| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL, it's that bunny outfit again. Never ceases to amuse me whenever someone wears it... Cute episode though. I just love how they decorate and give the characters something to think about:  Karen was also just adorable except for the part where she fell off the bridge. I think that must of hurt a bit... |
 |
| Summer time, and time to change outfit. Trying out stuffed animal and heated up. Touyama-san's English!!! For some reason, she's staying. Two British girls fighting for helping out. Main girl sad about not being able to get into bathroom together. She made up, I guess?? Showing two Btitish girls' relations. Young British girl studying Japanese immediately after main girl left and ignored young Touyama-san's character, who caught in little accident but was still saved by British girl. Main girl worrying about the British girl to the extend that she didn't notice she's back!! lol~ |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I never imagined I could have a chance to see this moment. It was after midnight (JST) already and I thought of the upcoming Monday-morning blues. But now... Maybe I'll be okay today because It'll be golden. Anyway, Good night! |

| The feels in the second part of the episode. Lol Shino worrying about Alice after she's gone for half an hour. |
 |
| That was a large amount of English being spoken! Shino's gleeful face never gets old, she just looks really content. Alice really is like a big sister to Karen. It was quite the sweet moment with Alice finding Karen like that, and also at the end with Alice being worried whenever Karen sprained her ankle. The talk about who being which person's hero was also nice. |
 |
| My home country has never looked so good! ^_^ Nice to see a backstory with Alice and Karen. |
| Finally, I've been able to figure out where the England parts of Kiniro Mosaic, and it's al thanks to that street sign. I'm sure most people know already, but it's set in a village in Gloucestershire called Bilbury. Seems like a nice little place to go to. |
| Oh man the engrish was strong in this one, and also adorable! :D I'd watch an entire series of them speaking like that, complete with Karen's mom eating super yummy cake in front of her. :D Definitely my favorite Karen-heavy episode to date. Loved that last story with Alice saving her in particular. :) |
| as punishment Ill eat this yummy cake in front of you Spare ME !!!! |
 |
| Shino's "If We have Karen on the wall she'll push me and I'll be in heaven" then Alice replying "it'll be hell" was friggin hilarious XD |
 |
| I love Karen she is my favorite character!! great episode |
 |
| So Karen fears her mother when she is angry. Well seeing her father i guess one of the parents has to be strict on her. Still she has a lot of moving space seeing she can just stay somewhere else overnight after a fight. |

And following my inherent curiosity I used the wonders of Google to compare some of the locations from this episode. Bilbury Court Hotel    Arlington Row  Fosse Farmhouse - It's located 30 miles away from Bilbury.  Couldn't find the bridge Karen fell off of. |

| This episode had more Engrish than any other episode ever Thankfully it was Karen Engrish so that's not a bad thing |
  |
| Karen is quite the spoiled brat, though it was wrong on her father's part to not own up to his necklace fail. Karen does have good manners around Shino's mom, though. It was cute when Karen helps clean up the dinner dishes and Alice feels she has to pitch-in. The second half was adorable. Tōyama Nao does do a pretty good job with Karen's English lines. |
| The engrish is the best part of this show. I almost can't handle how cute it is. |
 |
| alice really does care for karen! love when they held hands at the end! and karen's opening...omg I just love karen... |
muur1234 said: but then it wouldn't be funny D:That was some very impressive English from their voice actors. Their lessons have paid off. They still sound too Japanese though xD. I just think if they're gonna play English characters, they should use English actors for the part, at least the English parts. |
| Touyama gotten good at her Engrish to be able to speak it that fast haha part B of the episode was like 80% English |
 |
| Lol Karen's "10 more minutes mum." And then Alice goes like "Fine, you get 10 seconds, 1- zzzzzzzzzz" XD Very cute episode, Karen is sooooooo cute~ Overall I loved the relationship shown between Karen and Alice. As a side note I liked when they showed Youko's little brother and sister sleeping next to her, I dunno why I thought that was a nice touch |

| The Engrish was out of control in this episode. |
| man Karen' mom engrish was jus terrible lol |
 |
| This Engrish was strong in this episode! Touyama Nao's rapidfire Engrish from the first part was totally impressive! Btw, the voice actors were really fluent with their English in the second part. And every single English/Engrish (yeah whatever xD) was super adorable! I'm going HHHNNNNNNNGGG-- all over it! <3 That punishment of eating that yummy cake in front of you. Oh, the torture... |
| Weekly Kiniro soooo hnnnnnnngh Less Aya this week but Alice and Karen deserve the spotlight for this ep <3 |
 |
| omfg Karen neeeds to speak more english and everyone needs to speak less. Touyama Nao god tier |
 |
| Anyday! Anytime! Any where! Genki desu! |
| That extended Engrish was pretty awkward to listen to. |
 |
| Pleasant and friendly as usual, narratively I liked the episode, because it is given more depth to the relationship between Karen and Alice, but there was also time to advance the story. I really comical moments are not missed even this time. Very relaxing atmosphere, with designs quite as good quality. Beautiful colors that give joy and calm, this anime is really a blessing. mwsmws22 said: danieltortoisee said: I'm sure most people know already, but it's set in a village in Gloucestershire called Bilbury.

Tank you very very much, I did not know these places, thanks again for showing me. ;) |
 |
| Wow. Engrish moe overload over 9000!! |
| By the way, when Karen said it was okay even if she had a hundred guests, Alice answered back, "It sounds not very big for some reason." That was a reference to a TV advertising by a storage shed maker. They says their sheds are so sturdy that even one hundred men can sit on the roof at a time.  A picture from the maker's website (http://www.inaba-ss.co.jp/).  |

It's amazingly well done - someone obviously spent hours of their time making this look just the way it does in real life. Once again, a nice episode. I kind of miss it when Aya and Youko don't get their screen time, but with the title of next week's, I have high hopes! Maybe they'll go to the beach this time...? It was a completely different approach, focusing on the relationship between Karen and Alice for once - you keep forgetting that they're from the same place and share a childhood. It's always nice having flashbacks in series like this - felt very natural. Now, why is Sunday so far away... |

Karen and her engrish :3 It's nice to see Alice and Karen's childhood times. I felt sad for a second, my poor Karen. I laughed too much while Alice was counting to ten at waking time. I found myself at there xD |
 |
| so much engrish in this episode, awesome. |
 |
| This was probably the best episode since the musical episode from season 1. The English parts were very well done. I had no trouble to understand most of them without reading the subs, except for the very fast spoken part. Also Aya with her hair down... |

This episode had Japanese subtitles so that the most important main target audience had no problem to understand the story and Alice and Karen's conversation. Their lines were appropriately controlled to the audience. I'm very sorry if you couldn't read the subtitle written in Japanese when you watched the original episode without English subtitles. But if so, it is a problem of your language ability. Not theirs. In addition to this, if you watched the CR version that had the English subtitles CR superimposed on the Japanese letters, you should have no difficulty with this episode -- except when you couldn't read English either. Also, even if that was the case, it is still your problem, not theirs, I suppose. I know most of you pleased with their cute Engrish lines and never meant to complain about the inaccuracy of them -- far from it! Still, the insinuating terms such as Engrish, Moon language are not preferable to many cases. lolwut. I'm not even complaining about it. And I watched it on Crunchyroll. |
| Wow they have a lot of English conversation this time although is not that good but at least they said the whole sentence !! |
| This episode was way too cute. Really nice. Also the engrish is getting better, especially Karen's. And wow, I'm amazed it's an actual location. I was thinking the background was really beautiful and I'm surprised it exists in real life - and it looks amazing! I'd like to go and visit such a place. |

htsuji said: Mormegil said: lolwut. I'm not even complaining about it. And I watched it on Crunchyroll. It's quite simple matter of politeness. There are some strong belief with the English and some other European language speakers that only their language is the righteous and civilized way for humans to communicate. This belief is so widely spread over the certain hemisphere of the Earth that even the scientists or mathematicians are reluctant to listen or pronounce non-European words. I don't know why but possibly it may be a kind of a religious freedom. These days, a certain country approved the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to justify good people's special activity against heretics. I wouldn't be surprised if CR becomes another 4Kids Entertainment in near future because considerable number of Western audience tend to pay few attention about this kind of matter because they don't pay respect to or even despise non-European language to begin with. Do you think "Engrish", "Moon Speak" were coined to express politeness to someone? The word "Engrish" is used as a joke most of the time. And of course politeness doesn't go hand in hand with jokes. Jokes will almost always be offending to some people. If there is anything wrong with the way it is, it is the way we grew up in a "highly civilized society" that preaches freedom of speech that doesn't only negate anything that would give protection to others' culture, norms and religions, it encourages behaviors that are meant to be offending. Despite knowing that, I still use that word being well aware that it may offend someone but my intentions are almost always to show my affection rather than demeaning someone. Coming back to the anime: God! I love their Engrish! It's incredibly sweet. I could listen to Karen and Alice conversing in Engrish all day long. <3 Disclaimer: This is not always the case, however. Sometimes I do use the word in the sole purpose to demean a character notably in shoujo anime when the girls in the class go "Kyaaa! A-kun's English pronunciation is so good!" when it simply isn't. There is difference in being fluent and being able to pronounce properly. =_= |

| Alice and Karen are so cute together! I wish we could see more of their past. |
 |
| My weekly dose of Engrish strikes again! Lovely episode, I enjoyed those background stories from their past so much! |
| Hooooolllyyyyyy wow. This episode was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Engrish, Engrish, and more Engrish! It's so adorable <3 And that story of their child hood was sooooo sweet! Really, really awesome episode ^.^ |
| Karen's so adorable! Very funny episode. I enjoyed the flashbacks and the character's English. |
 |
| Lol at Karen's penalty. Glad she's in good terms with her parents now. Awesome flashback. The friendship of Alice and Karen is quite strong. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| Dat Karen OP <3 When Shino was so excited about having Karen sleep with her, and that she would still be in heaven if she fell on the ground lmao. And later that "Can't be helped, I will give you 10 secs. Ichi... *goes to sleep*" moment. double the lmao. All that english, dat marvelous voice-acting (esp. on Karen's part) and dat sweet back-story. Just beautiful. One of the best episodes of this show. |
