If my team leader was found occasionally walking around the office in their underwear I think my work experience would have been drastically different, possibly with a deeper sympathy for the HR department.

Today's episode was...not great, honestly. The Umiko stuff was nice enough, but everything at the doctor's office felt real stilted and awkward.

Right? Like, I get that the joke was probably supposed to be that she had the wrong idea about what an enema was, but I don't know how that happens and its a rather gross joke compared to most of the humor in this show.

I think the idea is more that Aoba has a weird fixation with appearing adult, so much so that she's totally psyched to go through uncomfortable medical exams older people have to deal with. also it's a poop joke

This was exactly what I got out of it. Considering the other times she was trying so hard to be an adult(ordering alcohol, buying tickets as an Adult vs as a Student, etc) it seemed pretty obvious that was the episode's "I'm an adult now!" joke.

z0glin Warchief posted:That was just a horrifically ignorant translation. It's common knowledge (in Japan) that during the annual health checkup you drink a barium solution (which is used to take x-rays of your guts to check for various illnesses). It feels weird and heavy and a lot of people take a half-day off work when they have to do it because the sensation lasts a while; Aoba probably grew up listening to one or both of her parents complaining about it and was excited to finally try it out...except they only do it for people who are age 30 and up, because that's when the problems the barium x-ray are looking for start becoming more common.

I suspected that was a translation issue. Still, the whole checkup scene felt really off to me - a doctor's visit is a weird and uncomfortable framing device for fanservice, IMO. Could easily have accomplished everything this episode did with a weekend hot springs visit or something.

Good ep but I also wish the doctor bit was replaced with more sordid airsoft funtimes or something. Umiko is the best, I want more of her and the cat lady.

I feel like there was some joke or double meaning to Umiko's last name I missed. Anyone who paid more attention than me or knows more Japanese willing to fill me in?

I just figured her name is a bit peculiar to the others since she's Okinawan, and the spazzy nurse seemed to confirm

Yeah it's basically just that it sounds strange/funny to Japanese people not from Ryukyu/Okinawa. It's a stereotype a lot of people have about Okinawa, that they have really weird names, so she's probably more than a little self-conscious about it. Space Flower posted:I just figured her name is a bit peculiar to the others since she's Okinawan, and the spazzy nurse seemed to confirm Also yeah, a lot of people have trouble reading Okinawan names because they tend to use different readings for the kanji than a more "typical" Japanese name. For example the "gon" in Ahagon is almost always read as "ne" when used in surnames throughout most of Japan. As an aside the name basically means "root(gon) of the waves(ha)" (the first 'a' sound doesn't really mean anything, though it may have at some point).

How on earth has Umiko reached adulthood still embarrassed by her family name? Kids didn't make fun of her enough in school. love this screen saver:  Nene has cute pyjamas:

She probably grew up in Okinawa, where she and her name are from, and therefore wasn't teased for it. Then she comes to... Whichever part of Japan they're in, and people keep commenting on her "weird name" and pronouncing it wrong and stuff.

Please be sure to read the manga once the anime is over, if you aren't already. You won't regret it. Promise.
