| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I can feel the wind just like Botan this episode~ The episode made me hungry. I haven't ate udon in ages.. Dat star constellations. It's weird how they can be connected like connect the dots. And swimsuits too~ |

| Well it sort of an relaxing episode, tracing those stars and connecting them. They look pretty good on their swimsuits in the 2nd half. Botan was funny when running through water. |
omega_d94Sep 12, 2013 11:22 AM
| Swimsuits.... And next week is off AGAIN !! |
| 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. |
| Seeing them as constellations lol. It seems like there is nothing that Botan can't do seeing how she's running on the water. |
 |
| LOL @ the Watamote reference. |
 |
| The fan service episode well at least some fan service and from the point of view since it wasn't all fan service it was a nice episode. It was also nice to see the girls looking at stars tho not the way it was intended. The swim pool reservation story was nice in a way. |
| lol Pokemon references for EVs and IVs xD Also no one chooses the grass type, NOT TRUE! Chikorita ftw! Dat ending. NAT CHAN |
 |
| Pokemon, Evangelion, and Watamote references! Man I love this anime. Natsuki is soooo cute <3 |
| Nice ending scene. This anime sure is strange. |
 |
| Now that was a great constellation joke |
 |
| The seal constellation was brilliant! |

| this week's episode is pure win xDD dat pokemon and dragon quest V references xDD I laughed really hard and I did choose the rich girl over the childhood friend in dragon quest V as my bride :P the mild fanservice is nice too :3 also constellations jokes, well that's new, at least for me xD |
| But that was an easy question, you choose the grass type starter (at least in the first 2 gens, and by the looks of it they referred to gen 1). |
StyleF1re said: furrball said: Hope I'm not the only one who would choose kitakubu over watamote Kitakubu over Watamote any day for me too! All I can say is, Botan has SKILLS. Watamote was so bad it made me drop it, so there's no doubt which one id pick. |
| lol@ Karin's "swearing" Not bad for a fanservice episode. I'd definitely choose Watamote over this any day, but it's great that I don't have to make that choice :) |
| Gotta love the references and the pile of rubble that was once called the 4th wall. Not to mention the entire staff working on this show showed up in a short scene. Also, Sakura's little speech on freedom was surprisingly serious, didn't expect something like that in my KKK. 5/5, gonna miss this show once it's over. Not to mention we are on a break for next week... Kitakubu > Watamote. |

 |
| Green stars! And weird constellations. I knew there would be a seal one sooner or later. Kitakubu > Watamote Kuudere > Tsundere Osananajimi > rich girl Aren't they all no-brainers? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| "Were our skies always this full of adult content?" Yes, Natsuki, they were. And I agree, people had very active imaginations back in the day. BTW, WataMote is far superior to this show. But I don't expect the brainless people who think otherwise to understand that. |

| Fans in Japan say that the more cultured and learned you are the more you will enjoy this anime and they are absolutely correct. It is not just game and anime in this episode, the children literature work of Miyazawa Kenji, constellations in the sky, trivia about udon in Shikoku, Rhinogradentia.... In fact the questions about how imaginative people were in naming constellations and how they looked so unlike the real thing (particularly the whale) were precisely the questions I asked when I first got into astronomy !! |

While that's true, I do think this show just does a poor job at delivering some of the jokes. Most shows of this kind were good, because they somehow managed to make a joke work without having to explain the reference behind it. In fact the questions about how imaginative people were in naming constellations and how they looked so unlike the real thing (particularly the whale) were precisely the questions I asked when I first got into astronomy !! Ditto. It's what eventually got me interested in Greek mythology. |

| watamote!!!! |
 |
| Why ais everyone talking baout WataMote in the Kitakubu chat? I just don't get it! I like both shows people have different opinion don't try to force yours on to everybody else! |
RetardedSeal said: Why ais everyone talking baout WataMote in the Kitakubu chat? I just don't get it! I like both shows people have different opinion don't try to force yours on to everybody else! Hum, did you watch the episode? There was a scene where they were talking about choices in life, and one of them was "Watamote or Kitakubu". So it does make sense to discuss it here, just like some are telling which Pokemon type they chose, or if they went for the rich girl or the childhood friend in Dragon Quest V. |
|
| This anime is pretty bad, but this episode gets bonus points for mentioning Watamote lol |
| if you dont like it - dont watch it. easy choice. edit: is everyone going to ignore the free! reference? ^^ |

Kitakubu > Watamote Kuudere > Tsundere Osananajimi > rich girl Aren't they all no-brainers? I'm not sure about the Kuudere one, but the others I'm behind 100% This show is hilarious, one of the most hilarious shows I've seen in my life. there were some jokes I just couldn't get, but that doesn't make the show bad for me, it just means I need to learn more. |
RafaRuizdeLira said: Also the part with Sakura unraveling the secrets of freedom by the pool. She went full Jean Paul Sartre for the latter half. Loved this episode. While I wouldn't normally consider the coverage of such a topic "profound" in any old anime (I guess I would even say it would be a boring or trite topic for many series types), it was hilariously substantial to see it in a CGDCT show. [not sure if I worded that right, but you get the idea...] |

This is why: http://i.imgur.com/cIsNXuUl.jpg It's obviously one of many shout-outs, but for many people the choice is quite clear, probably because Kitakubu is light-hearted, while WataMote is the exact opposite. |

| This episode was totally hilarious. I love the jokes and their conversations. "did the staff only go location hunting locally?" LMAO I also love Sakura's thought about freedom, and the constellation scene was funny as hell kuuderes_shadow said: Green stars! And weird constellations. I knew there would be a seal one sooner or later. Kitakubu > Watamote Kuudere > Tsundere Osananajimi > rich girl Aren't they all no-brainers? usually i'd go for Tsundere, but on this case i'd choose Ayanami over Shikinami all the time. And i agree with your choices. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
AO968 said: Hmm... I don't think this show explains its reference. Jokes will only work if you possess the necessary knowledge to see the humor behind them. If it uses some jokes that are unfamiliar to people who are not learned about Japanese culture and thus have to be explained to them about the references, it is not a fault for the show. It is just mismatch between the audience and the show. I for one is glad that it never tries to explain its references. If I did not know the reference, I just treat it as yet another opportunity to learn about Japanese culture and language, and hopefully next time when another joke on the same topic comes I can laugh about it.symbv said: While that's true, I do think this show just does a poor job at delivering some of the jokes.

| Symbv said: If I did not know the reference, I just treat it as yet another opportunity to learn about Japanese culture and language, and hopefully next time when another joke on the same topic comes I can laugh about it. Well said. This is a challenging show. There is a lot of very interesting stuff that you can dig up if you watch really closely. As for myself, I have limited knowledge of Japanese legends, ancient Japanese poetry and modern Japanese literature too. However, who could have guessed that this show requires knowledge of German poetry and classical music as well as the ancient fables of Aesop? The writers really used their imagination and they seem to be well-educated people. I can re-watch the old episodes and not feel bored. Even though Kitakubu has not been such a mega-hit, I hope that every member of this team will be involved in creating more high-quality work. |
| Was the next ep delayed again? Jeez.. |
 |
| On this page, http://www.ntv.co.jp/kitakubu/story/index.html you can see on the left that Episode 10 will be broadcasted on Thursday, September 26th. So, yes, they did take a one-week break. No reason has been announced anywhere that I have checked. |

|
| Yeah, so far three episodes have been delayed. Weird. 2013.07.04 放送 ＃1 2013.07.11 放送 ＃2 -- missed a week -- 2013.07.25 放送 ＃3 2013.08.01 放送 ＃4 2013.08.08 放送 ＃5 2013.08.15 放送 ＃6 -- missed a week -- 2013.08.29 放送 ＃7 2013.09.05 放送 ＃8 2013.09.12 放送 ＃9 -- missed a week -- 2013.09.26 放送 ＃10 放送 = hōsō = broadcast It's pretty strange. Even so, I don't mind at all since I think that each new episode is golden and well worth the wait. This season, this is the one anime series that I feel desperate to see each week. By the way, I have no issue whatsoever with the quality of the voice acting. I know that a lot of other people have complained about the voice actresses. I am not saying that those opinions are wrong, since I respect people who have better "ears" to judge good and bad voice acting. However, my point would be just that I doubt that a significant number of people have actually dropped this series primarily because they didn't like the voice acting. There is something else that is really, really weird. Within the past 24 hours, somebody sent out 33 official tweets from the Kitakubu Twitter account. That is an unusually large number. https://twitter.com/kitakubu_info One of those tweets mentioned something about Episode #11. Amazingly, it turns out that . . . |

| I miss the going home club :( |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| A very distinctive feature of Kitakubu is that they post a fairly detailed summary of next week's episode. In fact, they always do this a full week in advance. So it is possible to have a fairly clear picture of what the episode is going to be about. The summaries are in Japanese, and here is the one for Episode 10: http://www.ntv.co.jp/kitakubu/story/story10.html I have never seen anything like this. At most, other anime series will show a few still preview frames or perhaps a very short "trailer". In the case of Kitakubu, this can be pretty useful. For example, in Episode 5 there was that segment about the "Demon King" chasing the father and his son through the forest. The episode summary gave me a full week to figure out what that old legend was about. I had never heard of it. Call me poorly-educated. My Japanese, is poor, but I can read enough to see that there are some exciting things coming up in this week's episode. Let's hope for some OVA's, a second season and a movie. Here is the OP (long version), including the lyrics in English, Japanese and Thai. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nufEFLDKsFA |

| New ep soon pls.... |
|
| Lol poor grass type Ofc Ayanami!! (Rei) Kuudere FTW! But Asuka is adorable too ah can't decide xD Sorry, but Watamote!!! Quote of the day : "You don't have to censor 'repeating'! " Censoring all things are funny(even if it doesn't need to) xD Oh even ancient people knew about cups size ==" Natsuki-chan of the dead xD Wow I just love that sloppy ending :) AnimeFanWhoDied said: animehobbit said: edit: is everyone going to ignore the free! reference? ^^ I thought I was the only one who noticed. xD I thought it's really freestyle swim.. Well Free is about swimming so.. yeah thank you for reminding me of it xD Choroshi said: kuuderes_shadow said: Green stars! And weird constellations. I knew there would be a seal one sooner or later. Kitakubu > Watamote Kuudere > Tsundere Osananajimi > rich girl Aren't they all no-brainers? usually i'd go for Tsundere, but on this case i'd choose Ayanami over Shikinami all the time. And i agree with your choices. Watamote > Kitakubu :) Well, I love both Tsun & Kuu... Ojou-sama > Osananajimi (because almost every childhood friend get friendzoned) |
"Signature removed"   |
| Pretty random and fan serviced episode, lets see what's next! |
 |
| They managed to put so much into this episode! First Udon, then trip to onsen, stargazing, Natsuki brother and then pool party :) And again, there were some hillarious references :D Now I just wonder why they did those first few episodes so boring. |
| Dem references, like Pokemon and Watamote. Lol at copyright, the stars, the fanservice, Botan walking on water, and the ending. It was a nice episode, overall. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
