kuuderes_shadow said: Actually the anime is portraying the elder brother as a kind of genius too - not as super-genius as Renchon, but he seems to have a lot of strong capability in many things. So perhaps he uses his skills to good advantage and manages to make money from those channels? Speculation of course.If they're rich then the question just switches to being "how do they make so much money?" xchee said: I actually timed it when I watched it the third time so the 1min15sec duration should be quite accurate (give and take a few seconds). Was Ren-chon's close up really a minute long? Wow didn't realize that. But then again I was busy thinking "is she going to cry? No she's a tough kid...oh wait no...no don't cry! Oh no she cried :( " And I'm pretty sure the thousands who watched that episode thought the same too. The static cut was so powerful that I actually found tears flowing out of my eyes as the static cut continued, and my tears came even before Renchon's tears started to flow. |
| 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. |
| It just felt a bit too long. Like, I almost had tears, they were just starting to water, but then the scene continued on and on, and I just lost it, and became bored with watching the still screen. It's probably partially because of my ranking for Ren-chon, but also because of how my brain never wants to stop really and is always moving forward. |
| ^ But if you think about it - 1min15sec is not really long but it feels long because people are used to fast action in anime. I would say that 1min or so is pretty realistic duration for a girl like Renchon who does not usually cry. |

If they had stopped it probably just fifteen seconds earlier I'd have been fine. |
kuuderes_shadow said: Then again, there must be something else going on in this place. Otherwise why would Hotaru's parents have moved there for work? Nowadays it is not farfetched to work at home or to run a business from home, my brother works at an acupuncture clinic and the owner lives in china! He does come to visit two or three times a year, but uses the internet most of the time to manage the business. I remember a decade ago my japanese teacher told me how "unsafe" had Tokyo become, young punks now carried switch knives and there were stories about random stabbings. So it would not be surprising if they already owned a piece of land for them to build a house and move in to the safer countryside, with internet, satellite television and wireless phones whatever else you need you can buy at a nearby city on weekends. IMO the harshest part must be winter, the sense of isolation must be hard for city dwellers. |
| But then they wouldn't have been moving because of their work, would they? |

kuuderes_shadow said: But then they wouldn't have been moving because of their work, would they? We don't know if the father still has the same job or has just started his own company/freelancer job. We do not know if he lives with them or visits them on the weekends or not at all. In the end we do not know and probably never will since that is not the focus of the story, it is more likely we will know about what high school silent-kun or komari intend to enroll in (Tokyo is probably not the only option, there ought to be another one closer to home). |
| Lovely episode. I wish I could hear Suguru's voice, and he has talent playing guitar. I love him so much. |
| Did their brother ever talked? |

I lived in Tokyo for many years and it is still a much safer place than many cities around the world that I have ever lived.I remember a decade ago my japanese teacher told me how "unsafe" had Tokyo become, young punks now carried switch knives and there were stories about random stabbings. |

| Hotaru is way too mature! And I thought we were finally gonna hear Megane-kun talk :<! Another great and lovely episode. Really hope there will be a second season! |
DannyREN said: Hotaru is way too mature! Hotarun is far from perfect, she gets hysterical with ease (alebit Komari is worse, I still facepalm remembering how she was trying to drive away evil spirits from the temple -_-; ) |
DannyREN said: And I thought we were finally gonna hear Megane-kun talk Does anyone other than Konomi call him that? Or, for that matter, has anyone other than Konomi and his family ever even mentioned him specifically? I don't think even Kazuho has... |

| Being Komari is suffering... MrJc said: again Suguru is just awesome |
| Will there be a second season? My guess: Yes! To get a sense of how likely it is that we will see more of Non Non Biyori, I looked at Amazon Stalker. For each case, this is Blu-ray + DVD for Volume 1 as of today. 7790 Kill la Kill 7201 Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb 6753 Yuru Yuri Season 1 5753 Yuru Yuri Season 2 5585 Kiniro Mosaic 5207 Non Non Biyori I decided to compare Non Non Biyori to some other successful recent Cute Girls Doing Cute Things (CGDCT) series. I added Kill la Kill as well just for comparison. There seems to be a continuous insatiable thirst for CGDCT in recent years. Remarkably, I can count eleven CGDCT anime series in 2013 alone. Clearly, we are presently in a golden age of CGDCT. The expectation of such strong viewer demand could help to explain the excellent production quality of Non Non Biyori. BlueKaitoKun said: It's a shame that there are only 4 episodes left ._. they should do a second season. Agreed!!! |

| Kitakubu has too much of a niche appeal. Non Non Biyori can be appreciated and loved by anyone. |

| Ugh, I hope they don't do this again. There's nothing canon between those two and it's just the typical "durr she's so cute and tries to act so mature and adult like!!11" shit. The two worst characters with an episode all focused on them, terrible. More Natsun and Renge-chon when? |

Before this episode we had only had half an episode from Komari's perspective - far less than any of the other 3 main characters. Give her a chance in the spotlight too. And Hotaru's crush on Komari is very much canon - just as it is canon that Komari doesn't even realise it. |

Renge has some mad skills and the planes flying along with the OST was really a nice touch. And no, I don't see anything canon about that. She finds Koma cute, Hotarun isn't madly, deeply in love with her. |

| 5/5 "I do not feel sentimental!" LOL It took just one episode so to cheer me up on a cold day and moralein umidaed also gray. The warm colors and the atmosphere sweet and funny, they were a lifesaver. Plot nice and smooth, I hope to see you tuttte four seasons! * _ * Storytelling with two faces, is very cute, see a romantic Komari-chan while in the meantime the other make the atmosphere all around funny and hilarious. Great beautiful thought to insert another new character, so the narrative is more stimulated. Character design cute and very simple, because then fail during the whole episode to keep on good levels? D: I love that episode too, see Komari in trouble all the time makes you so kawaii! Poor thing ... I agree! :D kuuderes_shadow said: Incidentally diospyros kaki is the scientific name of a species of persimmon, and 'jiro' is a Japanese cultivar of this species. Hence the 'name' Kakijiro. Oh! We also have some scientific references! Good! : D P. S. Scenarios nice, too bad they are not excelled in every scene, good autumn landscapes, but Suguru's room a little more detail would have gave way to understand her taste in figures! ASD BGM very beautiful! |

| how can we hear suguru talk? he doesnt even have a seiyuu lol only 4 episode till the end ,but i want more Q.Q |
Feer19 said: only 4 episode till the end ,but i want more Q.Q Don't remind me of such things. Oh well, at least the first BR comes out only a couple of days after the last episode airs. Goodness knows how long it will take to actually arrive though. |

| It's not something you particularly notice on the first watch through. Although it does explain his clay creation and how attached he got to it. |

| Slice of life at it's best Poor Komari chan is such a clutch and not trendy I had some good laughs with the MP3, Chou Chou and more The environment of Autumn was brought at well and highly detailed of the forest It was nostalgic when they brought out those fragile plane toys and threw them far away Renge surprised me again with her witty comments Konomi's appearance was out of nowhere, but blend in nicely The soundtrack is so good, a must have when it's out |
| http://i.imgur.com/DMgok1o.jpg This is the same face i make when i don't know what the hell somebody is talking about. |
 |
| 05:52 dat nekome 13:45 LOOOOL Konomichan is my konomi. 6.5/10 for this episode. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| i knew when they started drawing that ren-chan might be a decent artist xD lovely autumn feel, there friendship is so realistic, and when they were both sleeping under the tree and she started drawing, can't help but see that and smile :) such a feel good anime, but also with humour that i can enjoy which is rare actually |
| lol we almost got to hear him!! >< |
 |
| I wanted to see the other picture Ren drew, fml. Good episode, moar. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| nooo! D: he was just about to speak |
| Ren-chon's drawing skills <3 I see Hotaru is very much in love with Koma-chan..Her lovely eyes are just cute . It's very nostalgic to see those airplanes.I had played with these when I was younger. |
 |
| Komari would be much more likeable if she wasn't obsessed with becoming a woman. |
Sombrefloe said: Komari would be much more likeable if she wasn't obsessed with becoming a woman. That's a very significant part of her character, though. Probably because she knows that next year she'll be the oldest in the school, and the following year she won't even be there any more... yet at the moment she's still really just a kid. Especially with Hotaru's arrival accentuating this, she feels as though she has a responsibility to grow up. |

| Shintani Ryoko's character.. Such a normal girl xD Lol.. Koma-chan owned by Hotarun Ren-chon's realistic drawing.. so real *_* Ah Suguru... We just want to hear your voice :( Dried Kakijiro~ xD Anyone notice the UMA (Unidentified Mysterious Animal)? kuuderes_shadow said: tytheimmortal said: nii-chan best girl ...what? Wat? (Insert wat pic here) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Wow, this might just be my favourite episode yet! Komari was at her most adorably hilarious, and I love what they did with Suguru playing the guitar and talking at the same time. XD And of course, the ally of justice, Stem Ranger! (which even Komari wanted to do in the end :D) The art in this episode was beautiful once again, with the leaves being blown about and lying on the ground, and that log fire at the beginning. So yeah, great episode, I still haven't stopped smiling. :) |
| "Get chance and luck!" |
| Wow really, the scenery in this episode, the artwork was done very well, I just had to pause on few instances to take snapshot of the scenery and set them as my computer background. Dat guitar, nii-san's a cool dude XD |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Great episode! Renge sure can draw! |
 |
| Koma-chan faces are the best xD I like how the brother was casually playing guitar. The soundless brother never get old :P Hotarun obscession for Koma-chan is disturbing xD They are so cute :3 Ren-chon drawing is just too good, I feel like I'm such a shitty drawer... Well, in fact I am. Stalk Ranger! |
