This show always make you so relaxed.

I loved the autumn colors in this episode.

People falling in love with You one by one.

Fuji's father is acting silly every single time, haha.

God I just love how soothing this show is! After last week’s fireworks episode, we’ve transitioned into fall and that means it’s shedding season for our furry friend. I didn’t know some dog breeds went through that, that has to be such a hassle for owners lol. Cute to watch on tv tho!

Business also picking up for Fuji which is great. I always wondered how authors and mangaka collaborate and come up with stories when there’s one person doing the art and another drawing. Luckily the mangaka doesn’t mind Fuji writing whatever she wants to which enables her to be herself and get extra money lol. Love how the mangaka is just completely smitten with our little man and can’t hang up ๐Ÿ˜‚

Speaking of being smitten, he’s got some new admirers today in the two school girls. The look on his face when Fuji just went along and called him a raccoon had me cracking up! Nori is also a fun new character, her “nah I just wanna be a cat” gave me a chuckle. I love how our cast is growing slowly but surely.

Very relaxing episode as per

Braided Girl: It's a racoon!!!
Fuji: Yes, it's a racoon.
Audience: Warmer.....
"Cat" Girl: It's a tanuki!!!
Audience: FINALLY~!!!!! (all celebrating)
Fuji: No, it's a mixed-breed dog.
Audience: (explode into pieces) Back to square one, Fam!!!!!

Note:
(Kid with maracas appeared)
Me: (getting excited) Are we meeting another yokai chara? (as in a Zashiki-Warashi)
(Mom appeared, taking the kid away)
Me: Tch... just an ordinary kid... (visibly disappointed)

Too much comfiness from this anime.

The autumn theme for this episodes fits perfectly and I LOVE it. I don't think I've seen two things work so well together in so long. Sadly, the first person to say that You was a tanuki got manipulated into thinking it was a mix breed dog, very sad, I know. I am very disappointed too. That after credits scene was really odd, poor kid got his maracas taken away because he was too loud.

You's charm even captivates on a video call xD

And doesn't matter whether it's a tanuki, araiguma or a mixed breed dog, it's super adorable anyway. Love this series.

BTW, you guys do realise that the tanuki (or "dog"... definitely a "dog") name is not "You" right? It was a nameless chara.
The series refer to it as "kimi", which means "you" (as in the 2nd person pronoun), which might be why MAL decided to refer to it as "you" in its chara list.

It's not rly that uncommon for anime to having unnamed chara being refered to as just "kimi" (you) or "watashi" (me/I). Another example is Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, it's not like the MC is named "Watashi", she's just an unnamed chara refered to as "watashi" as in the 1st person pronoun.

Just info, in case you're curious. If you already know this, pls do ignore this.

@Marinate1016 Considering how all the characters literally fall in love with You at first sight regardless of personality and situation, I'm starting to feel like his name is a pun or a metaphor, lmao.

@uncleqrow But why did they use an English name then?

I'm used to this show being generally wholesome and laid back, so an episode with so many new quirky characters and gag reactions caught me off guard. Not that I'm complaining, though.

@Marinate1016 One of the few who recognize our tanuki for a tanuki right away. The other nearly having a meltdown over finding out he WASN"T a raccoon (well, not exactly. LOL) was PRICELESS.

Finally this supposedly dog, was called a tanuki, although under Fuji's pressure it became a dog again, in general her interaction with people is the best part.

Hmph, yabeizo

I actually thought that she was a tanuki or bakeneko because of her eyes and teeth, along with the hair, but they probably won't make it that supernatural I imagine

That took a bizarre, and yet still completely mundane, turn at the post-credit scene. Hah!

Very fluffy episode, looking forward to seeing what kind of short story she writes for her obvious fan. That reaction of freaking out when the mangaka got complimented for her earrings was adorably dorky.

Yeah, since it is a raccoon.

Now, the pun is in the homophone of [to wash] and [red rascal/araiguma] lmfao, which unfortunately didn't translated well to other languages. Tbh, Fuji trying to play fool here since You is literally washing the apple (thus ๆด—ใ† vs ใ‚ขใƒฉใ‚คใ‚ฐใƒž) while still thinking You is a dog but built different, but it just a fricking nice pun indeed ๐Ÿ˜‚

And You's face is soo bamboozled with that statement lolz.

Is it a pun though? Jisho tells me that the Japanese for raccoon is literally "washing bear": https://jisho.org/word/%E6%B4%97%E3%81%84%E7%86%8A
Fuji simply referenced the name of the animal.

I didn't know what a raccoon was called, funny name.

@perseii from my perspective, it is. :D
Since Fuji kept calling You a dog, and coincidentally when it's washing (arau) the apple, someone asking if it is a raccon (araiguma), thus the pun.

Oh also I forgot that iirc, the kana form is commonly used than the kanji, so it being homophone (/homonym if we used Kanji) is a pun by itself kek.

I don’t know how I missed Episode 5! It’s rare for me to watch Episode 6 before Episode 5, but with this anime, it doesn’t really matter, right?

The episode sparked debates again about whether that animal is a dog or a raccoon, hahaha! I say it’s a mixed-breed dog…

Fuu, as always, was the highlight of the entire episode! Looking forward to Episode 7, since I’ve already watched and commented on Episode 6.
