    Also this ep tends to confirm grandpa was quite green for his age and teenagers might have strange tastes

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Yeah. I do not want to see this go down the depressing path ever again. It would break my heart..

    It's one thing for Kouki to listen to Rin, for the teachers to be surprised by the level of influence she has over him - but even those kids who were teasing Kouki decided to stop instead of challenging what she just said. That was something.

    I also chuckled when the girls said Kouki will bully Rin for that. That's how little they know about him. Probably the last thing that crossed their (or the teachers' minds, for that matter) is that Kouki will make school a living hell for anyone who bullies Rin.

    Rin doesn't seem like a person who would get bullied. She's mature, has outwardly strong mental integrity, isn't afraid to confront a "scary" looking person like Kouki, and has friends (including a scary looking person like Kouki). In short, the kind of person who never gets bullied. Her only weakness would be the abnormal family.

    Maybe amongst her normal female peers, yeah. I was mainly thinking of boys who like to do nothing else but compulsively bully people (and girls) - perhaps out of social/sexual frustration?

    Maybe that's more of a highschool thing.

    Perhaps. Although landing in a school with such a pathological bully present plus the school doing nothing about it requires bad luck. Especially in a place like Japan, where high school isn't compulsory.

    To clarify, I meant junior highschool.

    Isn't that middle school? You usually see that term used in manga/anime. For a good reason, just like you proved.

    Episode 10 - HorribleSubs







    - - - - - - - - - -





    I like energetic Rin a lot more than the bed-ridden one, of course, but this was a very tangible episode precisely because of that. Daikichi's inexperience showed clearly as well, whereas Kouki's mom again shined brightly. Such a good person to care so deeply for Rin. It seemed like her presence mattered a lot. There were also the same wholesome family vibes that having Daikichi, Kouki's mom, Rin, and Kouki under the same roof always produces.

    This show has only 11 eps, based on multiple sources, so there's only one more left. There have been anime that have stuffed amazingly lot in the last episode, but there's about as big a chance for this anime to include the rest of the manga as a bottle of booze to survive for a week in Bill's possession. Zilch, that is. In fact I'd prefer if it didn't even try but rather retained the calm speed it has had until now and ended with an open ending. A show like this doesn't really need a solid, conclusive ending in a first place. Aishiteru ze Baby (anime) didn't have one and has a permanent place in my Top 5.

    I disagree with your "a show like this doesnt need a solid, conclusive ending". But Iīd disagree about such a statement for every anime. I like conclusive endings.

    Anyway, I have no idea what theyīre going to show in the last episode. Thereīs so much thatīs unresolved. There wonīt be a second season, will there? If not...hm. Well, what Iīd like to see happening the most would be Daikichi and Milf marrying. Or at least officially dating each other (marriage seems to far in the future for it to be in the next episode). Actually, the fact that she seems to be ill would be the perfet starting point for that. Then next episode Daikichi would visit her and help her getting better, while in the process she realizes how truly nice of a man Daikichi is, and, well, then they kiss, Rin presses her hands onto her mouth, Kouki makes a comical angry face, and then they all laugh together. The end. Feeling good.

    Yeah, Iīd like something like that.

    I really can't see this show as being unpopular. Maybe not the MOST popular show out there, but still very solid. That in mind, I can definitely see a second season coming, and I think they're just taking a break in between each season's run like they've been doing to anime these days.

    I'll agree with Kraco that an open ending for this anime is perfectly fine. Forcing, or making up a closing episode is the last thing that they should do and completely ruins the flow this has.

    I didn't like the way Rin was drawn in that scene when Daikichi realised she had a fever. The watery eyes, the flushed roundness (an artstyle that was very prominent in Denpa Onna) feels very... pornographic.

    Milf loves Babies, Daikichi is ready to help

    It's pretty clear that they are already more than acquaintances.
    After all, she comes at his place and pretty much already fits in the housewife roles when she cooks or manages Rin illness.

    The hand scene just confirmed how far she already is in their relationship, only Daikichi is a little late in understanding that.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Meh, Iīll just assume then that Daikichi is having awesome intercourse with super milf right now :P

    Good episode, I guess, and just like some of you expected, they ended without some "forced" twist or drama. Even though I didnīt like that as much. Not saying it didnīt fit the the animeīs general tone, but I would have wished for at least "something" to happen. Even if it was just Kouki carefreely spouting "ano ne, Daikichi is almost like a dad, isnīt he!", and Daikichi and milf blushing.

    So, thereīs really no second season coming? Really weird, since the show clearly has a bigger plot going on.

    If they do a second season I really hope they don't animate the rest of the manga but do their own thing, either way this is the perfect place to stop.
    You are here alone again
    In your sweet insanity
    All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
    Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
    When all the world turns away to leave you lonely

    Yeah, I agree. I'm not going to spoil anything for anime only watchers, but let's just say the manga ending is not something I wanted to see animated, and thus this ending ensured this show will rank high on my favourite anime list. I suppose many threads were left hanging, foremost the situation with Rin's mom, and also Kouki's mom, but in the end this was a show about Rin and Daikichi above all. The show ended with both happy and full of life.

    Sort of strange that the two similar shows, Usagi Drop and Aishiteru ze Baby, both ended like this, dropping the manga ending out of the anime, and in my opinion were better that way.
