I would say this episode has the best 1 minute close-up I have ever seen for a long long time. Tears never stopped flowing from that moment until the end of the episode.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Was I the only one who thought "nooo don't cry Ren-chon...don't cry don't cry...oh no she cried!"?


I felt the same way. If I were standing there I would knock on grand-ma's door and very politely ask if Ren-chon could leave her phone # (if she knows it) for Honoka.

I laughed when Renge wants to draw a picture in reply to Honoka's letter: "I need crayons!"


I reacted almost the same way except I grinned when she heard news that Honoka sent her a letter. They were so adorable together, nice to have such sweet childhood memories. Miy childhood memories were few and far between, mostly because I moved alot. I was so fucking happy for Renge when she got a friend her own age :D

I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

It would be a bit better if they showed why Renge like Honoka so much instead of some short scenes with music.

I think Renge is my favorite character, I just can't help but laugh/smile every time she does or say something with that serious face all of the time. Aww I had such a hard time watching her tear up when Honoka left, that really felt like a cheap shot.

As far as I can tell, this is the first time in the history of anime in which a watermelon
has been cut up into pieces using a knife and eaten normally. Typically we see
somebody put on a blindfold and use a baseball bat in the traditional Japanese game
"Suika-wari" ( スイカ割り ). In Fumoffu, Sousuke used a shotgun. See here for details:

Thanks for pointing out Persona 4: The Animation. Indeed, it has an excellent
watermelon scene. Even so, I think that my initial claim is correct. The characters
in P4 did not actually cut open the watermelon with a knife. On the other hand,
they didn't smash it open either. You can see the relevant scene at 21:00 in
Episode 13. Here is some of the dialog:

"Man, I'm going to smash mine open!"
"Wait. We aren't smashing it?"
"I want to smash MINE open!"
"Juice everywhere. Smiles on everyone's face."
"Sorry about that. I got the pre-sliced one. It just seemed easier."
"Don't worry about it. We'll get one and smash it open later."
"I think that's something we can do at the beach together."

So, I'll reiterate my initial assertion that Kazuho Miyauchi, the sleepy teacher, is
the first character in the history of anime ever to cut open a watermelon with a
knife as opposed to smashing it, shooting it or buying a pre-sliced one.

This was one of the cutest episodes yet. I was grinning so hard when Ren-chon opened the envelope and it was the picture of her and Honoka together. ^_^ (Actually I'm still slightly grinning now...my sides are starting to ache...)

The part with Hikage the city girl was funny as well, I hope there's more of her in future episodes, she'd be a nice addition to the group.

And of course, I continue to love the art and animation in this series. The fan, the water wheel, all the greenery...so pleasant to look at.

Definitely enjoying this series so far, I may just bump it up to an 8 if it continues. Aw heck, I'll just do it now. :D

I freaking knew that it'll end with Renge crying.

It's either
1. She overslept and missed her chance to say good bye
or 2. Suddenly have to leave.

Poor girl.

I think I fall in love with Ren-chon... when she was about to cry, it broke my heart. But she's still cute. Every single movement of her is beyond adorable. And she's cute without her twintails as well...

I'm starting to dislike Hotaru. She thinks Komari is cute but she forgets that Renge is the cutest. How unforgivable.

Airplane versus bullet train ahahaha. I have been in an airplane already, but I have never been in a bullet train, though I would love to experience riding it.
It broke my heart when Ren-chon started crying T^T, but I am glad she made a friend with the same age.
Was that a selfie??? It was a cute picture :3
Ren-chon is so cute and adorable hngggggggggggggghhh.

That scene at the end that focused on Renge was great, but the bit that really hit me like a ton of bricks were those two or three scenes leading up to Renge seeing Honoka for the first time at the bridge.

Her going up those steps and jumping off the other side, and picking a fruit and eating it, then getting that flower(?) and waving it around. It brought tears to my eyes.. there was a bit of loneliness to seeing her on her own, but it also really captured the exploratory nature of kids absolutely perfectly. Kinda reminded me of my own childhood (although without the loneliness part).

Omg those feels when renge tears up,especially when she's usually emotionless.
Other than that,the episode is filled with the usual funny moments:Renge accidentally taking a selfie for her first photo.The lighting effect when her photographer spirit got ignited and Natsumi's report card.(lol)

I love how Renge's sadness was expressed without any words.
