YES, a little bit of Ebina-chan is always good. And, Bomber was hilarious this episode, those facial expressions, lol. Also, didn't cross my mind that Kirie's his sister. Liked this episode.

Hmm average episode.
We figured out Bomber's imouto was Kirie. I guess. That intern or whoever it is at Oni-chan's workplace said he has an imouto too. Well guess we'll see that soon.

You mean Alex? He is Sylphy's brother. Watch episode 4 again. Even in this episode they eat Yogure in a flashback.

Looks like next episode we're going to find out more about who the person in the flashback is... We also should start seeing the web of relationships building between the various onii-chan and imouto.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Man, I almost thought they'll go for a feel route twice with calling the grandmother and Taihei remembering his mother. I love it. C:

A pretty cute episode as always, and it does show Umaru showing remorse for her actions and that she DOES love her brother very much and appreciates what he does. Give that man a prize.

Admittedly slower but hey, I still liked it a bit.

Also, Kirie and Bomber are related? Interesting... (Though I really want an episode revolving around Taihei's "girlfriend", maybe the next one could be that)

Another Question:

Does Ebina have an older brother or is it not revealed yet?

So she was their mother, she looks exactly the same as Umaru. I can safely say that their father looks exactly like Taihei. Also, the Best Onii-chan of 2015 goes to... Taihei-kun. He's a saint, period.

Haha Bomber the man. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THO: when I was a kid I used to drink this thing called Yakult, is that what they were referencing in this episode???
Let’s say you drink too much strawberry milk, and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. You don’t want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong! You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose! You think that all your life has led to this moment! YOU'RE STILL IN BED! That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads! But you can’t stop! THAT’S THE TRUTH OF THE STRAWBERRY MILK! DO YOU GET IT? ~ Gintoki

Very cute and funny episode, as always. I bet that part of the reason he's something of a siscon is because Umaru takes after his kind-looking mom.

Jinyax said:
That end, though. I was already getting ready to get devastated. Luckily it didn't happen... yet.


It's a 4-koma comedy manga. I don't think it'd get THAT dramatic. But I must admit, that sequence did feel moody. It does make you wonder how their parents are doing.

Based off that sequence, you can infer that the mother has already passed away. Maybe that's the reason Umaru turned to a closet recluse/otaku, in order to help cope with the loneliness?
Maybe that's also why she's a brocon too. Because for siblings, they do seem close to each other. Even in himouto-mode, she still cares for Taihei (albeit still being mischievous most of the time).

For a moment, this anime became Aria with Taihei chasing the cat and remembering his past. That was very relaxing, funny how it happened in the same episode where Bomber mentioned that seeing Umaru was "healing" to him.

Also, interesting how the three onii-chan and their three imoutos respectively know each other.

Please, more shupapan next episode!

It's not 4-koma. The format is normal, just that it only has about 9 pages per chapter.

And for anyone hoping for some revelation about their mother, even us manga reader didn't get any of that.

So they call him "Bomber" because his hair looked like the aftermath of a bomb explosion. A funny character.

I have a younger sister whom I love dearly, and this episode really captured the older brother-younger sister dynamic perfectly: I see large parts of myself in Taihei, and also in Takeshi getting denied bonding time :(

The star of this show to me really has been the relationship dynamic between Taihei and Umaru; very heartwarming and well-done.

Some good revelations, and the speed of development in the story seems a bit faster than what I remember for the manga.

They finally revealed the sibling connections for Kirie and Syphine.

Oh damn. Taihei's mom is a pretty much grown up Umaru. I wish they tell us more about the family background of Taihei and Umaru.

Hatsune Migu's expression. O_O

Really like the moments when UMR and TSF are together. I thought for a second that the grandma might be dead. >.<

Everybody has an onii-chan! :D

Next episode, can't wait to see more Kanau. >_<

Umaru chan, you totaly overdid it with the doll box issue. Fuck you ;___;

Ah~ the dagashi store trip was my favorite part though. So many things in there *o* ! I can totally understand Sylphin's enthusiasm. Can also totally understand Umaru's cola flavored things reaction. Mhmm. *Colaholic*

Was curious about those little cute miniature cups/bottles and googled for a bit. They aren't Yakult, they are called Morocco Yogurt (at least that's the only brand I found).

I was afraid they were having a dream or grandma's ghost was making them see the store, and then dissapear as soon as they step out of it, but leave the candies they bought.

Taihei got lost on memory lane for a bit...felt nostalgic. Sometimes I just wanna follow a cat around my neighborhood too...Beautiful scene.
it was also really heartwarming when Umaru and Sylphyn went to the candy store.

Loved this episode. Glad to see that we still get to see all characters now and then, although I'd like to see more of Ebina and Kirie especially.

The last part with Taihei going after the cat and reminiscing about his past was really relaxing, it really got to me for some reason. I hope it has some significance.
