a refreshing episode, and of course Hime is so cute as usual. but this still gives me some taste of sadness for some of the parts, but that cant be helped tho, i still enjoy the show.
I love K-On, and so should you.

What an absolute chad is Goto-sensei, he got a harem without even trying, or knowing for that matter.

Hime is such an angel even with that girl, I hope we get to know what happened with her mother soon.

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.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

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.
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.

Random comment but I love Rikyako's voice so much. Its good to see Aida Rikako voicing characters other than Riko. Still an idol though. lol


Finaly I got some Rikako fans there. Nice to meet you. Just Enjoy it.

Anyway, since I didn't read manga. I just want to follow that story smoothly. So that I wish not getting worried too much about spoilers around them. :)

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)

The boxes from 17 to 20 must be made by Goto sensei :")
I think there's something hidden behind the mother's death.

And seriously crying over Hime's maturity and dedication to help out his father in every possible way.

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.

He actually straight up said that he's not poor enough. What a man.
The levels he's going to just to hide his job is incredible though.
This was yet another hilarious episode. Really enjoyablr!

Lol wasn't sure about maybe the first half of the episode which was aight but not as good as the first two, but the second half was really funny. Low key want Kakushi and Ichiko to get together but... judging for the end of last episode, that's probably not gonna happen. 4/5

Like dont get me wrong, this episode was fuckign hilarious but ... i kinda don't really care anymore, you see this show constantly remind us that what we see is past, and the bits at the end or the beginning of every episode are the present time. 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...

Looks like the dad is gonna die in the next few years. Judging by her uniform, she should be around middle school age, and she's only 10 rn, so another 3 or so years huh...

The first episode clearly says she got the key to the old house on her 18th birthday.

Saying this right here right now, i'll regret watching this later, the feels are getting harder and harder. Awesome episode!
´
The way they switch between comedy and feels inside one episode, it's insane!
The whole episode was amazing but that flashback scene made me worried..

Great to see him working so much just to keep her satisfied and happy.
And that harem, oh boy hahahaah

Oh man, his past really hilarious. I mean, what is that sudden harrem comes out of nowhere? And Hime just telling to Goto something fishy there? Lmao, what an interesting sport festival scenes in the end. So much here and there happen, and i even can't stop laughing with the scenery. Most of it, while the cooking scenes had it place, and my country got its scenes, really nice to me! This is officially be my favourites, no joke!

Despite more fun added, knowing the insecurity Goto feels with the lost of his wife really sad. Fortunately Hime just forget that sadness, and keep her cute face, until she grew up and realise something bad.... Damn with the plot!

Hime's friends trolled her, she and his dad are not poor, at least she has house but I think that Japan's definition of poor is different than ours.

Gotou made a harem in the second half lmao, pretty funny but Hime doesn't want a mother now.

My years of being called lazy and being asked to go to the gym are finally coming to the end now that I can show this scene how you can use manga to increase your muscles!

Kakushi really conquering woman's hearts left to right by just worrying about his daughter, gotta learn a lot from this genius...but I hope the teacher doesn't go yandere route...

"No... I am a salaryman, I just make a bit more because I'm a chief or a manager or something..." Lmao. Oh, this series has some real great lines sometimes.

Gotou is just raising every flag he sees, eh? I guess he could get anyone he wanted if he wasn't so focused on his daughter. That being said, they have really nice moments together.

Another great episode.

Hime is too precious of a child. I can see why Kakushi goes through ridiculous lengths just to make sure she doesn't see him in a negative light.

I got a good laugh at Kakushi struggling with the new digital tablet. It's strange how they just switched everything back to analog afterwards, though. They probably still could've used all those computers even if Kakushi will do better if he does things traditionally.
