An episode dedicated to a single part of the manga. I really liked the extra bits involving Chika and the Landlady.

The beginning gave me the first season's vibe. Sae's 'nyaa~' and the 'special' space are just awesome XD.

Man, this feel like watching a 5-minute show, time goes really fast every time i watch this anime.

Yeah, it was really nostalgic to revisit all these little subplots for a few moments.

Holy cow, a nostalgia episode!
Really makes me want to rewatch the earlier seasons...

And the Sae cat talk totally reminded me of this (´・ω・`)

One of the few shows, imo, that can turn a potentially bad start of a day into a great one. Episodes like this one are exactly why.

The Game of Life. Those were the good old days! I'd so buy a Hidamari Sketch edition if they had one...

I wonder if this was on purpose back in Hoshimittsu. I dunno if any of you guys listened to the mini character dramas that came with the character image albums for Hoshimittsu, but in Miyako's, it started with her having a dream.

In her dream, she and the rest of the girls were pirates on a ship looking for treasure on treasure island (Yuno was the captain, Hiro was the cook, and I think Sae was the navigator, while Miyako was first mate; I forgot what Nori and Nazuna were). Any way, on treasure island, they find Hidamari Apartments, and all the girls get confused except Miyako, who insists they start digging for treasure in the yard. So they do so and they find a treasure chest and inside is nothing but The Game of Life board game.

This next part's unrelated but I enjoyed it and it's funny, so what happens next is Miyako hears an "explosion" and wakes up and it turns out the explosion is the sound of Yuno falling on her cute little butt next door while she gets out of the bath tub. And that's all covered in Yuno's mini drama, in which all the Hidamari girls take care of Yuno after she bruises her butt.

3 days later and only 11 posts. Not so popular around here?
Anyways, this season has been too melancholic. It's making me sad, for a few reasons. :(

According to the MAL stats page, about 2400 people are actively watching it. But, as somebody suggested in an earlier forum, it's just not the type of show that elicits comments from people, even if they enjoy, such as myself.

I understand where you are coming from, but it hasn't bothered me that way. Guess I've been happy to see them talk about what Sae and Hiro are going to do in the next stage of their life after high school. A lot of shows of this sort don't do that.

Implying game-designing "pros" know anything about balance; table-top, paper-and-pencil gamers know THIS to be the opposite of truth! :)

I still think Yuno's is the best.

Chika has impeccable timing haha. I really love how natural she sounds. Great episode. So many blast from the past (which to me is just a day or two ago lol) moments. I miss Miyako's cat too!

Maybe, but it could also be a call back to an episode in the first season, which had a lot of Game of Life imagery. The time was indicated by the spinner first displaying the hour, then the minutes, and when they got to the matsuri, the people were represented by pegs as big as they were.

It is sort-of unusual for 15-year-olds to get gray hair, but it does happen. (Of course, this is a world where silver could be a natural color, but Nori's is more of a bluish green.)

Haipa-raki-guru!

Heh, reminiscent of episode 3 of Ichigo Mashimaro, nya...

Oh, I'm sure the landlady will have you cleaning Ma-- I mean, the new first-year(')s(') room(s) when the time comes...
