Head clerk was being such a mean jerk towards just about everyone else other than Yuina. It's not wonder the part time workers decided to suddenly quit, being fed up with the treatment they received. What Yuina said about not loving your job is also right, but i think Yousuke's attitude had to be the main reason.

And Yuina's rejection was almost like Karma. I see these guys who act nice only to their love interest, and they most likely never win. Yeah, I know she declined his offer because she wouldn't enjoy being an Inn manager, but still. Karma.

Oh, and I miss Ko chan already.

I swear on the name of my yard's algae that it's how he looks after gulping all that sushit in Tokyo

Protip: Boys don't stay fit all the time for you to gawk at, y'no? What you see when they strip off their spandex is merely a synergic byproduct of hours of masturbation, I mean, musculation, and careful planing of their grassy cutaneous surface.

But to apologize for this tragic truth, I promise I'll give you some hot and fit-for-masturbation-purpose Tohru pix next time when he already hit the gym and get back in shape if I still remember who you are, that is...

The new OP is very close to the first one (same direction, same band),


I didn't like that they made it so similar. Why even do a second OP if you are just going to animate them doing the same things?

This episode was enjoyable because of Yuina. She hasn't been in the anime near enough.

A No-Tohru-Episode! Yay! ^_^ (as a guy I really don't like Tohru as the only reason people like him is his looks; no foundation has been laid for his legendary 'kindness') Ko is so much better.

Anyways, about the episode. We get a Tohru stand-in with Yosuke, who is job-focused and treats his co-workers terribly. I really like the insight into Yuina and I'm impressed with her self-determination. She may lack tact but she's definately her own girl. And yay for Nako in her swimsuit!

And I imagine that the next episode with have the girls step up and act as waitresses and show the big-boys how to do it. Here's to another Tohru-less episode! :)

I don't like the way he was treating his staff, eh that Yosuke.
If he treated them a bit nicely they probably should like the work a bit more.

Good episode!

Yeah new opening and ending.

Kou is there and yet not very happy.
It doesn't mean the opening give you bunch of hints.

Ohana x Kou = Not been solved yet.

She didn't have tell her feeling for him.
It could be such a plot twist that she said she like him, and Kou saying back I don't like you anymore.

Kou might end up like someone else.

New OP & ED are nice, though the OP feels familiar because it has the same artist and the scenes used are actually the same except for a different place. I mean that the moment when they go to the train, walk through the town and stuff are at the same moment as the first OP, but have different camera angles and are on a little different placen. It's a bit refreshing though and the ending was pretty nice with those trees.
Also I suspected Yuina for saying no to Yousuke after their first conversation, and it became the truth.
And of course 'Nakochi the Kappa' was awesome.
This really keeps being a awesome show, even the beach episode didn't felt as a usual one.

Hehe, many confessions and many rejections. Loving the field trip so far. Yuina is pretty happy-go-lucky, but at least she got a little serious about her choice in the end. Didn't expect her to have a fiance though. Guess it isn't true love, but just a business relationship.

Pretty sad Nako's in another class though. We haven't seen much of her other than the dinner and the Kappa part! xD

New OP was nice but pretty similar to the previous one. Not a big fan of the new ED though. Looking forward to next week's as always!

The new OP is nice, but I prefer the old ED. I've never skipped the OP like I do with many series when watch Hanasaku Iroha.

Nice episode like always. I just love how Minchi is so calm throughout everything (except when Tohru is mentioned).

I'm so glad we have more of her, she's my favourite! :3 I like her approach to working, the inn, and the whole fiance thing ... oh my! :O I agree Yosuke did kind of have it coming to him, but who am I to say that ... ;O

So from the opening, I'm guessing Kou isn't completely gone yet. Shucks : ( That means he's still in the running...

Yuina sure picked the wrong time to pour out her thoughts, but I guess better then, than never. However, I don't see why she and that guy can't just do what they both want. If they had a proper talk, then I'm sure they can understand each other.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

I really enjoyed this episode. Yuina got some development and I'm actually starting to like her. Minko was pretty cool too. Speaking of which, I loved when Ohana and Yuina trew her in the water. Ohana is as wired as always (yelling something like that with everyone listening xD) but that's what makes her a great character.

New OP is great (as good as the first one) and new ED is ok but I liked the first one way better.

This is my way of life..aka THUGLIFE.

I like the OP more than the last, but this ED is fackin terrible. It can't even compare to Hazy. :I

This episode was by far the most pimpin episode to date. We finally get to see the OG heiress Yuina being her gansta self. Fuggin doing karaoke(she was singing to the ED to episode 8, btw), fuggin rejecting bitches left and right, even her own FIANCE, fuggin jumping on Ohana, that mother effin playa, and just being high on life. I swear she hits a joint every now and then, her eyes are always half open. Fuckin winners, I'm so glad she's joining Ohana in the festing game. Two pimps are better than one!

Minko, I don't even know where to start. She knows how to shoot down bitches, she's always ahead of the game. "You BALUUUTT~!" should be considered a new slur for those bitches out there. And when she didn't take off her layers, she obviously didn't wanna show off her fine swimsuit to the other jealous wannabes on that beach.

And lol, I wasn't expecting that competitive swimsuit from Nako, when I should've. That funny mother effer. She had me. And when she and Ohana organized those slippers, holy shit. Way to be so pimpin about it, such generous people they are. :3

I kind of like the new OP. I don't know if it's better than the first one, but I still like it just as much.

So this was the stereotypical hot spring bath/field trip episode. I'm glad their outfits on the trip were those blue pants and white T-shirts. They were so much better than those aweful sweatsuits the K-ON characters wore on their field trip.
While there were some things that made this episode unique and different from the other field trip anime episodes out there, it felt a little bit like filler, so I thought this episode was only OK.

Okay, so the OP was slightly worse than the first one, but whatever. I'm not sure, but was that her grandma mourning? Does this mean we'll soon hear about her grandpa? Really, I'm pumped up, I haven't watched this series for three weeks straight and it immediately got me again. This ep was really shoujo, I must say, exactly what I want to see more, and yes, I love how that bird is a running gag. It was... a pelican? Something like that, right? Anyway, great, and Ohana's reactions always make me laugh. She and Minchi are such a tsukkomi and boke-duo.
