite funny especially the bondage scene "no it's supposed to be like this xD" and just a nice ending with a funny word Balut xD

The ending txt message was also quite nice, I wonder if he ever will reappear later!

Don't think so, people handle falls like that just for fun here. It'd would have been different if he just fell on a rock

But more important, WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SERVICE ALL OF A SUDDEN
