LOL oh Takeo...


Cute episode. We get more Takeo/Yamato bonding like usual. However, I also liked the bonding between Yamato and Suna as well. I can't help but laugh at Takeo wearing an apron and serving drinks though lol

I find it funny how Takeo's looks seem to run in the family and how he ended up working in some place that seems like a gay bar or something. Seems like just the kind of thing Takeo would do. Also, it was interesting to see that there is more to Suna than what Takeo knows about him: it really adds depth and realism to their relationship and makes it all the more interesting.

Another solid episode.

Even when there's drama, this series is still very low-stress. I love that.

Suna still looks out for Takeo as good as he can despite having his own very problems which are very severe (his dad having heart problems). He wants Takeo and Yamato to have a great birthday and not have it ruined by his problems. I can understand him.

I think, Takeo and Yamato still will do something about this.

Dem Feelz ;_; esp when Takeo put his hand on the wall which Suna was leaning on :(

The Bromance is just way too strong! Suna is just the best friend anyone could hope for. He's so damn nice.

I'm a guy but I'll say, his laughs are really cute ^^;

First time we get to see Suna that serious probably. How he refused Takeo coming to the surgery with him.

Takeo in the Machi bar was just....O_O oh god!

Holy shit though. Takeo's gonna be an oniichan Lol XD

Takeo's angels and his mother are special too lol. Now I want to see Takeo's dad or else his younger sibling's look is pretty much guaranteed!

Suna really is nice to do all that for Takeo. It really would be a great moment when Takeo can truly help Suna in a direct way.

Takeo's job is absolutely the best, glad that with him being himself would be that compatible to a job.

Looking forward to the day of June 15th.

Suna helped Takeo to come up some ideas what to do with Yamato on her birthday.

Suna asked Takeo not to come to the surgery with him.

I'm looking forward to see Takeo spend his time with Yamato on her birthday.

I was expecting something like this to happen, and of course it would be on the same day as Yamato's birthday... it's kind of a hard decision between going with Suna or Yamato. But I think Takeo made the right choice, yeah, respecting Suna's feelings was definitely the right choice... I hope it actually is...

HNNNNNGH THIS ANIME

First I'm laughing at the fact Takeo's working at what could be a gay bar and he's wearing booty shorts, and the next moment we learn his best friend's father is in the hospital. I'm still recovering from that whiplash, hadn't gotten it that badly since Angel Beats.

Is Takeo's mother really pregnant? Hm, it was just something that came right out of the blue that I can't help but wonder "Really?"

Suna's ability to recall specific details from a while ago reminds me of my memory in regards to things my friends tell me from a conversation from a while ago. It's sort of uncanny. Lol, on the flip side, my short term memory is short of meh.

Great episode yet again! Absolutely love the cast for this series. I imagine Yamato will probably be the catalyst for getting Suna to open up some more.

And now they added Suna on the cake in the opening XD

Takeo has ridiculous eyesight to be able to see the date from a park bench lol. Suna is the greatest bro, helping Takeo plan his date despite the personal issues he was dealing with. Everyone needs a Suna in their life. And I lost it when they showed where Takeo was working haha. Overall, nice balance of comedy and drama in this episode, hopefully Suna's dad is fine (I have a bad feeling though......)

This week’s episode “My Friend” sets the theme immediately with a nostalgic dream Takeo has about the day he met Suna. Suna looks cool, even on the swing, but Takeo senses he’s lonely too. So he runs over, swings himself into a bush, and makes Takeo laugh. Ten years later, and it’s pretty much the same story with these two, who are for all intents and purposes brothers by another mother (and father).

That past gives way to a present upon cloud nine, with Takeo managing to wring “Don’t Trouble Yourself For Little Old Me” Yamato, whom I notice Takeo isn’t calling “Rinko” yet (to do so would be a big step for the big guy). But as his super long-range vision indicates, her birthday is only ten days away. All she wants is to spend the whole day with him, but he wants to plan a special day for her, for the same reason she wants to  plan one for his birthday next Jan. 1: because he loves her, and doing things for people you care about makes you happy.

Takeo also gets big news from his super-tough mama: at age forty (but physically 22 according to her), she’s going to have another baby. The talk of birthdays gets Takeo thinking about how people are born, and how glad he is that Yamato was born, and that he had the luck to find her. We already know Takeo is going to be a great big brother, and probably father as well.

What he’s not so great at yet is planning birthday dates; he packs the day with so much stuff without including travel time or accounting for the weather. Enter Suna, who brings the schedule back down to earth, ironically enough with a bunch of activities that he and Takeo once engaged in, and were instances when Takeo did something silly that made Suna laugh.

Takeo’s kindness and funniness are what drive Suna to want to help him so. The scene where he effortlessly charms the salesperson into holding a broach Takeo wants to get for Yamato is a nice example: Suna knows of his powers, but rather than use them to live the life of a playboy, he uses them to help out a friend when he can.

So it’s interesting and intriguing that throughout the episode Suna is clearly hiding something from Takeo and reflecting any attempts for Takeo to learn what that is. This led a part of me to wonder when the other shoe was going to drop. Now that I know what it was that was really troubling him, I feel bad for thinking ill of him. That’s powerful characterization right there.

Turns out while his mom and sister are abroad and incommunicado, he’s been all alone in dealing with his hospitalized dad, who has a history of heart problems, and he’s having surgery on Yamato’s birthday. Suna kept it from him because he knewTakeo would offer to spend the day with him instead of his girlfriend.

Suna tells him straight up: that wouldn’t make him happy. He wants his dear friend, who never had any other girl like him back (besides Suna’s sister, but he didn’t know that!) to spend Yamato’s birthday with Yamato. Takeo respects his wishes, and tells Suna not to worry about him, all while in his muscle-revealing “bro cafe” uniform (which is pretty much the perfect part time job for Takeo).

And like he did when Takeo first got on the swing next to him and performed a physical feat of buffoonery, Suna’s frown turns upside down. Seeing Takeo happy makes him happy. He’s a hell of a guy. But I still hope he too finds a nice girl at some point in this show’s run!
