| Ren-chon <3!!! Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD |
| The brother lacks presence... Undim said: Looks like Hotaru's secret is out of the closet. *badum tssh* |
| lol when his lack of presence is exactly the one thing that scares her |
 |
| This episode was clearly focused on the big brother- LOL I rewatched the first few scenes many times xD I did not expect this! http://i.imgur.com/zhecq3p.jpg he actually got scared before quickly recovering himself =P http://i.imgur.com/pYJINn5.jpg he's smiling! http://i.imgur.com/hUNDTAu.jpg |

Saburo-kun said: he actually got scared before quickly recovering himself =P http://i.imgur.com/pYJINn5.jpg Is that fear or just surprise that his sister is saying something like that? |

| Poor Hotaru's, grew so much in one year. I hope she stays like this for the rest of her life, or grow only 2-3 inches more. That indoor tag xD The closet, the closet! Glad that it worked well for Hotaru, thanks to Ren-chan That "Gu" XD That family play was so cute, Hotaru must be happy playing mom Poor Komari, got to be the scarer xD I just knew that it was onii-chan, haha. Is it just me that he is starting to appear more? At this rate, he might speak any episode :p HAHAHAHA, "Evil spirits begone" XD Another AMAZIINNNG episode, I am the no 1 fan of this series now! Damn, I would feel extremely bad and mad if this anime doesn't sell. Can anyone tell me how it is doing so far? |

| TragicRomance said: I would feel extremely bad and mad if this anime doesn't sell. Can anyone tell me how it is doing so far? Bad and mad? Let's hope not! Here are the number of "points" from Amazon Stalker. These includes both the Blu-rays and the DVDs. I am just picking and choosing a few anime series that interest me. Shingeki no Kyojin Volume 5 ............. 32718 points Bakemonogatari Volume 1 ............... 24970 points Free! Volume 4 .............................. 12030 points キルラキル Kill La Kill Volume 1 ............. 3389 points のんのんびより Non Non Biyori Volume 1 .. 2372 points Outbreak Company Volume 1 ............... 786 points ぎんぎつね Gingitsune Volume 1 ............. 743 points ガリレイドンナ Galilei Donna Volume 1 ...... 727 points ゴールデンタイム Golden Time ................. 645 points My mental choices... Volume 1 .............. 584 points Samurai Flamenco Volume 1 .................. 491 points COPPELION Volume 1 ........................... 466 points Tesagure!Bukatsumono Volume 1 ........... 433 points There are numerous other people here who are far better qualified to comment on these numbers. However, it seems to me that Non Non Biyori seems to be quite popular in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales. |

okanagan said: Bakemonogatari Volume 1 ............... 24970 points That should be Onimonogatari (the Shinobu part of Monogatari second season). And those figures are the current points which don't factor in whether the series' sales are getting better or worse, or how long it is since it became available/until release date. As for NNB I can personally attest to at least one sale of volume 1. Though fortunately it seems to be selling well enough that an individual sale has pretty much no statistical significance. For example, SnK 5 comes out next week whereas Onimonogatari doesn't come out until April. NNB, for comparison, comes out on Christmas day. |

| kuuderes_shadow said: That should be Onimonogatari... Woops! A careless and obvious mistake on my part. Thank you for explaining more about the true meaning of those numbers. Any way we slice it, it appears to be good news for Non Non Biyori and bad news for many other current series lower on the list. I speculate that the strong performance of Non Non Biyori in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales will justify a second season, and that is what the producer will announce at the end of the year. |

| Why must Non Non Biyori episodes end so fast? Another long week ahead of us... Hotarun is still as gay as ever, she is pretty obsessed with her beloved senpai. Go girl! 4/5. |
| 5/5 Wow, the authors have listened to my earlier appeal ... LOL Episode that much more fun narrative in the first phase, while in the second set, but thanks to Koma-chan and Ren-chon you save! Plot enough, without a hitch. Drawings and animations sufficient BGM nice. All the characters have proven themselves, the brother of Koma and Natsu, is growing. XD Scenarios well made, cute puppets made by Hotarun! : 3 Not the greatest as epic but a nice 5/5 deserve it! |

DannyREN said: Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD No, she just need a bigger closet so she can fit the real Komari inside :3 If Hotarun can also fit inside it would be perfect :D okanagan said: のんのんびより Non Non Biyori Volume 1 .. 2372 points YES!!! Outbreak Company Volume 1 ............... 786 points ぎんぎつね Gingitsune Volume 1 ............. 743 points ゴールデンタイム Golden Time ................. 645 points My mental choices... Volume 1 .............. 584 points NO!!! okanagan said: I speculate that the strong performance of Non Non Biyori in terms of Blu-ray and DVD sales will justify a second season, and that is what the producer will announce at the end of the year. Since this season of NNB is 20+ episodes long my hypothesis is that since they will cover most of the material of the manga their aim to make a movie at best, an OVA at least, wth 100% original content. They do not need to make an hour+ long feature, or are the days when they packed two anime movies into one ticket over? |
mangamuscle said: DannyREN said: Hotaru's obsession! She might need help XD No, she just need a bigger closet so she can fit the real Komari inside :3 If Hotarun can also fit inside it would be perfect :D To be honest, she probably could fit inside, at least without all those dolls in there. In fact the dolls probably take up more space than the real Komari. Worrying thought, that. Since this season of NNB is 20+ episodes long Pretty sure it's 12 episodes, actually. @Any knowledgable member about Amazon points Do these points represent the number of pre-orders they currently have? No - the points at the time of release are the estimate of the sales the release will get in the first week. The figure on the listing that was posted above is the cumulative point total which can only go upwards and gradually climb up to that total figure. The figure most people talk about is the prediction figure, which extrapolates based on the points accumulated over the past week to predict how many points it will have on release day. For Non Non Biyori the blu ray figure is 4598 and the dvd 637 for a total of 5235. The blu-ray was higher than that for a while but has dropped due to a rank drop on Saturday (which happens for this series every week) being particularly steep this week. Both sets of figures are updated once every hour. |

| Hi kuuderes_shadow. Thank you for the clear explanation. That helps. What I was reporting above were the 最新累積ポイント (latest cumulative points). But you say that people usually talk about 最終予測累積ポイント (predicted final cumulative points). And I certainly see why the predicted first-week sales is the more interesting number to quote. In the future I will certainly mention the 最終予測累積ポイント when trying to gauge how well a given series is doing. Right now I am still early in my process of trying to learn how to use Amazon Stalker. 最新 = saishin = latest / most recent / newest 最終 = saishū = final / last 予測 = yosoku = forecast / predict 累積 = ruiseki = cumulative / accumulated ポイント = pointo = point / points |

| Oh, look! Parents in anime exist! I have to say that this Armageddon looks undeniably familiar, tehehe ... Somehow I get why the brother never speaks. Too many crazy women around him in his family and at school *smh* The poor guy. |
| 01:25 "puraisuresu tesuto" LOL 02:22 nanoRIPE <3 03:40 raitoningu supeedo 07:06 what the... 07:47 MILF 10:04 "Non non!" Another great ep. 8/10. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. 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. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| After watching episode 20 of Monogatari S2, I just had to re-watch this for a bit of healing effect. I gotta say, NNB has the best fireworks animation I've seen to date. |

| Koma-chan cat eyes always fun to watch. (Reminds me so much of Chiyo's Dad in Azumanga, lol). |

Shirubaasouru said: 10:04 "Non non!" Ren chon actually says "non" quite a lot, thanks to her habit of adding 'n' to the end of the sentences. I wonder if that's where the series' name comes from. Other possibilities that I can think of include it sounding similar to 'nonbiri' (relaxed) or 'nonki' (carefree). Any other possibilities? Has it actually been confirmed? zellami said: Oh, look! Parents in anime exist! It's not exactly uncommon. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| According to the Japanese Wikipedia article for Non Non Biyori, when describing Renge, they say 語尾に「のん」をつけるのが口癖。 which basically means that she likes to add "non" to the end of her words. There is no explanation of what "non" means or why she does it. It can be thought to be her trademark or habit or pet phrase. In anime, it is often the case that a given character has a habit of speaking along these lines. Warning: The Wikipedia articles are full of spoilers. So I am always cautious about what material I take from Wikipedia and post here. In this case, I think it is okay. Another webpage said, す時、語尾に「のん」「○○なのん」「○○なんな～?」という語尾を多用するのが口癖。 ... which basically means that she will arbitrarily add "...nanon" or "...nannaa?" as well. So it is not just "non" that she adds, apparently. But "...non" is what is most often mentioned, and you can find this repeated many, many times on the internet. There is never any discussion of why Renge does it or what it means. As I write this, they are halfway through broadcasting Episode 7 in Tokyo. You can see five still images here: http://nonnontv.com/story/s07.html |

| Dat animation at the end. Very enjoyable like always. zellami said: Oh, look! Parents in anime exist! Yeah, they're pretty "rare" for some reason, lol. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| Hotaru's senpai obsession is really weird but also funny especially when she hide the dolls.Ren-chan's Gu plush xD Poor Komari,her mission as a ghost ended in failure. |
 |
| A very nice, '4/5' episode this time, just not quite up there with a couple of the previous episodes. Of course I found the reveal of Hotaru's Komari plushie obsession funny and it put a grin on my face, but perhaps it felt a bit predictable/typical of the show? Ah well, the 'playing house' game was funny and, as others have noted, the animation with the fireworks was brilliant, the sparkles and the smoke looked great! My slight nonchalance to this episode may just be a side-effect of watching nothing else atm. I'll probably dip back into Mirai Nikki for an episode or two before I continue this series. :) |
| "Get chance and luck!" |
| "Baka janai no?!" Is it just me or Asumi Kana's other characters said this before Koma-chan? Suguru.. He should be the scarer His lack of presence is amusing xD Well, his presence is better than Kagerou Usui afterall~ |
"Signature removed"   |
| Wouldn't the girls just ignore him if he were the scarer? Wouldn't be very effective really. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Another funny, and cute, and relaxing episode. Always loved the cicada sound. |

| Oh my god, Hotarun obscession for Koma-chan is getting out of hand xD That bravery test was funny :P The creepy brother at work. |

| Lol those plush toys xD Another lovely episode, let's see what's next! |
 |
| Hotaru is officially obsessed with Koma-senpai. I love how the brother is so unnoticeable Komari thought he was a ghost. The fireworks scene at the end was unusally relaxing.. |
| "Are you two there?" .....zoooooommmmm~ For how little he actually speaks, this brother character has managed to get a few good laughs out of me. This series just keeps charming me more and more with each episode I see. |
 |
| Please, Komari x Hotaru doujins. Please! |
| haha another great ep <3 |
 |
| All the komari plushies lmao. Entertaining episode as usual,my favourite part is when renge act as a flying fish and then pretending to be dying of dehydration,that was hilarious!The mute onii-chan with his escaping speed too! |

| I kinda understand why does Hotaru like Kuma-chan so much :3 that ghost brother though XD |
| Hotaru's growth is scary... |
 |
| So they went to her home, the closet with all those dolls was hilarious, good thing that no one suspected anything. |
| Re-watching. Natsumi is still best girl. I can't believe it's already been around a year and 3 months since this aired. |
| Hotaru's obsession is getting just a bit creepy lmao When Renge played house and was a fish without water LOL |
| They have a sister to sister sign language Ren-chou pretends to be a flying fish during a game of house |
 |
| I want a Koma-chan plushie!! :3 |
 |
| The sparklers were greatly animated, cute scene. Also when will we get the bro saying something? I bet, it's gonna be some funny shit when he talks the first time. xD Charming and funny all the way. |
| dolls were adorable damn the brother has ninja skillz |
