Hm, it was okay. Not as funny as the previous episodes though imo.

I find the appearance of that dog to be cute but nothing else much worth. The comedy can be really a hit or miss. I think Chihiro still misses her mom quite a bit.

So the dog got a nice new home and someone is a happy girl.
I guess things turned out alright except for the conference they where holding in the hotel.
Well there is always a next time.

I really loved this episode. Chihiro was alone in the world, but found a place and people who care for him quickly. His friends grandpa even offered to let him stay at their house.

Nice ep with the dog.
Chihiro and Madoka are getting really close, the resemblance of Madoka and Chihiro's mom is apparent visible.
Poor Shinozaki, always getting caught in between Madoka's antiques.

Too bad Chihiro couldn't keep the dog, it was really cute! Good thing it got adopted to Miyako so we can definitely see it again.Also love Chi's friendship with Yuuji, so adorable! I was so happy when Madoka returned home to treat Chihiro's fever. Overall, it was cute and light hearted!

This anime is cute as heck, light-hearted but also often heart-warming. A bit on the predictable side, but I'm really enjoying the developing relationship between Chihiro and Madoka.

When is the hardcore yaoi starting?
They removed all my recommendations because they were "funny"... No joke.

Since that dog looks same with Hachiken's dog of Gin no Saji. I wonder what name Chihiro will give to the dog if he get to keep the dog.

I've been wondering it, but what's that "Braidal" supposed to mean? I can't find the definition of the word. Does it "wrong" because it have one extra "A" in the first word? Or it have it's own definition?

On a side note, that garden and mansion art continues to be so pretty.

Probably because of how "bridal" is written in Japanese Katakana - ブライダル。

Oh yeah now that you mention it, I think it's more make sense for assuming the word is not the original but transliterated from Japanese language.
Thank you for the explanation. :)

His uncle is seriously annoying with how immature he acts. Someone needs to punch that motherfucker in the face and in the balls. Plus, he's sneaking in Chihiro's room and sleeping next to him. What the ever loving fuck is wrong with him? Then he goes and acts like a dog is the scariest thing in the house. No, you, pedobear uncle are the scariest thing in the house. Him acting like a grown-ass wuss isn't "kawaii" or anything.

I feel bad for Chihiro, he lost his mom and home, is forced to wear that ridiculous maid outfit and can't even keep a puppy. It's great he has wonderful friends and even his classmate's grandpa thought about letting him into their family. At least in that home he wouldn't be alone and he'd have three dogs.

Chihiro should have kept and trained that dog to protect him from his creepy ass uncle.

I find myself caught in a weird conundrum with this anime where I know that, technically, it's better than the manga. It's faster paced, which is good because the manga was glacial, and the art translated well into motion and color. The voice acting and ost are solid as well, but I just can't bring myself to like this as much as I liked the manga. Maybe it's because I can read manga faster than I can watch anime, and that offset the pacing problems, lol.

I actually want more heartwarming scenes with Chihiro and his mother. Hmmm not enough Miyako in this episode.

Pretty funny this episode, the life of the poor Chiiro-kun will shorten greatly if contnua to be so dutiful, the secret lies in doing things in moderation, LOL!
Narratively had many comedic, again flew the episode. Drawings and animations, discrete overall. Entertaining the question of the dog, not bad progression that is having the relationship between Chiiro and Madoka.

Madoka's reaction to the dog is funny and cute. [s]He's more moe than Chihiro.[s]

The animation is absolutely beautiful, especially the house (all that detail!) and the garden. Hino's grandpa is a good guy, offering to take Chihiro in (and I had a laugh at their huge family). Chihiro turns down the offer. Madoka listening behind the bush, he's so attached to Chihiro, but I think that's because he doesn't seem to have any other family...

I like that their roles kind of switched briefly in the end, where Madoka tries to cook for and take care of Chihiro. It's cute that Chihiro is so responsible but he's a kid!! I honestly wish he could be more like a kid and let someone else take care of him.

Anyway, this show is hitting so many buttons for me right now *0* I love it, it's so heartwarming and fluffy♥♥♥♥

LOVE the cell phone part. Not every anime character is a teenage girl who knows how to use these things, and the issues like cell phone etiquette I've seen were mostly for humor, rather than a bit of drama.

The story endings are too perfectly and neatly wrapped for me, but, with one ep having two stories, I don't see an alternative. I also think, had the mc's both been female, there wouldn't be any controversy with the series. It's definitely shoujo, and a demographic alternative to the all-girl SOL stories which cater more to the male demographic.

EDIT: Who's the VA for the dog? Sounds like the pup from Gintama!

EDIT EDIT: Here's the artist for the eyecatch. She's been busy with her doujinshis! :D

pretty good so far, i find it sweet how chihiro finally found a place where he's comfortable in again. madoka coming back to check on chihiro was cute, although i think he does go waaay overboard with chi. such as sleeping in his bed, that is..weird. hoping there's nothing worse than that because the show is really cute.

also the people saying that madoka and chihiro are gay for each other (especially that one review) what the fuck is wrong with you, seek help.
