----------------------------------------
Seeing Hotaru act her age was funny especially her embarrassment still she was excepted for her age by Konomi.
And on other hand the Akane took her for someone older which was also funny.

And then there is the brother who no one noticed once again tho he was really helpful and he does a lot around the house.

Hotaru real personality are always so fun to watch, glad now someone else saw it, witnessing such blessed cute excited girl is a big pleasure, afterall.
Look at this puppy eyes, I melt.


Very very pleasant episode, full of Hotaru whom I like the most, lovely wholesome moments coming from her really warm my heart.

Hotaru was really mature? Yes Yes Yes. Except when she stays with her parents and her dog.
I glad to see those Komachan plushies again, I really miss them.

Am I the only one who misses the melancholic soundtrack of the previous seasons? That was what always reminded me that the period of their idyllic childhood and with that their friendship will pass eventually, and it was what made this anime bittersweet in a good way. I miss that feeling now.

Another masterpiece episode... This anime is the greatest anime of all time and no one can say anything that would convince me its not

Hotaru was super cute !! Especially on the train with her parents... I can't express how much I love this anime.

Natsumi and Suguru need more screentime :(

I really hope we get to see more of them and Hika-nee in the next episodes

Nyanpasu!!! Lol Ren chon's shocked face was hilarious, she really thought those were Bell pepper seedlings.

Ouch Konomi found out about Hotaru's secret. I've always wanted to see how Hotaru would react when someone finds out about her secret childish behaviour and lol her reaction was hilarious.

Great episode.

Hotaru acting like the kid she is and getting all embarrassed about was so adorable. Those puppy eyes when she was laying on her Dad's lap though, who would be able to refuse that?
I love how Konomi was teasing her about it after witnessing it, only to decide to stop teasing but once again she her acting like a kid.

Renge is like a comedy genius, every time she says anything I start laughing. Renge and her tomatoes, what a combo.

Akane and her adventures with strangers is always fun to watch and leads us to the topic of Hotaru being mature which is true on paper, but as we see it isn't the case. Still, even when she acts like the kid she is, she is still really cute.

It picks up slow at the start with planting tomatoes, building the greenhouse which is nice.

and then the middle we got Akane being wayyy too shy, i understand her feeling but her case was kinda extreme, and Hotaru being addressed as the older one which is understandable.

and then probably the highlight of the episode about Konomi finding out about Hotaru's behavior around her parents, really hilarious and somewhat wholesome.
This really is a somewhat yuri episode, holding hand and lap pillow.

So dang wholesome. Got to see a really cute side of Hotaru.

Slow clap for my boy Suguru making plays like a phantom. We need to get him a voice!

Another funny, top tier episode for me. Now all I want to see now is Candy-store, and I will be much satisfied.

Surprised it's taken this long for someone to find out Hotaru's secret immaturity like this, but it's a nice way to keep Konomi more involved going forward, especially with her continuing to get more screentime thanks to Akane.

Hotarun was so aodrable this episode, she may look mature but deep down she is still a little child, who needs moments to act her age and we love her for it! Too bad Konomi happened to be also in the train and found out about her secret.

As for the dog moment, super wholesome but I can let it slide. Cause even I can act just like that when I cuddle or play with the dog if I feel like it. Especially with the puppy we got recently.

God, I love this anime, such a fun and sweet episode.

'The tomatoes look cold', what the fuck, Renge, it's a crime being this cute.

Big F in the chat for Hotaru's reputation though. Even so, honestly, that final segment with the doggo isn't even embarrassing, I dare anyone to find a well-functioning, independent adult that wouldn't behave the same with a cute pupper.

Hotaru's dad had already appeared and spoken in s1ep12 (road repairs episode), and there were also the guys who "kidnapped" Komari and the udon seller in the beach episode.

Hmm Hotarun is too cute in her own world. I forgot that she was a Komari fan. Those dolls in her room bring back some funny memories. Also Suguru aka Megane-kun needs have more presence. Lol nobody saw him move all around XD

Sad there's no Nyanpasu~ this week.

Oh man, this huge amount of wholesome and feel-good vibes should be a crime. We fans are not worthy of this much wholesomeness! X3

I do like the whole tomato planting and Renge's deadpan expression was funny. Same goes for Akane, as she's becoming more likeable with each episode as she tries her best to get over her shyness by hanging out with Konomi, Komari, Natsumi and Hotaru for some cookie baking.

However, while those two segments were great, it was the last part, with Hotaru and her parents on the train, that made this episode an 11/10. Seriously, even a guy with a hardened heart wouldn't dare to say no to Hotaru's puppy eyes!

Not just that, but I do love how Hotaru got all embarrassed when Konomi saw how Hotaru acted with her parents and, considering her age, that's to be expected. It's a shame that Hotaru turned down the golden opportunity for her to rest on Komari's lap. That would be so damn cute, but maybe next time, eh?

To end the episode on a bombshell of cuteness, Hotaru went all gaga while petting her dog. Honestly, I couldn't stop laughing for 5 minutes because of her adorable expressions while she spoiled her dog like that and, once again, she did that in front of Konomi who happened to be walking by, which must've been really awkward between them.

I don't know why you're annoyed by a few stills lasting about 15-20 seconds. You shouldn't assume the production team uses stills or slideshows just because they're "too lazy" to animate it. Sometimes those sort of small stills work better, depending on the scene in question.

I understand that, but not all of them do the stills for the same reason. Pet peeve or not, I still find that a rather flawed way of judging things like that. =(

The idea of resting on her beloved senpai's lap was too much for poor Hotaru to handle xD

Another quite lovely episode as usual. "Childish" Hotaru getting caught by Konomi was hilarious but again, she's only 11 so seeing her acting like that with her parents is an expected behaviour. Not that this will make her feel less embarrassed tho.

Oh? Hikage for next episode? Let's go!
