MIYA'S HAIRCUT 💙 | Horimiya Episode 6 Reaction!

[@maddiemew]

feel free to educate me on other cultures in the comments when I react to animes as it truly helps me, but do not call me ignorant for not knowing these things while i’m watching these for the first time as that is not helpful 🫶🏼

[@shuvamsamanta4719]

It's pretty common to bath together in Japan. They literally have public baths.

[@drewpaupanekis4710]

It just shows her ignorance and thinking Americans know better.

[@maddiemew]

Thank you!! I didn’t know that

[@maddiemew]

@@drewpaupanekis4710 it’s okay for me to learn things as I watch 😀 never said I knew better ?????

be prepered for the next episode and make sure u watch the extra scenes left after the outro music

[@maddiemew]

Will do 🫶🏼

[@astro_morph]

It's my understanding that taking a bath with someone is considered a bonding experience, and that there is a belief that you can not hide anything/emotions when you bath with someone since your basically in the nude.

[@maddiemew]

Ooo that makes sense!! Thank you!!:)

[@nekomimi4923]

Hori's parents' love story is also cute too

[@mezacharia]

sadly, it's not animated.....

[@quinnboyle7388]

great episode! excited for what the second half of the show has in store!!!

[@yaridino6322]

I really liked your reaction❤. I wanted to remind you that in the next episode there’s an after credit scene🤭

[@maddiemew]

I won’t forget!!😊

[@juho1891]

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't read the manga, but my understanding is that the anime compresses time quite a lot, so the kiss probably wasn't yesterday from Hori's perspective, I assume some time had passed before she started to complain about him not making any moves on her. But yeah, that did feel kinda surprising/jarring to me too.

[@oldfashionedkiwi1791]

You're right

[@maddiemew]

True I forgot about that!! I was confused

[@JMT-t1k]

I was confused at first too. But I just took it as Hori wanting to kiss again after experiencing that first one when he took the candy, and she just couldn't say it directly.

[@SvenJGP]

i'm super late to this but i believe the events are flipped in the manga. complaining about making moves happens before the kiss.

[@grantharriman284]

Communal bathing is MUCH more of a thing in Japan than in the US. That request is not outright ridiculous, though it is very forward. Communal bathing is seen as promoting connections and understanding among participants, and not as a sexual thing.

[@maddiemew]

That makes a lot more sense 😌

[@grantharriman284]

@@maddiemew Happy to help. Part of why veteran anime watchers are here is to help the new ones with cultural differences like this. There are a lot of cultural things that simply don't apply when moving between Eastern and Western cultures in general.

[@mezacharia]

oh.... another significant cultural item in this episode is when Hori's mother tells Miyamura to change his parting phrase. That phrase is for what someone says when they are leaving the home to the other members of their family, so she basically told Miyamura that he is part of the family. She's pretty much calling him "son" or "son-in-law" at that moment.

[@deinonychus1948]

Miyamura: *with long hair* Other girls: "YOU SUCK" Miyamura: *gets haircut* Other girls: "WE WANT YOUR NUMBER!" Hori: "DON'T EVEN TRY IT!!"

[@deinonychus1948]

Hori: "This candy tastes like clay" Miyamura: "You sure? Let me have a try" *kisses Hori and snatches the candy* Hori: "My boyfriend just stole my candy via a kiss and I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed or overjoyed" Miyamura: *spits candy out* "Way to go candy, now my first kiss will forever be tainted by the taste of clay!"

[@banktown576]

keep going

[@grantharriman284]

How on earth is Hori so skinny when Miyamura's family makes cakes that look like THAT? High schooler metabolism is so unfair. I miss being able to eat literally everything I can get my hands on.

[@maddiemew]

I feel this 😭😭

[@mezacharia]

lol... the manga has some side-stories regarding weight for several of the characters including Hori

[@maddiemew]

@@mezacharia I REALLY need to read the manga 😫
