Who would think that distancing him from noisy countryside to city would feel so awkward in the end.
Great contrast.

My guess: One big Stone Wall letter in the middle and lot of people names around of which this wall is consisting.

Man, when you mess up on your masterpiece so much that you try to ship yourself in a box to another place (or in this case the island)

That was a nice touch with Naru and them calling to Sensei and telling him to come home soon, my heart cant take it!

With all the names and him naming it stone wall, I belive it's based on the stone wall thing they were building last episode, and the names will be around the wall which is keeping that wall up.

That phone call scene was really touching. Especially when you hear Naru asking for Handa to come back home.

So, no opening this week? That's too bad, I really love the opening. Guess I'll have to watch it a few times on youtube to get over this shock. But this really was another amazing episode. It was hilarious and the phone scene was heartwarming. Man, I really want to see what he wrote. It has to be amazing. I really can't stand having to wait a whole week for the next episode. Which is also the last episode. I can't believe my favorite anime this season is coming to an end.

I expected to see Naru to be sad after learning that Handa isn't in the house anymore... but they still made me fell sad when they called him.

Handa's mom "tsunbaka". Hahaha.

Miwa losing to silver was hilarious.

Handa's Mom : "I won't let him go to that island again."
Handa's Dad: "If you think so, it'll be better for you to persuade him not to go."
Mom: "Are you saying I should hurt him? You're too cruel!"

How can I say about that? Oh well, that's life. I love her.

Sensei sure is impulsive lol.But seriously throwing that drink on his star calligraphy before hearing what the Director had to say XD.

Everyone calling Sensei was nice,made me start crying.

"Please come home real soon." ;____;

Poor Miwa-chan only got silver.

Definitely crying next episode.

He...


I'm sure everyone's guessed this already, I think he should have named his work "Home" but I'm a sentimental kind of cat :)

He threw tea on his "Star" because he knew (deep inside) that it wasn't "his style" which he wished so strongly for. It may have been great, but he longed for his work to "be part of him". It probably still looks great, even with stains :-)

Handa's antics were hilarious to watch. Can't wait to see his 'stone wall' masterpiece.
Was expected a more serious,melancholic episode, but this is much better. Can't believe this is ending next week. This definitely deserves more seasons.

Just hearing Naru's voice was enough to make the waterworks start a little. Just love that bugger. Already dreading the ending of this series, and no more Naru!

Sensei apologizing so sincere was a great heartfelt scene too. Just showed his tremendous growth. Great conclusion to the ordeal with the director.

Sensei's dad driving the car was hilarious, and he sure knows his son and himself, calling themselves both awkward which hits the nail right on his head. And I'll agree with all the others, sensei's mom is one hell of a milf. Thought she was the help with how young she looked, and that she could had possible feelings for sensei. Well wasn't completely wrong, just not romantic, but maternal.

I loved the part where Handa was hiding in the box and said "ship me back to the island", also I can't believe he ruined the "Star" calligraphy that looked so awesome!

The phone call had me crying like crazy! Especially the conversation with Naru

Naru - Sensei
Handa - Is this Naru?
Naru - Yep! It's boring without you here, Sensei. There's still gobs of stuff I wanna do with ya. An' so...
... Please come home real soon!
Handa - *smiling*
All the kids - We're waiting for ya!

I hope the calligraphy exhibition goes well, cuz I want Handa to return to the island where the people there don't care whether he is a world class calligraphy artist or just a goofy guy that treats the kids on the island like they are family.

The ending was cool when Miwa got second place and acted just like Handa.

Only one episode left and I need to make sure that I have a box of kleenex handy and keeping my fingers crossed that they announce a second season!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Exactly. He apologized at that time not because he wanted to get the director's forgiveness to secure his position but he honestly confessed his feelings about what he had done before.

It was a really nice way of handling this situation because rather than the island crying over Handa, it was Handa that was just missing the island so much.

I thought there were going to be crying and the feelings of being betrayed by the kids but I was surprised how maturely they handled Handa leaving the island.

Naru was sad yes but she did not beg him to come home but told him that she misses him and everyone just went back to their daily lives and trust Handa to come back.

Too sad this anime is nearly over.....it was one of the most surprising anime this season for me and i'm gonna miss every characters in it.
Anyway great episode this week and can't wait to see Handa new work and next episode the final and him return back to Naru & friends....
Is this an anime original ending or did it happens in the manga?

Loved how Miwa channeled Sensei at the very end. We also saw whose temperament he inherited from his parents. I hope most of the next episode takes place on the island.

Handa's behaviour this episode passed the line of stupid-funny and went deep into stupid-annoying zone. Pouring a drink on the old man and painting can't be called funny in any way. It wasn't dramatic either. It was just a pointless plot device to make him paint something new. It really leaves a bad taste.

Handa acting like a moron and throwing his drink on his painting AND the director made me want to punch him in the face. But the rest of the episode was great as always. The apology scene (before Handa went full retard) was especially done well.
Handa's mom was pretty hilarious, I lol'ed when she called him tsun-baka. And she's pretty hot too.
Also, Miwa seems to have caught Sensei's bug of not settling for a second place.
And I'm glad there's another episode, for a while I thought this was going to be the last one.

Whoa despite the lack of the village people, imo this ended up one of the most amazing episodes so far.

Very hilarious throughout and the last part with Naru and everyone calling Handa was really heartwarming. Tear-rendering without being sappy. I'm really excited to see Handa's calligraphy now.

LOL @Handa discussing his problems with Akki XD

And wow Handa's mom is a MILF!

As for the part when Handa impulsively threw the cup of drink, I agree with someone saying that it was too stupid and strange to happen. But anyway, I'm sure the directer knew it was not just a test but the actual calligraphy for the contest and it must be really difficult for Handa to make a new replacement up. To me, he seemed to punish Handa by pretending that he innocently believed it was just a test material and looked forwarded to seeing the actual work for the contest.

By the way, according to the short preview after the episode 10 on the official site (http://www.barakamon.jp/mijikamon/m10.html), Naru seemed to be really depressed whe she knew Handa had gone back to Tokyo.

Kawafuji trying to resist laughing made me laugh. LOL! That was Handa's mother? Wow. What a beauty. She thought Handa was doing bondage. Haha! Talking to his friends who were back at the island was heartwarming. I can already tell that Handa will come back to the island. He's not the same without Naru and the others. Haha! Too bad Miwa got silver, better luck next time.

Barakamon is one of the best shows running this season. It was awesome how Sensei didn't change into a new person over night, but retains some of his petulant impulsiveness. I like the director. Gets a mug of tea in the face and still retains his composure.

My favorite part of this episode was the kids talking to Sensei on the phone, especially Naru telling him that things were boring without him there and asking him to come home. Really touching in a simple way.

I guess Sensei's personality has rubbed off on Miwa!!

Handa-san really has problems with confidence, doesn't he? I wonder why, it's really a bit sad. It made him destroy a really beautiful piece.

So Handa has his good looks from his mom...

And he got lonely in Tokyo. Again, I wodner what sad childhood he must have had. No friends?
And now his only friends are a couple of kids on a remote island. Well, he's only 21, isn't he? That's pretty young still, not too old not to be friends with high school kids. The telephone call was sweet though. I actually cried a little.

I really wanted to see what he wrote!
