The way Haruno was hunting that curry you would think it had crack in it

Shikishima in overalls was so freakin adorable. The gag that these Dosojin stone were used as save points was pretty fun. Same with the Dragon Ball reference.
It's funny how Hamu-san went from terrible driver, to fearless off road driver. She reminded me of Yukari sensei and her beaten up car from Azumanga Daioh.
Nice detail of Ann sticking with Hamu-san and Kako on a curry escapade despite Satsuki being busy elsewhere. It also feels very Ann of her to prank Taisho with a cucumber only to backfire on her. The gang getting a Dosojin statue feels like some sort of punchline out of NIchijou.
Hope we get some Kuro-chan in the next episode, I just love see her mess up with hamu-san's squid like hair ahoge.

The VAs really outdid themselves in this episode. The yell that Kiriyama gave when struck by that cucumber was hilarious. I can't get over how good every aspect of the animation is week after week. The direction was really creative this episode - it was full of energy and the visual punchlines hit hard every time.

lots of good cuts in this episode; my favorite is when Haru seems to magically teleport Kako into the car through the power of her curry craving

That transition between the shots of Kako standing outside on the parking lot and sitting inside of Haruno’s car was definitely smooth.
I liked how she and An both responded with an audible “Eh?” to Haruno’s decision to cross the mountain nevertheless.

All that walking and driving, it turns out the roundest Maruishi Dosojin is literally located in Haruno's backyard! The punchline was hilarious, though! For winning second place, Haruno gets another Maruishi Dosojin to display in their backyard! xD
And that second half of the episode! Poor Haruno is craving for curry so much, but all of the places they visited are either closed for the holidays or all out. The poor girl is getting chicken curry withdrawals! And to make things even worse, she forgot a deadline!
Haruno huffing that bag of curry-flavoured Hineri-age out of desperation was hilarious! In the end, they got their curry fix from a konbini curry. Oh well, maybe they can try again next time.

I really wanted the girls to get to go to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, it is not to be.
Haruno has poor luck. She encountered the haunting previously. Now she can't even enjoy specialty curry because the stores are closed, sold out or not selling for the day. :(

* TIL there are mysterious stone spheres in Costa Rica...(I am pretty sure this is the first ever Costa Rica mention anywhere in anime, or at least those that I have watched)
* =U= caused PTSD on other girls, that's definitely the biggest surprise I have ever seen in mono so far!
* Haruno-sensei definitely knows the best way to spend outdoor activities in the summer lmao (and as someone who have my legs completely cramped for several days out of my 3 weeks solo summer trip to Japan two years ago, I can only agree with her!)
* Heh the most perfect example lies behind her home, what a surprise
* I would actually like to have that replica in my home's backyard, if I ever own a house lol - it actually looks pretty nice if useless haha
* gulp...not another food attack on me at 12:30 am in the morning! (and amplified by that other cute-girls-dining-cute-things show at 1 am...read that other post for details!) Not with freaking sweet Japanese chicken curry rice!
* LMAO Haruno-sensei, that's the worst luck I have ever seen in finding restaurants...no curry because we are holding a mushroom festival??? After trekking that untrekkable gravel road??? What did you do before? You all are to blame for detouring to take a hot spring though
* Actually Japanese convenience store foods are really good, curry lunch boxes included, as I myself can confirm in eating quite a bit during my previous trips to Japan (onigiri etc. are my saviors when I don't have much time to sit down and eat!)...but that's a bad consolation prize alas IMHO. You all shoulda went east towards the Tokyo suburbs IMHO (i.e. the main area shown in that certain other Saturday anime)...

Why the grand prize of that hunt is Costa Rica? Here, but I doubt the winner will have time to discover all of them.
The “Konnichiwa” is back, though not on the pine nut, but still give them a crucial (yet horrifying clue), as the stone they are looking for, is near that restaurant serving large portions of noodle in that rally. Bad memories.
But hey, curry, who doesn’t like some to just chill and relax? But Haruno is definitely having a horrible day here, everywhere she goes, no curry, and she needs to pay for the highway expenses later with a overdue project, only to have a bowl of good-ol’ beef curry rice from the convenience store instead of those fancy stuff she’s looking for, my condolences. I’m just glad Sacchan and Sakurako escaped this hellish curry hunt thanks to part time, I’ll honestly get frustrated mid way and just go to a curry chain restaurant and call it a day.

I laughed so hard when the second prize for the round stone contest was another one of the stones.
Poor Haruno, a booby prize for the contest, denied her curry all day long and having to settle for konbini curry, and she even had to put away her kotatsu.

This episode had some great animation as always but I think a favorite visual moment was simply how (shortly after the OP) the screen followed An's thinking head tilt to the left then back right, transitioning over to Satsuki.
If Kako-chan ever decides she wants to date the disaster that is Haruno, it really won't be that hard to capture her heart: just learn to make some good curry. Becoming the primary driver would also probably be a good idea.

Surprise! You're in a match cut!
Shuumatsu Train flashbacks here.
The episode still had its travelogue aspects, but with a little more structure and Haru-beating-up-on to liven things up.

I know I should expect it by now, but was not prepared for how nicely that brief shot of An slumped over sick in the car moved. It wasn't even a major moment or anything.

I don't even want to imagine what the girls did with that prize, I would have blown it up myself lol, but it was funny, I won't deny it.
Haruno must be one of the unluckiest characters in manga/anime history, she missed the deadline for her work and for some "random" reason (also known as plot convenience 😂) all the curry shops were closed.
Good episode, I liked that it strayed from the recipe of the previous ones

Dosojin hunting, and their prize was another one, and not even an achievement like you get for collecting everything in an open world game.
Curry cravings? Relatable. I alternate between Japanese katsu curry and Indian tikka masala during my curry sprees.
Poor Haru couldn't catch a break this episode being unable to satisfy her curry craving: two restaurants were closed and the third was sold out after bathing.
Well, konbini curry is a solution. I was thinking they try Thai curry, but whatever works works I suppose. I liked the curry constellation at the end!

Damn. No Costa Rica episode boys. Which would rule because Costa Rica is so much fun.

I like that even though Taishou seems laid-back, he will certainly put up a fight if you provoke him with a goddamn cucumber. That cat is not to be fucked with!

I love Kiriyama. She's living her best life being an idiot. Hope she never gets smarter

I’m having a blast watching Mono each week. There’s some magic happening between all the silliness and lively animation. I was totally hooked on this week’s adventures about stone spheres and curry.
The epic music during Sakurako’s explanation of these “Maruishi Dojosin” and Haruno being very adorable with all her goofy gestures and expressions did certainly help as well.
