| Love the show but didnt like the episode =( |
This episode was Tomoe eccentric and told more than enough about her circumstances of forced marriage, which is really pitiful because I never liked any forced marriage. This episode had 2 amazing comedic moments. Of whom concerns those survival guys in the following, those guys got me cracked up more than anything during the Minko rice ball tasting in the spoiler Those guys are really the pros to sneak near Ohana while she was bathing and unfortunately they got caught by Tomoe. Another equipment to mention they use is the side gun camera. There was a movie made about them being used. They are killer because I can see you before you see me to shoot in corners. Nice vision goggles but unfortunately my eyes hurt when I figured out the legs belonged to Mr Novelist. Unfortunate for him that he got caught in the shots and that in the end he got KO down. What really impressed me with those guys apart from their determination to play their game and their arsenal is that they listened to Tomoe as well as even saluted her in the spoiler About Tomoe, she really cracked and she is the reason of my LOL hard #2. It happened exactly in the following,  as she hosed down those survival game people and of course lovely Nako/Ohana shining towards Tomoe's determination in the spoiler BTW loved seeing Ohana in bath towel in the spoiler About miscellaneous stuff, well Minko's face was sure angry at the fact that they did not eat the prepared meal but that is until she found out that the army guys only eat military food rations. I am wondering WTF are those things on Tomoe's face. About preview, looks like episode 8 will be the shit turning point mainly because grand mother is getting sick and OMG holy shit @ Kou is coming to see Ohana! Scream! Yes! Stuff might pick lots and considering the Chef freaks out about something, I so want to know about all that. |

| There is nothing wrong in going wild with some psycho in it when you want out of all this. Funny stuff it all backfires. Oh the ROFL of that! |
| I enjoyed this episode a lot. I was smiling the whole time. :) |

| Nice episode. |
 |
| I was smiling from start to end. With all those commands, it gets funnier when you remember that Mamiko Noto is the one voicing Tomoe. Drama next week, can't wait! |
| ''Et tu, Brute?'' orz Even though I expected this episode to be kinda silly ever since I had seen its title in the last ep's preview, I was nonetheless disappointed. That is not to say I hated it or anything but in Hanasaku Iroha terms it was meh. Well, serves me right for getting my hopes high for this anime. Still, all is not lost; judging by the preview next week should be a lot better. 3/5 |
 |
| Best ep of the season so far. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| Tomoe is an awesome character to this show. I would've cried if she quited being a waitress at the inn. |
| My heart is so fukken warm now. I can't take it, i love this show. Great to finally see more of Tomoe, she's awesome. And Minchi was so great this episode, even though she had a little appearance. It seems like Ko's gonna visit next episode, can't wait for some development between Ohana and him. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| So wait, Tomoe just pulled of all those crazy antics, in an attempt to drive out those military geeks so they never come here again and get herself fired in the process, only for it to end up being good thing!?! Woah, just Woah. Oh and Kou-chan's finally gonna come see Ohana. Hopefully we can get this relationship started. I don't really want an Ohana x Tohru ship as it will only cause more angst/hatred on Minko's side. |
 |
| imho, that episode was kinda boring unlike the last one. :/ |

I heard military rations are pretty bad tho i never tasted them myself which makes me wonder are they really as bad as they say they are? And are there really people in this world who like them when there is other food available? Give your parents 10 or 15 years and see what they say about grandkids then. rodac said: I am lucky military service isn't forced here anymore as it would have been hell for me and i am not just talking about the rations which would have contributed tho.Yes. rodac said: People have some weird diets and i wonder why there health isn't effected by it at times, tho when there health gets effected it can get pretty bad.A few. But then I once had a brother-in-law who lived on hotdogs and popcorn (and looked it), so just about anything is possible diet-wise. The key is that those guys were in the throes of re-enactment. Think of it as the equivalent of an rpg convention where everyone is dressed as hobbits and orcs and speaks with what their conception is of a medieval accent. Their reaction to what Tomoe did is roughly what the reaction of a group of otakus would be if the waitresses at the Holiday Inn where a convention was held suddenly started doing cosplay. And indeed some people have strange hobby's but as long as they don't hurt or bother anyone else with it there should not be a problem and there free to do as they want. |
Aversa said: OMG no! Shitting and sleeping outside is terrible compared to being at home. That's why those guys are wannabe army people. They like the intense action but not 24/7 like in the army. Get why this is popular? You can have all the fun without the crap to deal that the military may be for some.rodac said: I am lucky military service isn't forced here anymore as it would have been hell for me and i am not just talking about the rations which would have contributed tho.Yes. |
| Holy Sh*t, Mamiko is awesome... oh wait... I mean Tomoe-nee-san is awesome. "Ok, baby! Get some!" P.S. They should really give Mamiko more of this kind of role because it can show how capable she is. |

| Its was enjoyable though really felt like i was watching a side story to the show XD |

While if they joined the military they would have been send on training to places like Norway or Alaska where they would have to sleep in tents while it's minus 20 degrees celsius outside. Or the would get send to Afghanistan or Iraq to hunt down Taliban fighters in the middle of the desert. They just want to good parts not the bad parts. |
| Geez people complaining about how boring this episode is. All they want is love and drama and shit. Tomoe is an awesome side character. And this episode had the wonderful message of trying to do something with your life, especially when you are getting older.. having self doubts about your ambitions plus it gives a deeper insight into the relationship Tomoe has with her colleagues. Though it wasn't executed perfectly (wtf is up with those players), I didn't think it was necessarily bad. |
| i think this was one of the best episodes to date, i think this is because it was a generally funny episode. |
| Tomoe was awesome, Ohana and Nako were way too Kawaii at the end. |
| Nice to see an episode about Tomoe! The whole ordeal with the Survival Gamers was pretty silly, but pretty funny at the same time. Those two saying nee-san to her was indeed really cute! =) Shit is about to get down next episode. Seems like something's wrong with the landlady. Kouichi seems to be on his way as well! =O |

| OMG NEXT WEEEEEK!! KOU-CHAN IS IN THE TRAIN!!! hahaha, I wonder where he is going 8) omg, I am soooo excited! a week to go and kyaaaaa! |
| Really nice episode. It was great seeing more of Tomoe, and the survival gamers added a lot of humour without ever pushing it. The comical effect was a byproduct of the main story instead of being forced, which made it all the better. Especially funny when Jiroumaru was getting riddled with pellets in the bath. xD I'm predicting it won't be long before we get an episode like this on Nako as well, seeing how she's the only one who hasn't gotten one yet. The best part of the episode was the preview though. I've been looking forward to Ko showing up for a long time now. |

waiting for the drama.... |
| This episode spoke to me since I also feel like my life has lost all its youthful energy. And I'm only 18. ;_; |
| Loved the episode. No Yuina this week made me sad, but a Noto Mamiko-featured episode more than makes up for it. I would hate for this show to turn into just another "love triangle" show, the fact that it's a) 26 episodes and b) has so many dynamic characters makes me definitely wish they continue to explore every possible angle of SOL they can, delve into each of the individual characters in a way that suits their personailty (just as this one did quite effectively), from over the top comedy to drama, outrageous situations to serious stuff. The thing about SOL is that it IS versatile and can go from an episode like this weeks, to a "serious" episode like the one that it seems we'll have next week. If you want another "love triangle" show go rewatch True Tears or something :P |
| Loved it. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| i thought that Lady was about 30 years old but talk about marrying . she must be not above 28 xD |
 |
| Absolutely loved it, Tomoe is cool especially with the water assault XD That was really funny~ I hope Kou-chan is indeed coming to visit Ohana in next episode~ |
 |
Yeah it had similarity with her at few moments. That makes her awesome actually. I don't know why people have a problem with this episode. Tomoe was awesome. Actually she might be the best character. Her considerations where also a lot more important than the game of "he loves me he, loves me not" little schoolgirls play and still she handle them with such a fun attitude. Tomoe rocks. Fuck the erotic triangles and the stupid shoujo things with Tooru. Besides the first episodes that everyone said where awesome weren't about silly romance drama ether. Eternal_Shield said: i thought that Lady was about 30 years old but talk about marrying . she must be not above 28 xD WTF??!! Why when you are 30 you suddenly stop having any plans to marry? What's the big difference between 28 and 30 anyway? |

| Nice ep =] |
| OMG OMG OMG KO KO KO KO IS IN THE PREVIEW!!!! I just about jumped out of my seat when I saw him!!! I really really realllllyyyyy can't wait for next weeks ep!!!! This ep was good to cause we got to see an un bitchy Minko and Tomoe a bit more :) Aka Jacinna can't wait for next weeks episode!!! I have a feeling Ko is just going to appear at the very end of the ep so we won't actually see any Ko-Ohana development til the week afta... Hope Im wrong though!!! |
| Tomoe-neesan was killer in this episode! |
 |
| Epicness, especially those survival soldiers just added great comedy. Tomoe just owned those guys at their own game i salute her. |
 |
| Alright... Mamiko Noto is too fucking good at her job. She needs to use this type of voice way more than her soft/shy one. It's highly likely that Tomoe will be replacing someone on my favorite characters list by the end of this series. OKAY BABY, GET SOME! |

| A really entertaining episode as usual, it was nice seeing Tomoe in the spotlight for a little. 5/5. Edit: A big hooray for the old ED, I'm glad they used it again. |

All they want is love and drama and shit. Completely agree; people seem to be pinning this as some generic shoujo garbage because of the young female lead even though it was quite apparent from the beginning that Hanasaku Iroha will be a light-hearted slice of life for an older audience, not teen girls. I agree to a point. We're 7 episodes into a 26 episode show and they haven't even gotten all the characters properly introduced yet. People seem to be expecting perfection out of every episode, and anything that isn't the same or better than Ep1-Ep2 is automatically shit. However, it is a seinen slice-of-life and as such just having comedy won't cut it. They need to deal with something real to justify that. I'm convinced they will, but people just need to relax and not overhype it. I think you'll find that once the season is done, the series in it's entirety will be more than satisfactory. |

Well right now it doesn't realy earn its status as show for an older audience and is probably more like a shoujo. As Vinter said, they can't avoid the more serious topics all the time and that's what most people complained about. You can't realy blame anyone for expecting the quality they got teased with at the beginning and as already said the potential is there. But I guess the creators themself need to find their pace and still fine tune for the right balance of comedy, slice of life and drama. |
