| It's been only 3 episodes and i'm already loving it. I thought it would be a comedy all the time, but Anzu's story changed my opinion completely. hahahahahahahahahaha The bar scene was fantastic! haha it was so good xD Hitomi the best barmen xD The reactions of her teacher were so funny xD And that ending, i feel bad for you Nitta xD at least she tried haha |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| This started funny but then picked up seriousness. Anzu in homeless life, this felt sad. Nitta sure will get mad with the mess but Hina's sudden stomachache, if it's a serious matter that she needed to be hospitalized, Nitta might instead be worried for her. |
 |
| This was an ok episode. It wasn't bad, I just enjoyed the first 2 more. The episode was kind of weird. |
| If Hitomi works just 3 hours a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks a month, she'll make more money than I do working 8 hours a day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks a month. She's in middle school. I'm a professionally qualified assistant auditor. Fuck me. |
 |
| It might just be me, but the bartender woman (Utako I think her name was?) was really irritating this episode. The way she snatched the money from Anzu was *understandable* since it was to make up for stolen goods, but when she blackmailed a middle schooler into working for her as a bartender?? Came off more as mean-spirited and predatory rather than funny. |

Yeah, fair enough. I guess it's just the way they portray her in the OP as becoming Hina's new "mother" figure that threw off my expectations. |
| made me tear when yassan was helping anzu yassan such a good guy :') i was sort of thinking thank god they didnt rape her, ( i see those a lot in hentai so ) it was so hilarious on the bartender part xD i knew utako was gonna trick her! xD lol hina trynna clean the house and then a cliffhanger he is so gonna freak out xD |
 |
| OMG! another great episode! It's very great that Anzu ended-up with the homeless group! It made Anzu definitely much better person compared to Hina...in terms of learned values/wisdom from those homeless! Hitomi's got top class bartender talent there! Hina made disaster again! LOLZ I wanna see Nitta's reaction! too bad it was cut off by the ED! 5/5. |

I guess it's just the way they portray her in the OP as becoming Hina's new "mother" figure that threw off my expectations. I actually find Utako's character very interesting. Early on they painted her out to be a good influence in Hina & Nitta's lives, giving Hina that pep-talk and going along with Nitta to the girly club (going so far as to close her own bar for the night!). And yeah, the OP scenes. But then we see her yelling that she hates the police, and then we see her do the pretty evil deed of tricking & blackmailing poor Hitomi. So she's no angel. But of course, myself, I'm now pretty conflicted on whether or not I like her character :-P Also yeah, these people work with the Yakuza, so despite them seeming decent much of the time they're okay with being criminals or working with criminals, so they can't be angels. This applies to Nitta too - when he goes out womanizing and leaves Hina with Mackerel its a good reminder that he has that side to his character as well as the caring side. I like it, it makes them both feel much more real. |

| Fantastic episode as usual Hitomi thought she was playing 3D chess but then saw Utako was playing 7D reverse backgammon lol |
 |
| Great episode. I love the Anzu and Hitomi part. Beyond one's expectations. |
| What the heck is this show. I'm losing my shit with Hitomi's parts. |
| Omg, I wasn't prepared for the feels, so heartwarming<3 That cliffhanger at the end tho lol, poor Hina |
 |
| Moral of the story: backups are crucial. Hitomi learned it the hard way. For better or worse, Utako has taken quite a liking to her. Hina's attempt of cleaning out the dwelling was amusing as well, for all the wrong reasons... |
| I am curious about something. Is the anime following the manga closely? This episode seemed like they adapted everything from the manga so i want to know it from someone who follows the manga. |

 |
| Third episode was quite fun to watch, i'm watching ep 4 right now. Anyways i loved seeing Anzu's character development, it was touching. Mishima's transformation to a perfect bertender was fun to watch as well. This anime turned out better than i expected it to be. It's fresh and entertaining. :) |

She's grow up to be an amazing person this way. Her character development is my favourite in this anime <3 |

| Hilarious exchange between Hitomi and Utako. Top 10 Anime Betrayals right there. |
 |
| I made it 2/5 through Anzu's part then skipped it, couldn't stand everything. Maybe later. I find it all a bit interesting that the show's dealing with rather...realistically...cuntish characters. Not that I'm completely liking it, but feels fresh in anime terms Hina's part was fun. |
| Hobo 101 life, Secret life and dependent life. All of them gave different feels. Utako is one hell of a woman. Poor Mishima XD |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| Amazing episode! Didn't expect this show to have a mature theme (the hard life of homeless people). Love it so far. The song was priceless. |
 |
| God I love this show. My favourite of the season so far by a long way |
| Wow! The story takes a turn that I did not imagine at the beginning, since in the previous episode was joking and laughing without thoughts, now even comedy the situation, begins to be more serious speech. Poor Anzu and Hitomi, but Hitomi gets better. |
 |
| Of the 3 shorts, the second, the Mishima story was the best!!! A student ended how Bartender, hilarious with the teacher!!!! |
| This anime is so brilliant, wow. Anzu has improved and the first segment was very touching. I think it portrayed the homeless community very well, which is rare in anime. Hitomi is surprisingly likeable so the second part was really fun too. And Hina was so funny in the last part. I don't usually like clumsy characters but she's just so lovable. Great episode, hope this anime keeps up at this quality! |
| The first segment hit right in the feels. Wow the bartender lady is a real p.o.s. |
| Anzu’s song is great! Hitomi, a bartender?! So stupidly funny! All the characters are hilarious and odd, makes this one unique show! |

| The homeless men could have use Anzu in a more useful way if you get what I mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) And the bartender part is so damn good LOL! |
 |
| So Anzu is a homeless now! The teacher is really stupid LOL Hina is a disaster! |
 |
| Poor Mishima got blackmailed into working as a bartender. I like how the homeless man is helping Anzu and I’m glad she was able to pay the people she stole from back. Another good episode. |
| This show is something else. I like how skillfully they are breaking all stereotypes and how serious the anime can get on a whim, no less to tell some tough stories. All that coupled with some equisite comedy. The homeless people part was really good and Hitomi's meeting with her teacher at the bar was also great. There is some gold hidden in this series. |
| Poor dude! Really has to live up with such a kid :'D and damn being blackmailed to be a bartender, boy this anime is really crazy! Really love the development though. Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Hitomi best girl. D |

| Hina is finished lmao |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| HOW DARE SHE FORCE AN UNDERAGE CHILD TO BE A BARTENDER! I'M CALLIN DA POLICE!!!! |
| Anzu be living the homeless life with the aid of the old guy who sold her out to Sabu. From what I heard, she certainly sings like a drunk which led to a very emotional and touching moment with the homeless people she now considers as her hobros. What's a more complicated situation than to have your homeroom teacher visit the bar you're blackmailed to work at while you're still in middle school and to prove to him that you're one of the best bartenders in Tokyo~? She might've started bartending because of the pressure but she ended up having a real knack for it. Hina tried cleaning to get on Nitta's good side and it didn't match with what she had in mind at all because she had to eat that bowl of Ikura that's been sitting in there for a while now and get stomach pain. Someone's gonna get disowned... |
 |
| I am really not feeling this one.. was the last bit with Hina breaking Nitta's expensive stuffs supposed to be funny? The emotional scene with Anzu was cringy.. the part with the middle schooler was okay but nothing spectacular.. Something like episode 2 would be nice, not episode 1/3.. Not only was Hina a freeloader, she doesn't even seem to care that she's breaking all the stuffs in the house.. that's not hers.. -.-; |

| Hina is me everytime I try to be productive, thats why I usually dont. Also, Bartender Hitomi needs her own anime. The homeless anzu part hits me right in the feels. Was not expecting this. PS: Im glad I finally picked this up. With not even 2 month left in 2018, Im aifraid it would have been cursed to be on my PTW forever, like every seasonal I miss and dont watch in the same year |
