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.

I'm not sure I can cope with this anime if it turns out the dad is also dead. That's too sad. I want this to be a cute happy slice of life. Please don't be dead.

Can someone please spoil me on this story? Is the Dad dead?

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.

Hey, I didn't know the teacher was a casanova ...

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.

Uh... so, there are two houses that look exactly the same, right? Kinda got lost with what Hime said at the beginning but that seems to be the case.

Anyways, another cute episode. The accidental harem segment was particularly both funny and adorable to see.

So im so bamboozled. The episode continues from previous episode ending. And after few first minutes it just went back again to her younger self times and everything went normal. Then when he wants to go home in his "working suit" he founds out its sold. So he has to wear a Wedding suit. And then he talks to gym teacher and she thinks he proposes to her. And he is talking how good it would be to have a mom. And when he talkts to other girls they all think he is hitting on him and it just became harem suddenly. And i just dont know what to think now :D.

Welp, Goto has a harem now xD

Lowkey tho, I ship him with the sensei ngl

The characters and themes coalesced really well this episode. The pacing was on point, and the choregraphy was spot on. This was. areally well-crafted ep.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.
That's what death is, don't you think?

The harem was just the funniest shit, but coupled with the pretty heartwarming bit at the end of Hime only really want him was an added bonus. This kind of tone is something i sucker for and I am just absolutely eating this up. Also the indoneasian rain joke was 10/10

Also i worry this series might get overshadowed by the whole is he dead thing, cause im 99.9% certain hes alive and its a fake out, so i hope that doesnt make people undersell just how heartwarming and funny the show around it is.

Everything in the parts of chibi-adult Hime seems to point to that; from the first episode on. It's freaking me out, really!

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.


Same, also now I understand why Kumeta Kouji (author of the manga) in interview said that anime could be 5 season long. All those women add interesting dynamic to the series.

A quick timeskip into Chapters 35-38 for the 1st half, it's amazing to see Hime being TOO aware of Kakushi's status as a mere salaryman, so much it's hilarious. A child worrying over money, that's smarts. And then, new IT equipment for Goto's manga circle.

HEH asking some Indonesian to draw backgrounds? Sure in rainy over there. And the housekeeper Nadila being like an Indonesian maid, WOW haha that was literate!

Back to the usual for the 2nd half, preparing for Hime's sports festival, starts with lessons being a motherly figure...while being a ladies' man building on a unconscious harem.

Angelic episode.

My theory behinde the boxes ?

The mom found out she will die for some reason so she decided to make something for her for each year of her life that way her dad wont find it hard rasing her without a mothers help

The dad will die at the end of the series 99% shure mostly coz she seems to regret not knowing her dad more

The house is the same probably coz he wanted to raise her like it wold of been if her mom was still alive or something

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

I think it's her dad? Because initially there was only 16 and then after he found out about them he started learning how to sew clothes so I'm guessing he made them for her (since apparently he disappeared but pls don't tell me he passed away like her mom)

I definitely agree with those who said the anime has VE ep 10 elements. I can see the show getting bittersweet as the boxes in the old house signify that Goto-san planned four more boxes after 16. The mother made boxes from ages 8-16, so she probably knew she was going to pass on when Hime was 7. If Goto-san is dead in the future, it means he also knew he was passing on so he made the boxes as far as he could.

But I think maybe there's another angle to it. He might be sick, but not dead yet, so he gave Hime the key to the old house with his manuscripts and the boxes so she could find out. Perhaps he was alive until she turned 18 or healthy until she was 18, because he didn't show her the 17 & 18 boxes until now.

There's also the chance that he re-married one of the potential women we see, although it's only ep 3 so I doubt we've seen that candidate yet. If he re-married there's a total chance that he's just not there, perhaps abroad and he gave the key to the house as a planned gift, but wasn't there to see it - or didn't want to be there to show her.

^mainly all this is me trying to not feel sad about the anime even though it's heavily implied that he may not survive to see her grow up. Lmk what you think, I'm keeping myself in the dark because I really don't want this spoiled.

And i kinda want to just skip the episode and just watch those pieces you know.
Same here, I can't really force myself to laugh, knowing that this will most certainly end with the dad dying + some very sad ending...

Most likely that's the case and since we're only seeing an original house, this kind of gives a little hope that the ending won't be what we expect it to be - meaning, sad and depressing, with the Dad being dead and so on...

Great to see him working so much just to keep her satisfied and happy.
