Welp, I think Hakumei and Mikochi made a new friend....a stag beetle.

A heartwarming episode imo. The two takes care of it and we learn more about their world too. It's also neat to see that rabbit character join them on their adventure. A valuable memory made with the photograph :)

Hakumei and Mikochi met Koharu and Mimi this week! Both adorable, both creatures I couldn't entirely identify! XD I wanna say Koharu was some kind of beetle, and Mimi a bunny, except her tail looked unlike a bunny's so I dunno. I felt so bad for timid little Koharu, on her own for the first time and nearly killed by the furniture she bought. Well at least Hakumei and Mikochi were there for her. Then Mimi's photography made for another happy memory. This is another show I wish had a hundred episodes for how comfy it continues to be. :)

Man, never dreamt of seeing cute (if I can say that) cockroach (or what Koharu was) in an anime.

That was a big beetle and quite cute. She almost died for getting new furniture. The bunny took lots of nice pictures.

Sudden in flood of new tenants.
Beetle cares too with trends but after her near death experience she's okay with modifying some stuff.
Bunny camerawoman stays at their place and a nice picture of all of them :)

Wow I'm so glad I stopped reading, this was the best possible surprise in anime form. Right into the list of all time favorite episodes. Gotta submit a character entry for Koharu so I can add her to my favorites.

Recommended if you liked her: "Giant Spider & Me" cute slice of life manga https://myanimelist.net/manga/105753/Owari_Nochi_Asanagi-kurashi

Two new characters introduced: Koharu and Mimi. Koharu takes the prize as the most kawaii beetle of all time! The part where she shed tears was adorable.

At first I thought Mimi was a bunny, but she has a long slender tail. Maybe a hopping mouse, kangaroo rat, or a Jerboa? I think Jerboa's ears are too big.

I loved it when Hakumei and Mikuchi coax self-conscious Mimi into having the group photo, and then she's smiling away in the picture.

It seems to be just a story involving the stool Koharu bought, from when it was in use on a passenger ship. See around 9:45 in this episode.

You know you're watching too much anime when, after you heard Mimi speak for the very first time, you keep expecting her to say "Nishikata" whenever she opens her mouth -_-

And she covered her voice color pretty nicely, too, Takahashi-san (actually, this one is closer on the voice Taka8 uses on Saitou Ena (Yuru Camp))

What was that? I don't want to eat insects or even look at them in anime, they are disgusting enough in real life. The author has a very weird mind, he/she should quit drugs probably.

ooo that sounds convincing enough apart from the "i'll ask him to be with me after the trip" part.

Never thought a beetle could be so moe, even cuter than the rabbit, what parallel world is this?
But then again I kinda find some insects to be cute (if we don't zoom it at least).
For a moment it seemed like we would have some tragic death cause insects don't last long but I'm glad that was not the case.

I was struck by the beetle, it was too funny and cute. I believe that I will not find in any other anime a so cute insect. The other thing that amazed me about this episode was the story so dynamic and full of new characters. It was nice to watch this new episode.

Aaww, that is so sweet. First about Koharu the polite stag beetle. Her voice and the way she talk fits perfectly. And then Mimi the traveling photographer that makes her "debut" by getting her own picture.

Plus, the Beetle actually blushes and Cries. The beetle Feels.

They apparently got themselves a few neighbors without knowing it. The beetle was adorable... but I can't handle bugs at all, still a damn cute beetle though, quite possibly even the cutest beetle of all time..

Bunnies do not have tails like that, and IMHO she's too small to be a rabbit. She's clearly a jerboa:

Wow Sen surely is a box of surprises... what a nice gift she left on the top of the tree for the girls. And on an aside note...

OH MY... DID THEY REALLY MAKE A BEETLE LOOK THAT ADORABLE?!!! HOLY... AND SHE/IT HAS A PERSONAL DIARY TOO!!! THE HELL JAPAN?!!!

Ehem, the first part surely took me by surprise with the debut of bug-chan Koharu. She's such a dreamer and the interactions between her, Hakumei and Mikochi were really nice to watch.

And, in the second part we have Mimi, the jerboa I suppose. Anyway, another cute new character with an interesting story as well. The group photo at the end was a nice detail I must say. Probably one of my favorite episodes so far.

Must be annoying to have a neighbour (a beetle nonetheless) asking you many things then suddenly she felt like throwing all those things. And then asking again for another by mood. Well, she is a ribbon beetle so all is forgiven??

Nice view there Hakumei & Mikochi. Must b nice to have a house inside a tree
Dang, I wonder how hard it was for people before us to take a photo. I like that the atmosphere are retro 20th feel but the settings are in the middle of the forest, I wonder how the economy could work there.....

OMG I think i have a new favorite fictional bug! She's so cute, upbeat and sweet!
I almost threw the fucking remote when they went into her room and she was on her back!! >_<, And the crying scene... too much dust in the air..... :'(
It was sad that she didn't get the room of her dreams though.

Her spinning on her new shorter chair was sweet. And already moving onto love. lol
So happy for a happy ending! :D

Cute little bunny girl in the next story. She has some of the cutest faces.

Also.. The second door they checked in the first story.. Hahahahaha Were those all baby somethings or adults? lol cute and funny.

This is one of my favorite eps. Heartwarming.. We need eps/series like this.

5/5


Oh and who was that in the ending credits story?
