So... Karada-chan had became an adult and Shouko-san had became a child. They'll be having to work together in order to continue surviving. Meanwhile Shouko was lucky to have Karada who is good in cooking, Karada was also lucky to have someone to actually take care of her. No matter how you look at her, Karada is still a child, inside.Karada's Hiro-nii is a pharmacist. I couldn't have thought of a better job for someone like him. In anyways, he should get a haircut. He looks much cooler in America when he was dating Shouko with his neat short hair. Again, I had never thought that he had went to study pharmacy in America. Does this mean that Shouko is also a pharmacy graduate like Hiro? Wait again. What if Hiro's only a part-timer in the pharmacy he was working in? I would never know.Uh... ribbons. :(Shouko opens the door. Shouko sees Hiro, her ex-boyfriend."Who is the untalented, good-for-nothing boyfriend your sister is talking about?"Wait...!So, episode three mainly revolved around Shouko and Hiro, who had found his way to Shouko's apartment. Hiro had figured that Shouko might know something about his missing sister. Meanwhile Hiro had no idea that the little girl with Karada's ribbons on is Shouko, Shouko had been hinting Hiro that she was indeed Shouko. She even attacked Hiro by saying that Hiro is an untalented, good-for-nothing boyfriend, while Hiro absent-mindedly thought that Shouko was talking about someone else.Hiro and Shouko in the earlier days in America before Karada's real parents passed away.The letter Hiro wrote to Shouko, telling her that he shall not go back to America to look after his little sister.Hiro and Shouko in bed..."Is this porn?" my 13 year old brother asked when he took a look at the computer when I was watching Asatte no Houkou. At that moment, I looked like a pervert to him. Well... Asatte no Houkou is definitely NOT porn or hentai, it's just that he saw the part where Shouko was talking about her past with Hiro in America, and the scene ended up... in bed. Arrgh.

I'm not sure what I find so captivating about this anime, maybe it's the slice of life, or maybe the situation they're going through. I don't really know, but whatever it is they should keep doing it. Watching Asatte no Houkou is like a breath of fresh air in between all the dark and sinister animes or the mindless harems floating around this season.

Impressions: Asatte no Houkou has now become one of my favourites this season (I haven’t said that before, have I?) There was quite a less than noticeable quality drop, but since the mood of the story changed for a much more light-hearted one, I found myself enjoying the episode more than the first two. However, I [...]

In all aspects, this episode was highly entertaining. While I was not bawling with laughter like I would while watching Muteki or Keroro, I was amused a number of times this episode. Physically Shouko is indistinguishable from an average kid, except maybe for the specs and her constant pissed off look. Similarly Karada looks like a [...]

Shoukou is reviving her childhood. Still, she is hell cute in kid form. The third episode deals with Shoukou and how she is adapting to the whole situation of turning into a kid. We see less of Karada this episode as it is a Shoukou-centric section, with flashbacks and memories of Hiro and the likes. [...]

The episode starts out surprisingly light, when compared with the previous one. It features Karada and Shoko shopping for the things they need. Shoko needs a new pair of glasses, and both of them need new clothes, as their sizes aren’t the same to wear each other’s clothes without any problems. Especially Shoko was so [...]
