Is it me or did this episode feel a bit short...
I cannot wait to rewatch this and notice how much sensei has changed. Glad to see the other city boys have changed a bit as well. I wonder if this will lead to the country folk visiting Tokyo. Naru in Tokyo, Tama in Akhibara, yesss
perfect.

I love Miwa, but wish Tama had more time. They need a Hina, Miwa, Tama and Naru thing, the older ones teaching the younger ones stuff, would be great.

A really sweet and funny episode that is probably my favorite so far. Truly inspiring.

Never, EVER fails to make me smile. Inspiring and hilarious, awesome anime. Always feels so short due to how enjoyable it is, kinda sad that it's already more than halfway over..

LOL, the way they're acting on their first fishing trip and what they're doing reminds me of how my friends acted when I took them fishing for the first time XD.

"A hideous-sad fish" LOL... a high-grade fish, now I understand...

Kanzaki was really annoying until he felt the taste of utter defeat.

LOL, Haru went nuts and pushed Handa-sensei and the guys in the ocean.

"EBISU!"

Too bad guys, you'll have more luck next time.

Hahahaha, Haru ruining that really serious moment XD.

This series makes me so happy :) It was really cool how Handa wrote the kanji of sea bass in sea bass hahaha. Naru is hilarious as always. She must be giving her parents a handful. Maybe that's why she's never at home lmao

Wow Handa has grown so much in just 7 episodes. Those deep beats at the end. Whew.

"Want to take one of the children home?" XD Gosh they're so cute and lively.

This anime is so cute <3

Yet another heartwarming amazing episode.
Hopefully this isn't the last time we see those two; their interactions with Handa-sensei and the others were great.

This got me on a whole Tsuritama vibe. I loved that show. Some of the soundtracks also reminded me of it.

Anyways I'm really digging this anime, I forgot how nice it is to watch slice of life anime. I like the whole fantasy of Hiroshi and Handa being together, I totally want at least a kiss from the two of them, they'd make a great yaoi couple.

Good episode, but not as incredibly funny as the other ones. That's probably because the show doesn't focuse as much on Naru anymore, which is a shame.

What I got from this episode : city people are a bunch of tsundere.

Naru obtaining the magnificant slightly long stick was hilarious. Great RPG parody. Then pursuing Hina with that cockroach, being friend with Naru must be hard for her x)

That kanji written with fishes was the best so far. Somehow made me really moved, like if we learned something with them.

The after-credit scene is again hilarious. They feel like little short at the end of the episode, a light little closure.

I cracked up when Hiro-nii broke the fourth wall and screamed ''I finally had an important scene!!'' xD

So, the moral of this episode goes something like this, from what I thought: Work hard to achieve your goals but if you throw yourself out there too much, you'll end up losing it all.

Loved what Naru did there, you go girl!

It actually worked, the hook! But it broke anyway xD Man I miss Tamako...

Wow I loved Handa's new piece.

That metal detector xD

Everytime Hina (and Naru, too) speaks, cuteness overload!

Again just where was Tamako, don't ditch her damn it...

It would have been nice to see Tama, but in my mind Miwa is best girl (and yes, I know this is not a romance but she is still best girl...just saying...).

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.

4/5

Another day passed with sensei Handa goes away, bringing a little more experience in his life.
Funny episode, narratively simple as to tell, funny, thanks to Naru but not only.
Not bad, even the choice of scenic, somewhat different from those seen in the TV series.
Drawings and animations better than the previous episode.
I look forward to seeing for the next episode.

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

It's sad that he didn't have a big sheet for the fish calligraphy. I mean, you can't do anything with it being on lots of small sheets, can you?

All the kids have to leave sooner or later, don't they? I guess their parents left, too. I wonder whether some found love somehwere else. I wonder if people will come back home to live with them on the island or if people stay "abroad". Maybe they come back when they're retired.

It really looks all so beautiful and relaxing!
If I hit someone at work, do you think I'll be exiled to a beautiful island, too?

This was so funny. I really like this show - it always gets me smiling. And I was cracking up so much for the scene at the airport. And when Hiro was having his serious moment Naru went and spilled the drink on him - I totally lost it. x)

I knew it was a bad idea to watch this during night when everyone else is sleeping. :D

While this episode wasn't as exciting as the previous episode, I feel like it showed a lot more character development in Handa. He stopped being so uptight and pessimistic, and is more flexible and is looking towards the future.
