Miu episode was great. Miu was wearing pink pantsu. I would have pegged her for shimapan, but I wouldn't have thought she would be the plain white pantsu type. Looks like next ep is the older sister. I imagine 11 will be a Hina episode, and then some plot stuff for ep 12

Nice episode. I'll never get tired hearing KitaEri's voice.

The pantsu fanservice was... out of place, but whatever.

I know there is some sort of effort going in to create a decent story here, but I just can't buy it, not when the camera is more interesting in showing us under aged fanservice. It took me a while but I figured out what this episode was all about. It wanted the pervert lowest common denominator to project themselves onto Nimura so they could enjoy a date with a middle schooler. Wow, that's fucked up. We've even seen the 3 year old in the bath for about the 3rd or 4th time. Jesus, sometimes I really loathe my determination to finish what I start. I should probably watch something that isn't aimed at paedohiles. To each their own I guess.

I was going to put on my warrior hat and start typing. Then I saw this post in regards to Hammer's:

....to me (and i believe some of us), it's a show we thought would be filled with fanservice to lolicons but ended up actually getting a good grip on the concept of family and responsibility....your mind may have been corrupted by the world around you and all you see are bad things when it comes to dealing girls of their age..


Now the hat is off and sits nicely next to me. Happy to see that folks can understand what this is about. It's no "Usagi Drop" like Arg commented (even some people said THAT was a goddamned 'lolicon' show) but it's no straight panty shot after panty shot.

Also, if you see Hina in the bath and your first thought is something horrible/ecchi, then even I would have to give you the stink eye. That's not the show doing anything/forcing you to think a certain way, it's your own psyche putting those thoughts into your head. Yes, perhaps other anime/shows molded that psyche of yours into what it is now, but you can't project that thinking onto ALL anime with kids.

I enjoyed the episode (and the show as a whole), but I am having trouble accepting Miu to be as mature as she is coming across. Mind you, I'm not saying it's not possible, and I've always said kids think about things adults often don't give them credit for. I'm currently raising an 11 year old myself, helped/watched my brother and his wife raising their kids (their oldest is 12), watched some friends with theirs over the years, and based on those experiences I would never imagine a 10 year old as mature as Miu is often acting. Sora and Hina come across very well for me age wise otherwise.

On the other hand, I have absolutely no problem with the show showing the stress Miu and Sora are going through. Kids are usually more adaptable than adults give them credit for, but that doesn't mean they can't suffer from stress due to things like losing loved ones (never mind parents), divorce (such as my own son is dealing with, even if my ex and I get along fairly well, all things considered), or even simply moving/changing schools. Actually, the show may not be showing that as much as it could.

I'm guessing the next two will showcase Sora & Hina's difficulty adjusting to living at a new place.

I'm pretty sure they've already mention Miu was falling asleep in school and Sora's grades were dropping. So I'm guessing that's what this episode and the next one will be showing along with other things.

If the relatives were so concerned about the girls having problems, why not give Yuta the house? Seems like no one was living there and it would make things easier on them and Yuta's income troubles. It's like they're trying to watch him fail at attempting to raise them.

Miu centered episode! Nimura is going on a date with a 10 year old, the lolicon. He gets all the girls, be they big or small. xD

Everyone seems much too mature for their age though. I mean, Miu is 10 and behaves like a teenager sometimes. She goes home on her own too.

That still shot at the end looked very much like the Madoka Magicka style! Same artist?

Relaxing episode but I could not help but start to fall asleep a bit.

Miu isn't the sort of character that can carry a episode on her own, there just isn't that much development.

Nimura is a awesome guy, next episode looks like Sora's going to be struggling with the situation so i'm seeing a chain of these sort of episode's occuring.

There has to be a second season to fully complete this series, 12 episode's is definitely not enough.

Speaking of Sora, I'm actually a bit scared of Sora-centered episodes as she's often getting on my nerves being so awkward, prude and tsundere. Seriously, I think that girl is even ashamed of existing and taking up space... But I digress ^^

Well. Not sure if that is where the manga goes/anime is going or not, but something to consider. Her real mother died(?), her father's second wife left, and her father and her father's third wife have died (apparently). She and her sisters are now living with a guy who is visibly struggling to make ends meet and still go to college now that he's taking care of them, and she knows she and her sisters are a huge burden to him. That's a hell of a lot for a kid. On top of that, she's a young teen, a VERY rough time of life for most under good conditions. Between those things I'd be surprised if a 14 year old didn't have a complex about herself.

Maybe I'm just getting tired of typical teenager problems by watching so many anime with teen characters (especially tsunderes without self esteem).

Quite understandable - a major part of why I'm enjoying this show is because the main character is an adult AND acts like one. Often the adults are just comic relief, when they appear, or just side characters.

A Miu episode was refreshing to see. She's so cute and she sure does look good in everything. Love the way she was playing along with Nimura, she sure knows how to communicate with people tbh. No wonder how she's so popular at school. Wow it takes them a longgg time to get to school and having to transfer at so many trains and getting just squished. Looks like its getting tough with Miu having to act like her usual upbeat self at school.

Nimura is an awesome dude.

For some of the schools i went to i had to commute a long time as well for one of my schools it took one hour and when public transportation was down it could easily be three hours sometimes even more.
Longest delay i had it took me seven hours to get home from school it was pretty frustrating but the rather was good and i had a few people to talk with those occasions are great to meet people.
In my situation i didn't have to much choice but i think it would be better for the girls to go to a school nearby.

You gotta figure that when the school term is up, either the girls should move to a closer school, or Yutta needs to move closer. That's just insane for them if you ask me. an hour and a half ride? sheesh.

That was a very nice Miu-centric episode. I like how Miu is actually much less "devilish" than her description in the novel's synopsis seemed to suggest. Instead of a "little demon", she was actually a "little angel" in this one. Not in Sako's sense, but then again, screw him and his creepy tendencies.

No wonder Kouichi has that lady killer reputation in Yuuta's eyes. The man is a smooth operator, and a nice guy overall. Their little "date" here wasn't creepy at all in the slightest. It was cute. Miu's my favorite in the show, so I enjoyed it. Also, very nice voice work by Eri Kitamura here.

I really enjoyed this episode. My fav character Miu and a great supporting character like Nimura. I think this episode was really well done.

It's easy to forget that Nimura's a playboy, but I think has a lot of good points. For one, he helped Miu out when she was feeling down,and plus, he always helps Yuuta whenever he's in a jam. Whatever he may be, atleast he's a true friend.

I think I kind of see the formula. This episode was about Miu, the next episode will be about Sora, and then finally the last one will be Hina.

Even if it is predictable it doesn't stop it from being a really good anime. Looking forward to the next ep.

An hour and a half train ride? Holy crap how far is Yuuta's house from Miu and Sora's school?! A commute that long is something I'd expect if they took the bus but train ride? Tough >__<

Nimura's such a nice guy. Thank goodness it wasn't Sako.
