And I think all of her quotes are slightly inaccurate.

Peace.
More like the combination of being told to treat the day just like any other day, without all the hype - just like has has for a couple of decades at least, juding by his age, and seeing Ohana suddenly begin to cook the meals. I doubt he could have watched her ruin the reputation of the inn's kitchen in silence. That would have snapped him back, I deem. But of course it's all nothing but speculation since the plot took a different route.Originally Posted by Buffalobiian

What the hell, Ko! I can understand the dude might want to avoid bothering Ohana when things sounded so hectic, but not even showing his face or at the very least having a look at the inn after travelling an obviously considerable distance to that backwater town and having such a warm phone conversation with her. He sorely disappointed me. While this episode was otherwise jolly good, including the classing stunt of falling into the wedding room from her peeping position, Ko's behavior ruined half of it for me.
And don't forget the appearance of that other girl at Kou's work... Add the fact of Ohana being curious about Tohru's smell (although she did wonder how Kou would smell) I see bumps on this relationship.
I seriously wanted to kill the consultant, idiot son and pervert writer. They seriously have junk in their heads. Last time I said Minko left the dislike list because of the Consultant... well lets add idiot son and pervert writer.
Its really obvious who the real reporter was. Heh.
I'm really looking forward to next episode thanks to that preview. Awesome.
The danger lies on Ko's side. Ohana is pretty much into Ko right now. The helmet thing is not about Tohru, it was about Ohana seeing Ko as a member of the opposite sex. Thanking someone who only called you on a phone that much... yeah, nuff said.
I loved the tempura scenes. They didn't half-ass it. The ice bowl for the batter, the sound of the frying, the proper taste test... it was a very good representation of how it should be done. I just hope Tohru does not go for Ohana. That would really be a messy soap opera-like development, and I would hate it.
I felt disappointed about Ko, but I don't blame him. The situation was just not favorable, but he scored big nonetheless. I just hope that meganekko does not get in the way of his pursuit of Ohana.
Peace.
I certainly pray neither of these will happen. While this series tries to follow a realistic path to a certain degree, and I've been happy with it, I would still immensely appreciate if it didn't, realistically, make people give up based solely on their own assumptions, easiness, and level of comfort. There's zilch romanticism in that and the extra realism points granted are cheap indeed.
Regarding Kraco's post as well, I would actually be disappointed if this new girl didn't get in the way and distract Ko.
Ko scored huge with Ohana, especially that she's starting to see him less as "Ko-chan" and more of a member of the opposite sex. The problem is he doesn't see that at all. Ohana had an epiphany since she came to Kissuisou. She sees her grandmother's viewpoint rather well, and desires to fulfill it as well as have the inn grow, not simply maintain the only place she has left to go.
I thought it was fairly obvious that Ko did not see this excursion as a victory. If anything, he may have actually been discouraged. Ohana is far away from him, and it does not speak well to his character if he expected her to drop everything and go see him. He doesn't seem to have figured out how much she cares for her new home. She explained pretty much everything to him, but his reaction was still a bit turned out. The train schedule couldn't be helped, and same goes for Kissuisou being full. But there is more than one inn in Yunosagi (admittedly perhaps not in his price range...). He gave up right after that.
Given the new girl's proximity to him, and the focus on her, it would be strange if he didn't start drifting from Ohana. Long distance relationships suck, and the two of them weren't even in a relationship yet. Ohana has only started realizing her own feelings.
Yeah, I don't want that kind of soap opera like development, even if it is realistic as you say.
I think it's fine if the girl tries to get in the way, but does not succeed. That means Ko should be able to fend off her advances without thinking of quitting on Ohana.
Peace.
I really hope that's the most that would happen, should anything happen between them at all. I got enough long distance relationship realism from 5 cm to last a lifetime.
What about looooooooooooong distance relationships as in Voices of a Distant Star? That was realistic...in terms of time lag anyway.
----------------------------
To be honest, I half-expected that when Kissuisou was full Ko-chan would go to the Fukuya Inn where Yuina would ogle him. For comedic effect, not drama. I was really let down he gave up so easy.
That was my thought too. I'm sure she'd play around with him and stuff but release him right after learning he's Ohana's.
Regarding the whole Ko/Ohana thing, I can see it happening where Ko would warm up with the new girl a bit only to later turn her down after he gets his thoughts and feelings straight.
Likewise I was impressed with the tempura scene. Literally, I saw the detail and thought ".. wow.. ".
Also nice was how Tohru handled Ren. I could only think of him coming in and telling Ren off somehow (and while that would be inappropriate considering the hierarchy, it was the only thing I could come up with). Taking the underclassman route was something both realistic and surprising. The only flaw would be that knowing he's in charge of everything could increase Ren's pressure, but it could have been either way. I'll give Tohru the benefit of doubt that he knew what he was doing.
Also note: when was the last time you saw a girl grab the guy's waist on a motorcycle and NOT have the guy blush from the pressure applied to his back? Then again.. we didn't have Nako there to give a proper demonstration.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I think having a reliable cook working for you is enough to alleviate a lot of the pressure he was feeling.
Peace.
It was also a step toward normalcy. The whole thing started to go wrong for Ren when the idiot consultant confused him and he was unable to cool his head down afterwards. The only thing he needed was for things to be like they always were. Tohru seemed to do the trick.
ugh, just watched ep 1, and i hate almost every character, lol.
why does Minchi randomly hate on the main character? Makes no sense. And the main character´s happy-go-lucky attitude is super annoying. I assume she´s the typ that always gets what she wants, without any actual effort, sigh. Well, I´ll watch some more episodes, since production value seems nice enough.
Are you blind and deaf?
Didn't you see her mother?
Peace.
Yeah, considering her utter failure of a mother and all the consequences of that, she's a real hero to still possess such a positive personality.
First of all, I was talking about Ohana´s current state, not how she became that way. Secondly, it´s just my assumption. I have only seen two episodes so far. But let me explain what I mean: There are characters that have to go through real hardships, give it their all and still won´t reach their dream goal. And then there´s characters that have minor problems, solve them by brute force and get their happy end.
To me, Ohana is the second kind, and the scene where she confronts Minchi and Nako in ep 2 further strengthens my belief. I dont know what follows, so all this can still change. But so far, that is my impression of Ohana.
And lol, the author is attempting rape on her or what, lol?! DLing ep 3!
I swear that each and every time I see an MFauli post I think he'll rant about how he hates the episode, hates the characters and how Naruto is better. Two out of three options have been fulfilled already. I await the inevitable Naruto comparison.
go click on the Kaiji 2nd Season-topic!!1 :P
Being abandoned by your mother is a minor problem..?
Peace.
