Hanamaru Kindergarten (はなまる幼稚園) Episode 9 Thoughts

Hiiragi HanamaruSNAPSHOT OF THE EPISODE


Hanamaru Kindergarten
"Hanamaru Gift"
Part A: This section mainly focused on Hanamaru-sensei, who is the creator of "Panda-neko" and Mayumi, Yamamoto-sensei's younger sister. From the start, it seems Hanamaru-sensei has a crush on Mayumi. To make things worse, he has a 'creator's block'. With these two things in his mind... he is feeling a little depressed.

Mayumi Yamamoto
But not to worry, because here comes Mayumi to the rescue! She works for a company who publishes Hanamaru-sensei's work, and convinces her boss to give him an extension for his deadline. She does everything she can to help Hanamaru-sensei find inspiration for his work. In the end he gets inspired again and finds the courage to ask Mayumi out for a movie.

Anzu Hanamaru
We also get a glimpse of Tsuchida and Nanako (Yamamoto-sensei) spending time together. Yamamoto offers Tsuchida for a special dinner but due to a certain circumstance, it was canceled. In the end, we find out that Mayumi and Nanako are actually very alike when it comes to male intentions. ^^;

Hanamaru Youchien
"Hanamaru Dream"
Part B: This section focused on everyone's aspirations and dreams. Of course, Anzu's dream is to be a housewife of Tsuchida. Koume cannot make up her mind between being a cake decorator, florist, working at a stuffed animal store, and being a bride. And Hii-chan's dream is an overachiever as usual. Hehe.

The teachers also explain why they became a teacher: Tsuchida, of course, dreamed of a female teacher harem. Yamamoto was inspired by her former kindergarten teacher. Kawashiro joined because her height would be less noticeable around small kids. Kusano joined to train kids to grow up 'physically' fit, since she has some fascination with 'macho' guys. ^^;

Kusano sensei
"Hanamaru Night"
Kusano-sensei invites Tsuchida to her place... but for what? Tsuchida starts getting nervous wondering what this is all about. At first he thought that maybe she invited him for a one-night stand or something... but it can't possibly be! They finally arrive at her place and they head inside.

Kusano sensei
It turns out that Kusano invited Tsuchida to watch "Conan the Barbarian" together. ^^;; I guess she is into 'macho' flicks and none of the other teachers are interested into that kind of thing, except for maybe Tsuchida. This goes to show that nobody is quite normal in this show.


Thoughts?
This episode wasn't anything spectacular but I enjoyed it as usual. The good stuff is when the show focuses on the main-3, but at the same time, it is nice to get a look into other characters. My main complaint for this episode would have to be that Kusano-sensei's part was a bit short. That's too bad because I actually like her personality. Hanamaru-sensei and Mayumi's bit was on the neutral side, but I think they would make a cute couple. I'm also beginning to think Tsuchida actually has a chance with Yamamoto-sensei now. The next episode is supposedly about Tsuchida's 'confession' so I'm highly excited to find out the result!
