| I believe someone already pointed this out now that we're three episodes in, but the ED reminds me a lot of NHK ni Youkoso's first (and only?) OP. Still good tho. I can't get enough of Shiina. Her sleepy eyes were the best! |
 |
| Oh my, I want some omurice now. The three of them had like 10 plates all together, lol. Poor girl who lives downstairs. I hope that she gets invited to Ryou's place for dinner at some point in the series. |
 |
The best scene in this episode |
 |
| Fairly good episode, but they eat too much |
 |
| I can't imagine that any other studio than Shaft doing this show. 5/5. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| ''Food in manga (and anime) and dramas always looks better than reality'' ... cause of much grief xD The food animation was amazing but it looks like the character drawings dipped in quality. Or maybe that's just me. Seems like neither eating beforehand or during is helping. It still makes me hungry but sadly, nothing in the immediate vicinity is satisfying. I want bamboo shoot rice and omurice too~ |

| ALIENS why is this show so good. Still best show yo Nice familiar looking ufo at the end lol, also gotta love the previews they are great |
 |
| I just had dinner and after watching this, I feel hungry again. *drools* |
| I wanna eat an omurice so bad now. Also Shiina looks like a completely different person when she's doing her foodgasming. Like, her face just completely changes lol. |
 |
| Kirin is a psychic! Lots of rice in the seconds. I wonder how they eat so much o_o Yay Ryo learned that persistence leads to success! |

| I made a terrible decision by watching this on an empty stomach. That said, there's an urgency for me to make a rice omelette :P |
     |
| I made omurice myself awhile back. Craving it now. |
| Just what type of person do you have to be to enjoy food so much? It feels like i just watched a commercial for some new type of food. |

| Feel free to message me to chat. |
Context... |
| Kirin was a good girl this episode and did not become too jealous of Shiina. Now I want to learn how to cook a rice omelette. I've never had one. |
| futari doobeedoobop |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Aaahhh I am so hungry now! Time to make some rice ;) |
FatefulLove said: The liquidity of the omelettes T.T Eating together like family and Ryou getting lonely when they are gone ^^ I don't think I've tried any sort of omelette rice :O I want to try now! Pretty enjoyable as always, the catchphrase lol. yeah, that scene got to me as well. thank goodness they were just out getting food. |
| watched this episode while eating my lunch. Feels like i want their food instead x( and Shiina's foodgasm face is just wow xD so much difference |
 |
| I noticed the art in this episode was rather inconsistent at times, let's hope this won't become a recurring issue. The food still looks godly though, and the head tilts! They were pretty subtle this time around. Kirin was really adorable, i'm used to her high pitched voice already, so when she screams it's actually kinda sweet and hearthwarming :3 Another foodtastic episode. Man...i'm hungry, and this anime makes real food look like shit, feels like some hardcore torture. 4.6/5 |

| Amazing how they just keep eating :o They ate so many delicious dishes. |
| PriestSlayer said: I noticed the art in this episode was rather inconsistent at times, let's hope this won't become a recurring issue. You eyes are not deceiving you. It was quite inconsistent. I am sorry to tell you that I am certain that it will be a recurring issue. What viewers have to realize is that ① this is "Cute Girls Doing Cute Things", ② with a very few historical exceptions, CGDCT are never very popular and ③ any director who wants to be successful by making a CGDCT series has to be a genius at making something that will attract at least a small viewership while keep the budget minimal. To get a feel for the challenge of CGDCT, have a look at the "Amazon Stalker points" for this series as of this moment: V1 2015/04/24 BD 1523 DVD 345 BDSE -- DVDSE -- V2 2015/05/27 BD 1469 DVD 362 BDSE -- DVDSE -- V3 ... sorry, I got lazy ... V4 ... sorry, I got lazy ... V5 ... sorry, I got lazy ... V6 ... sorry, I got lazy ... Sorry, I only filled in the numbers for Volume 1 and Volume 2. The next column is the release date. After that, there are the points for the Blu-ray, the DVD and then the two special limited editions. At this point, the numbers for the special limited editions are still too small to make a reliable forecast, but be assured that they will be small. From many CGDCT series for which I have checked the Amazon Stalker points, these numbers are typical and in fact respectable. On the other hand, they are really low compared to popular series. "Free!" and "Sword Art Online" were in the range of about 10000 to 20000 points. Given these severe limitations, my own opinion is that the two directors, Akiyuki Shinbou (総監督:新房昭之) and Naoyuki Tatsuwa (監督:龍輪直征) are doing an excellent job. Their task is not to create fantastic anime. Rather, they have to take straw and do their best to spin it into gold. The quality of the animation and the art for Episodes 1 and 2 was breathtaking, but that was a very expensive undertaking done just to pull in the viewers. Those SHAFT tilts are incredibly expensive to animate, I suspect. It was a classic "animation bump". In order to pay for the large costs of the first two episodes, fans are going to have to accept that the quality of the remaining episodes will be a bit lower than they might have hoped. On the positive side, don't you feel happy that this anime series has FOUR theme songs rather than the usual two? As usual, they have the OP and the ED theme. In addition, there is that special theme song that they play during the preview for the next episode. Finally, there is a fourth theme song that they play while they are announcing the sponsors, which most of us won't see. The first director, Akiyuki Shinbou, it is a veteran. He has directed 34 TV anime series plus 20 OVAs. Also, he had a long career before he became a director. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiyuki_Shinbo |
| shaft producing another sub par anime but somehow has a large following.. dropped. |
 |
| Shiina looked really weird with the foodie-vision. These girls would turn so fucking obese irl. |

| SHAFTing intensifies loved this episode even more than the previous ones ^^ How can this show get any more better than it was already? mangamuscle said: +1I think the subtext is that food=sex and Kirin is ok with having a threesome, but no cheating behind her back! >_< |
 |
| So many headtilts, CG of the rice cooker when it opens, and just one plate full of rice is already too much for me, those three are in gluttony especially Kirin. |
 |
| Shiina is so pretty it is not even funny Shaft really does exceed in making pretty animated girls |
| Matias067 said: ...CG of the rice cooker when it opens... Yes, their 3DCG of the grey ceramic rice cooker from 09:40 to 10:02 is very nice. A lot of the effort in 3DCG goes into entering a mathematical description of the shape, color and texture of the object into a computer. They have special software tools for that. It would certainly be a lot easier for something round, like their rice cooker. The bumpy ceramic-like texture is nice. They even fooled me into thinking that the surface was sort-of reflective and sort-of dull, like real ceramic. But I think that they faked that part, after looking really closely. I have only seen rice cooked in an electric rice cooker, which is a lot simpler. You don't have to adjust the flame or check the time. |
| This anime is so not fair. Machiko is in 9th grade? Don't kid with me. She looks like a highschool senior. As delicious as this episode was, these girls eat too much and don't get fat at all. Shiina is the best. |
 |
| Another really cute episode! So hungry as usual after watching each episode. Those girls can eat LOL Shiina is so cute, she's my favorite. ^_^ The ending was so funny, Kirin sending her the pancake text right after Shiina said let's get pancakes xD |
| this episode is so full of omuraisu, it made me crave all the way.. :) agree at Shiina is best girl ! |
OSOI! |
| this time they didn't recycle scenes from the episode for the ending theme the ending sequence wasn't impressive, but it wasn't bad either. the omelet rice looked delicious ^^ |

| I think that the soft-cooked omurice and the film that Ryou, Kirin and Shiina were watching are an homage to Itami Juzo’s “Tampopo” |
| “Apparently, this style of omuraisu / omurice (where the soft-cooked omelette is placed on top of a bed of fried rice, rather than wrapped around the rice) was developed for the movie [Tampopo] by the director [Itami Juzo] with the cooperation of Taimeiken, an old yoshoku (or yohshoku or youshoku (Japanese-style western cooking)) restaurant in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.” http://justhungry.com/tampopo-omuraisu-rice-omelette-taimeiken-yoshoku-restaurant |
| @Bontakun65: What an astounding piece of trivia! I have watched that movie so many times and remember that scene very well. But I always assumed that this was a very basic recipe along the lines of what mom would make for an ordinary dinner. He sure put a lot of ketchup on top. But it was for the kid, and kids like tons of ketchup on top. So it did make sense to do that. I would have been happy to eat it without any ketchup, since the fried rice would provide enough sauce. The omelet was done just right, in my opinion. Not too firm and not too liquidy. The Koufuku girls don't cook their omelets quite long enough, it seems to me. I just hope they washed that plate before they returned it. It's a classic movie. |

| That background music is the preview though. Cook, eat, laugh~ I always eat a lot of stuff when I watch this. This show is definitely lethal without food in your house. So much shaft too, amaze! |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| This is a relaxing show! Plus it has so much food porn! I literally started making sounds when the food was finished at the end. I would love to try some Omlet Rice in the future. There isn't much to say about this show other than its good, cute, and makes you hungry. That and the ending tune for the previews is fantastic! |
| idea for a sequel: those three in a show about sports to get thin again. ^^ |

Speaking personally, my frying pan is made of cast iron. In other words, it is a frying pan made out of iron. It is not made out of stainless steel. So it is a black color rather than shiny. It rusts very easily unless it is taken care of in a special way. It is extremely heavy and thick compared to a frying pan made of stainless steel or one of these modern no-stick frying pans (which are made of aluminum). Iron itself is a shiny metal. However, iron oxide is a dark color. Any object made of iron will be shiny when you buy it but will darken quickly. I could never imagine switching back to another kind of frying pan. Cast iron is superior in every way. However, it is not modern technology. If you look at the frying pans that were used a century ago, they were all cast iron. You buy one and your children and grandchildren will also be using it. Compare that to a non-stick (e.g. Teflon / T-fal ) frying pan where you have to replace it within a fairly short time. There is a lot of special knowledge required to use cast iron. For example, you have to pick up the frying pan with two hands or else you will break your wrist. I don't know for sure, but I tend to share your mother's concern that Teflon might not be good for health. It is certain that many organic chemicals are coming out during the obvious decomposition process that takes place each time you cook something. Perhaps some of those chemicals end up in the food. Perhaps some of those chemicals are unhealthy to eat. Maybe young children are more susceptible. I don't know. In my case, the cast iron will leach a certain amount of iron into my food. That sounds like a good thing to me. Men normally don't actually need more iron, but women almost always do, if I recall correctly.  |

| Great episode! I didn't realized this was made by Shaft until the tilt scenes keep getting frequently as well as those messy hair :P Wow i love Omuraisu!! The color of the egg, ketchup on the side rice on the bottom. WAAAH i want this :O Shiina seems to be enjoying her time, glad Kirin doesn't mind her :P 3,000 Leagues in Search of Omuraisu seems to be based on something? Lol Ryou thinking Shiina is being abducted by aliens! It's nice to watch a simple and very good Anime. No over the topness, no fanservice, Just three girls eating food and enjoying and having a good t ime. Plus Shaft tilt heads and close up lip scenes :D I wonder if we'll see the next door neighbor in the next episode?! The one who only orders Pizza, she must be very jealous seeing these three cooking to their hearts content! Can't wait for the next episode! |
AngeCross said: Great episode! 3,000 Leagues in Search of Omuraisu seems to be based on something? My guess is Tampopo, directed by Itami Juzo. The soft-cooked omuraisu was created for the movie, as I posted above. Also the main character, Goro (played by Yamazaki Tsutomu) wears a cowboy hat, like the character in the film the three girls were watching.  Scene the girls were watching.  Goro (Yamazaki Tsutomu) in Tampopo |
| Episode sympathetic, perhaps with a bit of exaggeration in the culinary field, but not bad storytelling that has managed to understand the underlying message. Too bad that the study Shaft has worked in a really mediocre this time, very ugly drawings. The ending and the PV, were really cute! *saved the end card* |

| the art suffered a bit in this episode. Inconsistent afternoon/night background and fighers/limbs out of proportion. But food was really delicious :) |
