Kirie was cute and funny, as always. Ebina was cute, too, but her empty eyes were scary! lol
Looks like Hikari already knew Taihei and wants him to be her onii-chan and Umaru is getting jealous... Interesting.

Hikari asserts her dominance on Umaru over Taihei.

God I can't take any more of Ebina, she is so annoying :S I would also be happier if Taihei got together with Kanau instead, she seems like a better person for her :/

Hikari was better than I thought she would be, but we'll see in the next episodes how annoying her clinging will be :'D

I already hate this fucking loli. She is so ugly and stupid. The show doesn't need more characters, especially annoying little shit like her.

I like this episode. People are starting to show their appreciation of Taihei's hardwork. Still, I prefer Kanau over anyone.

This is turning into some character development SoL I didn't expect it to be lol. Not that it's a bad thing.
Kirie is growing as a character, Taihei appreciation episode, and yeaah I'm not sure what's the point of adding a brocon rival character.

I love how Umaru, Ebina, Kirie and Sylphyn have become such good friends.

I didn't have a good feeling about Kongo at first, but maybe she will change my mind... We'll see how it goes.

"Kindness like this reminds me of Ebina." Thinking about it, Kirie has warmed up to Ebina. But I've always wondered why she was jealous of Ebina hanging out with Umaru. It feels more like she should be more jealous at Sylphyn trying to constantly get Umaru's attention.

There's a short montage and there's a scene where Kirie's wearing Umaru's hamster hoodie, but the small version of it. Like, Umaru's hoodie changes size when she does. Like, how does that work? I'm overthinking this.

Damn, they drunk till morning. And like, "the Sun is out morning" and not 4 AM. Taihei and Bonba/Bomber low-key hardcore drunkards, TBH.

Kirie is such a relatable character to me, lmao.

Thinking about it, the reason Kirie stopped being jealous of Ebina being close to Umaru is because she knows that Ebina likes Umaru's brother instead.

Umaru definitely changed if you compare her from the 1st episode of the 1st season. From no close friends to 3 close friends. It's just that her development's subtle.

Taihei's really generous despite seeing Sylphyn's house, lol.

This episode's called "Umaru and Hikari" but we only see Hikari towards the last part.

We don't know what's with Hikari's deal, but it takes next level jealousy if you're jealous of someone's younger sister.

"There's no way a little girl like this could eat three of them." Umaru's small form is smaller than Hikari, LOL. Unless if Umaru's small form is just a metaphor but the anime definitely shows her as literally shrinking and the other characters indeed see her as smaller.

Pretty much all of the younger sisters in this anime call Taihei "onii-chan." Not really that weird since I live in an Asian country where some people would call older guys they aren't close to as "elder brother." Although I guess the -chan suffix from the get-go is indeed kinda weird.

Bomber just realized that that girl in the beach was his sister hahah. Now Kirie wants Ebina and Taihei together but in the firework festival nothing happened between them, also every friend of Umaru likes him in a way or another. Despite her name is in the title of the episode she had very small screentime, refering to Hikari who also calls Taihei in that way, she will be a recurrent character?. More about Kirie and her brother past, she had a good relation with him but is no longer the case, I wonder what happened and I hope to have answers. This episode was very good because Kirie appeared a lot.
