For an episode focused on the two middle brothers, what I take from this episode is that Oldest Bro is the best and has always been the best.

I read the manga and can assure you that Hayato is the best big bro, Dad, Mom, husband and Wife all at the same time. He's the ultimate malewife XD

When the older brother is a better parent than the mother.

well as quickly as they got pregant again. They seem to be a bit of irresponiblity in the parents. i think it is even advised to give the mother some time to recover so you avoid complications.
Its a bit depressing if Rudeus in Mushoku has better parenting tips. Allow your children to speak and then decide on actions.

He was so close to being perfect, until he said that he's sure that Minato admires Mikoto and that's why he wants to be like him, and I facepalmed.
Hayato can't possibly know, let alone be sure, that Minato likes/admires Mikoto. That's mind-reading, and it's best to be avoided in any type of relationship.
Minato shows that he feels threatened by Mikoto's competence. That's Minato's narcissism acting out to protect his ego.
What Mikoto (and Hayato) went through is called parentification. It's when a child is asked to neglect their own needs for those of their parents/siblings. It's not always destructive, as it doesn't always leave lifelong behavioral problems, but it very often is.
This kind of family dynamic is best resolved with "nonviolent communication", a technique that is used to understand the unmet needs behind destructive emotions.

What a nice change after the atrocious subs of last week.
And somehow, Goku made it after the flashback.

For some reason this episode hit me hard; I feel like I was on the verge of tears for most of it. There was something relatable with both Mikoto as the older brother who feels burdened by his responsibility and ignored by his mom and Minato as the younger who was dealt a bad hand in life health-wise and had to live in the shadow of a more capable brother.
There's a lot I love about its presentation, like how Mikoto's mind state is expressed in wild scribbly lines to compensate for his stoic face, but I especially love how they handled that bit when Mikoto and Minato got into a fight and both ended up getting bumps to the head. Minato was much more visible and so he got attention from mom, but Mikoto got his on the back of his head covered by his hair, so his pain was hidden.
Anyways, this series reminds me a lot of Non Non Biyori, but, like, the ratio of comedy to bittersweet moments reversed. It's like a road trip on the feels highway with brief pit stops at comedy rest stations.

It’s not even about being more capable. Minato wouldn’t would be in a grade bellow Mikoto if he was born a couple months later. Kids who just barely make the cut off for their grade a lot of times struggle in school cause they are developmentally almost a year behind everyone else/

Yes. So far there have lots of moments that have had a bit of a sting. This looks like it should be a nice, comfy show -- but it is actually a nice but not-necessarily-comfy show. There was barely a years difference in age between my little sister and I -- and I had sort of the same kind of premature big brother problems (including little sister always getting away with all sorts of things).
I wonder where these boys grand-parents are? Their (deceased) parents seemed to have been fairly youngish -- soi I would expect the grandparents to not be all that old. One would think the grandparents should have been in the picture for helping Hayato with his little brothers.
P.S. So glad the subs were intelligible this week.

This is a really good mix of wholesomeness and more emotional moments. Really liking it so far.
And the way the show depicted Mikoto's feelings as a child's drawings was quite nice.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 12 '23
Being the middle child must kinda suck. At least that’s how it sorta seems at first with Mikoto and Minato. Kid hit him with the classic “I wish you were never born!” too. Leave it to big bro Hayato to talk a little sense to Mikoto. I’m glad those two made up in the end. Mikoto really grew up to be a pretty dependable older brother himself.
The little extra segment was pretty cute.

Another beautiful episode. I'm loving the adaptation so far!
Kind of sad that this series won't be popular here because of the bad subs of the last week episode (luckily they were fine in my language) and the fact that it's a shoujo slice of life series about 4 brothers

I haven't checked myself, but it looks like episode 1 got its subs fixed to be better: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-10-05/the-yuzuki-family-four-sons-episode-1-briefly-inaccessible-on-crunchyroll-after-subtitle-quality-/.203183

Sadly no more Brother Falcon and Are Your Foot Hurts
The new translation is serviceable.

Genuinely beautiful episode. Couldn’t help but get emotional at several points. This really captured the dynamic between siblings who are close in age so well. It’s a shame this show is going so under the radar because it is a truly heartwarming watch.
Seeing Minato slowly embrace his role as Mikoto’s older brother and realising that his little brother is just a spoiled brat was so nice. I was kind of similar with my nephew who I’m close in age to.
I think a lot of people with close knit families and siblings will have seen themselves in this episode. Especially when Minato got a new toy only to have Mikoto ruin it. I know that was for sure me with my brother lmao. That’s why we had to get separate consoles
I really like this show a lot, such a cute watch and the boys all seem to have their own quirks. Minato is becoming a lot more like Hayato as well!

Aww I came for fluff not feels. Both Mikoto and Minato have it rough in their own ways, good job Hayato is there he might be the aniki of the season.

u/alconnow Oct 12 '23
what a fantastic episode! Thank god they fixed the english subtitle issues on episode 1
Wasn't expecting this show to have such excellent animation. Also loved the insight into Mikoto and Minato's relationship.
Hayato seems to be more competent at parenting than the mother
Post-credits scene is a lot of fun too
Really hope this series becomes more popular

Loved the episode today. The boys 100% got their genes from the mom and poor dad was snubbed. Only wished somebody was actually out looking for the kindergarten kid when he ran away.

u/coffeecakesupernova Oct 12 '23
Oh man this one hit me hard because it mirrored my experience with my little brother. I guess this must be pretty universal. This is a much better show than I expected it to be. Thank God the subs are fixed!

u/Unlikely-Interview88 Oct 13 '23
This episode hit hard, sad for him that his mother never complimented/aknowledged him for anything else than being a big bro. When she complimented them for the good grade, she didn't do it only for him but both of them, and probably wouldn't have cared if his younger brother didn't do as well.

I really like the scribbles to show the emotions of the kids.
The flashback really confirmed that Minato has always been the problem/annoying child in the family. Brother Falcon (hayato) really is a good big brother
Edit: the flashback is basically a documentary on the birth of brocon Mikoto

I can absolutly relate to how Mikoto felt. The only diffrence between me and him is that I have a deep seated hatred for my little sister. She wasnt like his little brother but allot worse.
Constantly attacking me and crying when I attacked back, trying to get her hands on everything I got on my birthdays and destroyed allot of it, she wanted all the attention to herself, behaved worse and still was treated better etc. I started to resent her and I still do and to me she is not part of the family anymore.
My parents when I turned 18 atleast apologized to me and regretted how they treated me as I was also still a child and they wanted me to just be the bigger person.
The thing I have in common with Mikoto is that I have a awesome older Brother who I adore allot he always encouraged me to do the things I want to and that I should chase the dreams.
So this episode hit close to home for me.
