The manager is a strikingly human character.

And so the underwear was more than a running gag. Bravo. This is how you write an ending.

Yeah, a really good episode. Probably the most impressive one so far.

A lot of the characters in Rumiko Takahashi's series resemble each other... Godai's grandma looks a lot like Shampoo's grandmother in Ranma 1/2, doesn't she?

It was a fairly good episode. Poor Godai... XD

Yes, they do. As soon as I saw the grandmother, though, I immediately thought of Happosai.

That was a good episode. Godai has some weird dreams/fantasies though.

I don't get it. He finally passed an exam, and now he's in tears because she washed his underwear?

This show is just dumb, and not funny at all.

I know the feeling, once you've written off a show, each episode becomes torturous.
You start seeing flaws in everything about it, you start nitpicking every detail and grow to hate it more and more. You're too far gone now. Best to stop watching it.


Anyways, good episode again, surprisingly he passed.

Megumi Hayashibara's debut as a seiyuu is in this very episode. The beginning of quite a career.

Yes he passed, but I guess it was a given, otherwise the story would've ended.

Ans lol, grandma seems pretty fun.

"We were so worried we couldn't eat" I doubt that really happened

That grandma is the best, still can't believe he actually managed to pass his exam considering his environment

I thought they were gonna take down the results before he saw them when he was getting chased by his grandma. That would've been some bullshit. Thankfully that didn't happen.

All these people talking about Granny Godai's appearance and how odd she looks like compared to other characters of Maison Ikkoku, I agree. Now imagine if Kyoko would look like that if she reaches Granny's age eventually? 🤔

When your crush washes your underwear. I'm never taking them off. Kyoko is Wifey material.

I thought Godai was gonna fail cause he went 4 episodes being disruppted from his studies. Good that he passed.

I was cynical of the anime adding its own bits and twirls instead of adapting the manga panel-to-panel. But the underpants arc has completely deflected any hostility towards such little additions. Unironically, it goes well with the themes in the manga, as well as provide enough comedic relief as for a romcom anime.
