This episode was so... damn... good. It literally had everything you can ask from this series. Handa is the best!

I really teared up when he started realizing how awful he was to the director, he's grown so much as a person.
Then, he ruined the star calligraphy and I screamed.

Awesome episode as always! I like how we can see Handa really improved with his calligraphy and how much character development he had throughout the series.

This is the best episode I've seen, I guess that it easily makes this anime Summer 2014's best.

Part of my Top 10? Most definitely.

I cried during the phone call... And they even made it "drama-free", but I just couldn't hold it T_T

I'm glad he apologized to the director. Afterwards, that phone call from Naru and the others was so precious...

Handa's parents might be considering that they may have made some mistakes with their son in the past. That's pretty cool, I didn't expect them to make any self-reflection like that.

That hot drink, impulsive as ever, to paraphrase the director.

Lol at how he got himself a ponytail like Naru as inspiration.

How else can you interpret Sensei needing two guys roleplay as little girls by tieing them up?

That was a sweet scene when Naru called him.

I hope he and the island residents meet again.

Poor Handa, he's as overanxious as ever lmao. Sad that he left without saying a word, a little cruel imo. Good episode.

Well, he apologized to the director but that scene with him and Handa's dad was funny lmao.

Pretty cute how he put on a Naru ponytail for hopes of inspiration.

Bwhaha, the mom walking in while he's tying them up. I laughed so hard!

It warmed my heart so much how they all got on the phone to talk to him.

Another brilliant episode.

The silliness of it is so lovable, and the sound she makes. I just think of what the studio were thinking and the fun they had when they made it, and I laugh even more.

There every fiber of his being was screaming sincerity when he apologized to the director, but then just a minute later he splashed his face with whatever he was drinking. Some way to back off from your words lol.

The anxiety might have or have not felt real, but Handa's conversation with everyone back at the village did genuinely feel one. So heartwarming and precious at the same time.

By the way, his mother should've showed up earlier:(
