| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A rather lighthearted episode compared to many of the others this season and I find it nice to see Rei in a better mood. I just love the Kawamoto sisters as their personalities can easily brighten up anyone's day (looking at you Momo). Really felt like this episode is more of a breather before the series' final episodes. Can't have fun without proper food!  Hinata is such an inspiration as she tries to improve herself in academics. |

| In this episode, we can watch a new Rei evolve how human, and his relationships with "humans" and not only with a board!!! I don´t believe that the season is near to end!!! |
| Hayashida x Akari, maybe? |

| It's always nice to see the mustache dude. |
 |
| Hina got to visit Rei's high school and had a lot of fun. Now that she wants to go there, she's going to have study really hard to get into it. The Pampered Udon looks so good. |
 |
| Fantastic episode again, it had me smiling the whole time and just overall heartwarming. Was real nice of Rei to invite the Kawamoto sister's to his club hangout after he saw Hina was struggling to figure what she wanted to do. The Science-Shogi club's activity was a lot of fun to watch and seeing everyone all smiles made me really happy as well. Hayashida elbowing Rei after his delusions about Rei falling prey to romance was hilarious and his reaction after seeing Akari was absolute gold. XD Couldn't stop grinning when both Akari and Hina said they liked Rei's high school. Seeing Rei teach Hina was great. :) I wanna be pampered with pampered udon too. XD Hina is such a sweet girl worrying about money and stuff but Grandpa is right, Hina shouldn't worry about it and him saying the fact that it seems like a place she'll have fun is more than enough reason to goto that high school was great. :) It's all these small, intricate and intimate depictions of life that make 3-Gatsu so compelling in illustrating it. |

| Super fun and heartwarming episode. I have to mention how sick this ED is. Every time it starts up I get chills. Super hyped for the double feature next week! |
| Blissfull episode from start to finish. Trip to the school with Kawamoto sisters was way too fun and mustache guy getting mistaken as sensei always cracked me up xD The story behind the Pampered Udon was pretty sweet and touching. I want to get pampered too :/ And Hina showed again how considerate she can be,but she shouldn't have underestimated her grandpa. As he said,seeing family happy is worth more than money. Next week will be the last time :@ But fortunately it's a special. |

| I loved seeing Hayashida after so much time, I missed him a lot. Did he fell in love with Akari?! OMG. Was cool seeing Rei having fun too. He has progressed so much since the beginning of the series. Wish the best for Hina to enter to Rei's school! The conversation she had with her grandpa about how she was concerned about how much money the family would spend due her decission to join a private school was very sweet. Grandpa Kawamoto is great. I have to say it, but it's amazing the quantity of foodporn this series has. Not that this is a bad thing, mind you. |

Artur_Moreira said: Hayashida x Akari i ship it. Me too. About time Akari finds a solid gentleman she can share her life with. Hayashida would treat her right. |

| These past couple episodes have just been so wholesome, it really makes me wonder how it will end. Can definitely relate to Hina thinking about the family's finances when making major education/career decisions; Grandpa's conversation with her was so sweet. |
| Can anyone here believe that Akari is only 19???? After this episode, I thought for sure she'd be in her low or mid-twenties. |
| A comfy episode. Shocked that time was skipped to the new year. Hina and Grandpa conversation make my tear dripped. It shows the big sacrifice of a parent in nurturing kids |

| That was the coziest episode i've seen in a long time. Absolute fluff. Rei and Hina in the same room learning, it was a fantastic experience, i was so immersed. |
| What a great & fantastic feel good episode. I loved it. So nice of Rei to invite the Kawamoto sisters to hang out with his club. Those noodles look delicious. LOL Hayashida Sensei absolutely stunned by Akari's beauty. Hina possibly going to Rei's High School would be great. Just gotta past those entrance exams first. Akari's pampered Udon looks amazing. Wish I could eat some of that. Gonna be sad when this show ends. |

| Such a fantastic episode This just confirms it, Akari is one of the best waifus anime has ever created. And Hayashida and his reactions are pure gold |

Mezo-RPWPA said: I still hope it happens, and I hope that what you wrote is a speculation and not a spoiler tbh No, it's a spoiler... I don't know how far in the future it is though, so it may happen at the climax of this season, or sometime in the next one... |

| Dear lord I ship Hina and Rei so friggin' hard it hurts when I'm reminded that she likes that other dude when I read the posts above ;.; Fantastic episode, as usual. Rei actually has fun with his friends and Hina finds a place where she wants to go. Also, Hayashida just found his waifu, lol. His faces and reactions are always priceless. Only two episodes until this season ends and boy will I miss this series until season 3 is announced. |

I'm happy that you didn't spoil it, it was going to ruin it for me tbh I dunno... it might be one of the most revolutionary things the series will do in the future... if the result of this spoiler is good, then it should theoretically wash away all the disappointment. |

| Uneventful ep but it was nice that Hina wants to go to the same school Rei went to, I guess those guys really impressed her ( but still those guys are old). What really stood out for me is Grandpa telling Hina not to worry about the cost to the school, I think that was cool for Hina to be considerate. Although Grandpa is not popular or has less screentime, I dig him he's one cool character. |

| Wow, the artwork seems so different in this episode. |
| Another great episode! I really love those peaceful slice-of-life moments and Hina x Kei relationship is just precious. It's obvious she want to take over the shop in the future and that her true happiness lies with her family and Rei. Didn't expect the timeskip though, they jumped almost half year forward. But guess that's okay as the worst thing this series could do is to run in circles and repeat itself. So they are year older now, and soon Momo would go to school too. Really wonder how entrance exams would go though. From PV, it seemed liked Hina would be forced to try the school in Shikoku instead (perhaps she fails her first tests?) and Rei would be on verge of breaking when he thinks about losing her... The feelz would be definitely strong with the next episode. |
| I kind of had a feeling Hina might want to try to get into Rei's high school, it was awesome seeing Rei get so into it lol I couldn't stop laughing at Hayashida when he was nudging Rei after he noticed who she was, and then his reaction to seeing Akari LOL (I would probably have the same reaction...) |
| That soundtrack on the flashback of Kiriyama was top notch. |
 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
| well that was another heartwarming episode... I like how things keep progressing slowly and gradually.... two episodes to go |
 |
| Rei's laughter is the best thing! Glad that Hina is finding her way and that she has such a great family. |
 |
| Nobuyuki just looked too old , i laugh when they thought that he is the teacher Rei could teach math well but he could teach shogi well Food looks so good , its nice to have a dependable older siblings , sadly i dont have a dependable 1 Gramps gonna work hard ofc if you want to go to private high school, he will do it for you hina |

Oooh it's a spoiler. Why did you spoilt it man? I specifically said not to, wtf is wrong with you?! I didn't tell you what happened! Not even I know what fully happens! |
| This was definitely a more lighthearted episode, and it was absolutely fantastic for it. After seeing Hina suffer for at least half the season, plus Rei's issues here and there, it's great to just get an episode with everyone being happy and enjoying the simple things in their lives, as well as giving Hina something to aim towards and Rei something to look forward to. Such simple and understated things, but this show once again captured it all in magnificent fashion. |
| This anime is just perfect. |

| Here to get my weekly dosis of warmth and love. Absolutely soothing. I got so excited over Hayashida 's reaction to meeting Rei's "love interest" (in his eyes) and seeing Akari for the first time, that was HOT. |

| Wow Hina's drawings really are something. The bane of summer vacation is always gonna be homework. After the bullying incident i guess its normal for Hina to have doubts about what path she should take next. Hina and Akari's presence sure made the event more lively. Its nice to see Rei have so much fun with friends. Going to the same school as Rei will be good for Hina. Rei's reaction to being told this was pretty interesting and unexpected though. So the pampered udon is something like a family tradition huh. A relaxing and entertaining episode as always. |
