Sibling reunion was a bit touching, Hachi is a cutie too. But I like Roku more, although he didn't have much presence in the episode.

I wonder if that is the boyfriend that budged in?

I really liked the music in this episode. Aww man Haru found her sibling! Nice! Nana is awesome.

I like the Growth of Both Haru and Subaru. Waiting for when Haru realizes his name is Subaru.


I hope that was Nana's brother and not boyfriend lol.

Yes I knew that Nana's cat would be one of Haru's siblings.

This may not be the popular opinion but for me this is the anime of the season , I know there's Dororo (Which is a very close second), Boogiepop and The Promised Neverland but this show hits me in the feels constantly in the best way, it's super
relatable cause I too have cats. My first cat, which passed away, was a black kitten, Haru reminds me of him in every way.

This is the ANIME OF THE SEASON.

Wait, this is currently THE ANIME OF THE YEAR (2019)....for me at least.

It isn't easy for someone with social anxiety, who is also an introvert, to run after someone like that. Subaru was really brave, but I'm glad that he worked the courage to do so. Thanks to it Haru was able to meet her brother and now she knows that he is fine, and she also learned that "Haru" is her special name. It was so cute and wholesome, but it seems that Haru can be a bit of a tsundere. lol

Nana is also a really nice person, and the other guy from the OP finally appeared. I guess he is her younger brother, I hope he isn't too rude/mean to Subaru, the poor guy is still in the process of learning how to deal with people and he can barely talk.

Oh, I also liked how he said that forcing someone to interact or respond in the way you want, like his teacher did, isn't going to "move their heart." Letting your walls down is hard, and you shouldn't force people out of their shells, but instead let them somehow know/feel that it's okay to reach out for you. This anime is surprising me with every new episode, it's beautiful.

Such a wholesome and adorable episode once again, especially after the switch to Haru's perspective; even before that, I suspected that Hachi was one of Haru's siblings (from the similarities in the photo), but it was nice to see that confirmed and see them reunited after the way they split up (and after Haru assumed that he was most likely dead like the other sibling). That aside, the bottle idea for the cat food is quite interesting, something I'll have to remember when I one day get a cat of my own.

Beautiful, wholesome and a very fulfilling episode yet again!
Probably my favourite episode so far, simply put!

Okami(literally translated to Wolf), xD @ the scenes right before the Op though, visiting Subara’s house and the whole scene was just very sweet to watch! Haru playing around with the bottle was adorable, in particular. And then Subaru running to catch up to her with Haru in hand was really nice too! Finally, we got to see the two cats that Okami-san has taken custody of. Very sweet to see a reunion between the cats! Haru finally realising the true meaning behind the name Haru and that touching hug between the two was delightful to watch! After ED credit scenes though, looks like Okami-san already has a boyfriend, or is it a sibling?, and there goes our ship. Lol @ Haru “I’m her elder sister, thanks for taking care of her!” and that smug face was glorious! Tsundere-y Haru was very cute to see too.

Looking forward to seeing more cozy and cute stuff from this show in the coming weeks! We need more iyashikei shows this good like these on a regular basis, that is every season. Here’s to hoping the mid-episode and the second half will be as good as this first half, if not better which would be all the more pleasing!

Ah, this episode was so, so sweet! I love how Haru gradually breaks Subaru's cycle of isolation and anxiety. Great to see how they both learn new things; like Haru's understanding of the meaning of having a personal name and Subaru's new feeding schedule for Haru. Adorable anime so far!

The narrative of this anime is learning to overcome your doubts and insecurities through interaction with others. Both Subaru and Haru learn something about theirselves when they meet someone new.

So our MC starts learning how to really take care of Haru's needs, really love how the pet shop girl shouted at him in the beginning.
Also, I cannot stand how cute Haru is, I want to pet her ugh.

This show is just too wholesome awww, always making me smile

When Hachi turned out to be Haru's little bro, that part melted my heart.

Hopefully, for us shippers, the chap at the end is her brother.
His reaction did feel more like an overly protective brother than a jealous husband. So, here's hoping he's not a siscon.
Nana hasn't had any of the behaviours I'd associate with someone with a jealous partner.

I'm glad Haru found that one of her brothers had survived and now has a safe home.
While a healthy adult cat might be able to take on that many large birds, kittens don't stand a chance; a group of crows or ravens, or whatever they were, look at stray kittens as "food on paws".

Again, an excellent episode.
This series has yet to disappoint.
(I spent far too much money earlier today ordering the music CDs associated with this series currently available from Japan; the exchange rate is _not_ to my liking, at all! These were titles Amazon Japan won't ship to the USA, but thankfully there was an eBay merchant who does.)

Looks like Subaru is going to be caught in "triangle love story".. Probably not, but someone is jealous for sure :P

I love Subaru's character so much. I mostly chose to watch this anime because I like the dubbed VA. He really does a fantastic job with his characters and Subaru is just an amazing character. I can't wait to see his relationship with Haru blossom even more. C:

Now that the cat realised Haru doesn’t mean food, but her name, I’ll refer to her as Haru from hereon.

Haru finally met her kid brother, at Nana’s place. And hell yeah, we got to see Roku this episode. Waiting for him to speak though.

Subaru and Haru are getting close.

Nana shows Subaru how to feed Haru. Then he runs to her when he realized her keys was stuck on Haru's claw. There Haru meets her lost brother Hachi who now lives with Nana.

Nana is a really cool character, I wonder if they are going to turn this shit into a romance or something with them, Wouldn't surprise me but it's really not something this show needs as it is a cat show after all. Haru got to see her little brother again and I think that was awesome! I really like this episode but the plot with the key was a little confusing, well not confusing I just don't know how to word it. Never mind :3
