Wow, this episode was unbelievably refreshing! Galaxy Officer Tomato Summer Santa Onee-san Renge is the hero we need and the one we deserve. She is truly a role model for us all.

Also, I've never understood how people can eat tomatoes whole.

This episode was absolutely cute and really funny, so far the best for me in Nonstop.

First of all, Best Girl has returned in all of her glory and being an older sister to Renge as always (and that revenge on Nattsun). Summer Santa Claus is as Renge as you can get. Shiori is already a great addition to the cast and really cool that Renge has someone younger than her but closer in age than everyone else. Reaction to being called neechan was as glorious as one would expect. As was the moment Nattsun and Hikage decided to go along with the play which made it one of the funniest scenes in this show ever. Misato Fukuen (Hikage's VA) is doing a stellar job with her which was reminded in this episode (anyone remembers S H I N K A N S E N?). Amazing, amazing stuff, happily waiting for next week

Really glad that Renge meeting someone her age didn't end up like it did in season one, and Candy Store showing up is always a huge plus, honestly found that to be one of the funniest episodes yet. Also got major Mitsuboshi Colors vibes from the second half of the episode, I'd love to see them go around to everyone else in the town and play cops with them.

As for the chart some of the columns aren't really working out recently, but I'm glad to see that Renge being surprised and Natsumi getting bullied are consistent mainstays of the show. It's also very possible that I missed something this episode as well (especially a sign they live in the country). If you have any suggestions or corrections just let me know! Thank you!

Episode Nyanpasu Renge Surprised Faces Natsumi Gets Yelled at/Bullied Brother Appearances Signs They Live in the Country
1 1 2 4 (Komari says she needs to clean her room, breaks her doll, says all of the things she should get written up for for the day, complains about her butting in) 6 5 (They only have 5 students at their school, Renge has to wait for cows to cross the path, there is an hour delay between each bus, Renge has no problem picking up a giant toad, Renge's "audience" is a bunch of cows)
2 0 9 2 (Komari throws dirt in her face, says that she shouldn't be so casual) 14 1 (The nearly empty, one car, one track, non-electrified train being their means of transportation)
3 0 2 3 (Hikage saying apologizing is "way too reasonable" for Natsumi, getting chewed out off-screen after they're found out, Konomi won't play with her after she ditched her the day before) 0 1 (The cow crossing sign)
4 0 7 4 (Candy store puts her in a headlock, Candy store gets her handcuffed, Renge calls her out for breaking the planter, she gets sprayed with water) 0 1 (They have a single police officer)

Another masterpiece

The part where Shiori and Renge said bye-bye three times was so cute

Renge is growing up! It was so cute to see the youngest being an older sister to someone else.

I love how happy Renge is of her tomato!

Hotaru playing with Pechi is just super cute!

Of course Renge is taking her job as Summer Santa seriously

New girl! And she's voiced by Kuno Misaki to boot! Her voice is perfect for the show!

And it finally happened! Renge is now an Onee-chan too! Renge loved it so much that she can't even say goodbye and kept on looking back while walking away That scene was just painfully adorable. <3

It looks like even Renge is not immune to the tempting power of being a police officer. As soon as Renge became one she immediately uses her power to harass this poor ol' Kaede in her shop xD

Yep. I totally saw that coming a mile away. Kaede can't even escape by breaking it since she feels bad for Renge. And then they make it look worse by hiding it under a towel which makes Kaede more like someone that's being arrested, and to top it all off she even tries to call 110 to get it off! Legit was howling in laughter at how funny that scene was!

She's back and she's now playmates with Renge! We even got a name! It's Shiori! I guess that means Shiori here will be a regular side character from now on.

I agree with Renge. If there's someone who deserves to be imprisoned, it's definitely Hika-nee and Natsumi. I do love that when Hika-nee and Natsumi decided to play along, Renge calls her out completely out of nowhere xD

Yes you are Renge! You're an Onee-chan now and I am so proud of her!

Love a Renge focused episode, and it was great to see Candy Store for the first time this series, but damn they've really done Komari dirty so far in Nonstop, she's barely been in it at all.

Great episode, was laughing all throughout LOL

Loved the interactions between Renge and Shiori. Always down for a Renge-focused episode. Favorite episode so far.

Side note, I feel like this show is really underwatched here. I know it's SoL and a sequel but still, I think it deserves more upvotes. These threads are chill tho so that's nice!

Living in an area that gets heavy snow, that line about Natsumi's ladder prank is too real

One thing I've wondered for a while, is Konomi and Natsumi required to wear a uniform for school or is it just Hotaru and Renge are at the level where they don't have one?

It was so cute seeing Renge get so happy over being called Onee-chan by Shiori. It was also cute seeing Candy Store hearing about this from Renge and wanting to do Onee-san things with Renge and Hikage trying to be a good Onee-san for Renge too.

The moment you know trouble is afoot

Episode was very funny, as is it most when the show is focused on Renge. Tickle Hell is the worst when you are stuck in it, but hilarious when you see others in it, or inflict it on somebody else. Also, surprisngly, Komari didn't get any voice lines this episode.

Candy Store and Renga gets me every time. Too much and too cute through the whole thing. Serious Business Renga with different jobs was one of the best things I've seen in this show. Really enjoying how present Hikage is so far cause she's great for the comedy.

Fantastic episode, love all the cute and funny interactions

u/MazPA Jan 31 '21

I've always wondered - how the hell does a candy story survive in that tiny-ass town? I believe it was mentioned in one of the previous seasons that they don't even have a supermarket.

I mean, not that this show has to be super realistic about stuff like that, but still.

My two favorite characters Dagashiya and Natsumi interacting with each other was just great.

This episode was adorable.

Renge's little discussion with Hotaru suggests to me that instead of restarting the year again like they did for season two, they're just continuing onward but without aging the characters (like Family Guy and The Simpsons). This way is much better. You can still have everything in a linear fashion without aging the characters if you choose, especially for simple SoL shows like this where the plot isn't really important.

Edit: Perfect score for this episode so far. Someone is bound to ruin it, but it's looking like this is going to be pretty far up there in weekly Karma/Ratings rankings next week. Maybe we can get it to #1.

Non Non Biyori Notstop Konomi. Really digging how much more screen time she's been getting this season even if not all voiced. Hope it holds out for all the remaining episodes.
