Holy poo poo, sixth episode was amazing. I was empathizing with Handa incredibly much when the young guy started blabbering about stuff of him from the magazines, I probably made roughly the same horrified faces as the protagonist did.

Rest of the episode I spent a wide grin on my face. That one moment was an Neon Genesis Evangelion -reference, right?

This anime makes me feel things, man.

For your consideration, the best screencap of all time:


Edit: Barakamon's opening theme is easily my favourite of the season.

I was fully expecting her to show up during the above screencap. Her whole "fangirl-in-denial" schtick is hilarious.

My favorite joke was probably busting out the credit card on Naru, because of course that would work on her.

Yeah, the Manga gives that scene a bit more time; The reason he's trying to take it back from her before she goes off to her grandmother is because he effectively doesn't want to get snitched on for tricking Naru

Barakamon continues to be the best anime of the season.

I was sorta reminded of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer when Kawafuji was going all hammy, and that made me sad.

Everything else was loving amazing though.

Funimation finally added the episodes to their website (I don't know if they did this earlier, but I just found out :v:). So I marathoned it, and I just wanna say this is the best feel-good show of the season along with Nozaki-kun!

Episode 7 was a nice blend of serious and funny. What killed me was the part at the end where Kawa-san was wearing those dumb glasses. They moved?! Also the "Hey, I was having a serious moment :mad:"

So is there just not an episode this week? Or did I somehow mix up the day it airs on. I finally got around to watching last week's episode and it was just the sweetest thing. I really do love this show. :kimchi:

This and a couple other shows are delayed a week due to a all day television special of some show.

Well at least it isn't suddenly over like I'd managed to half-convince myself while frantically searching for why I couldn't see this week's episode after catching up on the last one.

Psycho-Pass extended also lost an episode this week, but at least it had two episodes a few weeks back so it's not all bad.

That "Star" calligraphy still confuses me. Is the character done entirely by panting the background around it black, or did Handa paint the entire canvas black and then drew the character on it with white paint?

e: Also, "Cargo Cult Calligraphy"

...In the manga, I mean, considering the show's basically done :smith:

For some reason I had it in my head that this was the last episode, which made me feel kind of weird about it until I realized that obviously there was one more. Gonna miss this show real bad, the manga is still ongoing right?

The former, I'm pretty sure. He was nervous about whether it was "proper calligraphy" or not because he never actually drew the character.

No, I'm guessing the latter. He painted a black background, then painted the white character on top. There's no other way to explain the white splatters.
Also, he was nervous about whether it was proper calligraphy because he felt it came from his environment, not from his ability. So 'he never drew the character' in the sense that anyone who had gone through what he had would have drawn the same thing (at least in his head).

Barakamon was both really great and refreshingly different. It's a common complaint, but man is there not enough anime about adults. I watched the last episode a couple hours ago and I already miss the show.

Even the stories that came out about the casting were really cute, I've seen a couple interviews talking about how all the kids in the studio adored Handa's VA and followed him around everywhere.

Oh my god, that's adorable! :3:

I still need to catch up with this series, but it's been all incredibly heart-warming fun so far. Praying that we get a second season of this along with Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun S2 and Chihayafuru S3 airing at the same time.

just let me dream...

I agree this show was terrific, but I have a hard time seeing how they could do another season. The show was more of a "coming of age" for a reclusive, spoiled, adult. He not only got his poo poo together by going to island, but he became more confident as an artist and began to find his own style.

While I think having his mom visit the island would be terrific, and I was really hoping she'd go with him this episode, I don't know if we could get a full season out of it. The only possible thing they could do for our main character would be to have him become romantically involved with someone.

I think they could get a lot of mileage out of Kōsuke Kanzaki being jealous of any romantic relationship Seishū Handa might have.
