Decent episode, a few scenes had me face palm myself. The spar scenes were a nice watch. Let the emotion come out. The grandma's pretty awesome. The ending was priceless though imo.

Ao and Hime talk. Looks like character song by every main character is used in a part. Very fun overall (and touching sometimes).

When the nurse first came to the village. Wait, that small boy leader was more grown up in the past?? Wanting to grow up. Wow, Aikido.. to use opponent's power to defeat opponent... interesting. Cute little Hime.

That lady witch and... "Hana no Uta"?? next ep.

It was nice seeing Juri's backstory. She was certainly more reserved back then versus now.

Great episode.

1st half was a lot of fun and cuteness. Hime with her hair down looks really pretty and Ao is too KAWAIII <3...loved the scene Hime was patting her head and her cheeks <3
The vice principle with the 3 girls was lol XD

Dat first EYE Catch *A*

2nd half was full of feelz T^T...I didn't expect Juli to be like that when she was younger. Lol'd so much at old Yuuhi and his skirt flip just to be totally owned. The dude is BA when he was parrying her attacks in the duel and groped her, like a BOSS XDXDXD...He got sent flying in the end lol...Well he got a lap pillow so all is good ^^;...Hime's grandma is really such a lovable character. Her advice in life to Juli was really nice. And she's BA. Totally owning Juli there ^^

Lila making an appearance at the end there. She's HOT! And I felt like she looks like Juli. I guess she's the girl Juli remembered when she was asked if she had an imouto. Well nxt ep finally Hana no Uta starts. Let's see how good it will be done in 3 eps :D

Ao leads the pack as the most moe anime character of the year, while Juri-san is leading the pack for most sexiest anime character of the year. Enjoyable episodes which focused on two good characters. The titular arc starts next week.

Pretty chill episode. Got to know a little bit more about Juli. Never heard of a kid that wanted to be an adult just to have a loud voice. Now I see the reason. Was expecting to see Yuuhi grown up. I like him better as a kid. Granny is bad ass. Now wonder nobody messed with her. I think we need more Juli fan service. Hime and that phrase had me like what. I think I'm going to start using that. Can't wait for the next episode.

This episode was pretty relaxing. The flashback of how Juri came to the town was nice. Hime's Grandmother is real tough.

Mariabelle much prefers the young form, she gets grumpy when he's in the adult form, and thus the line from Juri in the flashback about her

I'm having a hard time following what's going on anymore. Also the animation seems weird this episode compared to the previous ones.

I'm glad the first OP is back.

Juri sleeping in her underwear was so hot.

Damn the fan service in this series is too good.

5/5

Without stopping the plot progresses, between everyday life, action, and new revelations narrative intrigue and caters for all tastes, I think! Good choice.
I had fun too, what you want? XD
Drawings not bad, but not up to the OAD, the character design lends itself very well to the comic scenes! LOL
Narration as I said, very nice, it starts with secen quaotidiane life and you end up talking about Juri and there is also plenty of room for Ao and there are two tiny! Kawaii ...
Some points of the story are obvious, but I still assumed to have no preconceptions.
Start the final arc which then gives its name to the series, Hana no Uta! * _ *
They are nice office to start it! : D

^ seriously this. I want a full season >< and I also think it's underrated, only around 9k viewers on this site last time I checked. I know that not everybody who watches this uses this site, but I compare to other series on this site, so relative to that.

It looked like the vice principal was actually enjoying himself with that nice "head cushion" And why was that girl riding on his shoulders?! LMAO.

Ooh Juri-centric arc. I like.

This episode had kinda a slow pacing. It didn't seem really important.

Well, I'm pretty sure we'll hear more about that imouto of that Frankenstein girl. Pretty sure also that it's that ''witch''. She said that she can change form, wouldn't it be that blonde girl from the beginning? She is surely also one of those yokai hunter.

Ao was so adorable, especially when Hime carressed her hair :3

Wasn't as interested in her backstory but it wasn't too bad I guess. And I'm guessing she had a younger sister and she's gonna show up next ep. Also gotta love that perverted kid who's a god (can't remember his name), seems he can change his form like yae? Interesting

The first hal seemed useless. THe second half was better. It was nice to get some backstory on Juri. So Juri had(has?) a younger sister.

Kana saw the ghost there at the very end. Turns out it was the witch, Lily.

-More Hime focus?
-A glimpse of the charm of the first few episodes resurfaced when they revealed the the three girls were working on Hime's homework the whole time
-Hime's response to Ao's concerns was pretty nice
-The reveal that the proverb was something that Hime thought up herself was pretty characteristic of the whole first half of the episode
-Zakuro finally got where she needed to go
-I didn't know Frankenstein was Japanese, unless Juri was talking about his creations
-Somehow Yae's demeanor fits her child form better
-It might be my hazy memory but this episode is animated a ton more smoother than even the other episodes from the 2013 series
-Where did this Juri arc come from, anyway
-Actually, that conclusion to her dream made it pretty obvious why they decided to structure this episode the way that it was
-Looks like the plot's resuming next episode

This episode had kind of an interesting structure to it, with tbe first half of the episode being focused on Hime's mayorship and the second half of the episode being focused on Juri's quest for justice. At first it seemed like there was absolutely no connection between the two halves of the episode but it became clear at the end of the episode that these two little sub-arcs were thematically related. The conflict behind both halves of the episode dealt with the role of each heroine's ancestors on their current roles. At the end of the first half, Hime comes to the conclusion that having the position of mayor passed down to her from her grandmother is just as precious as living out a normal life growing up. At the end of the second half, Juri realizes that not all adults were oblivious to the compassionate side of her ancestor and resolves to continue in the original Frankenstein's footsteps. (Although, I'm not exactly sure what Frankenstein was doing in Japan in the first place, but the sentiment was nice. Maybe his mad scientist skills were ) At the end of the episode, they show just exactly how Juri became a big sister to Hime, tying both halves of the episode together plot-wise as well as thematically.

I dunno, I guess I just love it when two things that seem completely unrelated get tied together in the end because one key piece of information was conveniently hidden from the viewers. That's probably why I loved how the first half of the episode concluded and the full flashback reveal in episode 7.

Lovely episode in theory, but some parts of the second half just didn't resonate with me

OP Song: 5/5

I loved it when a tissue box is on Ao head and it falls, how detailed!

Juri-centered episode. Sometimes this kind of episode is not bad at all.

Aikido fight is well detailed and it has quality animation.
