I thought Natsumi was pretty priceless this episode to watch. The sleepover was funny though haha.

I had been getting worried that this was going to only be Cute Girls Doing Cute
Things, with just a pet tanuki and a cow thrown in. But this week we see that boy
getting involved in the story when they use him as a scarecrow in the rice field:

Looks like this episode was Natsumi's turn to be the central character.

If you get lucky you lose! Of course it was either going to Hotarun or herself. Turns out it was the latter.

Komari is impossibly bad at Shiritori.

The brother is so passive and willing to submit to the whims of his sisters. For that matter, where did he go after he had been dressed up as a scarecrow?

Looks like more ren-chon next week. And a new character?

And a KitKat ripoff? Haha.

The route to it kept stretching on further as well. I thought it was going to be just under the bridge.
But then there was the tunnel...
Then the tunnel split/went round a corner...
Then they came out and there was the bank...
Then there was the ladder...
And then finally they clambered in through a window...

I'm sure there must be an easier way to get there than that.

But maybe that wouldn't make it feel so special.

Natsuki was hilarious this episode haha. Loved the part where she was making fun of Komari for being scared after watching that movie. Komari is adorable.

DAAAAAW. That scene where Natsuki and Komari's brother walked them home on his bike was way too freaking cute <3

Finally I started to warm up to this series and it pleases me - probably reading manga and comparing with this helped a bit.
It isn't Kinimoza but might be of better things this season.

Both Natsuki and Komari are so cute, those cat-like facial expressions are great.

This was a good episode, having that both relaxing and comedy feel on a Monday :D Natsumi and Komari are the spotlight in this episode having a little character development for them.

I was hoping their brother could at least talk but didn't, weird though. Ah well, can't wait to see the next episode.

Nice. 7/10 for this ep.

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.

He probably just stayed there standing til they went home...

This episode was pretty fun since it was centered on Natsumi and Komari, and we got to see more of their bro this time (I hope he actually says something later on). But it looks like next we'll see more of Renge, I wonder who that friend of her's was in the preview.

Same, but he seems to be in the anime just for the sake of comedy, poor guy being a scarecrow. And also, how nice of him to bring back his sisters on the bike. I like how Natsumi learned her lesson of running away, and their hideout is at such a cool place!

This is fantastic. I love almost everything about it.
The background music towards the end was great.
Oh and the facial expressions this episode. I like the theme of sisterly bonding, and them playfully teasing each other.

Komari's been a prominent character in both the last two episodes, whereas Ren-chon has only so far been a prominent character in one (the first one).

Then again I like all the characters (though Ren-chon is the best) and like how they're very much sharing the focus between them.

Loved every second of it! I am in love with everything about this anime, and it's growing more and more! This is turning out to be a real gem in Slice of Life genre and many don't even know what they are missing! Absolutely loved the running away and returning before the curfew! Three straight 5/5 from me!

Another awesome episode! This show just makes me calm and happy. Not enough Ren-chon but Komari and Natsumi's antics more than made up for it. That bit with the pillow zipper hitting Natsumi just felt so natural it cracked me up xD I had to re-watch it like three times.

Watching episode for the third time and noticed there's also Pucky at the start.
And is ポテトセンべイ a reference to something as well? (and the Yuyake salmon/crab in the cupboard?)

Natsumi sure packs a lot of things at the start for what turns out to just be rice planting.

Edit: Also noticed that the cat that destroyed the plant pot and her kittens are in the episode title screen.

Komari must think Hotarun is a real food lover. First becoming obsessed over sweets, now onigiri.

The の in the graffiti of their play area is back to front.

Just how beautiful this anime is... That field trip being their teacher's rice field planting was hilarious xD Renge-chan is so cute. Natsumi being childish to relieve her frustration, and that nii-chan appeared out of nowhere xD Natsumi getting stuck as well while helping Komari was funny and esp. when they collided and Komari fell! xD

Komari getting scared and sleeping with Natsumi wa so cute. When Komari screamed, hahaha. They ran away, eating kitkat xD That memory was so heartwarming and later that cat scene too. Komari is a reliable sister in the end imo.

Another fabulous episode with that beautiful, mouth-watering art; it just makes my tuesdays better than ever. 10/10 (not holding back myself), it was so awesome; just how i like my anime. This is a masterpiece for me! Deserves to have a much higher score

As someone who has dropped series before for being too slow paced to enjoy, I can see why some people wouldn't like this for that, particularly from the first episode, even though even that one isn't particularly "bad" in that respect (hence the fact that I absolutely loved it). At the same time, someone wanting only that sort of thing might then be slightly disappointed by the increase in pacing in the rest of the episodes.

Though personally of course I agree that this should be rated a lot higher. For me this is undoubtedly the best anime of the second half of this year, and in with a good shot of being the best anime of the year. It's also the only series that has ever got onto my favourite anime list after just three episodes. Hopefully the score will go up as the series progresses (it's already risen a bit), and it will almost certainly go up when the series finishes. I wouldn't hold out for anything spectacular, though - it's fairly rare for an iyashikei series to do well on MAL.

The teacher being lazy and forcing her students to plant rice seedlings wasn't very nice off her especially after appearing with that machine.
The horror part was also funny to watch especially when Nanami got scared herself.
And the running was part showed some nice sisterly love.
