Seto no Hanayome - 20
That is SO not moe.
Summary:
After looking through the field trip pictures, Nagasumi and San find a depressed Luna in the classroom. While suffering from her abuse, Nagasumi discovers Luna’s father outside. He asks Nagasumi what he should do to make Luna happy, but Nagasumi tells him that Luna is doing well and that he doesn’t need money to make her happy. Nagasumi tries to convince him to have skinship with Luna, but she throws him out of the school after discovering him. While researching how to get closer to his daughter, Luna’s father discovers galge through a search engine. The next day on the way to school, Luna and the others witness the horrifying sight of her father in a female school uniform. The madness continues when everyone else sees this at school, including Gouzaburou. However, after learning what he is doing this for, Gouzaburou decides to try as well. Gouzaburou seeks out Masa and Fujishiro to help him play a galge, right after they have had a conversation about his orders being absolute. That night, the three try their hardest to play a galge. Nagasumi wakes to the shocking sight of Masa calling him onii-chan. Gouzaburou and Luna’s father are also out of their mind, as they chase their daughters to the school rooftop. Ren eventually appears to set things straight, telling the two that they do not need to do things like that to reach their daughters. Coming to realization, the two apologize to San and Luna. Gouzaburou puts the neko mimi he was wearing on San’s head, which makes her embarrassed for the rest of the day. However, she seems to have taken a secret liking for the cosplay when she gets home.
Preview: Valentines day episode?
Impression:
Seto no Hanayome is the funniest love comedy of the spring AND summer seasons, hands down. I wasn’t expecting an episode like this at all, so the galge references seemed to come out of nowhere. The funny thing is, they got all of the stereotypes right on the dot. I remember thinking “uguu~” when I saw Gouzaburou with the taiyaki….then he ACTUALLY SAID IT! Oh man, I am still laughing. The fun continued with the hilarious skit at the end of the episode, and San’s adventure home mirrored those of h-game adaption/harem anime. If they had a full episode of San and Luna cosplaying instead of their parents, I wouldn’t complain at all. I also love how Nagasumi calls Luna’s dad “Luna-chan no papa” and Ren “San-chan no kasan”. Despite all the ridiculousness, we got a bit of development with Luna’s father, and I could empathize with Luna losing her mother. Watching her go tsuntsun for Nagasumi’s mom was so cute. It looks like the other side of Iinchou will appear again in the next episode, and Ren will be looking pretty hot.

This episode was epic, to say the least.
This episode left me in stitches, i laughed so much.
From Nagasumi calling Edomae “Luna-chan no Papa” to Maki encouraging Masa-san (or should i call him Masa-chan this episode?) to the over the top moe of San-chan with a nekomimi.
I doubt that they could top this episode in terms of humor, but heres hoping.
PS: i also thought about the Uguu when i saw the taiyaki and could help but laugh out when Gou-chan said it.(or is it calle takoyaki)
( x
This was one of the best episode. The best love comedy i ever seen.lol
Well said…this is definitely the best laugh out loud comedy of the season…San and Luna’s reactions was hysterical, and San’s father’s uguu~ was priceless. Just when I think they’ve got to be starting to run out of ideas, they come up with a gut-busting funny episode like this…it’s sad thinking that this is going to be over soon
Dularc > “Oni-chan~” Oh god my eyes x)
Sniper > I almost called this the best episode yet, but I think some of the earlier episodes might actually top it in terms of shear awesomeness.
suguru > The thing I love most about this show is its ability to surprised me. I am quite sad that it will be ending as well :(.
Another LOL episode. All the blames goes to that dread perverted search engine, but because of it the fun starts.
With the end is near, I’m gonna miss San’s ultra cute voice. Well, there’s always last hope called a sequel.
OMG O_o
this is one of the best ep. i have seen
i can’t believe the mangaka have an idea about this ep. XD
i hope there’s gonna be a sequeal from this anime, since it was pure awesome T_T
An > Search engines must be used properly…or bad things will happen xD.
D-One > There have been a lot of times where I have had no idea what the writers were thinking…
I doubt there will be a sequel because of the nature of this show. We’ll just have to enjoy the 26 episodes we get :S
I roll around laughing entire ep. Damn good
nice of you blogging the show.
this episode was definitely one of the best so far. i laughed thru the entire way, it’s simply great. i hope my dad never dresses so “Moe” just to understand me LOL
To Totali:
There could be a second season of Seto No Hanayome, considering that they are still in middle school, they could make it a high school version, perhaps throwing in a normal Yakuza daughter “minus fishtail”. If it would be as good is another story all together.
davwon > I almost fell out of my chair x)
Julio > Have been since episode one
SsK > I’ll have to quote San on that one and say “If my dad did that I would die”.
Dularc > Ehhh…love comedies don’t tend to make it past what they’re scheduled for. It’s just how it works. The only one I’ve seen so far that is going further is Hayate no Gotoku at 52 eps….and that just sounds ridiculous to me. Besides, your sequel idea sounds like a stretch xD
BTW everyone should know by now that the “Dan Dan Dan” single came out around the same time this episode did. I completely forgot to mention it. It’s pretty catchy ;P
