What a dream lol

I know the show isn't supernatural but it had a slightly "fantasy" feel to it. Souta's mom is just...quite something:


Funny episode overall.
Yamada still remains relevant.

Wow, his mother IS scary according to his dream. So 2nd sister had a nightmare about the mother, too. Those siblings that added in 2nd season accompanies her. Everyone except youngest is too dark. Wow, she came back very late!

The lady tries to work for the girl with the sword, but she cannot do anything. She still wants Paffe, though. Not only mother is late, she made Yamada's mother to pretend to be her and go on live interview. He thinks that the girl who is afraid of the guy is in danger.

Kyouko got some nice screentime this week, hers has been lacking this season. Time for the matriarch of the Takanashi family to arrive this week. She's appropriately eccentric and just a bit cruel. Looks like she and Kyouko just might give our core relationships the final push they need...

Oh, and don't try to hide Ooto-san, I saw you this week! :D

So, Kozue seems to love both Youhei and Mitsuki at once. Threesome when? :9

Shizuka's appearance at night was creepy AF! The way her hair was waving, anyone would think that scene was taken straight out of some horror movie!
Pretty funny how she meddled with all her children except for Kozue who didn't get any attention at all. Takanashi X Inami so strong, it even brought her forth!

Inamiception.

More Satou X Yachiyo development incoming? Hopefully so. :3

Loli Trap Souta was too cute

Poor Kozue, her own mother doesn't know her name.

Popura's "Chichaku nai yo" to the small Parfait was cute

Yamada's mom being a replacement for Takanashi's mom was lol

Lol'd so much at the condolences for reconciliation about Minegishi to Kazue saying she laughed at the marriage then divorce XD

They're mom definitely has quite the character. First rate troll it seems

Souta finally admitted his feelings. The end is nigh

And Souta just indirectly and directly confessed to himself that he loves Mahiru. Pure gold.

For the two to have a nightmare about their mother, especially Souta's!

I almost cried when Kozue basically just stopped what she was doing and left, for a person that never leaves, it was quite the scene. Didn't expect her to be going through this but Kozue got some good developments!

Souta's "Mom, don't come home" and "I'm into it" were pretty damn hilarious.

How their mother handled each of the siblings. It really could be serious business with how she is.

Kyouko's natural ability of "I work in order to create more work!" isn't it just admirable? Exceptions... always the exceptions. xD

That mother is so scary and she's in the top center of the 3rd season poster lol... I understand why Souta is so scared of allowing her mother to know Inami lol.
Takanashi is going to destroy himself if he doesn't confess to Inami, I hope he will do it in this season :).

Takanashi's mother is rather interesting and pretty scary especially when she mentioned the way of getting a good partner.
No wonder their father died young.
It seems she also knows the way of motivating Izumi to do house chores and it was rather effective.

On the other hand it seems Takanashi's worries increased with his mother around.

He admitted it, he admitted he loves her, it's mutual, that's awesome, don't get me wrong...

But THAT POST-CREDITS BIT, OMG! KYOUKO-SAN WILL FINALLY ALLOW HER LITTLE YACHIYO TO REACH FOR HAPPINESS WITH SATOU, THIS SHALL BE THE MOST MOVING THING EVER!! When "comedy-only" characters prove they are not in fact comedy-only, that's when it hits me the hardest, I love it!

I feel for Kyouko so much - she pretty much raised Yachiyo and now she found love, time to leave the nest. Her most faithful Idiot Siblings are now friends (friends, right?) with Kozue, pretty much having gone from underlings (protected) to protectors. Not only that, Yamada, Takanashi, Inami, they've all changed for the better thanks to HER little restaurant. In a more serious work, she would probably have an episode dedicated to all the good around her that she had a big part in creating, partially at her own cost (can't imagine letting Yachiyo go would be super easy for her) - and then, when she's by herself, she just smiles softly and congratulates herself on a "job well done"... Before retiring and giving the restaurant's ownership to Satou or something...

Look, all I'm saying is KYOUKO APPRECIATION TIME.

Okay I got to be honest, am I the only one who finds this season rather lackluster and uninteresting compared to the first two? I mean really, I know it's ending and all, but because of how incredibly predictable all the conclusions of the loose ends are, the entire season just feels like a means to an end. We all know exactly what's going to happen, it's just a matter of getting there. So instead of funny antics, we just get an incredibly predictable romantic plot progression

Granted the fact that I hate Inami more than almost any other character in anime history probably doesn't help either but that's not the main issue here

Lol Kyoko wanting everyone to make her a Parfait.

Man, the Takanashi's mother was hilarious when she was teasing Kazue's reconciliation with Minegishi XD

Her skit certainly didn't disappoint with Kozue trying to get her attention and still got ignored and then Yamada's mom acting as her body double XD Seriously need more of her

Oh wow Souta finally admits that he loves Izumi.. dayum

Can't wait when Izumi finally meets the mother

Boy that was fun to watch.
Kozue obviously prefers Mitsuki over Youhei, she gravitates towards her way more than to him. It's sad how their mother constantly ignores/forgets and fails to acknowledge her existence. I can totally understand why she constantly vies for affection wherever she goes.

Souta on the other hand is getting more attention than he would like from his mother. I'm pretty sure he'd rather keep Inami under wraps until their relationship was actually existent in his eyes. Hopefully momma Takanashi won't do anything too crazy but I'm seriously doubtful of that. Any mom that suggests buying tanks to blow up bullies... or seducing their husband with drugs, magic and weapons..... probably won't act normal... XD

Back at Waganaria, Kyouko is having issues with no Parfaits sincee Yachiyo is on leave. I loved the parfait contest, the parfaits really revealed each persons feelings (Inami's parfait was melting... wonder what that means). Yamada's parfait was decidedly her: all over the place.

Looking forward to next episode.

By their parfaits you shall know them...

I think Inami's melting parfait shows just that, gradually her androphobia is melting away. Yachiyo's feelings for Jun were coming through as well.

But based on the preview, it will be a Jun/Yachiyo episode (and that will be awesome) that means the last 2 episodes will be about Souta/Mahiru.

Hopefully they conclude the Satou x Yachyo and Souta x Inami pairing by the end of the show.

The funniest thing about the show is that the main heroine feels like a side character.
