The shopping trip was....weird.

I think Machi really found herself like in a new world or something since she hasn't been around the city for long. I think she caused more trouble than expected though..


Lol Natsu cooking this episode with his paws. Nice.

Holy fuck, Machi got absolutely DESTROYED in the first half, and Natsu in the second! XD Adorable seeing how innocent and ignorant of the outside world she was and him trying his hardest to feed/nurse her and atone. Very rough episode for our 2 leads! XD I admit I cracked up at half-dead Natsu at the end, the poor slob. XD Loved the little Natsu and Machi flashback too. :)

If only that dick Yoshio would suffer more! XD At least Machi gave him one good shot. XD

TIhis episode really taught Machi about how to "act" and socialize in Urban area.
I wonder what will happen if she see Yoshio grabbing Yasuda's hand in the meeting. LOL
Time for Machi to go shopping again, but not for clothes.

Natsu made me laugh so f*cking hard twice: first was when he had that mental breakdown when Machi had a fever, the second time was when he was willing to be a masochist for Machi xD

That punch in the belly, Yoshio is sure having a hard week after the last punch.
Machi has a lot to learn to grow up in the city, adapting to the environment.
Natsu cooking with the knife was really chilling to see, glad he dogded the knife attack!

I didn't expect Machi's Urban complex and shyness to be this bad either lol
She was so pitiful when she was crying behind Yoshio after coming back.

I couldn't agree more seeing machi pretty much breakdown into tears was shocking to say the least but the fact that natsu gave no F$!ks all he cared about was his DVD even when he can see her in tears all he wanted was his DVD. I don't know why but the second half made me laugh I didn't feel bad for natsu at all seeing him break into tears, attempt to cook, and atone for what he did was in my opinion hilarious and the fact that machi doesn't recall what she did to natsu (or at least I assume she doesn't) was funny in it's own way.

"You look sleepy Natsu."
"Yeah... Machi was wild last night..."
Surprised Yoshio didn't get the wrong impression there.
Second part of this episode was hilarious, with Natsu having a breakdown about Machi being ill and then when he was half dead at the end.

First half was crazy.

Which is a good thing.

Second half was less crazy.

Which is not a good thing, but there was no Hibiki so it was watchable.

"It's a witch's place!" I'm dying! I love Machi so much but she reminded me of Watamote's heroine this episode, so awkward... Not that it's her fault.
She didn't have to hit her brother tho lol. That scene later, so embarrassing..

I kinda like Yoshio, he's actually pretty nice and big brotherly when he needs to. Natsu kneeling was so awkward, I couldn't stop laughing. He was super-embarrassing there, but him making food for Machi was super-sweet.

It was such an awkward episode, but I loved every second of it, haha. This anime is a blessing.

Most girl's crying face triggers something in us that makes us want to go up and hug them, no idea why....
(Give a feel that I wanna grab and take her home too)

Yea, most animals have a shorter lifespan than Humans. In fact, Human's original average was 60 years old just 30-something years ago... now it's 80 average. (the technological and scientific advances improved our life's comfort and cures to illness, but of course, this only applies to "richer countries")

This also means Natsu unless somehow becomes BearGod, he's gonna be gone by the time Machi grows up to be an adult. (and replaced with another bear, so the cycle resumes)

Haha Machi K.O. in the first part. It was too much and I kinda felt sorry for her.

The cooking scene with Natsu was damn funny :D 1st attempt: "my paws are too big..." And wow that dodge. That was close Natsu... And lol how he'd looked at that Knife on the ground XDDD / 2nd attempt: "let's smack that b****"" Hya! Worked :D

During the "dramatic" scenes, so we define them, rather than sadness, felt a distinctly different feeling, almost as if you were seeing a comic scene, was oddly amusing context throughout the narrative. It is understood the real issue, the real problem seems to be Machi and its state of girl from the countryside, did not Natsu and his desire to keep her close to him. Storytelling that also able to discover the peculiarities of the characters that are part of the cast. Overall a pleasant enough episode, they will also discover the true feelings of Natsu for Machi.

This was a difficult episode, emotionally for the main two. I felt bad for them, but still found it funny. Most of this anime has been Machi suffering and Natsu comforting her most of the time, I want to see Yoshio suffer more than the occasional punch to the gut from Machi.

I found this episode hilarious. From the very beginning when the villagers couldn't sat "Village Vanguard", to Machi's traumatic mall experience (I loved the way she talked herself out of going into the store by imagining what the sales girl was thinking about her, running up the escalator in her blind panic, etc etc. Full of great expressions), Yoshio shaming the f..K out of Natsu and making him cry. Natsu's attempt at cooking. This ep is a piece of gold.

Vine ref familiar but can't recall...maybe Young Black Jack (had vines as a frequent theme):


Much funnier than some earlier episodes.
Lol mall social awkwardness... think I've reverse walked an escalator too... That bishounen's hot voice.
Punch harder yas!
Agreed Machi & Natsu got perfect expressions.
Nice eyecatch

"Extended" flashback was nice (i mean baby Natsu so cute, and he grows pretty fast). Thanks Natsu best flashbacks.
Who freezes rice?
Bear cooking was fun with that baritone sax etc ost.
I was laughing like the entire time they cried.
