“Goodbye Girl (Yamada)”Another Yamada Episode!: Another Yamada episode? Yes please. Honestly, I’m feeling spoiled right now. As a fan, I’m over the moon with the direction and focus of this final season of WORKING!!!, but then I also remember that the reason why I’m loving all these loose ends getting tied up is because the end is coming. We’re just over half way through the season until there’s no more WORKING!!! left, and that depresses me. But thankfully, just like last wee,k we got plenty of Yamada-focus which makes me very, very happy. We have plenty of funny moments here, from Yamada living with the Takanashi family, to her workmates pushing her out the door, to her idiotic brother. But for all the moments of comedy, there were also hints of a darker, more serious backstory. When Yamada started telling her story, you could feel the atmosphere change, as we learned about her dad passing away and her mother forcing her to study a mountain of textbooks. Yamada is a good storyteller it that regard, because right up until the ‘reason’ for her running away, I was sold on this rather tragic backstory (much like Souta and Nazuna). But once we find out she left because her brother ate her natto, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was made even funniest that Souta and Nazuna still felt for despite her shoddy reasons. One thing is for sure, however: she makes a good house pet, Yamada does. Goodbye Yamada?: As far the other serious moments go, the reunion of mother and daughter was a pretty big one. Souta’s attempts at holding a conversation kept it light enough, but it was all building up to a lovely motherly hug. The fact that she actually has a manual to operate/understand her was another hilarious insert, and I definitely want to see more of that in the next few episodes. And just like that, with Yamada and her mother being reunited, we also have Otoo and his wife. Honestly, I expected an entire episode dedicated to them two, but they were tagged on here at the very end. I would have liked more focus on them before they were together again, but perhaps next episode will shed some light on that. As a whole, this was another strong Yamada-centric episode, and sadly, it’s likely to be the last. I just don’t want her to leave altogether! Let her keep the job, no matter how terrible she is at it… please! Overview – What’s Next?: It’s been a while since WORKING!!! has got this serious. As I’ve said before, this season is much more intent on resolving the long-standing plot threads that have been teased over the past two seasons. It’s great to have these resolutions and character arcs feeling complete, even in a situational comedy like WORKING!!! I really liked this episode, but if it’s the beginning of the end of Yamada’s screen time, I’m afraid I’ll be rather disappointed. But I’ll remain hopefully for now, because this season has continued to impress me with each passing episode, and I can’t see that changing now. Preview

I was confused at the start, as episode 6 left us with “Otoo will take responsibility for her”. So how does that translate into Takanashi takes responsibility?
Aoi just moved to Takanashi residence by her own will since Kirio knows already that she is working in Wagnaria (and probably living there). Kyouko said that Otoo will take responsibility for her because she knows that Aoi wants to be adopted by Otoo. I hope i answered it right.
Is it my imagination, or does Yamada’s mom look more rejuvenated in the preview than she was this episode? And is she a ninja??? Cause ninjas need to be quiet.
Yeah
Got to admire the audacity of hiring Kikuko oneesama to voice the least vocal character. Must have been an easy day at the studio voicing Kikuno.
10$ that otoo wife wille disapear before next episode even start :p
Although that would also be funny, I’m erring on the side of “Oh God, please not that again…”
It took three freaking seasons for Otoo and his wife Haruna to be finally reunited! Upon seeing the two together again, all I could say was:
“About f**king time!”
At the very least, let them enjoy their time together after being separated who knows how long…
You know, that wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
so yeah… where’s the July monthly impressions, Samu? It’s the 3rd week of August alrady…
Monthly Impressions are on hold for the rest of season, possibly for good depending on how things go. Sorry. Don’t expect them any time soon.
First, some questionable shows were blogged while shying away from the most talked about animes of the season. Now monthly impressions are removed. This blog site is regressing, its depressing.
Then again, who am I to question the personal tastes of the bloggers here who actually put an effort to write a blog. Anyways, have a nice day.
It’s all about time sadly. Monthly impressions take a large amount of time to do individually, let alone counting the time it takes to get everyone’s impressions together.
I wouldn’t say the impressions are gone for good at the moment, but definitely for this month and the next. It may return in the fall.
As for posts, well, let’s say the recruitment drive should help with that a little bit.

“I know who you are. I know what you want. If you’re looking for your family, it’s with me. I may be quiet but I have a particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career and motherhood. Skills that will make you regret every single bad decision that you have made. If you come home now, that will be the end of it.But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will drag you home”
Hooray for Otoo-san finally finding his wife. Don’t ever let her go this time, dude!
Honestly I was a little confused with the whole Yamada family situation. Aoi said she had a pretty happy family life until what happened with her dad. She said that her mother changed after so I assumed Aoi’s mother was maybe more normal back then. Then the mother manual came out so does it mean Aoi’s mother was already the way she is when Aoi’s father was still around? The only thing I can conclude is Aoi and her mother already have that communication gap before but never minded it since she had her dad, and maybe that was enough to make her family life happy. And then there’s the whole deal with Minegishi. When Kikuno lashed out at Minegishi, I had the impression that she gets ticked off at given times so I assumed that when Kikuno arrived at Wagnaria she was going to make a scene, yet she was just there standing while Kirio was translating her thoughts, where she came off as being pretty polite. Sorry for the weird train of thought but really the Yamada matriarch is just so hard to read, not to mention she’s very agile. Also while some loose ends were tied, there’s still the mystery of the Takanashi matriarch. Souta can’t even give a clear answer as to what her line of work is so it’s very intriguing.
Otoo-san and Haruna finally together ! I waited 3 seasons for this ! Too bad it was a background sort of story but it’s still consistent with their lack of presence in the whole show i guess. Really quiet can disappear easily ( kuroko no basket lol ) their story kind of get resolved in the background too. Still i’m hoping for more exposure for both of them x) I want the soothing lovey atmosphere of husband and waifu together !
