Gotta love Tokiwa this episode tbh. Not too much happened this episode imo but still enjoyable. Kawaiii:



Oh and I thought the girls' outfits looked nice. Batons :3

Not too much happened? Just the baton performance in uniform has a lot to see. We also have a lot of Midori and her interactions with other people. And we have the new development from Choi at the end of the episode. BTW the sakuga/animation in this episode is pretty good. And the uniform they wear at the stage performance looks great.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Kind of a boring episode to be honest, especially since I'm not Midori's biggest fan. The costumes were really cute though. Dera in the performance was my favorite part. I hope Mochizou confesses in the last episode and solves this whole prince's bride thing. He's too cute.

I enjoyed this episode it reminded me of my elementary school days when I took a Baton twirling class. Besides the general feeling of nostalgia I found the episode sweet. I wish things would progress a little faster since there aren't too many more episodes to come. I look forward to seeing how Tamako will react to Choi's revelation next episode.

yeah pretty boring overall. also what grade are they in? high school? cause if they are they really dont act like it. also what was the point of hinting that midori has feelings for tamako if they never do anything with it? or hint at any kind of romance?

why was most of the episode about midori worrying about the choreography and when it came time to show us what they learned they hardly show us anything at all? i believe that is the definition of the word pointless story arc.

and at the end choi tells tamako that she is to be the prince's bride. something we all saw coming. and im pretty sure we can all guess how that arc is gonna end. tamako doesnt end up marrying the prince and convinces the prince or choi they should get married, choi and the prince thank her, dera says goodbye and leaves. then itll probably show us the market place after hes left and shows that everyone misses him. then one day all of a sudden, surprise, its dera. then they all go back to all their crazy shenanigans, oh the hilarity.

also why have the mother dead? i mean, again whats the point? they hardly do anything with this story, so why kill her in the first place?

You are expecting too much 'story' in a SOL/comedy.

It's like asking why ( going by your list )


Answer: Because it's a comedy/sol.

Could be worst episode for me so far, just seemed quite random and weird.

At least we finally get to Choi telling Tamako she is the bride. I wonder about the whole deal with the mole on the neck that Choi was gasping over since Tamoko's mom had the same exact mole.

All that is left to see is who will pick Tamako up, the Prince, or Mochizou.

I actually thought this was my favorite episode. I mean, Kyoto Animation did say Midori has some romantic feelings towards Tamako on the official site (hence why she sort of freaked in episode 5), so I was actually glad that the had at least an episode of Tamako X Midori and not Tamako X Mochizou like they always do. Plot wise, it kind of reminds me of episode 11 of K-On! season 1...

Adding on, I thought that there was some great character development for Midori and Shiori (they basically re-created the bathroom scene, except in the opposite direction).

I highly doubt Kyoto Animation will make Tamako marry the prince with out actually knowing a single thing about him (he seems cute, so maybe it's a good match?). I think Midori would beat someone up if that happens o____o , and I'd feel so bad for Mochizou, even if I wouldn't prefer him to match up with Tamako at the end.

School festival planning. Energetic friend of Tamako who does the planning cannot think of anything to the extend that she got depressed. lol @ the bird dancing to cheer her up.

That mole on her neck is the proof?

Well said. It's an entertaining and cute show and all, but what o_O Someone said it, but they definitely don't really act like high schoolers, at least not all the time.

This episode was nice though. Midori's got really good friends, but then again, I don't think there's any unlikable characters in this show ^^ I love the paper cup scene with Mochizou and Tamako~ Such adorable childhood friends.

Not the best episode.
But, it was cute I suppose.
There's always a tease of plot development at the end.
It doesn't seem it will go anywhere dramatic.

Also, interesting cuts during this episode.

They don't like like the high school in your country and city, but that does not mean they do not act like high school students in some Japanese town.

I thought you don't mind character and relationship development, no? When you develop friendship with your classmate, do you ask what the point it is?

I believe your complaint is the definition of pointless complaining. The episode's focus is clearly to highlight the process of Midori going through the angst and worry about preparing the choreography and how she found friendship and bonding in the process. The result is not the main point. The point is how to show what kind of great choreography she and her friends came up at last, but the process that everyone took to achieve that.

volt79 said:

I guess you did not watch the last episode, did you? Or you watched but did not think why it has to "do anything with this story" -- the story is never about the prince finding a wife. At most that is just one of the many elements of the story. The real main story is about the various things in the daily life for the characters in the neighborhood and school, which may look small but are all noteworthy in their own way for the people involved, and here Tamako's father's story is in fact serving a key point.

Total agreement here. That bird really was annoying before Choi arrived. At least now he can be actually funny when he's bullied by Choi.
