7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Episode that keeps well fixed joystick, demonstrating again a plot suited to the concrete and less frivolous, there is also the power of the printed paper! XD
Dialogues and humor are promoted in full, somewhat shorter designs a bit erratic in their quality.
I look forward to for the next episode ...

Naru selling those shells... I'd buy them all! She's irresistible man! Also I've tried those once and they're delish.

Great episode! If I wasn't laughing, I was at least smiling all throughout.

Village people think Kawafuji is a pedo lol

What is the most cowardly and shameful thing in human conduct? It's when people with power and people who flatter them hide in safe places and extol war, force patriotism and self-sacrifice on others, then send them to the battlefield to die. For the sake of peace in the universe, before we continue this fruitless war with the Empire, mustn't we first start by exterminating such evil parasites? - Yang Wenli

Naru and her skill of capturing little bugs is impressive. Jokes aside, I liked this episode too. And it's cool to see that Handa stands by his decision to stay in the village.

Probably the most thought provoking episode so far. Handa has to deal with the fact that no matter what he does, he'll have critics. He's either too conformist, or too wild. I like how the show presents change as not a good thing inherently, but if you feel that you're changing for the better, then it's good.

He's starting to realize that his desire for praise isn't as important as doing what he wants to do. He's not just trying to be contrary to his old, traditional style like in previous episodes, but now intends to write what only he can do. He's not trying just to show that old man how inventive he can be with calligraphy, but just doing it for the love of the craft.

This was probably the best episode so far because of how natural the story progresses. This problem was the inciting incident for the story, and was shown in a lot of previous episodes, but only now is somewhat resolved. A lot of the previous episodes started with a problem Handa had, then taught him what to do by the end of the episode with some sort of metaphor relating to country stuff. Not sayng the previous episodes were bad, but they felt less organic to the story when compared to this episode.

Fantastic episode. Hilarious from beginning to end and also with great character development. That My Friend Forever scene had me laughing so hard. And Handa's lines even gave me embarrassment lol. Hiro and Miwa trying to take care of him was pretty sweet. And the airplane scene was beautiful. All if the fujoshi moments with Tama are epic XD

Great episode. MY FRIEND FOREVER!

I love how everyone is trying to prevent Handa from knowing who Kosuke Konski was. What a fanboy. lol

Bwhaha, Naru and Hina trying to comfort him. "I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY!"
Then the paper airplanes were precious.

It still feels like he just got here, but Miwa and Hiro have shown themselves to already have Handa's back when it comes to valiantly attempting him to spare him the pain that is realizing that the kid who came with Kawafuji was the one who beat him in the last contest. This has become one big happy family before I even knew it.

And also before I knew it, it seems like even Handa himself had already grown a little, as it was revealed that he had known about the kid that beat him from the start. And yet, it didn't faze him that much; definitely not as much as it would've done before as he before he was literally fuming that someone younger than him beat him and probably without having to work hard or lose sleep over it like he did. But no, Handa just states that he's a little envious, and that's that.

Half way through now, this was a nice episode for the half way point too, both for the serious parts and the goofy parts, I think Naru’s pokeball of stink bugs will be one of my favorite moments by the end of this lol.

That forever friendship was nice, but I liked how Hiro and Miwa tried to avoid the tragedy(at least according to them), that was keeping the identity of that kid from Handa. Been just six episodes, but they've all gotten closer.

Handa's not going anywhere, he's here to stay, though that would mean he'll have to sign autographs whenever someone asks, but he can manage.. I guess lol. Also, don't die yet, Tama!
