This episode was better than the 2nd one for me, but only slightly. I still feel a disconnect of sorts for the characters and the comedy in this show, it's just not clicking smoothly, and the visuals continue to be lackluster (I like the style but the way its presented is pretty dull).

The voice acting though continues to be good, and I do still like the soundtracks in this episode. Hime's dad was on point with his voice.

I'm very 50-50 when it comes to watching/dropping this, but since I'm not convinced yet, might continue this till the end and see if it gets better for me. So far, underwhelming start.

I really found it funny that Kakushi is a harem protagonist who isn't a harem protagonist. Dude's a wholesome playboy without knowing it. I guess we'll be seeing more of his "harem" in the future episodes (the next episode preview had the high school girl I think). Honestly tho if they really did fall in love with him I'd feel bad cause he doesn't have those intentions for any of them.

Okay so some questions were somewhat answered.

Sensei had his current house built to resemble a previous house. Maybe where his wife and him used to reside? I mean the house they are currently living in is 7 years old and Hina is 10 so maybe he wanted to have the same layout so Hina wouldn't be confused when her mother was eventually not around.
That would make sense considering she found 17-20 year old clothes in that house as well.
Also that proves her mother made those clothes as well.

Ok now I understand the thing about the houses. My brain must not be working properly rn since I couldn't think of this myself lol. Thanks, it really makes sense tho.


Granted it is still just a theory but with how caring Gotou (and most likely the wife/mother as well) is I feel like they would do something like build another house that Hime is somewhat accustomed to even after her mothers passing.

Very cute. No one told me this would be a harem anime lol. Aside from that I think the future/present stuff is kind of weird to have happening so sparsely in each episode. I think it would have worked better if they waited a little longer in the series before bring up these potentially sad things.

This show continues to do what it needs to do each week.
Charming. Cute. Wholesome. Dynamic. Relaxing.

Kakushi inadvertently infatuating young women was quite well-executed, imho. That segment could still be better, though, I'll admit.

Hime's initiatives after being told she's poor (binbou), though xDD

Kakushi released his inner Araragi and formed himself a harem in a single episode. I liked that development.
The relationship between Kakushi and Hime is so wholesome it gives me diabetes each episode.

Found it funny when he unintentionally hit on all the females and they showed up to Hime's sports day. How did they find out when and where the sports day was? How did the aspiring idol get out of class to attend the sports day at an elementary school?

Oh bless all those poor women haha I wonder if Gotou will ever realize that Hime's teacher is in love with him?

It was so adorable how Hime thinks they're poor so she started doing all those things to save money. With such a sweet little girl, it's no surprise that Gotou dotes on her so much!

Every week more questions are added about the things happening around 18-year-old Hime, but this week's added info has me so curious; why are the two houses identical?!

he accidentally is such a player, making women of all ages from a highschooler to his daughters teacher fall for him
what a player
and tbh i think it would be super interesting to see him actually get involved with someone and the dynamic between her and hime but im quit certain it wont happen (and dont want to spoil myself with manga)

That was good episode
i have a feeling rasuna-chan is somewhat important character
1.at end of episode 2 rasuna and tomaruin are there(maybe they are the one who drive hime there)
2.iirc gotou haven't adress her with her name
3.this episode we've seen gotou isn't very interested in woman,but rasuna made him red

also that indonesia lol,i'm happy japan(atleast in anime)always mention indonesia with their food
and they always draw indonesia with black/brown skin...not all of us are dark skined tbh

So it was Hime's mother who prepared 17-20 boxes? Since they was left behind in their original house.

Yeah that was obvious, and the rest were prepared by Goto since it seems like he also dies.

Hmm... so it seems that after his wife passed away, Goto moved and had a new house built that looked exactly the same as his old house? That would explain why the boxes in the house don't cover 17-20, but the boxes that the present Hime found did. Also explains why the old house is so run-down and why Hime didn't immediately recognise it. If that was her house from when she was little, she would've recognised not only the house but the surroundings, but here she realised that the layout of the house is like her old house. But now I'm slightly confused, did Goto pass away? Because it's still plausible that he didn't, and that Hime went to the old house after being given the key. But if the OP and ED are any indicators, then it seems Goto will pass away. That kind of ending will break my heart.

That aside, this episode was funny. I'm from Indonesia and it was nice to see Indonesia being mentioned twice, especially that drawing which was hilarious and was filled with stereotypical Indonesian features. I wonder if they have an Indonesian on board? Or if the mangaka had Indonesian friends or family? Because I don't think a lot of Japanese people are too familiar with Indonesia over all.

It was funny but wholesome. Kids really know no tact, asking if their friend is POOR. Seeing Hime feel bad about supposedly spending too much money also made me feel bad. She's so cute though.

Goto's such a doting father but it's sweet to see, seeing him try so hard for her sports festival (and inadvertently hitting on four women in the process).

A definite watch for this season.

I really hope this will have a happy ending. I feel it'd be a lot stronger as a feel-good series than trying to force moe.

The accidental harem is hilarious, another well paced episode with some laughs.

Some Says Slice of Life Anime Would be Fantastic if There Was Magic in it , And They're Right ...
That Slice of Life Got a Wonderful Magic in it , a Magic Effects us in a Beautiful Way ...
Story , OST , Characters , Drawing & Everything Else All Makes a Magical Slice of Life of an Anime
................
Gotou is Such an Interesting Character , Clever But Stupid , Lazy But a Hard Worker , Annoying But Charming , But One Thing Nobody Can Denies ...
He's So Loving & Treasuring His Daughter , To a Degree That He Keeps His Job a Secret so She Won't Shocks or Depresses Because of it
Hime Also is Such a Precious Gem , Trying to Help Her Father By Not Spending Money on Unnecessary Things Because She Think They're Poor , And Trying to Take of The House By Herself
Such a Lovely Girl

Ok , I will be pretty optimistic about the whole gato disappearing thingy in the op , the way I see it

1> Gato is probably not dead , If you observe the ed well it has a scene where the little dog is all grown up which is seen in the op and gato is driving the Jeep with hime in it if I am not wrong

2> assumption : The Gato that is disappearing in the op is the Gato with the salaryman dress , I would assume when hime turns 18 she will learn the truth and therefore the whole salaryman thing will disappear now that she knows the truth the salaryman Gato is of the past so remains on the side of the house where the grass is grown less indicating that it is something of the past ..

Please tell me he is not DED

I wonder why the house is sold. But i guess it's more important to enjoy the good times while it lasts.

Also, goto is having a harem of his own. I'm not expecting less from a person who voiced araragi.

This will definitely be one of the best anime's released this season or possibly year, I really enjoy the comedy and story-line.

But just the foreshadowing from the opening of Goto disappearing really hurts, I don't want this to be a sad anime, I want a happy ending...

Hime thinking that they were poor was quite the gag. She really wanted to save money to the utmost limit which was rather cute.
Also Goto IT had me laughing hard. Rausna can be really terrifying with her idea sometime.

So last week I deduced from the OP that Hime’s dad would die at some point in the story. In the OP as the seasons change and they stand apart from each other he eventually disappears. The ending of the last episode seemed to have confirmed that with her finding the boxes of clothes in the closet. This gave me VE episode 10 flashbacks.

Been waiting all week for a new episode to get questions answered because idk how I’d cope with that type of ending :(



Yeah those boxes really do give VE vibes. Those must be from her mother.

Ok, seriously, issues like the home where the two live has caught my attention. I also thought about why they live in such a place, even though it must have an emotional meaning for Goto.

Little kids can really be mean as hell. Straight up asking hime if she’s poor just because of her house being one floor lol.

Goto’s got 4 girls thinking he’s in love with them and proposing in one episode, that’s gotta be a record.

Probably would make more sense for him to just buy a nice pair of dress clothes instead of constantly renting them at this point.

Nice heartwarming episode, didn’t really get the answers I was looking for, but the cute stuff put me at ease


Yeah I too have that notion that Hime's dad would have a death flag , cu'z this anime pretty much was giving us hints.
