Forcing kids to eat green bell peppers is child abuse. That is all.

PS. raw tomatoes can go as well.

That seems to be a common misconception in Japan. What would any of them do with a home that had central air?

I love this episode, watching Taihei, Kanau and Takeshi go to high school together was totally enjoyable, and especially when we are shown that Taihei taught his tricks to Umaru, it was exciting.
I like it when Umaru showed his feelings to his brother, it was a nice moment.
Sometimes otakus are rejected by society, so I discovered that it is much better to be an
otaku in secret.

Maybe I'm crazy but I caught a death note reference and a jojo reference.

Either way, good episode!!

It doesn't cause it directly, but being cold lowers your immune response and makes you more likely to become infected by the germs and viruses that are always around us.

How cold do you have your aircon that it would statistically significantly reduce your immune system? Whenever they say cold affects immune response I usually think close to freezing not the comfortable 20-22C an aircon is on.

Honestly I have my aircon running most summer nights here in Australia at 22C. The improvement in sleep it produces would have a greater positive impact on health than any non-existent detriment being at 22C does.

True, an AC probably wouldn't be cold enough to make you sick unless maybe you slept right under it. I think you'd have to be out in the freezing cold shivering and wet to catch a cold, but I just put that down to it being a comedy anime that's not supposed to be taken too seriously. :)

That burger steak with bell peppers inspired me to make some, but instead of bell peppers, maybe I'll mix my burger with different vegetables. Hmm...how about green peas?

The crane machine makes me sad. I never caught a single one my whole life! 😭😭

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

This is actually my first episode of this anime series so far, and I'm liking it a lot actually. I like that each segment had something you can learn from especially since Umaru-chan herself does seem immature when you first get an impression of her.

That part with the internet as well as the manga cafe really did HIT ME AND STUCK WITH ME considering I'm an introvert. But I'm not gonna lie, there are times when I would be in an arcade playing for a while and even having fun as well as really joyful as I would be looking at the amount of credits I can use during that visit, and yet only about an hour would pass and I would just STOP, and I would not be bored necessarily, I would just have that feeling of "maybe I need to go home now and be with my family, people who aren't strangers and actually care about me". 

I still play in the arcades but even as an introvert, it can get pretty boring and lonely at times just "being happy for yourself". Especially as someone who plays those dancing games where you press buttons with your feet? 



I'm a total show-off and tbh, I'd play those games just to show people how good I was, but then sometimes I WOULDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS HAVING FUN EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD BE because I was just there to impress and not really entertain myself. So I started getting sad and even losing the mood to play while a song was still playing, because of that lingering feeling of NOT HAVING FUN.

Us human really need stimulus from other things and are not really built to just make ourselves happy, loneliness can be pretty boring and sad sometimes. Not all the time, obviously, but sometimes yes. This is why people play games with each other.



I know this is like too much to garner or reflect on considering I haven't watched the rest of the series yet, but I like this anime just from those moments alone considering I'm already understanding what type of personality Umaru-chan has whenever she's at home and when she's outside with her friends and simply in public. I  might actually want to watch the rest of this anime now. When I have the time, of course, since just like Taihei I have work I have to go to daily. XD

Ok wait so yeah the brother is also similarly talented? Also are the rumors of them being rich true looking at where they lived before? Are they actually kids of some rich cooperate ceo parents? The doma company?

But then Taihei despite getting all one hundreds still ended up working in the same place as Bonba while the girl somehow ended up as their superior.

Good episode, Umaru taking care of her brother with strange ideas like defeat the viruses in that way. The no internet segment was one of the reasons I discover this anime and I love see more things about the past of them, specially of Taihei, he was the best student and talented with the crane, Umaru must've learned the tag Trick from him also I forgot that they parents were rich and what a luxury apartment he used to live. This episode could be better if Kirie appeared though xd
