Hana-Kimi Ep 5-6: Clearing the Bar

About this episode

The hosts discuss the midpoint of Hana-Kimi while touching on Dune and fitness.

We hit the midpoint of Hanakimi. But first Joe talks about Dune (1984) and then we talk about TV for some reason. Sarah meanwhile has been working out while watching Anime because she is very productive! In Hana-Kimi, we resolve our drunken kiss with a drunken fist. Then we fly through a brief bully arc until, big bro comes to town, dun dun duhhhhnnnn. Mizuki has to pretend to be a girl again and convince him that she should be allowed to stay. Oh yeah, and Izumi can high jump now or whatever, so, uh good for him.
