Nice to see the pasts and interactions between oniichans and imoutos. Lol Alex kept saying his pc froze, but he just wanted Taihei to see I guess :D
Kirie called her brother Bakuhatsu Gorira (Exploding Gorilla) = Bomber, great nickname there Kirie-chan ;)

It's a 4-koma comedy manga.


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.

Nice bonding and Umaru really does love her Onii-chan a lot! ^^

Good episode revealing the sibling pairs of the cast and Bomber's scene was the best haha.

I hope we get to see more of the mother. :x

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

Good episode. Umaru's character development is what I am looking forward in this series.

Woot... Bomber-san is Kirie's onii-chan! Too bad he got the "un-cute" imouto XD

TragicRomance said:
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.


Haha that's what I was thinking too.

The part where the duo visited an old candy shop made me feel like it was a crossover with Non non biyori. LOL.


Same xD Especially since I'm currently watching the Repeat as well :D

Someone please make a gif woth Bomber changing his facial expression xD that was hilarious xD he seems like a clingy oni-san, maybe that's why kirie turned out the way she is xD

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.

Nice to meet another Aria appreciator. That scene and the music completely made my mind at peace, and immediately reminded me of when [Aria Spoiler]
Absolutely breathtaking.

bro, I was afraid that Umaru and Sylphyn were yelling "obaa-chan", but ended up finding out that the grandma of the candy store died and that that was the reason why the store seems so vacant.

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.

Enjoyed this immensely.

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*

JUMP-Senshi said:
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???


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.

So, in the end, what on earth were those?!

I want Alex and Bomber to meet Umaru in her beautiful, teenage form. I want to see their reaction to that.

Still, Bomber is an ultra creepy brother with an equally creepy sister.

Her brother is the best, she is so nasty with him but he continues to help. The moment with the cat was good, Taihei remembered his mother. Umaru is totally like her.

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.
Himouto just keeps getting better. <3

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.

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

Please, more shupapan next episode!

Oh man, Umaru guilt tripping her brother because of that Miku figurine ... ah but, it's nice he tried to get her another one :3 That ramen sure looks delicious! Along with that candy shop ... so much food happened this time XD Man I sure wasn't expecting Bomba to be Kirie's older brother! :O That's so funny how all the brothers work together and the sisters are all in the same grade XD
Looks like we get some time with Taihei as he walks home, following a cat (reminds me of a Ghibli movie ...) and remembers doing the same thing with his mom :O Wow sure looks like Umaru all right. He's so sweet though ... I wish I had an older brother like him :')
Christmas and New Year's next episode already? Time skip or something? I mean it definitely looked like summer this episode haha XD

Episode substantial, both in history and advances and deepens interpersonal ties of the various characters in the story fun and easy to follow. Drawings and animations in the media, but always nice. The next episode looks very interesting. Bomber is too funny.

Of course big bro's coworker is Kirie's brother, small town haha. Nice to see the brother actually having some friends though, and taking an evening to enjoy himself instead of just going home to cook for Umaru. He's still young and deserves to enjoy life some and not just spoil his sister :P
