This series has remained fairly charming. I kinda waited to see when would they portray Tsumugi's personality more deeply and well........have her ACT as a kid. Glad that we had that now and that it was animated to REALISTICALLY. That's great.

Kotori is honestly earning a lot of points for waifu of the season. She is so very very sweet, not to mention cute. Hayamin, you're doing an excellent job here. That mother of hers though.......debuting in a Quiz on a Sailor Uniform LMAO. Those braids looked good, even though I'm not a fan of them in a general way.

Sensei is well.......as much of a caritative father as he can be. I find it interesting that without being a Shokugeki no Soma, this series still finds room to point the flaws in each other's cooking techniques. And those recipes are fairly descriptive despite the silliness behind.

I'm not gonna be surprised in the last if after this series, Yuichi Nakamura ends up being an oto-san, looks like he would do well :P

that dish looked really delicious!
and they managed to portray tsumugi as a quite realistic child this episode, with her crying over these kind of conflicts at kindergarten.

Seriously, this is so silly but so entertaining to watch.
I'm so happy for all of them and it's rare for me to care about the characters. The staff is doing a really good job.
It seems Monday will always be a plenty of good watches in this season.

Nothing warms the heart like an episode like this. My poor heart can't handle this much feels. Children acting normal like they are supposed to, this anime is doing it right and I'm loving it. Inuzuka best dad, period.

The food cooking part was nice.

The problem with kids in anime is that if they aren't annoying then it's not realistic, but when they are annoying, they're reeeally annoying.

Before I start praising this episode, I just want to let this out. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THOSE???? The first few minutes after the OP looked so unfinished, like someone took one glance at the designs and guessed the structure of the character's bodies smh. Someone needs to get fired...

Anyway, great ep as usual. Not as good/as sad as ep 1 but is able to repeat its overall quality unlike Ep 2

A good episode. One of my top 4 this summer !
There only one thing that bothers me is the fact that Kotori has a lot of bondages and actually do have one in her right hand I think? Even if she doesn't use knives ?

Since the show obviously tries to be forcefully cute (Thank god it was much less in this episode though). I got a kick from the nice little dip in the art department.

Just look at the ADORABLE little girl in the spoiler.

Deeeerp. Bwaaahahahaaa xDDDD 10/10

Like, so kawaiiii~


Kotori's mother in the beginning looked younger than her, she was hilarious though.

Also, is that restaurant ever open? Seems like they can almost every day just play around over there. They must be rich to have a restaurant that's only open every now and then.

The dad also annoy me, turning the little girls small problems to be like the world ending. Forced drama over nothing. So much overreacting takes away all kinds of little drama this show can have. Please can I actually have some drama with Kotori's situation?

On, and Kotori is one thousand times cuter than Tsumugi.

The episode was the best one so far, doesn't mean I like the show, cause the stupidity just hits me in the face all the time.

Start the drama with Kotori's life and cut down more on forced drama with overreactions and Tsumugi being so called "cute", and i can see myself starting to like this show.

So far nothing really romantic developt, and seeing how the show doesn't really aim to be romance-ish, I don't think anything romantic will develop.

I'm hoping we actually meet the mom in person sometime this season.

But honestly, the way she was introduced was like the start of a hentai doujin. A sailor suit, on TV, blushing, with that embarrassed smile next to two cocky guys. I couldn't help but laugh at the thought. She was really attractive though.

I'm surprised how much Tsumugi beat herself up over that situation. That one kid was a dick, but boys will be boys I suppose.

Still enjoying the hell out of this show.

I'm pretty sure that little kid has a crush on Tsumugi. It's pretty obvious from how he picks on her. And NO, I am not shipping them. I am not shipping anyone in this series, as a matter of act, I rather this be about family and recovering from loss. The only relationship I want here is the father being a good dad to his daughter and Kotori being able to have a better relationship with her own mother.

I've never had a hamburg steak that made me crave for it. I'll only eat it if I'm super hungry.

i have couple of things to say about today's episode

First let's start with : Who the fuck feed a young child that garbage ? Are littel kids supposed to eat such high animal proten food ? So far we've only seen her eat junk food even at breakfast , is she a zombie ?

Now , people say that kid was bullying her because he likes her ( there was only one dense person here who didn't see that ) but that can't be it , cause his mother said : did you make ANOTHER girl cry AGAIN ?

My third point is , tsugmi should feel bad about herself ( yes i've said it) i mean who take their friend's clay and tell themself " it's mine , and i am not returning the clay " seriously , just because they gave it to you doesn't mean they don't want it back ! ( perhaps the absent of the mother cause such behaviour )

And finally great episode ( yes even with what i've said ) cause today's episode highlighted the fact that father can not play the mother , and the father noticed that when he saw the other kids with their mothers and when the restaurant girl told him what to do . So kinda sad for him ( fathers always look at children's troubles as not worthy like cheer up girl its okay , but in reality its not )

4/5

As an anime only watcher I'm genuinely surprise that Kotori's mother is actually real???

I though she was having a nervous breakdown and the unseen mother was all a delusion but maybe that's too dark for this story...

I came here to have a fun time. Kotori's mom walked into the camera view wearing a school uniform announcing her daughter's name to the entire world. I lost my self in laughter for a second and had to pause. Kotori's reaction. I got what I came here for. Everything after that was heartfelt, lovable, emotional, happy, and somewhat not so happy moments. And they are getting better at cooking.

Seriously, I love this anime. It's like the third best anime this season, maybe second too me. IT'S FREAKING GREAT.

Gotta have my respect on Inuzuka sensei in this ep, comforting her daughter, trying to make some delicious meals, and I bet doing all the chores in the house, these things are the main roles of the mother and for him to mix these with work just makes me hands down respect all for the sake of love on his family. Also LMAO at him wearing that mask when chopping that onion makes him look like a killer for a sec with that Kotori's reaction but still worth it that makes Tsumugi smile even for a bit, also according to Flying Witch pro-tip it's easier to chop onions when you heat the onion in the oven first so it removes that particular enzyme that releases that smell that makes you cry, no need for hindrances like masks and shit XD.

Ah, glad we finally got to see Kotori's mom. Too bad it was only briefly and it was when she was on TV. Either way this episode was really cute and Tsumugi's reactions were exaggerated but since she's a kid it's fine. Although now I want that Hambug steak..

onions were shed...
Educational recipes, such detailed onion chopping, like to make this stewed hamburg one day.
School conflict with sulking kids & parents dynamics felt real. Inuzuka is a bit clumsy, & needed Kotori to give him a hint, but very caring, so much respect for great parents like him.
Tsumugi returning dishes & thinking about the clay, kid's growing a sense of responsibility. Kotori faces lol.

Seeing your mother wearing seifuku on TV, now that's some way to start your day. Tsumugi looked so weird with that "meh, whatever" face. She was being way too hard on herself, glad the dad took care of that. And he even forgot his birthday! Iida's reaction was funny in the end.
