hisokathebutcher said: why did everyone freaked out when kotori's mother said that the food was delicious cause it's filled with sensei affection ? Straight forwrad ? So what ? i didn't get that part I didn't get it either, maybe the affection word (aijou?) used there has a too strong connotation? It's more for couples? Is it taboo in japan to use this word when it's toward kids? can someone explain? |

| This anime is great to learn recipes of Japanese cuisine. ^__^ Excellent performance for seiyuu 6/10 |
 |
| I am glad Kotori's mom was able to get there in time. 7/10 |
 |
| i fucking hate kids man and we finnaly get to see the mother |
 |
| Her mom looks so young! And Yagi is her fan! That was unexpected. Hahah This is one of the most cute and heartwarming slice of life shows of all time. Each episode was a smile, and I'll miss this feeling every monday. For me is a 10/10. |
 |
| An interesting end to this series. We are still seeing Tsugumi and her father growing to understand each other throughout this series. Her father trying to understand how she is trying to communicate to himself and her friends while Tsugumi becomes more sympathetic towards her father for not immediately interpreting correctly. The introduction of Kotori's mother is something I am looking forward to and how it evolves between Kohei. Overall still enjoyable and hoping to see a continuing series. |
| Please call me onii-chan and spank me at the same time. Please.  |
| I wish I ate food like this... Anyway ending really fitted the animu. Relaxing and enjoyable. 8/10 |
| Damm and so this is the end of such a fun and relaxing anime. Im going to fill empty on Mondays without seeing the food that the show produces Okonomiyaki though looks delicious and i actually want to try it after seeing it here. And at least the thought of making it cheered up Tsumugi because she is always better happy and cheerful. Tsumugi's spell and little dance though was hillarious though. Kotori though must be lonely because her mother is always at work. Though i guess thats why she likes to be with Tsumugi and Kohei so much. Wow the Okonnomiyaki that they made in the end looks so tasty and as always it was a group effort when even the always absent mother helps out and finally appearing in the flesh. Tsumugi, Kohei and Kotori actually do look like a family if only a little This episode brings an end to such a fun and relaxing anime and i think it did a great job. Nothing like finishing up a anime than by ending it with food. |

| Nice little show, Tsumugi's cuteness earned it a nine from me |
Mascera said: Every older man's fantasy. *nosebleed*That's right, dad. Tsumugi loves eating, but she loves the process of making and cooking the food more. And Tsumugi getting scold by Yagi for the first time, and that sexy uniform Kotori's mom wearing... No comment, I guess. LOL |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Almost perfect episode, why almost? Im nitpicking a little, but i think it would be much better, if they skipped opening, that happy song really clashed with earlier serious mood. |
| Megumi's school uniform!!!! *drools* Didn't felt like a final ep of a series, just like a regular ep with some subtle KouheixKotori bonding. Tsumugi being the kid she is, isn't always mature and does shows her stubborn/childish side sometimes. Definitely 1 of the best family centered series that make you appreciate your family care towards your wellbeing. |
| I'll miss this show - it was a nice way to start my week (especially after whatever madness Re0 had pulled the day before!). Could a manga reader give me a good starting chapter if I wanted to keep up with things? |
| Don't make fun of Tsumugi's dancing skills. Tsumugi's and Kouhei's discussion about not liking to be scolded and not liking to scold was nice. And the UMA known as Kotori's mother finally appeared. |

| This anime is a drug. It helped me get rid of my anxiety and made me forget I even had my first exam of the first semester. Thanks Tsugumi, hope to see you next year but this time during my midterms or even finals. *Still can't transition my cheek to normal... ~Dies from smiling~ |
 |
| Good episode. Didn't really feel like a finale though. Actually had to come on here to see the episode count. The theme was kind of fitting for the finale, but I feel like the in-person introduction of Kotori's mom was kind of underwhelming. They hyped it up a few times, then it finally happened...and then she didn't really contribute much of anything once she showed up. Like, 3-4 lines of dialogue. If that was gonna be the case I wish she would've gotten more screen time sooner. |
| Has its share of problems, but overall a nice watch. |
 |
| what a nice last episode :') love it when Kouhei and Tsumugi become closer by understanding each other, I need to do that when I became a father. And it's really sad seeing Kotori's mother, Megumi, "real" show time only in last episode, need more of her! BTW, Megumi is a mother who usually wear high school uniform, and she put a mushroom in her okonomiyaki... I... must... not... think... any... weird... thing... and BTW I really hope Kouhei and Kotori will marry in the future, but I always afraid Kouhei will marrying Megumi instead... |
 |
| Pleasant to the end this anime, episode that you watch without problems. Narrative that manages to teach a little lesson the other, I was amazed by how Inuzuka has turned things against of Tsumugi. The really high quality for designs, there is only one regret in this anime series, having not given space to Kotori, nice instead the relationship between Inuzuka and Tsumugi, I hope they make a sequel. Pleasant opening, a little less than the ending, pretty and catchy soundtrack. For now, my vote is 7/10. |

FrozenRaider said: Kotori's mom is perfect MILF. :) But really? LOL XD |
|
| The show started good but in the end everything felt too forced. |
| So she finally came, I'm glad. I wonder is her mother could possible future love interest of Kohei, would be very interesting to see their interactions even further. They also ended on positive side. And those heavy undertones everywhere. This episode was one of the top of the series. Really great show with very unique atmosphere, bittersweet in a way. It reminded me of Clannad/Afterstory almost all the time, it somehow felt as extension of that story because of similiar motives, even thought it was also something completely different. I can tell that whoever wrote the manga was fan of that novel (and MC being voice by the same guy helps). Hayami Sayori also did great. And it was also very down to Earth as Relife or Orange, I simply like those type of anime. But what about Kotori's fear of knives? What about missing father of hers? Questions, questions... I almost want the second season season now. 8/10 |
| Food...looks way too good, but when I cook...well. Anyway, I really enjoy this series...too bad I won't be seeing the love to bloom in the anime...hope they make a second season so I can see it bloom. 8/10 |
 |
| Such a cute anime, just like the manga. Would love to see more. 8/10 |
 |
| This is the first time I wanted to slap Tsumugi when they were at the restaurant. |
| One of only a couple shows that I watched every week this season, really enjoyed it. Early on, I was a little afraid they'd try to imply some sort of elicit teacher-student romance, but I'm very glad they never really went there. As strange as it may sound, I'm kind of glad Tsumugi acted like a brat once in a while -- you know, almost like a real little kid -- it made her more believable. They managed to make her cute and adorable without making her unrealistically perfect. |
| That scene in the restaurant, damn -_- Finally Kotori's mom joined them as she's always away, though only in the end of the episode XD |
Thanks for your answer. So it's basically "cultural" since where I live (europe) there would be no such reaction with this kind of declaration. |
| That looked totally delicious! Finally the mother appeared which made it a really lovely finish! All in all I quite loved the cuteness and adorableness of this whole anime, the characters were great, the food looked delicious and in general the slice of life atmosphere was on key! Quite liked it I must say :3 |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| Nice to see Kotori's mother with them finally. All in all a nice end. Only two things to say really. After 12 episodes I can't listen to Tsumugi losing it anymore... Had to mute the player every time it happened in the past 2-3 episodes. I know she's a child but her attitude was unreasonable most of the time (and if you think about it her father more often than not reinforces it because most times she gets angry he tries to calm her by doing the shit she wants). I know that's not what this anime is about and it was more or less the only way to lead to the shown situations in the first place but at this point I couldn't ignore it anymore because it was a recurring theme. The other thing was Kotori's mom. What the fuck is up with her face. Her lips looked so freaking weird because only the lower half was "visible" >.> Anyway. All in all great anime. Really enjoyed it. Especially Yagi was awesome :D |
| Cute moments awesome ending song every week and has decent characters. This could have been better..... was waiting on Katori's backstory and why she is scared of knives. It never touched on it. I liked it at first but this anime dragged on while only making minor changes each episode. 5/10 |

| Finally we saw Kotori's mom and she is cute. Too bad that it's over, I liked watch Amaama to Inazuma each week, the SoL anime are always pleasant to watch. Cute and fun as I expected. |
| Love this series wishing for another season if there will be. Well Its a fluffy lighthearted series, that is good to watch. Through their cooking and eating they connect and understand each others feelings, this kind of thing is the one you'll learn and like in this series, which is an important way of conveying your feelings for someone through conversation while cooking or eating. |
 |
| I was rather surprised that Kotori's mom actually made an appearance. I thought they were gonna do some whole, "she's here but you'll know how she'll look like" thing. Anyways, pretty good finale and show overall. It was pretty sweet and relaxing. That's really all I have to say about the show. 7/10 |
The cooking theme got repetitive and made finishing this feel like a chore to me by about the eighth episode. I feel like I watched it more for the subplot than anything, but the anime itself isn't to blame there. Either way, I did enjoy it and there was plenty of "sweetness". |
 |
| This was a really sweet show. I enjoyed watching it until the very end. I accidentally voted that I hated this episode but, I loved it. I'm glad that Iida mother showed, that made me happy. I don't think there needs to be season 2, just because this felt like such a good ending. I give this show a 9/10. |

| This show is one of my favorites of the season! Now I am hungry again... (o.o) |
 |
| I liked the way Inuzuka-sensei handled the scolding thing in the second half, I'm taking note of that X) But yeah no one likes to be scolded, although it's an interesting switch in pov that the one doing the scolding doesn't like it either, and I'd say it's probably that way for most people. Overall, a cute and mostly enjoyable show. I really liked it in the beginning, but personally speaking, Tsumugi is not my favorite type of kid character, so it was a bit annoying to watch sometimes. I've worked with kids her age before and have never felt this way about any of them, I think it's because Tsumugi has such a high and energetic voice that I can't deal with her for too long. Anyways, the show had some particularly good parts regarding child-rearing, and I enjoyed watching the way Inuzuka-sensei tried to deal with situations. I mean the food parts were good, but it was repetitive and sort of contributed not much to the story overall except that it was what brought the characters together. And Kotori was alright as a character too. The only thing I liked about her presence was how she was like a parallel to Tsumugi, where she's still a child, but could talk about her problems with being raised in a single-parent family. In terms of child-rearing themed stories, it's solid but didn't do it for me as much as the few others I've encountered. |
