| The grandfather made the whole episode, dude should have his own show. Not a bad episode a bit slow paced maybe. |
 |
| Grandpa was awesome. Wish I had one like him. |
LightningRamiel said: For some reason though, I got the feeling he wasn't thinking of Manami specifically when he said he'd turn the person down. He's just too oblivious to even fathom the idea that his childhood friend loves him. But other than that, all the rest of his lines pretty much spelled out "I'd love to live with someone like you". A normal and peaceful family life with no complications. Plus he did say he wanted to go to college with her and keep their friendship. If this wasn't an anime I dare say she had him in the bag.I don't HHNNNNNNGGGGGGG over a lot of of things, but this episode almost constantly had me on the verge of moe-induced cardiac arrest. If anyone deserves the "can't be this cute" moniker, it's Manami, by far. The bath conversation was great. Still, while I often wanted to punch Kyousuke for not realizing Manami's feelings, I can sympathize with his wish for simplicity and stability. Then again, he's still pretty dense for not getting it when Akagi called him out on his relationship with her. Friggin' tsundere. |

| Great episode! Manami was pure win this episode, she definitely rose in the rankings! And Grandpa was hilarious! Rock was awesome... "You're a real man" "So cool, Rock!" Somehow he reminded me of Yusuke? Urahara Out!! |

It was nice seeing Kirino kick the Kyousuke's door whenever she passed by, kicking it multiple times to second time around :P Also, when she kicked his chair when he didn't come home for dinner. Calling him a baka a whole bunch of times was cute :P The scene when they were talking about getting together in the bathtub was priceless ^_^ The grandfather is absolutely hilarious! His pranks, and trying to get together Kyousuke and Manami, and the rest of his shenanigans :P I really love this series. It is the type of series that I wish would go on forever and ever, and I could just watch whenever I want. It is one of the series that I enjoy the most, and would love to continue seeing more of. |
| They're not really backing down from the "Kirino is secretly in love with Kyousuke" angle, are they? Geez. Boring episode otherwise. Hopefully next ep is more otakulicious. Akagi and Manami's bro are cool. |
| I need a Manami doll...that girl is too adorable! What a wonderful episode...Manami X Kyousuke ftw! |

PseudoJordan said: The "let's take a bath together" scene was priceless; this is probably my favorite episode thus far. I agree, that scene was priceless and this is also my favorite episode so far. "I'll show you my hyper-weapon!" XD I love Manami 's reaction from that conversation. Manami is so adorable and her grandpa is really hilarious with his pranks. |
 |
| Now that was definitely cute. And I loved Kirino being tsuntsun. |
 |
| It was okay. The sister played for too stereotypical tsundere for my taste. They really didn't need to keep going back to show how jealous she was getting after him being away for a day. |
HawthorneKitty said: Okazaki Tomoya is such a gentleman. I don't see the relevance with Clanned. Speaking about gentleman. Kyousuke should have walked on the stairs first and not looked under Manami's skirt. Men always go first on stairs, that's common etiquette. Iilia said: I think so as well Manami seems more like a sister figure to Kyousuke then a potential girlfriend.ClementIV said: Kirino really does care about her brother, that's why. I'd prefer to believe it's in an appreciative way rather than an... incestual way.I enjoyed this episode, Kyochan you are a ladies man! I wonder why Kirino acted like she was mad/sad that he was not there. I wonder if she wanted to play a game with him or something but there is defiantly something going on there. Kyou and Manami would be a nice pairing, but somehow I doubt it will end up that way. Personally i think Ayase has the most chance of becoming Kyousuke girlfriend, but she seems to be hiding feelings for Kirino. So maybe in the end even a yuri relationship between Ayase and Kirino could be a possibility. And i somehow think that Kyousuke will end up with a other girl which we haven't seen yet, there is still allot that can happen. Iilia said: Putting up with the nagging of your little sister is the job of a older brother.Wasabi said: Lmao, this post is WIN.An episode not focusing on the ungrateful tsundere brat!? How shocking yet refreshing. Kyousuke definitely deserved some time off from having constantly put up with Kirino's shit and this episode gave it to him. |
| Did you notice how grandpa said "mengo" instead of "gomen"..... lol Compared to the majority, i actually liked this episode, and i like how they concentrated on 'these' two :) We all know this is not gonna be a wincest story... or will it :P But LOL, imouto was so funny and cute with her little kicks~ I LOVED this episode! The grandparents are the greatest opposites of cockblock evaaaaar~ XD |
| jealous kirino is cute (in the hot way :O) |
 |
| For a second there I thought the pic in the ED was Sae from Hidamari lol. |
 |
| lol jealous kirino xD |
 |
TrueUchiha said: jealous kirino is cute (in the hot way :O) Agree with you there. I enjoyed seeing Manami's family but I want more Kirino. The scene of her in the bathtub was the best. |
| I just want to start off by saying that I've loved Manami from her first appearance. She has that classic cute appeal to her that kinda wreeks of ordinary, but special in her own little way. Thus bringing me to the fact that I personally think this was the best episode. (^.^) (Don't hate me because I love the fact that she and Kyou should really be a couple) <- Yeah, that's my emotions getting the best of me. Oh well! Truthfully though, I really did enjoy this episode. There wasn't any parts of the episode that I could redicule, besides Kirino's attitude at the most random parts. Besides that, I loved this episode mostly because I randomly love Manam. Manami and Kyou make a great pair, and Kirino wasn't brought in between them for the dumbest reason. The end. (^.-) Kind of looking forward to the next! :S ... Something about a novelist? :( |
| manami so freaking adorable jump on her Kyou-chan XD anyways it was a good episode |

Same voice actor and how the Kyousuke and Tomoya are kinda similar. dancu said: manami so freaking adorable jump on her Kyou-chan XD anyways it was a good episode I was surprised how much i liked this episode, i didnt really like manami at first but.. hmm not bad at all ;D. But Still.. Kirino FTW, tsuderes ... idk i just like em. Im sad that its already 1/2 way done :( DAMNIT |

| Manami is cute but I have to admit that I didn't care for her in the beginning. She is very soft spoken and innocent and looks cute with Kyosuke but I find her boring compared to Kirino (of course I don't want any incest either). However, I did find it refreshing to get away from the tsudere once in a while. Entertaining episode. |

They get my vote as one of the best (potential) couples of the season so far. (amongst past ones such as Shichika x Togame or Recruit x Nino) |
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? |

How shocking yet refreshing. Kyousuke definitely deserved some time off from having constantly put up with Kirino's shit and this episode gave it to him. What Kirino shows is hardly just simple "nagging". She is so ridiculously tsuntsun that it's unbearable. Kyousuke saved her ass so many times and all she does is completely blow a gasket. Not to mention she can't even get herself out of trouble and needs him to "take responsibility" for everything. I mean really, he's defending her otaku hobby against Ayase in the last episode and when she comes and starts screaming her head off, she still eyeballs Kyousuke to to make everything right when confronted by Ayase. She just seemingly can't do anything at all without needing Kyousuke to cover for her and she shows no sign of respect. But of course once she says "thank you" and blushes and goes all deredere at the end of the series, everything is a-oay. Tsunderes like her are just terrible. |

And yes, it was quite refreshing to see the show didn't follow that cursed trend of having the intended romantic pairing interrupted in some idiotic fashion.

Something about a novelist? :( That said, the episode was truly needed after all those really misleading episodes leading to Kyosuke being labeled a sis-con. It serves as a reminded to the viewer that Kyosuke is not really interested that way. He really is just a nice guy. That said, even though it des kind of look like Kirino does have something more to her with all those scenes, I'd like to think she just wanted some attention. She's like a kid in a lot of ways. |

Lefake said: LoL at that grandpa and his zombie pranks. Also, who the hell falls UP when having a heart attack? Aww...Manami is so cute. She'd be the perfect waifu for Kyousuke. Sadly, I'm still rooting for Kirino. Nachotee said: Now that was definitely cute. And I loved Kirino being tsuntsun. I really enjoyed this episode, but I wanted more Kirino as well. I liked the way they kept going back to her and her little reactions.... The moments between Manami and Kyousuke were nice...but....yeah...no |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| I loved the paring of ManamixKyousuke... She is jsut soo cute that made me a little bit jealous xD |
 Made by me xD  |
| The short kirino scenes left me in stronger fluffy mood than it should have, loved it lol. |
 |
| I am disappointed in this guy. I mean shes was kinda begging him to take advantage. |

| The episode turned out to be much better than I thought. Never really warmed up to Manami before because she seemed so plain and a even little creepy, but my impression of her was turned around in this episode. I can see why they get along so well together and she's actually pretty cute. She really likes him and so do her grandparents. Her grandfather was too funny. If he really wants a peaceful life, the solution is right in front of him. It's interesting that he told his friend that he doesn't have romantic feelings for Manami but wouldn't want her to get a boyfriend either. That's a pretty selfish attitude actually, particularly for someone as self-sacrificing as he's been. In that respect, it feels very similar to how Kirino is with him. It will be interesting to see how that dynamic evolves. Kirino's newest acquisition most likely influenced my view, but the ED picture seemed like it was made to be put onto a Dakimakura. |
 |
| Hmmm, interesting because I did not expect a whole lot from this episode.. NEXT: So Kirino is a novelist? |
     |
| Awesome episode. I really like Manami, very adorable. And lol'd at this episode exploring Kirino's tsuntsun more. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| great episode. Really hope they pull through. Just got done reading 'the flower of evil'. dont want this anime to end like that... |
 |
| inb4notrelated... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

| The grandpa sneaking out under the table during the bath skit gave me a chuckle. |
Sucrose said: The grandpa sneaking out under the table during the bath skit gave me a chuckle. This xD i was like "He was over there the whole time?? LMAO". Best scene IMO xD tsundere brocon Kirino was cute... and all you people that think she's not a brocon just go read the novels ~w~ (or Seanver's summaries if you don't know japanese, like me xD) Anyways, Manami is so friggin' cute >w< Kyou is just too oblivious not to notice that. |
| Holy fuck Grandpa was awesome. |
 |
| LOVED this episode. Manami was way too cute and that family was really down to earth and hilarious (especially the grandpa). Most natural anime episode I've seen. |

Yes i like it too. So now the question is who will be chosen by kyousuke ?? is it kirino or Manami or ayase ?? |
 |
| after watching this, I feel like swapping my family for Manami's :P |
| http://www.youtube.com/users/ssdrwh0 Yes... I am currently making "Not Another Abridged Series" |
yeah,Jimiko was too cute from the beginning the op this epi ...and loony Kirino gif |
 |
| This episode was kind of iffy to me, especially since I've been checking the online video links every couple of hours since Saturday morning for the subs.. I never really liked Manami. They always seem to play her out as the "kind, gentle, shy, one-sided-love/Hyuuga Hinata of Oreimo". Plus she has an obnoxious voice, imo. I liked "Rock" though. What a boss. |
