Animation this episode was just to beautiful!

The moment between Ichika and Fuutarou had a lot of cute moments with great shots of how beautiful Ichika is, and also made me laught when he saved her!

Nino is still searching for Kintarou, i thought Fuutarou would reveal the truth to Nino this episode, but Miku saved him, i am curious to see Nino's reaction!

The moment between Fuutarou and Miku in iglo was beautifull, and Miku's expressions are always cute, before ending, i loved teh quality in that last pick, and Miku was truly cute!


If you want to see Nino reaction when know Kintarou is Fuutarou, maybe you should read manga or waiting for season 2. And don't worry, it's not like you expect because Nino is quite smart to realise something wrong there.

This is currently the best episode so far imo. I'm liking Ichika more & more. The animation also seems to be the best so far? I guess they really want to make a good effort before they end this season.

Anyone know how the BD pre orders are doing? I believe the Manga is selling fantastic atm
It's on top 50 amazon rank for 2 weeks before release day iirc.

On the day the discs released, it seemed to be out of stock based on japanese comments here. yaraon-blog.com/archives/146848

It's either producer don't have much confidence to print many discs OR the sales was just that good. We'll know the number on next Tuesday.

This episode looked quite pretty visually.

Playing game of tags in the snow.
Itsuki pretending to be Ichika. You can tell from the voice and costumes. She's trying to test Fuutarou.

Fuutarou looks like he has a cold.

someone in the comments above mentioned that Studio Shaft worked on this episode. Is that true or do you not know, because this episode looked the best imo and I'm hoping that season 2 if we get one looks like this as well


Digital Shaft is a subsidiery of Shaft. So, yeah. According to the credit roll, they worked on this episode. But that doesn't guarantee that Shaft will do even the next episode, let alone season 2 which is not even announced. There are other anime where subsidieries like MADBOX, IGmation, BNP etc. have worked but that didn't mean they were the main studioes (Madouse, Production IG, Sunrise etc.). They are basically hired for multiple reasons (addrressing shortage of staff, improving production quality, meeting deadlines, etc.). For more information, watch SHIROBAKO if you haven't already. Every anime fan should watch SHIROBAKO to appreciate the hardwork behind the medium that we love.
Thanks for providing this information. As a big fan of SHAFT this episode is a breath of fresh air.
Apparently a lot of people still surprised by the quality of the animation. Read this.

Ichika has grown up so much since the first episode! I guess her detectors failed miserably hahaha

Miku is still the best girl for me! Rooting for her xD The iglu scene was so cute, Miku os way too cute :3

Some scenes in this episode were so fantastic! Loved the static artworks! They looked amazing!

One of the best episodes! I wonder how things will go in the last episode but i doubt it will be a good ending.

Hope there will be a 2S!

You have a point that she is the oldest but I really don't get it. I know it's being the case since she considers herself as the Onee-san character herself and feels the need to act as one, trying to fill in the role of the oldest sister amongst the quints but she probably entered the world within a couple of hours ahead of the youngest (i.e. Itsuki) so, I really don't get it.

I have 6 twins (including a boy/girl pair) and 1 triplet within my relatives and friends but I have never seen them taking the roles of the oldest or the youngest. Not in front of any of us at least. So, when I see them taking roles in anime, I feel that it must be a thing about Japanese culture. They seem to follow the sequence very strictly.

The quality this episode was fantastic, compared to anything else that's been released so far. Glad shaft made this episode, because the skiing part was pretty cool in the manga. The art style reminded me so much of sangatsu no lion, now I want a sequel to that as well as this!

I'm kind of hoping shaft decides to make a season 2, but I'd be find with any studio/director as long as it exists.

i definitely didn't think of that until you pointed it out since it's so natural to me. i think it probably is she's following cultural standards, cause the thing about asian culture in general is the parents are always gonna put a high pressure point on the oldest, then pressure the younger ones to follow the oldest. so itsuki is most likely just trying to be a good example and role model for the other four.
it's a weird case like this one since they're all literally born minutes or hours before/after another, but i suppose it still stuck and applied with them when they were raised and brought up by their dad.

Did you intend to say Itsuki? I thought we were talking about Ichika (the oldest by probably few minutes). Itsuki (the youngest, again probably by a few minutes) do want to act as if she has to take the responsibility of all the sisters despite of being the youngest, but is basically a super crybaby, always finding a way to jump to her sisters' arms and cry the hell out of her eyes, lol.

i did mean to say ichika. i always mix up itsuki and ichika since their names are the most similar, although ichika should be the most memorable since she has "one" in her name.
for all five it seems like:
ichika = wants to be the role model sister
nino = acts like a mom to all of them
miku = thinks her sisters are better and looks up to them
yotsuba = carefree and doesn't really mind
itsuki = wants to be a good example but ends up a crybaby

I really hope to have a season 2 too (I'm really advanced in the manga), but how are the chance? But considering Tezuka Productions didn't made too much animes since Black Jack, in 2006, I'm hopefull the chances are here!


The manga sales tripled after the anime and became very popular, now it all depends if the producers want a season 2. But with that in mind i think we may get a season 2 cause who doesn't like seeing their work grow fast in sales?

And the anime just covers the decent part of the manga, first half of which was just okayish. The anime will end before it really starts to become really, I mean REALLY good.

So... as a manga reader but with no spoilers, I can't tell if the preview for the final episode is implying they're going to reveal the end result before the manga concludes, the anime is making its own ending since it doesn't anticipate a second season, or it's merely the flash-forward framing device popping up again. I assume the third option but crazier things have happened.

The BD+DVD sales looks quite promising. Plus the manga has been licensed in multiple different languages. With the current popularity, it won't be too much of a stretch to say that we are going to get a sequel and it will be announced very soon, fingers crossed, however.

I have been thinking so since the first episodes but the ending song really is good.
Also Ichika and Miku giving each other competition.
I really want Nino to fall for the actual Uesugi because in the end, I am interested in her the most. As materialistic as she may get, she can be pretty cute.

I feel like Ichika and Miku being the only one who really embraced their love for him, not much for the rest.

Itsuki is mostly just jealous or angry, Nino is just chasing his unexisting cousin and Yotsuba is just teasing him, not taking anything seriously.

Honestly, by now I already feel this tendency to cockblock any further progress and it's obvious when he was alone with Ichika would ended a lot differently if this manga had any serious approach (they would at least try to warm themselves with their bodies instead of that ridiculous fire.

Still loving the show but nothing have really happen besides introductions and basic plotpoints of each character in terms of developement during the anime.

Miku's been in a bind lately bc of Ichika :( I hope she clears her head next ep. Futaro really knows what to say to her and help her mature lol. I've said it before, but it helps to have that in a partner. And Ichika helps Futaro when he has problems, so I'm not sure which pair is better hahah

I am dazzled by this anime. As I thought, Yotsuba has sunk to last place as she's the tomboy all rounder. More romantic tension with Itsuki and Nino both now. Awesome speech by Futarou giving Yotsuba credit for effort. He's a real man.

I've come over to team Ichika. Futarou is a harem master. Wicked tango moves.
