| I am glad they went to the restaurant again! This whole thing is so sweet! |
 |
| She is so cute when she says: "Otoosan" (*.*). Another adorable episode, this anime is so good. |
| That Tsumugi pose was dank as fck XD Good for Dad to learn how to cook slowly but surely and for Kotori to speak out about her being scared on knives. Also gotta love Kotori's mom putting the effort on creating picture recipes even though she's always busy just goes to show her love for her daughter at least. |
 |
| Finally a proper meal they cook together, very nice. |
| A city's greatness is determined by the speed of its internet connection. |
| Eh, it's almost like everything gets pushed to the background just so we can have scene after scene, shot after shot of the girl "Being so god damn adoorable". Not impressed, and no idea why this is getting so much hype. Not that I hate this, but I'm not interested in just watching a "cute" girl being so called adorable. At least Barakamon had more characters and was absolutely hilarious. Kotori's story seems interesting though, at least some drama could come out from this. And pleeeeeeeeeeease do not go the route of the teacher getting together with Kotori and have the child be a matchmaker or other crap like that... no no NOOOOOOOOOOO! Let the hate flow on me, but this is like my opinion, man. 3/5 rasenshiruken973 said: Hm dropped halfway through the episode. I loved Barakamon and Usagi Drop but this show just feels like it's trying too hard to be cute and heartwarming. It comes off as forced and boring imo. Nice to see someone who agrees. |

| it felt cheesy , i mean i love cute things as the next guy , but goddamn that was boring i mean isnt there anything else ? Also tsugmi character design seems off comparing with the other kids and her father and kotori ( she is more like, how to say it , her design belong to other kind of anime ) Anyway we'll see if the drama about kotori's mother will help |
| "This is my father's crime against me, which I myself committed against none" Al-ma'arri |
| Easy to watch series. Good episode. :) |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Aah Tsumugi is just too cute for the series. It's so cute and family like, it's such a nice pace from the serious and destructive anime. |
| That face when she posed in the apron though. |
 |
| The second episode has managed to be just impressive as the first. This is easily becoming my favourite anime this season alongside shokugeki no soma S2. Looks like food is the main theme for me this summer. |
 |
| It wasn't as good as the first episode but still a very good one. I like the relationship between Tsumugi and her father. I am really looking forward for the next episode! 4/5 |
| CUTE ANIME IS CUTE |
    |
| Such a peaceful/relaxing/healing show! 8.10 !?! that's very high which is also nice! Tsumugi and Kotori is getting familiar with each other. But it would be a problem if Kotori slowly falls in love with Kouhei otosan! Does Kotori have trauma with Knives!? 5/5. |
 |
| I liked this episode more than the first one, but it might just be my lowered expectations from seeing other series that are airing right now. I also find the daughter to be a little less gremliny, after discovering she has an actual child actress as her VA. Still not that big a fan of the art style, or the over sentimentality. But there's something pretty charming about watching the Teacher and his student prepare pretty and well animated food for a hungry little kid. I've seen plenty of anime built on worse gimmicks. My big question then for this series, is what it plans to do with the Student/Teacher relationship. So far given the complete lack of ecchi, and how professional their relationship has been I don't see it turning romantic. Which is ultimately I think a good thing, it'd be a little creepy the most we should see is Kotori pining after our protag. Anything else would be inappropriate and betray the shows main selling point, it's sweetness. I liked that this episode very quickly dove into the question of how appropriate is this relationship. And I think it deftly pulled off making us table that question for now. For once I'd be happy if this series turned out to be super formulaic. There's so much I'm lukewarm at best on with this series I want to see a lot more of what I do like about it. A cute anime teenager struggling to make dope food with a bumbling everyman single dad. If it can successfully deliver on that week to week it'll walk away as one of the best of the season. You know mostly by comparison not sheer quality. |
 |
| More cuteness, sweetness and a bit of loli lewdness. Its hard to wait for episodes every week, so I might pile up the episodes. |
| This has been better than I expected still not amazing. Tumugi REALLY needs a hair cut its bugging me at this point. Liked how the teacher was cautious of going to the restaurant even still its inappropriate for a teacher. |

| Another heartwarming episode, I really like this series. Wonder if her mom ever appears... cause, father without wife and divorced woman - well, you know.. Anyway, their confusion was really intense :D  |

| Tsumugi is so cute! And Kotori also, all the food looked delicious though. |
 |
| Every time they look at each other they blush, it's soo cute HNGG. |
| I would say that this episode is convincing as the previous one, he has not wanted to overdo it as in the previous episode, with situations too weepy, that's convinced me, but there was a preponderance in the part about the kitchen narration, to the detriment the characterization of the characters, and I hope that in the future these two aspects of the story are in equilibrium, given that the direction that took the plot is almost certain. Convincing Kotori and motivations that led it to host the professor and his daughter at the family restaurant. I'm curious to see the next episode. Good quality of the drawings and animations, the two animation studios, involved in the project, are working well. The catchy opening and ending. This was the most pleasant situation of the whole episode, it was fun to see Tsumugi who was trying to smile so winking. :) |
 |
| This is the best! Just hearthwarming as hell :3 |
 |
| Super kawaii stuff, I just can't stop smiling. All three of them are really lovable! Now I am hungry... ;) |
 |
| What a let down :( I loved episode 1 but this episode is so plain, normal and simple. Nothing turns on my switch. 3.1/5 |
 |
| Tsumugi too kawaii!! Kotori too!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
I loved that "wink". She is too kawaii! |
 |
| Gaaah. I wanna eat that pork soup and ugh that rice looks so yummy tbh. ;-; Seeing Tsumugi's father being happy because he sees her being happy really warms my heart. :3 I love Iida-chan, alright. Haha. What a heartwarming and drooling episode! |

| Tsumugi trying the wink was too adorable, lmao. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| It's so heartwarming, Tsumugi is too cute |
 |
| yep i know that satisfied feeling when my cooking is yummy.. cooking is my hobby lately,, even tho the process took a long time but the result made it worth the time |
| Sighs. I just can't get into this very well. I have to watch it for class but ugggh, it's just so boring and I just can't connect with anyone. Like okay, bonding through food is a great concept to explore, but it's just... not working for me in the way they're going about it. And the way they try to make Tsumugi super cute is still really annoying to me.;; |
| This episode is very adorable. I fell in love with Tsumugi in this episode. Not in the creepy kind of way, of course. I think I will like this anime. |
15y and 16y old with adult is normal if they love each other, marriage like this has happened in my country, if parents allow its possible and also i see a woman not a kid, she is a woman (and she has shown that she is), Teen is young adult not a child i see them as cute couple, also she wants to be hes kids mommy it shows her maturity there are 15 and 16 old married with 20+ to so thats nothing strange or sick, though with some1 who is 12 its a bit of a stretch, but cause its fiction even that doesn't bother me and second i support love and sometimes love also happens between teen and some1 in hes or hers 20s or 30s (but this series is stretching this a bit :D, but they are keeping it innocent, it hasn't been sexual so far), so its not pedo 100% of the times, but hard to make the difference when u don't know the person, so u assume the person is pedo paste on what u hear on social media or on TV so i don't judge, when it comes to law its their problem but i don't mind as long its not actual pedo its not common but in my country but 16y girl (daughter of bicycle trainer ex bicycle racer) got married to a guy 20-25 cant remember hes exact age, if parents allow 16y old can marry any1 some life long married couples have started that way and even in countries where below 18 is illegal cause the law says sex is illegal with below 18 not dating, ofc if parents don't trust u they can get restraining order if u don't listen to them when they tell u to never see her again at least until she is 18, sometimes love just happens between above and below 18 its life fact sometimes love can happen between teen and older, some cases the older doesn't know the age of the younger1 and u can't ask cause if u do its way to ruin ur chance to find a partner and when u do find out later u can't back down or ur chicken (cause feeling don't go away just like that, and i say we humans need to follow our feelings when it comes to romance), do what ever just try to stay in the bounds of the law cause when ur in jail that doesn't help any1 also she wants to be the girls mommy, she is so good with her like real mom, the family chemistry is there but who cares she is not 18+ its fiction, in fiction its even less a issue then in IRL i find teacher x student romance stories hot just like teen boy with older woman, when i was teen i watched series that had that element in it but not with main char and liked stories like this ever sins, it was not anime, i didn't know anime then also why make it in a issue when she is 17, 17 or 18 no difference really, only difference is by law but 1 year doesn't give nothing also dating doesn't automatically mean sex, law doesn't say anything about dating, its just forbids sex between certain age groups but there are no ships sailing in this series EDIT: @OnigirisBasket i recommend watch Okusama wa Joshikousei, good rom-com and also Kokoro Connect this1 is about group of friends rom-com but has drama and supernatural element |

I was a Japanese major in university, so some of our classes focused on analyzing Japanese culture, norms, an such through the very subtle things we find in Japanese media. For example, in Amaama to Inazuma here, we get the idea right off the bat that a father doing domestic work like cooking tends not to be the norm, but then we analyze what this idea helps us see what's often valued within Japanese culture as a whole. And so on. But then we'd have to dive deeper than that. So I had quite a few classes focused on analyzing and/or translating Japanese media-- some which overlapped (classic/modern film, classic literature, modern literature, anime, etc).

You said was, does that mean you are no longer that major? If you don't mind me asking :) |
OnigirisBasket said: No worries! I've been away for a while anyway! I had my independent study abroad trip paid for and everything, but then COVID hit and I was unable to go/had to cancel.;; The plan, for the sake of the completionist in me, is to go in late March. Hopefully it works out!Swiggy said: Thank you! It was cool and all, but uh... there's not much you can do with a Bachelors degree in Japanese, ha hah.;; I don't mind at all, but yep!

Sorry for the late reply, I'm actually in uni atm so I've been trying to keep up with all the work ^^: Ohh wow that's awesome!! I thought you meant that you ended up changing your major, it is really cool that you're a Japanese major xD. Did you go to Japan to study or was the program in the U.S.? |
