Lol, really like where this is progressing. I never thought I'd like yamada and Inami so much. On the contrary, Poplar, who was cute in the beginning, is now starting to be annoying with her crossdressing fantasies. Definitely can't wait for the next episode, and here's hoping for another season!

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

wtf, for a non-romance serie, the development between characters is way better than another certain romance serie :)

'Stuck in this one-sided love forever.'

My favorite part, I loooove Saitou. Yamada's okay though, I guess. I was really under the impression that Poplar loved Takanashi though.

I don't know if Takanashi is a nice guy or is it because he is surrounded by women.

"When I looked at the rear-view mirror in my car, I saw a headless woman" - Durarara!! reference and seiyuu joke? = awesome.

Did anyone else notice the girl with red half-rim glasses and long black hair that didn't have any lines around 11:47? Apparently her name is Maya Matsumoto, from looking at the character list. She was wearing a waitress uniform so that would mean she worked there, but I don't believe she was ever introduced in any earlier episodes, was she? Or is she just supposed to be that character no one ever notices or pays any attention too except for the viewers playing a game of Finding Waldo? She's even in the main picture on this site but really small and in the center, thus barely noticeable. I think she's too good looking just to be a filler character. It's such a waste. It would have been better to not put her in anime at all if they're not going to utilize her character's story (that's if there is any).

I am most worried about Satou and Todoroki. Wish they wouldn't remain in this one-sided relationship for ever.

I don't really trust the "next episode previews" anymore, since the last one made us think this episode would focus mainly on Satou and Yachio, but instead half of it was Yamada and Inami's sleepover at the Takanashi residence. Thus, I'm guessing we'll have a decent chunk of next episode devoted to wrapping this all up.

It's hard to tell if Working!! will have a season 2 or not. Mostly I'd think it depends on the overall popularity of the series, and how much more content they can put into another season. If they're anywhere near tapped right now, they probably shouldn't. No one wants to watch a second season with too little content. *coughHaruhicough*

As far as I can tell, the anime is not following the manga storylines (a feature I am actually pleased about), so I think it depends on where they want to leave the character's relationships. But then again, I don't know if TakanashixInami and SoutaxYachiyo will remain entertaining for another entire season. We'll just have to wait and see. Still, even if it does end, the ride was worth it.

If I didn't love Yamada before, I do now xD She made this episode work and without her, it would definitely not be the same.

Good episode and I laughed more than last episode. It was a good mix of things going on with a little bit of everyone rather than focusing almost solely on Inami x Takanashi. I was a little distressed when Inami snapped the Magic Hand, though...but maybe Takanashi will tape it back together? xD

I don't know wether I was relieved or sad that Poplar was actually in love with the female Takanashi. Can't blame her though- *shot*
Still, it was fun for a quick laugh and a good way to start the episode.

Sadly, we didn't get to see much backstory on Yachiyo and Jun's history in Wagnaria. Would've been nice to see more of how Jun and Yachiyo slowly got to befriend one another. Also, Kyoko looks sexy with long hair.

As for the ghost story plot, hilarious. I was already laughing out loud when the camera slowly zoomed out, revealing a frightened Poplar clinging on Inami's arm. We also get a few nice scenes between Inami and Takanashi but not much happens. The closing scene was hilarious.

All in all, a decent episode but sadly, not one of the best. Not much progression and again, Poplar was left out for majority of the episode. Oh well, atleast I saw more of Yamada here which is great.

Looking forward for the next episode and hopes for a second season. I'll be crossing my fingers.

Though this was a great episode, Yamada is really coming into her own as a character now, she's really helped inject some variety into the storylines. Didn't buy the Poplar 'confession' for a minute, there's no way they could have made her like Takanashi out of nowhere...

As ever, I loved the Takanashi x Inami moments, especially Inami's nerves at asking if Takanashi would still talk to her.

Also found Nazuna walking around half-asleep to be quite cute, but was amused to see that she does have some characteristics of an elementary school student!

Thank you, I had forgotten to mention it. I totally agree, not only is that totally out of character for her, but she admitted that she wasn't "in love" with girl-mode Takanashi, but that she looked up to "her" as the ideal woman she wanted to be. Because, let's face it, Takanashi makes a pretty fantastic female.

Sales looks good, show is likable so probably we can expect sequel in two or so seasons.

Yeah, it's true these kinds of comedy animes seem favored for sequels. Some of them more deserving than others. (How Minami-ke has gotten 4 seasons I will never understand...)

If there is a next season, I'm hoping for Maya to be an actual character, and storylines explaining why Yamada ran away from home, and how in the world Kyokou became the manager of Wagnaria.

Actually I find leaving out Maya as truly minor character with no contribution to the plot whatsoever kind of refreshing. You wouldn't expect character like co-worker etc. to work be just a silent "background" ;]

As for Kyouko I think she might have unintentionally frightened away previous manager or something like that.

To think I was going to write this off from the first episode. This was definitely one of the more satisfying shows this season. Another good episode down the drain. Such a shame when it all ends. And I was sure Mahiru was going to break Souta's arm.

Well, the magic hand had to retire sometime. They sort of stopped in the middle of a scenario there... Wonder if they will reconsider picking it back up next episode. Apparently Yamada knows what a girl and a boy do when they are alone.. play old maid.

I agree that Poplar has not had a lot of airtime at all, and i welcome it as long as it is well implemented. The beginning almost trapped me into believing...no pun intended... ^.^

Yep, I was quite sad for the magic hand when I saw this too. Well, it will probably be profitable to Inami and Takanashi in the end :)



My shock from the loss was unparalleled

Second part of the episode was good.
I know the feeling. What a disappointment. Yamada's stupid innocent smile made the scene very funny though .
