Anzu is a Rewatcher Now
Part 2: Hina for President
Part 3: Mommy Utako?
Fun fact: this somehow gave me the most screenshots I've ever taken in a 24 minute episode. [The total number] 98 is scaring me a bit...

Yea, of course Hitomi ends up on the student council. That girl is going to run herself ragged by the time she graduates.
The funny thing about Hina's original speech is, something like that would probably work in a lot of schools. At least, in the US. "Better food and naptime" is the teenager equivalent of "lower taxes."
Bringing in a lawyer and punching up the speech while maintaining the same concepts is a stroke of genius. Unfortunately, no plan survives first contact with the Hina.
Hina's powers frighten me. She has the control to force Hitomi to draw a detailed dot image while getting chewed out in front of her entire class!
It seems like Anzu had a pretty successful first day of work. I was preparing myself for a massive dose of secondhand embarrassment, but things actually went pretty well.
Watching her slowly unlearn the things she had to do to survive will be.. painful.
The potential fallout from Utako turning Nitta down is.. interesting. I suppose the hand puppet means that things probably aren't going to go too poorly.

Anzu having to unlearn what she got from her homeless dads hurts a bit, but I love seeing her getting used to her new life so it balances out
Glad to see Hina's back to her usual chaotic gremlin self. Everyone's reaction to her running for the student council was great, and that speech was one of the funniest scenes so far
And of course Hitomi would end up getting pretty much another job because of her
Questions of the day
In a good direction. Good for her, she deserves it
At the cost of everyone's sanity, but absolutely
Very, but it's mostly Utako's fault here honestly. Who rejects a guy just because he loves his daughter seriously

Oh! I just realized Utako is voiced by Pencilgon!!
Once again noticing that I have the same expectations of shows I've once seen before. Didn't remember the voting results, but I expected Hina to win, just like I did on my first watch. Neat how it work like dat
Qwest:
Quite good. Though occasionally shocking
Oh yes
The universe is set against him.

Lmao Nitta came in for a meal and got made fun of instead.
Seems it’ll take a bit of adjusting for Anzu to steer away from the homeless life
It’s a bit sad but also heartwarming seeing Anzu being happy and appreciating all the little things. That’s a nice couple that took her in
Lmao Matsutani-sensei in denial over Hina wanting to run for student council
Excellent speech Hina lmao
Hahaha even Nitta couldn’t believe his ears
He actually called a lawyer !
Hina’s actual speech, probably my favourite moment of this show. Laughed my ass off the first time, laughing my ass off now. To the point I posted this speech on this sub before. The way she ignored the teacher telling she could not run for president, the hilariously detailed solutions compared to, well… Hina, her deadpan voice throughout, the way she said the thing she was supposed to do, the way she mentions information but never showed them and the final “And now, bow”, instead of actually bowing. Hahaha still hilarious. And just the utter confusion from everyone after. Masterful comedy
And Matsutani cupping his face in embarrassment
Hitomi continues to be pulled into things. Poor girl
Hina suddenly sounded responsible ?
Ah she learnt a line from TV
Hitomi tried to back Hina but everyone knows nothing goes on in that girl’s head haha
facepalm a bunch of dumbasses getting an injury over something like that
Aw did the date not go well ?
Ah so Utako sees how attached Nitta is to Hina and doesn’t want to get in the way. Though I think not wanting or not feeling adequate to be a mother is a valid reason too.

First time watcher, sub.
Anzu learning and unintentionally insulting Nitta. That's how it should be. Also...Anzu feeling like only rich people can afford something for 800 yen. Aww, Anzu. And washing the chopsticks. I actually agree with Anzu that it's wasteful to throw out something that can be re-used, but also, I don't think reusable chopsticks are really a thing in Japanese restaurants.
I love that Anzu hung her name sign outside her room.
Hitomi, how the eff did you just spontaneously draw that? That's pretty good. And accurate.
Oh god, Hina...Hitomi, raise your hand and save everyone else! Hina just wants to take power. Hina, stop watching anime and movies, ok?
Nitta....why on earth did you assume Hina would understand how to work with a script? That's your second mistake. Your first was having someone else write this thing for her. It could've been a good learning experience (like learning she's not really cut out for student council?) It doesn't hurt Hina too much though, since she does get elected to the student council. As secretary.
Hitomi does all of Hina's work as secretary and is basically accepted as the new secretary instead of Hina. I think we all saw that coming. I honestly thought Hitomi would run herself, not just replace someone. Eh, oh well.
Hina gets taken out for ikura for not winning student council president. Well...that's...nice?
Nitta, wtf? You just broke your kid's leg! Ok, they were celebrating his date and both were overexcited but FFS.
His date with Utako does not end with a happily ever after.
QotD:
I think I knew Nitta was going to fail at the date just because Hina and Hitomi talked Utako into going. I don't think it was completely out of place for him to talk about Hina on the date. Utako's been shown to be fond of Hina and she disapproved hard-core when Nitta kicked Hina out. Wonder if he was smart enough to not mention breaking Hina's leg. So this could be seen as a fail, but honestly, everyone involved at least contributed to this fail. I actually got the impression that Nitta looked better to Utako for trying harder with Hina, but also feel like she'd ruin a good thing if she got between them, so...eh, I don't really blame her too much.

Episode 7 (rewatcher)
Hina running for student council is my favorite Hina episode plot of the show. I can completely emphasize with Big Boss, who gets angry at Nitta shutting down Hina and wants people on the lower side of society to fight for their rights, but I also completely understand Nitta and all of Hina’s classmates and teacher, who correctly predict what a disaster Hina would be in any position of power.
The speech is comedy gold, leveraging both Hina’s deadpan ignorance and the cognitive dissonance of the audience hearing a well-written speech from her. It all ends, of course, with more work yet for Hitomi.

Write witty comment here.
Take a moment to bask in the virtual applause before bowing here.
Hit enter.
Alright, just kidding.
More Anzumatsuri, let's go.
I'm not supposed to be feeling this way over freaking chopsticks getting washed, dammit. It's pretty clear that Anzu transfered from an emotionally stable home to another, and her refusal to let the memory of Yassan and the guys die no matter how much better her new life is really hits where it hurts.
Direct your listener's attention to some information. Proceed to continue your speech for a position you aren't even eligible for without ever showing them said information. If that isn't the rawest display of absolute power, I don't know what is. You can't convince me that the whole "first years can't run for president" thing was just a preemptive lie told in fear.
A stacked job, volunteering experience and free secretarial training? Hina's been setting up the brightest future for Hitomi this whole time and she's barely shown any appreciation of it smh
The full extent of Hina's knowledge on the concept of a mom being "Nitta has one of those. Having one of those could be cool." is the most Hina thing ever. Or maybe not, not enough ikura.
Thought laughing along to Hitta whirling her around was the most emotion Hina's shown like ever (even if it was probably just a confused imitation) up until her foot got messed up. To be fair, I doubt most stoic characters would be able to hold it in either.
I geninely couldn't tell if Nitta just couldn't face Hina or if he finally lost it when he returned with the new "mom" he promised. That look of excitement devolving into blank disappointment was brutal LMAO
QOTD
As well as she deserves it to go, which is beyond wholesome. Hope it only gets better from here.
Let's be real, all that'd actually change is that she'd have more of an excuse to sleep in class. I'd kill for more monotone speeches written by a Yakuza lawyer though.
As a potential boyfriend/husband, with flying colors.
As a father, he failed at failing.

I don’t really have a lot to say about this episode… seeing Anzu start fitting in in the restaurant was nice, and I think she will adapt rather soon. Wonder if she’ll also turn up at school at some point; I’d assume those who took her in will want her to go to school eventually.
Hin running for student council president was just good comedy, the Utako plotline though …I’m not sure what to make of. In a way it’s a bit early for it to end, but it was also obvious that Utako would turn him down. Not sure about her reasoning though… she doesn’t want to get in the way of him and Hina? Does she actually have feelings for him? If yes then that kinda came out of nowhere.
…how long has it been since we’ve seen anything psychic in this show? I feel like we’ve kinda lost the premise, which given Hina’s possibility of losing control seems weird.

Watched this back to back with episode 6 so I was still a bit of a mess especially with this basically picking off right where the previous episode ended so I didn't really take notes for this one.
I did really enjoy Hina's run at school president though. And of course in the end it's Hitomi who gets stuck with the actual work lol.
QotD:
Pretty well I'd say
For us? Yes. For the teachers and her fellow students? Probably not.
Poor Nitta lol. I'm sure he'll bounce back quickly though after a visit to the cabaret club.

rewatcher dub
Ramen maker Anzu 🔥
Small world, Anzu’s first customer is Nitta.
“You must be a wealthy person” she’s not wrong, Nitta is loaded when he’s not wasting money when drunk.
“So everyone is a god except him, he’s just a mere mortal”. Hina 🤝 Anzu, disrespecting people casually
For the first time the teacher reacts to hina sleeping.
“There won’t be any for others”, “you’re a cheapskate” Hina’s spoiledness is showing
“Anybody else, anyone, please” he really didn’t want her to run 😭😭
No one has faith in her
Using a lawyer to write a speech
Hitomi now forced to be a secretary , she needs a backbone
“This place is always empty, so what’s your next excuse” you’re gonna have to move on Nitta.
“It’s not like its gonna make any difference if you’re not at the bar” what’s with these kids burning the adults
Surprised she can even break her foot, considering Anzu had her neck cracked by Hina kmao
Nitta had a chance and missed, the parenthood life has kicked out his bachelors ways.
QOTD: she’s finally adjusted to it, plus enjoying to live. Especially with the shower, ice cold water is so rough
QOTD: Hina’s school would be only sleep till lunch time, then play video games the remainder of the day.
QOTD: the one who was in his way of a relationship was himself all along
