| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ah, what a cute dog The more the merrier. I'm actually quite glad this series decided to introduce non-human characters. I actually like how the episode made that dog look like a big deal. Some of the comedy looked like memes while others were very charming. Hime and Kakushi's character chemistry also continues to spread its charm as I had expected. |

| Another week, another dose of cuteness from Kakushigoto We still haven’t got confirmation but I’m assuming the limo guy is Hime’s grandfather based on the hints he’s been dropping. Hime and her mother look like mirror images. Liked the JJK reference and nods to other ongoing WSJ series. I hope we get more information about the time-skip world soon. We’ve really been blue balled on it since like the second episode. If there’s “good news and bad news” maybe Goto sensei is just incapacitated which would be a lot easier to bare than the alternative.. But Ichiko sensei post timeskip😍😍 https://imgur.com/a/vmscOH3 |

What is this? Just let the mothers who are gossiping, please return cheerfully ... Hime is actually already happy as long as his father returns home Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Great episode, especially during the first half with the puppy, and we even saw Hime's mother when she was little, now her daughter is with the descendant of her dog xD they should have take a cat instead of a dog though. |
 |
| "You need a mom at home to take care of the dog." Ouch, my heart 😭😱 Hime's dog training is hilarious😂😂 being concerned that the dog might drag her away.  |
 |
| Hm? Did someone delete/report my text or something? I literally just meant that it isn't out here yet and that it's a matter of minutes/hours. Like, for me, here. |
  tysm iva-🐢💜 |
| The dog is directly related to Hime's mother, this is getting complicated, I also wonder who's that man in the black car |
 |
| Aww what a cute episode! Hime is getting in touch with her motherly side now in many ways!

| Glad no one was around to see me Creepily? smiling at my screen for 20 minutes straight. They really left us hanging at the end there Thorckan said: The dog is directly related to Hime's mother, this is getting complicated, I also wonder who's that man in the black car The grandad I believe he said Hime’s grandad who painted her mother was a piece of shit and he clearly doesn’t like the guy car who gives Hime lots of things like a grandparent does |
 |
| It was a really fun and sad episode. I teared up during the dog scenes because my dog who's been with me for 9 years died a month ago. Too bad he didn't live up to 10 years as the commandments implied. T_T I'm curious on the good and bad news at the end. |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
| Berserk is garbage confirmed. This was a pretty nice episode with some serious feels. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That conversation shifted from dog to himself fast lol. The feels were great in this episode. Hime's mom's dog's descendant is now with Hime, that's really nice. The part from future is always so tense, I'm really worried about what happened to Gotou in the future. |
 |
| Let's get on with more theories about the man in the limo and Goto-sensei, shall we? The man in the limo is most probably Hime's grandfather, with how he said 'she'll be just as good at the piano as her' or something like that. And all the talk about lineage, giving Hime a dog and the piano... if that's not a doting grandfather I don't know what is. It also fits the part about the paintings, too. Hime's grandfather is the painter of that art of Hime's mother and the first generation of that dog, as per what Goto-sensei said. He also said the person was a 'shitty person' so Goto-sensei hates him, and he does hate the man in the limo. Keshi also recognized the art style, a subtle hint to him mentioning he loved that style in the previous episode. It would also fit how he commented about how Goto-sensei would never accept having a mangaka as Hime's wife, which leads us to assume he has a strong distaste for manga authors. It'd fit because he's a traditional Japanese painter. As for the good and bad news Ichiko-sensei mentioned at the final parts of the episode... I still think Goto-sensei is dead. |

| I'm really digging this more plot focused story tbh rather than just gags everywhere like the author's other SZS. This is way better lmao DeeDash said: Aww what a cute episode!

TendonTitis said: Thorckan said: Come on man, everything doesn’t need to be spelled out to the viewers. This show has great and clever writing and does a very good job of “show don’t tell”. That man is clearly Hime’s maternal grandfather, who is also the famous painter that Gotou Sensei is jealous of. The dog is directly related to Hime's mother, this is getting complicated, I also wonder who's that man in the black car Sorry great master I dont have your 4 digits IQ, forgive me for being so dumb Writing your very first forum post to tell me this was great of you Many thanks and have a nice day |
|
| Ahh those end scenes are killing me. But I still believe it's all just a trap and nothing bad happened. |
| A pet is a good idea for a child. I remember when I got my dog, it helped me in so many ways and had him for 17 years... ;_; I think the mention of feeling alone without any siblings was a nice touch. Also, Hime is slowly hearing things that are impossible when you do not have a Mom, I feel so sad for her. That moment and her eyes, it hurts... So the person in the painting is Hime's Mom and the dog is also breeding within the family. The person in the limo has to be the grandfather. Grandparents love to dote their grandchildren. Hime's Mom also taught about Goto-sensei with the recipe and the food ;_; Ohhhh, nice to see Hime's friends and see them more grown up... Oh! Ichika-sensei! Oh nooooo, Oh nooooooo, what good and bad news?! |

| Man of the limo is basically confirmed to be Hime's grandpa, and the painter Kakushi was talking about last episode (explaining why he had so many of his paints in his house). I laughed more of what I should when I heard the bark of the dog. Didn't expect it to sound so human-like. Kakushi can never catch a break in his work. More often than not, he always ends trolled. |
 |
| That was a very fun episode. That painting was too funny, and what a cute dog! Another concerning ending though...Oof. |
| Frick man I should not be crying during this anime! God Dammit! Another great episode. Holy crap Ichiko Sensei with Long Hair...Gotta say...I am not a fan. I like the track suit better. Hime finally gt her dog and it's a fourth Gen. That is awesome. Idk why the last digit of that painting was covered up but whatever lol. My guess is the main story is happening around 2009-2011 area. |

| Does anybody know who did the dog's voice??? Oh that post credit where Hime's classmates were kokosei and their former teacher who is now a bomb seems to indicate that Hime's dad maybe dead and good news seem to point that she'll be living with her grand dad. |
| Sensei looks extremely young at the end lol. Pretty loli. Still praying he's just hospitalized or something that's just not dead. Hime hearing those people talk about how you need a mom for a dog...Ugh. People are ignorant. Glad she got her puppy. Overall this was my favorite episode so far. Jokes hit better and we saw a wider range of Hime emotion including wonderful smiles |
 |
| Wow Ichiko-sensei looks so much better with long hair... Waiting one more week to hear the news from her....they can't do this to us..... |
 |
| I'm getting more and more curious about those prologue scenes at the end |
 |
| From Ichiko sensei saying she has some good news and bad news, I now have renewed hope that Gotou isn't dead but just got into an accident that means he MIGHT die... but he survives. At least, desperate little heart is gonna cling to that! Omfg the dogs 'wan wan' is so hilarious. He/she just sounds so unenthusiastic haha |

 |
| I hope the good news is that Kakushi is alive and bad news is something trivial like he retired or something T_T I have an enormous urge to click all those spoilers above but I'm scared. Better leave this page before I give in to my curiosity lol |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| That was a good episode:3 Ms Rokujou looks so young with long hair!And with that dress she looked like a little fairy *w* |
tysm iva-🐢💜 |
| "I have some good news and some bad news." Literally how I feel every episode. Wholesome episodes, but the last 30 secs make you question life. I'm putting my foot down and saying Goto has to be alive... I believe!!! |
| This show always makes me feel so good every time i watch it. Also really can't bring myself to ever skip the OP, it's so good. YES at that Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei!! Still don't knonw what to think of the ending, what really is going on but we'll see. |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| Who thought it would be a good idea to get a man to voice a dog? The man's not even close to being decent at his job. Is it hard to get a dog's barking sound recorded? The thing about assistants' drawings looking like their master's really made me think. |
| the cliffhanger when the girls are having a reunion and ichiko appears wowow - what's the news though? and how is she still connected to all of this when goto is dead and what she's not hime's teacher hmm |
| "And I think nothing incomplete can be called a masterpiece ! No matter how popular it is, any manga series that gets left hanging is nothing more than garbage !" oof, shots fired |
| so this anime's story is progressing 30 seconds at time in the end of each episode |
| I'm kept away from my dog cause of the quarentine so this episode kind of fucked me up, but this was still so wholesome regardless. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Ouch, it hurt to hear those mothers gossiping about you can't take care of a dog without a mother and our little Hime-chan overhears them... I thought Kakushi's assistant drew an imaginary painting of Hime and an imaginary dog, but it turns out it was her mother? Hime's the exact image of her... This episode's second title really fit since both stories had the theme of something connecting Hime and her mother. First, the dog. It's so sweet that the dog Hime now has is the great-grandchild of the dog her mother took care of when she was little! And then there's also the piano. Without knowing further, I can't say that her grandfather is a bad person because even Kakushi said he wouldn't want Hime to marry someone like him. So it was sweet too to see Hime playing the piano, knowing that her mother was gifted at it. Another thing connecting them both. And a sweet little final: her cooking. Hime's friends have grown up, huh. I don't recognise all of them. There were four, but so far in the past time she only had three friends? Maybe she'll get a new friend. Ichiko-sensei looks so different though. I wonder what the good and bad news are... |
 |
| i wonder what the grandfather did to make Kakushi mad at him |
 |
| This is definitely my favorite episode so far, that cliffhanger though oof. |
 |
| No idea why post-timeskip Ichiko-sensei looks so "dead inside" but I gotta say I find her way cuter with short hair. Anyways, another wholesome episode. The dog's introduction made it way cuter than usual but now, I'm curious about what Hime's grandfather did in order to gain such hatred from Kakushi. Just curious but did you know you can post images here through Imgur instead of posting a link? |
| Owning a dog is Hime's idea, and WTH is the Dogs' Ten Commandments!? HAHA LOLS! It's not simple owning a pet, and the terminologies that pets and manga share, are the same...that Goto-sensei started having parallel thoughts. I don't blame him though...mangakas DO need some love too amidst heavy pressure to deliver :) Just as Kakushi's about to cave into buying a pet, the intricacies of others owning a pet pushed him back tremendously, as much as Hime and the other mangakas of Goto-sensei's circle were anticipating TOO MUCH. For the sake of Hime, a dog! MUST! BE! BOUGHT! And just nice, "Naoto Date" (a.k.a Hime's grandfather) brings one to Kakushi. "The Fourth (Generation)" huh, what a name. And if that's not enough, her grandfather really delivered a piano, that's part of the "inheritance" with The Fourth. That's quite a lot for a mother's legacy down to children. The picture of Hime's mom and the 1st gen dog, Tomaruin still makes all the wrong choices, but the constant joker he is always gets laughs. And...back to the present day with Hime's friends and Ichiko-sensei all grown up..."Good news and bad news"...what could these mean? |
 |
| Haha I saw that Zetsubou Sensei reference, don’t hide from me Also damn, Ichiko-sensei aged down! What a glo-up |
 |
| Hime finally gets a dog yey, and to add on the list of stuff she inherited from her mother's. Damn more characters are being shown in the present day, Ichiko-sensei look really feminine now |
