This episode was something else, Shaft finally showing their Shaft-ness.

Really refreshing, going outside, remembering nostalgic stuff, that was pretty nice. Animation improved a lot from last week's.

Nice knowing more about Ryou's background. Lol that's a harsh condition Shiina has to live with, and damn i missed the sound of Kirin's footsteps


5/5

Anyone have any information on the song in the preview? It's so cute!
"futari dubi duba"


It is specifically mentioned in the closing credits, with a title and composer and
everything. So I am thinking that they are going to be selling a music CD at
some point which includes it. I'll dig out the details from the closing credits
some other time. Yes, it is quite hypnotic.

Here it is again, but in a five-minute looped version:

Don't forget.
Always, somewhere,

Somehow this episode is more fuwa fuwa than usual.. No Kirin no problem!

That konbini tenchou though XD and the food!! Gosh.. only this anime can make konbini food look so delicious!

What Ryou needs is a boyfriend to keep her company and I volunteer as a tribute <3

That preview with the tenchou and little Ryou was so kawaii!

The food indeed looked very delicious!

The glistening noodles, the juices flowing out of the chicken when she skewers or takes a bite and the way the soft cream gently pours out from cream puff. It’s so wonderful (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

It was nice to see her reminiscing about the past and visiting old places, I laughed at the shop manager.
The preview was cute.

Somehow I get the feeling that she was wrong about why her grandma chose those particular things as her library food. Considering her previous lack of cooking skills (and how I used to live in university times myself), I'd say that this was just what she usually ate before she started taking care of Ryou. :D

I really loved that convenience store guy. We need a lot more of him. We also need more of the grandma, and those dream sequences that Ryou has. I also liked the lack of Kirin, a breath of fresh air.

Very nostalgic and atmospheric episode even that almost nothing happened!
I still find this series a bit lacking in some parts but they did great this time.

But why the hell CR translated gyoza as potstickers? Well...

Aww I really liked this episode! :) There was some really nice background art, and I'm impressed because I could even recognize some of the foods on the shelves and stuff (e.g. pringles). This show so far has been okay but I was really pleased with this episode. I'm also starting to really like the OP and ED

I have to say I agree that the food eating scenes may be seen as...naughtiness, but I definitely don't see that when I'm not looking for it.

I mean first episode, I was like WOAH! And then I thought about it and that these were just girls enjoying food and it's textures and tenderness. So yeah

When I watched the introduction part of this episode, I thought, "What am I watching now? It seems it should be Kiseiju or Parasyte whose artworks have been misplaced from the other anime by chance... Or probably it is just an illusion and I must ask my doctor to reduce my dosage of antidepressant and anti-anxiety agent next week..." Haha.

Love the episode!

But it was mostly about Ryou which is nice either way.

She finally realized she can no longer have fun without someone around her. It's also nice to see how her grandmother was just like her, wasn't good at cooking at first, but as soon as she started cooking to her grandchild, she has gotten better.

Didn't know Shiina can't drench herself or she gets easily sick.

I lol'd at the clerk of the conbini. Seems he hasn't changed, but he's glad Ryou is now all grown up!

Damn the way Ryou ate those custard cream, ahh so good!

Can't wait for the next episode!

Ryou was too cute this episode, I wish it would have never ended. Her little monologue about Kirin was really adorable too.

5/5 episode.

I hadn't heard of "potstickers" before, but when I listened to the line again I recognised that it was "gyoza". o.o

Not sure which sups you used but normally they translate them as dumplings.
But anyone who has been to a Japanese restaurant or a sushi place knows what Gyoza is so i don't think it needs to be translated at all.

T-that dream. Quite the imagination..

These girls miss each other too much, it's kinda cute. Still, I could relate to Ryou when it comes to texting.

Shiina's reply was lol.

Man scenery porn = heck yeah!

Ryou's grandma was moe.

Ah such nice girlfriends.

There are a lot of Japanese and (more often) Chinese restaurants that call gyoza "potstickers". Not sure if this is just in the US or not.

Episode from the air much more sympathetic and much SOL.
The narrative has small differences that make it more usable vision, reflections and beautiful food that coupled. I have a hunger this time too, the same effect is created as well with food bought by Ryo in a supermarket.
The only flaw of this episode, the quality is not very good drawings and scenarios, even if I promote the screenplay for being much more varied than in the previous episode.
PV very funny.

Nice end card...

Sort of missed the trolling company that there usually is, but great episode nonetheless.
Convenience store owner best character.

Poor Shiina getting attacked by the puddle right after she said if any water touches her she'll get sick but in her rain coat thing she's usually fine xD

I really enjoyed the episode though and it was a really nice Ryou focused episode. I felt so bad that she was so lonely though...but she managed to make the most of it and relive memories in her past.

LOL that cashier guy remembered her too that was funny. He never aged!

And as usual...I'm super hungry after watching :P

I'm sure that anything that Ryou makes is ten times or more better than anything sold at the konbini.

That oily karaage reminded me of the LAWSON'S near our office that sold salty karaage. It was good and I often ate it in the morning when I was too lazy to pack my own lunch. I don't like their sandwiches though, I prefer my own homemade sandwiches because the ones in the konbini had soggy bread and the breading for the tonkatsu was gross.

Another lovely episode. Ryou is such an adorable girl. I really like her and the bond she has with Kirin.

It was also nice to know more about her grandma and the efforts she had to put to make good dishes for her grandchild. It was very heartwarming, being honest.

And the little sequence in the preview with the salesman trying to cheer up a frightened Ryou, both being chibi versions of themselves, was just too cute >.<

That was so sweet episode. Those flashback moments between Ryou and her grandma were heartwarming.

"That kid has terrible manners. Who raised her like that? Oh yeah, I did" <-- Haha. Kirin's mother is hilarious.

Ryou really loves Kirin so much and she does her best to make her happy. I find that so adorable. <3
