| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah this episode had more drama than I had expected. I kinda felt bad for Poko at coming in during that argument. Kid almost feel into the waters. That fishing skill though. It's a damn octopus! I like how after Poko came in, the tense feeling of that argument got cool. Poko always brighten anyone's day~ |
 |
| Ah yes, serious discussions of life choices, careers vs families, with a fishing backdrop. Plus more adorable Poco levity. Catching an octopus is pretty good, I guess, just beware the tentacles! XD |
| Wait that guy is a doctor? Who knew. I thought it would be some work involving physical strength. Nice episode but ye nothing special so far. I will sound shallow but I would have preferred if Poko was a girl. I don't even know why I am so particular about that, but ye. Also I am not liking the Gaogao thing, annoying. |
 |
| poco is o cut... I wish they hadn't sho Go Gao for 3 to 4 mins at the end |
 |
| Slow but really nice episode. Nakajima is a bully but he's a nice guy. xD It was nice seeing Nakajima and Souta converse about career and family and also reminisce about the past fishing trip. Poko was adorable throughout the episode. They caught an octopus, Wow, :O Poco is terrified by it. xD I guess that's Souta sister at the end. Seconded, Not really feeling the Gaogao thing as well. |
 |
| We know more about our characters. Really informative and slow paced, good one. |
| I'm still not used to the gaogao part maybe if it was done with puppets I'd be more interested. Nakajima is an interesting character to say the least and next episode we meet another new character. I like that nakajima's mom is trying to get him to find a bride I found that part funny and when he asked about poco being a boy or a girl and to be honest I'm glad poco is a boy and not a girl because I've seen a few anime's that follow this kind of plot single guy takes care of little girl so it's nice to see a boy for a change. I enjoyed the lessons in this mainly how much souta has changed since his high school days and how he appreciates being back home. |
| Another good episode! I liked how Nakajima went from disliking Poco to laughing and having fun with him, looks like no one can resist that charm. Seeing Souta and Poco interact is heartwarming, he really takes good care of the boy. I wonder if the appearance of Souta's sister is going to make things harder for him. |
| That's good... My weekly slice of life was on point. Nakajima scaring Poko with an octopus was really fun, I laughed a lot! He's a good character, but I'm more curious about Souta's sister. O: |
 |
| Nice episode. Nakajima's got a nice car. Hilariously irritated by Poko. Nice to hear about Nakajima & Souta talk about what they've been doing. Nakajima working hard as a doctor & wanting to help his patients. Hmm wonder how Souta got that leg injury. LOL Poko ate some of the bait. Didn't expect them to catch an Octopus. Haha that Gaogao skit at the end & they ate the Octopus. |

| Aww I like Nakajima and how he messes with Poco. Also how he doesn't pull punches with Souta. Despite the shape-shifting tanuki this show is actually quite down to earth, which I like. Edit: not to say I dislike the Tanuki! I meant it as a contrast... |

| When it comes to this kind of series, a fishing episode is must! Just like Barakamon! The linking of lighthouse guiding the boats in sea to come back home with Souta's coming back to home was nice and touchy! |
 |
| This was an adorable episode. Poco getting ready was so cute xD Nakajima is a fun character. It was nice seeing him and Souta discuss about their lives. Pretty cool he is a doctor, but it seems that is all he could be. It was hilarious when he was poking fun at Poco, especially with that octopus xD I wonder how Souta got hurt.... And it looks like we are going to see Souta's sister next episode. Excited for the next one. |

If you think about it, "Why is there a shape-shifting tanuki." I'm not complaining or anything, but it is strange to have a random suppernatural element in a really down to earth anime. My guess is 1. It makes the show stand out and 2. Souta must suddenly have a kid somehow. As for the actual episode, I want to believe Sugita and Nakamura actually act like friends in real life like they do in the show. I hear they're really close (and maybe too close). |

| This episode was really good. I don't know how to explain it other than it felt "real". I didn't care for the first episode but the second and now third have been above average. The only issue I have left is I wish they'd remove the cartoon at the end and give us 2-3 more minutes of the actual show. |
 |
| Nakajima was a fun guy. "There's no patient at death's doorstep" lol. That's not what a doctor should be saying lol. But then again, it's a pretty valid reason to take things a bit lightly lol. I liked how he was swinging Poco around when he touched his car or whatever and then said that he would have swung him around if he had known Poco was a boy. How much would he have swung the kid around? Thanks to Poco, Souta is coming to like his hometown again and is confused whether to sell the house and restaurant and go back to Tokyo or not. He is starting to remember all the good memories of his childhood and school days with being with Poco. And now I think that woman is Souta's sister who is now here and is seeing two grown men sleeping together with a kid. That Gaogao thing was funny. A giant sunglasses wearing octopus shows out of nowhere and is about to use its slimy tentacles for something questionable lol. And the lighthouse fires an earth destroying cannon which is flicked away like it was nothing. And Gaogao is starting to like earth more. |
| So GaoGao is just Poco-vision? Damn Sugita, you really bully young tanuki bois. The episode was nice and relaxing, just two pals hanging out after ages and talking about life. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| this was a nice eisode they caught an octopus |
 |
| Such a heartwarming anime :-) really nice episode |
| After watching this episode you can clearly see where the story is going. Cant wait for the next episode. |
 Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. |
| As good an episode as this was, it really makes it way too obvious where this story is headed from here. Not that that's necessarily bad though, as I'm sure the show will find ways to be worth watching despite that. Also, I don't like the Gaogao stuff at the end of each episode, but it was funny how the octopus was voiced by the same person who voiced Koro-sensei. |
| Ahh. Marriage and career. Things that most people are allergic from. Now that is how you make a SoL. Simply real. And I'm skipping the Gaogao parts, it doesn't belong here. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| It felt like this episode was over in an instant. I absolutely loved it. More serious talk, and I think they handled it really well. |
  |
| I loved the episode to the core. Can't decide which one was better. This or or 3-gatsu no Lion. Nakajima's moments with Poco were hilarious XD I like how drama is presented for a SoL themed anime. |

FallenEntity said: This!! Same. To compare to something recent, this is a lot better than Amaama to Inazuma.I'm glad poco is a boy and not a girl because I've seen a few anime's that follow this kind of plot single guy takes care of little girl so it's nice to see a boy for a change. This series is really adorable. Nakajima teasing Poco was so cute xD |
 stop scaring poco, nakajima it was a really good episode and I'm really into it atm |
 |
| I swear to god Poco is the cutest thing ever! Though i will agree that the Gao Gao thing is not needed. |
| Omg, Nakajima is so cruel scaring poor Poco like that and I must be even crueler because I kept laughing at him every time he ran to Souta for rescue xD |
| this was a nice episode, it was really relaxing! i enjoyed nakajima and souta just talking about life, even if it wasn't anything outstanding they discussed. |
 |
| I warmed up to Tomokazu being Nakajima's seiyuu. At first I wasn't for it, haha. This was a pretty nice episode. |
"Be the change you wish to see in the world." ⛩️  |
| Next episode is definitely not gonna be Clannad I swear. |
 |
| Nakajima is such a man child. He reminds me of some guys I knew from school who never wanted to grow up, even after graduating from uni. He just has to attack whatever goes against his beliefs. Poco was cute this episode, but I think his presence was to indicate the differences in attitude between Nakajima and Souta. One is a hardcore bachelor, whilst the other is way more easygoing and less confrontational. Not saying one is better than the other, but to each his own lifestyle I guess. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Ok, it was awesome. I'm glad that it's not focusing on the food. L-Ryoshi said: Nakajima is such a man child. He reminds me of some guys I knew from school who never wanted to grow up, even after graduating from uni. He just has to attack whatever goes against his beliefs. The world would be boring if everyone would be serious or the same. Not saying that I like people like him, but people like him are also needed in this world. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Nice that this episode was focused on Souta's future. Nakajima really made this episode, Gintoki's seiyuu is so cool. It was funny how he always played with Poco, but was here to advice Souta :). I hope that there will be other serious episodes because I would like that he resumes the restaurant. |
| I notice that Souta doesn't have a Sanuki/Shikoku dialect unlike everyone else around him (or I'm just not good at detecting dialect/accents especially when it's very faint) because his way of speaking seems like standard Japanese. Even when he was in high school, he had a standard/Tokyo accent. LOL Nakajima doesn't seem like any doctor I've met. Having Sugita Tomokazu as his seiyuu just makes his character ten times more likable. I know how they feel though, being almost 30 and people pushing you to get married. It's annoying. Funny thing is, the people telling me to get married have the WORST marriages and relationships ever. |
| 臭い- |
| Fishing time with otoko childhood friend doctor and what they got is taco! (octopusy) lolz Poco so adorable even if he's getting bullied by Nakajima. sister finally appears! 4/5. |
 |
| I'm starting to wonder why they even put udon in the title. |
 |
| Poco is so cute I want a plushie of him in his half tanuki form xD |
| It was so fun, poor Poko, Nakajima really messed up with him. |
 |
| Ah real talk this ep., this show has some stuff that unexpectedly hits home pretty hard for a comedy SoL. I have never identified as strongly with someone as with Nakaji; I imagine that's exactly what I'll be like in 5 years time, albeit with better teeth. L-Ryoshi said: Nakajima is such a man child. He reminds me of some guys I knew from school who never wanted to grow up, even after graduating from uni. He just has to attack whatever goes against his beliefs. This is me. |
