Hotarun was so aodrable this episode, she may look mature but deep down she is still a little child, who needs moments to act her age and we love her for it! Too bad Konomi happened to be also in the train and found out about her secret.

As for the dog moment, super wholesome but I can let it slide. Cause even I can act just like that when I cuddle or play with the dog if I feel like it. Especially with the puppy we got recently.

I wonder why there's so few people watching this ??
as of right now there's a bit less than 2300 users, that's like very unpopular for such an incredibly good and wholesome anime

God, I love this anime, such a fun and sweet episode.

'The tomatoes look cold', what the fuck, Renge, it's a crime being this cute.

Big F in the chat for Hotaru's reputation though. Even so, honestly, that final segment with the doggo isn't even embarrassing, I dare anyone to find a well-functioning, independent adult that wouldn't behave the same with a cute pupper.

It picks up slow at the start with planting tomatoes, building the greenhouse which is nice.

and then the middle we got Akane being wayyy too shy, i understand her feeling but her case was kinda extreme, and Hotaru being addressed as the older one which is understandable.

and then probably the highlight of the episode about Konomi finding out about Hotaru's behavior around her parents, really hilarious and somewhat wholesome.
This really is a somewhat yuri episode, holding hand and lap pillow.

also,



i wanna be cuddled by hotaru just like that

Hotaru's dad had already appeared and spoken in s1ep12 (road repairs episode), and there were also the guys who "kidnapped" Komari and the udon seller in the beach episode.

Hmm Hotarun is too cute in her own world. I forgot that she was a Komari fan. Those dolls in her room bring back some funny memories. Also Suguru aka Megane-kun needs have more presence. Lol nobody saw him move all around XD

Sad there's no Nyanpasu~ this week.

Oh man, this huge amount of wholesome and feel-good vibes should be a crime. We fans are not worthy of this much wholesomeness! X3

I do like the whole tomato planting and Renge's deadpan expression was funny. Same goes for Akane, as she's becoming more likeable with each episode as she tries her best to get over her shyness by hanging out with Konomi, Komari, Natsumi and Hotaru for some cookie baking.

However, while those two segments were great, it was the last part, with Hotaru and her parents on the train, that made this episode an 11/10. Seriously, even a guy with a hardened heart wouldn't dare to say no to Hotaru's puppy eyes!

Not just that, but I do love how Hotaru got all embarrassed when Konomi saw how Hotaru acted with her parents and, considering her age, that's to be expected. It's a shame that Hotaru turned down the golden opportunity for her to rest on Komari's lap. That would be so damn cute, but maybe next time, eh?

To end the episode on a bombshell of cuteness, Hotaru went all gaga while petting her dog. Honestly, I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes because of her adorable expressions while she spoiled her dog like that and, once again, she did that in front of Konomi who happened to be walking by, which must've been really awkward between them.

I don't know why you're annoyed by a few stills lasting about 15-20 seconds. You shouldn't assume the production team uses stills or slideshows just because they're "too lazy" to animate it. Sometimes those sort of small stills work better, depending on the scene in question.

I understand that, but not all of them do the stills for the same reason. Pet peeve or not, I still find that a rather flawed way of judging things like that. =(

The idea of resting on her beloved senpai's lap was too much for poor Hotaru to handle xD

Another quite lovely episode as usual. "Childish" Hotaru getting caught by Konomi was hilarious but again, she's only 11 so seeing her acting like that with her parents is an expected behaviour. Not that this will make her feel less embarrassed tho.

Oh? Hikage for next episode? Let's go!

This anime never failed at making me laugh this hard! I'm really enjoying a lot for this episode!

Akane-chan not knowing that Hotarun is still an elementary schooler is hillarious! Glasses-kun is really scary popping in and out without anyone noticing!

And also Hotarun acting like a spoiled child in front of Konomi-chan is the best moments! Poor Hotarun, especially she got spotted twice! XD

This time the episode proves to be very Hotaru centric, but it does not bother in the least, since the parents also participate in the story who, if I remember correctly, have not seen each other often, then I'll check by looking at the past seasons. However, the episode is appreciated not only for the comedy but also for the concept dealt with which is far from having an univocal answer, even it like many issues has been debated for some time without coming to mind because no speculation fully satisfies idea. Akane's character sees herself again and so does the ghost of the Koshigaya house. Eheheheheehh !!! Natsumi and Komari, despite the short time given to them, manage to be scratchy with their comedy.

So glad this show is back in my life, it's so relaxing.

Also nice to see the attention focus on the newer characters, Konomi and Akane with their flute lessons and attempt to solve Akane's fear of strangers. Not that i don't love the usual crew, but it's a nice change.

Glasses-kun, lol poor Suguru, he can't get a word in edgeways.

If Hotarun looked her age the babying parts would've felt natural, but because she isn't it's almost like they're teasing a frustrated teen. That's mean!

I mean, to be fair, pretty much everyone acts silly when they're talking to their pets. It's pretty human and even healthy to be childish every now and then.

Gardening part brought back the memories of my peaceful days in a vacation at the rural countryside areas, far away from my nation capital city. That greenhouse simply beautiful, not to mention their planting activities.

Hotaru got a plenty center spot this episode with her maturity as an elementary schooler. Even that Akane girl embarassing herself by considering Hotaru-chan as an older girl. Lol. Classic nnb not stop until that. Glasses onii-chan once again got forgotten. Then Hotaru-chan different habit with her parents surely tickling me enough, even after she got spoiled in the end by Konomi-nee-chan.

Man, Hotaru-chan overthinking reactions. That last touch of the interaction. Can't believed the duration already over with those simple dynamics xd.

Another great episode. Glad to see more of Akane, and Renge being dead inside cause if bell peppers was fun. Best part was definitely Konomi teasing Hotaru like crazy. Konomi can be such a teaser. I'm very happy that we get more of the support characters, Konomi, Hikage and Candy Store are all fantastic characters.
Also helps that I actually don't like Hotaru that much, she might be my least liked person on this cast out of all of them. She is fine usually, but her childish side somehow borders on creepy for me cause of how old she looks compared to her being 11-12 or so. For some reason even Komari doesn't feel as weird when she is freaking out or crying. I would be happier if Hotaru was replaced by anyone else like Hikage or Konomi, but some jokes work well with her, like this one now, so that's fine. Her "I like senpai" and "I look older than I am" jokes kinda got samey, but at least Akane's scene with her was fun.
