Another awesome episode.
Morita is such an hilarious character. I also loved the part where Hagu and the other girl, where looking at Yamada's legs =P

Morita is hilarious, I really love him. Ayumi looked hott and so far this show has been pretty nice, I like it.

I wish Hagu would just speak more and have some sort of personality because right now she's just pissing me off.

Morita is freaking hilarious. I LOVE THIS DUDE. When he ran off with the telephone... xD
This show is surprisingly good at mixing humorous stuff (Morita's antics, Yamada's fanboys) with pretty serious matters like Mayama/Rika and Hagu's emotional/social problems...though I still don't like that Korobokkur xP She seems retarded to me. And don't get me wrong, I'm not discriminating the less intelligent or mentally slow; it's just that she was meant to be cute and came out retarded xD Which is not so cool. Sorry.

Haha! I wonder why Morita thought of having a Christmas party but it was so much fun. So Rika's a widow. Maybe she and her husband got into an accident causing her becoming crippled and the guy dead.

In a weird way I feel like Takemoto likes Hagu because of her childlike nature. He clearly had a pretty lonely childhood- so yeah, I reckon that's a big part of it.

Hah, every time I make a comment on what I want to see next ep, it happens. So we learn more about Takemoto. I felt so bad for him when he talked about his childhood Christmases at the hospital.

We see that Rika also cares deeply for Mayama. She is willing to let him have choices at another company rather than keep him with her. That line where she says it's better that he make such an important decision shows off her true character. I wonder if she'll open her heart again since her husband died. I also wonder what the sensei's relationship with her is. I think they showed a picture of Rika and someone else last ep but I didn't know who it was.

Morita was hilarious throughout! And I continue to like Yamada.

This show feels like a blender. Just a bunch of random things thrown about with zero idea where it's all headed~

Also, the whole thing with Yuuta liking Hagu comes off strange with so much shots of Hagu making her appear as a little girl. She may be 18, but she doesn't feel 18 at all.

But even if everything turns sour, Morita will carry the burdens. I must know more info on his secrets

I am getting so sick of these insert songs.

Also, isn't time passing too quickly? I'm expecting it to slow down at some point, but we have covered almost 8 months in 4 episodes.

Really? I find the songs quite nice. The pacing of the show doesn't feel rushed regardless of the passage of time, they could be studying for any number of years.

You said pretty much everything I wanted to say.

Still, Morita ftw.

I'm kinda liking the development with Rika, Mayama, and Yamada, but it doesn't have much impact when there hasn't been any effort put into developing the characters.

Shinobu's antics is the only reason I can tolerate this show. Hagu just gets more and more irritating by the episode, and the character drama feels forced and stupid without any real development. And what's with the constant time skips? That just hinders any possible developments that there could be.

Although, I am intrigued about Shinobu's and Takumi's jobs.

lmfao morita's antics & cheekiness reminds me a lot of yato from noragami

mouse no.1 LMFAO

as cute as hagu-chan is, and yes i know she's meant to be a petite & tiny girl, i wished her character was like 5cm taller just even that 5cm would make everything less uncomfortable. i guess they realised it eventually seeing what they did with mashiro from sakurasou

OST is amazing, love the OP & amazing ED by suneohair, suits the overall feel of honey & clover very well! also i feel like i'm the only one who actually likes the OP, it's amazing & so refreshing & the visuals yes quirky but come on this anime is about a bunch of art students! just because it's different..... why do people want to hate on everything lol i fail to see how the OP is terrible per say







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

I like how the anime paces things, as I get a lot of my answers answered reasonably fast that way. The information about Hagu's anxiety/expectation issue or Rikka's husband were important pieces for instance. I suspect the third person in the photograph from episode 3 to be the late husband of Rika now.

As much as life can change rather suddenly and as much as we might want the characters to change their situations quickly, those can drag on for a while. Not much changed, yet, but we see pieces for change come together, gradually.
