THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
WORKING!! stage play decided for May, 2012... wonder how they would do it...

Takanashi's fear of losing Nazuna as "sister" is turning to Popular for a day... lol~ @ Inami's recording Takanashi saying "cute" to photo of young her. Souma is awesome.

Male Yamada searching female Yamada... wow Takanashi can use the skill, too?! Souma is not letting him meet her all the way... but Male Yamada always meet Souma when he's shopping with female Yamada.

Full of lol this ep.

Two underlings of Kyouko returning, and about photos? next ep.

OMG this episode was cracking me up non-stop xDD
Souma and his psychic powers..ha~ he's such a sadist but I like him so much :3
Him sitting in front of Takanashi like that haha
And Sato's 'Sorry- My hand slipped.' was also epic as hell.
No wait the best thing of this episode: Shanbalîleh!
I want some of that xDDD

After so much Souma-san I wish for an episode about Sato mainly. ;)
But well, the preview also looked promising.

Maybe the best episode as of yet actually laughed out loud 4 times during this episode.
My parents looked like I was some kind of alien for laughing at a computer screen.
I loved the scene with takanashi running in slo-mo and taneshima chasing him in slo-mo that totally cracked me up.

I don't know if Soma was being nice or not by not letting Yamada meet his sister. He doesn't want him to disturb his sister's peaceful time she has or he's just being mean. It's one of those.

Yeah, with that guy you never know. But in that scene when she grabbed him by the sleeve and asked him for ice cream he looked so kind.
It's probably bit of both ;D

omg I can't believe Takanashi. He has karate skills and he can go super saiyan (when he was reprimanding souma). This is epic. "I was told not to use it on girls because she'll do it twice to me." Ouch what a sister. Damn Kozue must be skilled...

Yamada-kun has nothing on Takanashi's skills... but now it's amusing. I think yamada-kun will show up as long as Aoi is working at Wagnaria so he doesn't need a job there. haha

Souma has it rough. "Their humiliated faces are cute." He doesn't seem like an S but he tries to pull it off. What a guy!

Yeah, that the develoment, no crappy drama addition with change of pairings, but showing another sides of the protagonists who we seem to know good already. Like Takanashi being not so docile like he looks throughout whole series more or less.
And yeah, Taneshima chasing Takanashi as a little siter was hilarious, as well as the reaction of the staff. Really loved this one. And Souma seems to be already knowing Yamada's true identity.

This is my favourite episode as of yet.

I really liked the second part of this episode. Souma and Yamada going on an errand together was really cute. I think he didn't let Yamada meet with her brother because he didn't want Yamada to be forced to go back home. She must be quite lonely at home because of her mother working a lot.

Oh and the most disturbing yet funny moment of this episode was definitely when Inami recorded Souta's voice and kept replaying it lol.

I liked that episode a lot. Yamada has always been a character that I wished got more development, and this episode we got some. It was always a question that was never even asked but was always present, why did Yamada run away from home? It turns out it's got something to do with the fact that the mother never has time for her, I imagine that the father isn't present, judging from the situation. This revelation isn't really a surprise considering that Yamada is always wanting people to be her family. I also adored the entire trip between Yamada and Souma, it was funny ("I hear that a lot"), and it was quite touching in it's own way. It's episodes like these that make me like Souma so much, he loves frustrating and making fun of people which is amusing, but he is also considerate, he doesn't display it to the others, but he wants Sato and Inami to be successful in their love, and he looks out for Yamada as well, as clearly shown in this episode. Yamada has been growing on me rapidly this season as well, and this is just reaffirming that Working'!! has one of my favourite casts in anime.

As for the first half, it was quite funny, but the second half was just better.

I think it's a real pity that this season is going so fast, because there are so many things that I hope are resolved, I assume this will be a single cour show, so there are only 4 or 5 episodes left, which isn't that much time.

She was in the first season briefly. Basically, she considers herself normal, and thinks everyone working in Wagnaria is really weird, so she distances herself from them as much as possible in order that she remains normal, to the extent that the others think she's a bit weird. You're not missing much by not seeing her.

Same here, let's hope for that (or maybe 16-24 episodes in this season, thus it is almost unbelievable), manga is still publishing, and many things from there not shown in anime yet, even in spite of that chronology of the story changed in comparison with manga.

Seems the Yamada family is complicated.
Why are they hiding there name is it something famous or are they trying to avoid harming there name because little sister Yamada ran away.
It also seems to be a single parent household the way male Yamada and Soma where talking.
Why did little sister Yamada ran away was her relationship with her mother very bad?
And why was Soma hiding her from her brother?

Takanashi really needs to see a doctor caring that much for small things is really something to worry about what if he grabs a little child someday.

Anyways, I freaking loved this episode, so much laughing, especially in the second half when male Yamada was looking at all the girls to make sure they weren't his sister XD

One of the best episodes so far.

"Sorry, my hand slipped" was just so epic.

I've noticed recently how much I love this cast, they're all just so much fun to watch and their interactions are even funnier.

The chances of that happening are slim... The whole reason for him looking for his sister was to bring her back, right? So it makes sense that Souma wouldn't want him to find her if he enjoys her company and thinks he'll take her away.

Yamada is the family name, Aoi and Kirio are their first names.

And perhaps one of the best things about working is that things do progress. Though sadly chances of them meeting this season seem slim, annoyingly.

It seems that the Yamada family is not from that area, so there's a chance that Aoi must stop working there if she has to come back home

It's nice to see Souma being nice in a nice way instead of in a mean way
I'm starting to think that Souma is slowly getting attached to Yamada. Such a tsundere.

So Aoi's father isn't present in the household, that explains why Aoi really wants to be adopted by the old man. Lack of attention too it seems from the way Aoi keep asking for attention, and how Kirio keep saying that he does not and will not forget about her sister. It's kind of sad how the character that looks super cheerful actually has lots of problems in her life :(

I wonder why they're not using their real names though. I can't help but thinking that their father/mother might be a politician, an artist, or even a gang leader (like mafia). Oh imagination running wild xD

I still don't get the Kiri part though. I assume that Aoi and Kirio are their real names? Then why did Yamada panicked when she heard the word "Kiri"? Unless "Kiri" is her real family name

Kiri(maybe o) Aoi
Kiri Kirio

The second name sounds weird though. Or maybe she panicked when she heard her brother's name being mentioned? Unless her brother is using his family's name (Kirio) as his first name...

Yamada is the family name, Aoi and Kirio are their first names.

wait, yamada is actually their family name? i got the impression that both 'yamada's coincidentally made up the same last name when both of them were lying about their real names since in both situations, when the person they were talking to refered to them as 'yamada', in both situations each 'yamada' was hesitant to react to the name 'yamada' as if to say "oh yeah, that's the name that i told you i was".

though, if you're basing it on the manga, then i feel somewhat idiotic for looking too into the matter

I actually thought it was kind of annoying how Soma continuously kept the "Yamada" siblings apart, as the series is already doing the same thing with Otoo and his wife. I understand the type of show this is, but I'd still be kind of annoyed (but not surprised) if they didn't meet by the end of this series. I think Yamada has potentially the most interesting back story out of all the characters, and it would be a shame if it wasn't expanded on.

Aoi Yamada and Kirio Yamada for female and male respectively. Both Aoi and Kirio are their real first names and Yamada is a made up family name. Why would Kirio be the last name? It would be Aoi Kirio and Kirio Kirio.....

OH SOMA. YOU DOG YOU.

I loved this episode, probably one of my favorites thus far ! I just really have to admit, I did let out a little "aw" when Inami was listening to the recording of Takanashi. Man, I just love that pairing too much for some reason.

EDIT: Oh my GOD Takanashi's jealousy when he confronts Yamada's brother is PRICELESS.

I LOVED this ep!
A little attention to Souma has been way overdue, and glad he had quite an active role here...(although I still remain loyal to Satou-kun...)

I reckon:
(1) Her real name is Aoi and Yamada might be the surname of someone connected/close to the family, enough so that both siblings use it as an alias.

(2) In season 1, Takanashi mentioned "she speaks properly and she has an air of elegance around her...perhaps she's from a rich family" - so maybe she is; also, her bro wanted it quiet that she was missing - to avoid scandals, perhaps?

(3) Kirio would be her brother's first name, so when Souma said "Kiri-", that's why she half-freaked ;)

---
And I think Yamada is growing on Souma - you know, the whole "You don't know what you have until it's gone" saying?
At first, he did it because he's sadistic and wanted to keep Yamada on to tease her (?), but it seemed OTT when he tried separating bro/sis for that long. ;)

My fave parts?
Inami listening to Takanashi on loop, Popura playing tag with Takanashi in that sickeningly sweet way, and Jun's "Sorry, my hand slipped" XD XD XD.

Looking back into the series, Yamada is definitely made-up name or alias, that's proven by both female and male "Yamadas" when they do not pay attention for people who calling them so. It takes a bit of strain form them to remember that they are "Yamada" and people referring to them by that name. That alias may be indeed made from someone's else family name, relative or whatever, but it also maybe some cultural japanese staff and pun, like it was with Taro-kun in FLCL which stands for english John Doe in that case. So maybe Yamada is some "generic" japanese family name.
