Ha, this episode was awesome. It had the calligraphy and beach part with the octopus hunting. RIP Naru

At some parts, the episode did almost scare me a little though. Still, it was great. Naru is having a lot of fun and I thought the episode was funny as well.

lol that sea slug that Naru had was weird. Handa got a bit scared at some points though, he was just looking out for everyone and concerned for their safety. This was a nice calming episode.

Nice episode, I liked it but Sensei fails so much that makes me feel a bit sad for him.

Nice, fun beach episode. Handa was unconscious for most of the trip, but everyone else was having a good time. The group hug was cute.

Really fun episode, it was a beach episode but without the usual fanservice, it was a beach episode and just that, really liked it. Sensei was dead for the most part though. When he started crying it was the best thing ever!

Konomon! I wanted some the more he said it. Then Naru brought some more! I was so happy for him. xD

The God of Calligraphy? lol that's funny

The faces they made when they thought it was his girlfriend! xD
Like really this is your most precious possession lmao.

I really can't wait to buy this on blu ray.

Oh and it's something wrong with that damn slug.

Lol at the Konomon addiction at the beginning.

The calligraphy lesson was pretty fun.

Naru does not want Handa to be married.

Handa got 3 trips at the rocky beach....too sad for him.

Ah, Handa's life has seen a new light and calling for his calligraphy... a light called konomon! XD

HAHAHHA, Handa in teacher mode scared the girls senseless.

Naru shock... poor thing was shocked hearing that sensei could have a long-distance relationship with a girlfriend.

Tamako was really interesting after she heard that Kawafuji was a guy lol.

It was really funny seeing how worried Naru was about the fact that sensei could have a wife.

The girls sure let their fury loose on sensei about him only thinking of calligraphy.

Sensei showed a lot of worry for the safety of everyone at that "rocky beach" and got himself knocked out in the end... poor fellow...

It was nice seeing Hina talk a lot more this episode since she's usually pretty quiet.

The part where sensei misunderstood Tamako was really great XD.

Was that ugly thing really a sea slug? The thing scared the crap out of Hina and Naru... even though she got used to it really fast in the end.

Poor sensei KO-ed himself 3 times by the time they had decided to go home.

All's well that ends well.

At the end of the episode we see Kawafuji bring someone that wants to meet sensei... I hope he won't steal sensei's harem...

.....in fact in the manga after seeing Miwa and Tama wearing their gym uniform, Handa faces the reader and says something like, that he felt sad for the readers cause even though it is a beach episode, they still don't get any fan service.....
.....I though it was gonna be good after reading the translated chapters of the manga, but had no idea it was gonna be this fun, undoubtedly my favorite anime of this season so far.....

The Konomon part left me so confused haha.

We don't see Sensei and Hiroshi together a lot but their relationship seems to have been growing on the friendly side *_* (I must say, Tama is my spirit animal.)

Seishuu crying at the end was so precious, I'm glad everyone loves him so far!

And wow, finally suspense! I'm kind of sure that kid with Kawafuji is the one who won the calligraphy contest Seishuu was really mad about. But things are going to get interesting, can't wait for next week!

You know, every time I watch an episode of Barakamon, it always feels like its over in less than five minutes. @.@

I love how Sensei couldn't think of anything but Konomon after eating it.

The rocky beach was pretty fun and hilarious. I actually thought something bad was gonna happen for a little bit.

Now Kawafuji and some other guy his on the island to find Sensei.

And the final part about humidity with hair sooo true for me! I'm glad I live in a dry area. :3

Helping out with doing the calligraphy, but too strict. The talk about his girlfriend.

Playing at the waterside. lol @ he thought that she was talking about the guy he loves, but it was her fujoshi imagination. So many times of him tripping.

KajiKaji's character!! He finally appears! with the main guy's boss, who suddenly came to the countryside to visit him.

Yet another wonderful episode! This anime makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, it's so adorable!

As we see once again, Seishuu is too focused on technique, correct form, and the fundamentals to actually think about developing his own unique style. But I guess this is a greater metaphor for the entire anime. He comes from a more rigid society where everything has rules, whereas in the village, everyone just does what they want, without regard to what rules are supposed to be. If he can adapt his attitude to fit that of the townspeople, I'm sure he'll find his own calligraphy style as well.

Though he's certainly out-of-place in the town, poor Seishuu, tripping on the rocks at the beach. That scene with him crying and blushing at the same time, and then the kids coming to hug him, made my heart melt a little. This anime does have important messages, but it's also something that really places a value on friendship and our relationships with others [ including whatever the fujoshi thinks ;) ].

sensei is the best character in this season imo
the best part of this anime is that it is very original...it's really entertaining and meaningful, without being about the average student and his crush, etc..

why censor the sea slug?

I guess I know why... They even gave away the idea with that "white thing", if you know what I mean. I guess that was wrong since it was a kid holding it...

Nice episode, super enjoyable.

Probably for comedic purposes? Censored things always seem funny to be, but that might just be me.

I really liked this episode, and furthermore I actually enjoyed the fact that they faked the tragedy of Naru, less predictable.

The fujoshi jokes are always so gold.

The sea slug innuendo joke aside, I really liked this episode getting to see Sensei grow more of a compassionate person to others then just his work and being accepted into the group. This episode put a genuine smile to my face.

Haha, what a fantastic series this is! I haven't been this entertained by a slice of life anime since Clannad. Everything is just charming, lovely, and hilarious.

This might well end up being my favorite of the season once it's finished.

Yeah, pretty obvious it was intended to be sexual, considering the censored white innards coming out and how Miwa said it would "make her an adult". Took me by surprise, considering how innocent the series had been until then.

Another great episode!

One of the things I love about this anime is that I get totally immersed when I watch that it makes it hard to wait a week to see it again!

I love Handa's interactions with the kids! Everyone has just great personalities and the way that everyone has fun is awesome.
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!
