Now I have no hope they'll ever get Wataru right in the anime OTL (as in animated form)
But it sure has been some time since I last heard Louis talking for such a long time... o.o

I think what the preview said was that they're going on the trip and Fuuto has to wear sunglasses and a mask so no one would recognise him. And Tsubaki said something like he looked like a perverted idol xD!

Her family issue is solved, but still why doesn't her father see her at all?

Juli in the dream was kinda unexpected, and maybe all adopted children in the world can hear Juli.

I kinda want to know why Natsume named his cats Azusa and Tsubaki. Natsume has always been one of my favorites but I feel like we need more Kaname and Iori. I wasn't expecting Louis' story (But it does make sense) and also human Juli.

Ooh older brother what are you thinking??

So many Natsume x Ema moments, this is like a dream come true... He kissed her to calm her down and even apologized right at the moment.Tthat was such an husband/Wife situation. Chii looked beautiful with her hair down like that, the other hairstyle was also beautiful. Poor Natsume got attacked by Juli xD

So she can relate to Louis now. Oh they didn't change the triplet's hair colors when they were in highschool. I remember them to be black/brunette etc from what I have seen on tumblr. So that's why he is so different... I think Louis in top 5 choice Ema now. Ironic how he loves her like a brother when he is the same as her. Juli as a guy and she accepted it *facepalms self*...

Great episode overall esp. with doses of Natsume x Ema!

the opening scene was so weird. i was seriously wondering if they might choose the bestiality route. wouldn't have surprised me actually. but no, they just turned him into a human. but he watched her since she's a baby? damn, this is some immortal squirrel.

i just can't consider louis as possible boyfriend. he seems more like the typical best (gay) friend to me. even the kissed didn't change that.

but dat natsume fanservice. didn't expect that.

Natsume fanservis felt kind of awkward, his face is so small in the shot compared to his body. Otherswise I'm pretty satisfied with how they animated the scene, Natsume and Ema sleeping next to each other was really cute.
The scene with Louis was also really nice, but I'm still not a fan. Maybe once he stops doing her hair.
I can't hate Juli when I hear Kamiya's voice ;o; Iori looks really handsome on the end card. Glad Yusuke got at least one line, friggin' studdering cutie. On the other hand Fuuto didn't even make an appearance and managed to pissed me off. Can't wait for Subaru next week.

Juli in human form is actually quite cute. Too bad he's an annoying ass.
Why is it that no one questions the fact that Ema keeps a squirrel as a pet?

And yes, Natsume, one of the better guys in the family, but still, why is she always okay with guys randomly kissing her...I also never expected to see Juli in human form, that was a nice surprise, he looked really nice.

I was kinda weirded out by the Human Juli-- but it was nice to see him that way.
Saw the end card and absolutely died because of Iori end card (I love Iori- I want him to have more screen time- but unfortunately he's not a 'love interest' :c).

And ahhh... The classic Adopted Sibling Trope...

Best endcard ever <3

Louis is so right. Family is when you're connected by your hearts, not your blood. I just wish people would realize that.

As being a Natsume-fangirl, I LUVED this ep! Ah, beautiful abs~ <3


Juli? OMG! More than Levi (who speaks more in an indifferent tone), it feels like I heard Araragi from Monogatari series! *lol* Sweet guy, as always~ Louis was great too, you can't hate him. More like a real onii-san (like Masaomi and Hikaru) if you compare him to some others (like Subaru and Tsubaki... and more~ *lol*).

Naw I feel like reading the novels! Seems like many think those are way better than the anime. I should say I kinda really like the anime but since I didn't read the books, I can't really tell the difference~

Awww I love Louis! He's the only non-animal in this family-.-

Well him and Iori...and Masaomi (my fav!)

If Louis actually showed intense interest in her i'd accept him over everyone else but i'm glad so far he's just acting like a nice older bro. Not EVERYONE has to be in love with her -.-

Despite all this i still ship either Subaru or Yusuke! :3

The cats named after his brothers was a pretty cute thing. xD; I didn't expect a kiss to come from Natsume from that point. But I'm glad he stopped and so clearly said how he felt. He has it tough though, getting attacked by cats and a squirrel. xD Who turned out super cute in dream land, glad his voice was so much less annoying.

Louis is so adorable as a child and adult. I once read that a squirrel lives for about 10 years, on another I read that up to 20 years in captivity and wild about 12 years and in another 5-8 years (I do not know which one is right, I was curious). But assuming that what I read was the last for real then Juli has passed the stage of his life, because he is with the Chi since she was a baby, but leaving aside, see Juli in human form was really interesting . In a family you are connected by their hearts and not by blood ties.

Senjougahara: Senjougahara-sama.

The whole budget for this episode to animate background characters was put into Natsume's abs. Who has now even more advantage over Subaru. Who am I kidding, over everybody, Natsume's the best pony. And I'm still sticking to my opinion they should get the heck out with that reverse harem shizz and make it into regular slice of life.

Louis is so best gay friend material it's not even funny.

Every time Iori says something I'm getting Snake's "!" above my head.
And Juli in the last scene was frightening, way too Kyuubey-esque..

This is most definitely my favorite episode. I replayed the kiss scenes (with Natsume and Louis) so many times. (>.<) Even if it was a comfort kiss, I still love it. That fan service *q*....Louis as a child and baby Ema were so adorable asdfghjkl!!!! I really liked the opening scene "the chi chan protection club" Louis is so cute and sweet. Can we be best friends please? I love human Juli and his voice. I didn't expect to see him in this episode at all. I grew to like Ema a little more. She definitely developed more as a character in this episode. Masaomi at the end.... >///< I hope that the Iori end card means he will show up in the next episode. Also Subaru appeared!!! He disappeared for so long.....
