| I can't be the only person picking up a slight Michael Jackson vibe on this patient, if for nothing else than the outfit and being a former child star. |

| I lol'd pretty hard at the whole nipple thing. |
 |
| Worse patient so far!and I don't get why did he do that in the end... -.-" |
| I didn't really care for the episode. Nothing got resolved really, and even though it said to be continued (more abruptly than the others) we're getting a new guy. |
| I laughed pretty hard when he ripped off his shirt. This is probably the weakest episode yet, but it was still quite entertaining. |

That's the sad truth, very small developments and no resolution really here. More than that, no improvement for this patient from his initial state in the episode. Well, it was funny at least. |

     I didn't want to hurt you but you're pretty when you cry. I didn't really love you but I'm pretty when I lie. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| That nipple thing was pretty funny, I laughed when he ripped his shirt apart. |
TheTsunami said: I can't be the only person picking up a slight Michael Jackson vibe on this patient, if for nothing else than the outfit and being a former child star. the first thing i noticed lol |
| I thought that this was going to be really good. I don't understand how they just let him revert back to his old behavior. Sure it was by chance, but I feel like all that effort he went through was for nothing. |
 |
| AS Fukuichi explained he had his problem solved. His problem was the constant smiling and he learned to do something that he did incounsciously when he wants to do it. It became funny because of that and he got a job in a variety show. He also learned that his image doesn't matter. But the ep was weak. The only good parts were Irabu hitting on the manager and getting turned off when Hiro laughed after the injection. |
| Enjoyable but I agree, it was one of the weaker episodes. I still laughed at quite a few places though :) |

I think they have made the developments and resolutions nice in all episodes. If you want the patients to get cured I think you are asking to much. That would be way strange if all characters just got cured. It's a long way to go irl. And "to be continued" doesn't have to mean that you will see Hiromi again. As I said I think this anime is really good. It's interesting and actually funny sometimes. That's me, laughing at others behaviours and diseases. :( |
| I didn't say 'cure,' I said 'resolution.' A lot of the disorders haven't been cured, since, as has been stated by what's his face with the interjections, thinking that drugs will solve the problem is not correct. The yakuza guy is still ocd about edges, he just realized that everyone is crazy about something and that he can only take it one day at a time. The point is, that most of the characters had come to a point of clarity on their problems, allowing them to move forward, and I didn't feel that with this patient at all. The abruptness of the ending only intensifies my feeling of a lack of resolution. I think we will see Hiromi again, just not as the focus character, since this is the way the show has gone so far. This doesn't mean that I think the show is bad, because my previous comments don't support that thought. I just think it was a misstep that sticks out compared to all of the others. |
| creepy smile O-O |
| Yes, I have to agree with most of these posts. This episode had potential to be amazing, but turned out to be pretty mediocre. But still, Irabu forever. |
 |
| naah, 2 episodes left, i want moar ichiro!! D: |
| quite a weak episode :\ i laughed when the patient tapped his nipples lmao xD 3/5 |

| Decent episode. Made me laughed at some parts esp. the nipple and shirt ripping. LMAO But not as great as others though. At least, his resolution was quite different from others which was a good thing. :) Irabu hitting the manager was funny. lol |

 |
| A less good episode imo but well the ending was shocking :p |
 |
| Dem tears this episode. That innocent smile at the 19:07 mark was totally out of it though lol. |
 |
clannad4ever said: i laughed when the patient tapped his nipples lmao xD This, but that's it. I didn't like the episode, and this is the first episode I didn't like from this show. The patient was kinda retarded at the end, I thought he reverts back to his child mentality or something, due to the shock of being laughed at, even though this is clearly not the case. |

noteDhero said: His narcissism was hardly a problem until it started messing up with his career, but now that it's become manageable, it's not longer a problem and therefore by Irabu standards, no longer requires treatment. Yes, he may simply reflect his younger self (childish and usage of smiling as a comedic element) but Irabu's job is not to say, "make people better", as that route is often tediously difficult and often causes more problems than it will solve.I didn't say 'cure,' I said 'resolution.' A lot of the disorders haven't been cured, since, as has been stated by what's his face with the interjections, thinking that drugs will solve the problem is not correct.

| That guy was creepy. This episode ended kinda... weirdly. As if something was missing. o__o |
 |
| Meh, this one was bland because he did not change at all. Did not learn a thing from what it seems like. |
 |
| is it me or this is getting crazier with each episode? |
  |
| A bit disappointing. The next ep looks good though. |
| Glad he found a use for his talent again. It's sad seeing a child star forgotten by time. |
 |
| Those pictures of himself on his shelf cracked me up. |
 |
| Awww, instead of throwing the "image" away It's better to embrace it 100x more I guess in a way, I can see there are lots of ex-child actors suffering from this kind of sickness Maybe that's why a lot of ex-child actors become comedians |
"Signature removed"   |
| The opening scene showed the friends of that guy from ep. 6 in the audience I think I've seen Atsuko somewhere in the previous episodes. I think she liked Hiromi. Were they in a relationship or not? Also that scenario for "Wings of Love", I remember Itabu showing it in ep. 4. During the audition scene one of the papers said that Junichi Hoshiyama (ep. 3) was the scriptwriter! Also noticed that Irabu's suit color has been changing since the first episode...white, red, pink, blue, black... I wonder what's the reason for this new injection scene P.S. That bed scene on the script when the man changed to a seal was WILD |

| I kinda got second-hand embarrassment from this episode. |
| I feel like the last few episodes haven't been as satisfying as the first few. Starting from the yakuza with a fear of sharp objects, none of the patients have really had proper resolutions, they just luck into having a better life which just feels off to me. I'm not saying every problem should be solved within an episode but it just feels like Irabu's messing with them for a while and then just saying "It'll all work out somehow" and then it does. |
| The clothespins on the nipples seriously, that 1st scene with that was incredibly weird xDD |
 |
| Yeah, probably one of the weaker ones but still a good episode. I don't have much to say on this one as opposed to the others, but the moment where Hiromi exposed himself and the nipple pins was hilarious, especially Irabu's reaction to it. As well as the Seal having sex imagery, both were great bits. I'm guessing the ending is probably going to be continued on in the series finale. |
