One of the more neat and for some other series it is weird is how almost anything can be made into an anime. Hanashura is the former and for a series that is about the broadcasting team, it has been really nice. From the author of Hibike where you can see the similarities in the writing, but it feels like its own story. Studio Bind is animating it and doing the scenes where Hana is doing her recitations very well.

You know what, it was really nice to see Matsuyuki have that breakthrough in this episode. Good on Shuudai for giving him the push he needed. Meanwhile, it feels like Hana just has more untapped potential. It's like when the stage is focused on her, she performs well. Just hope this continues to have more confidence in herself.

A bit of misdirection from the last episode made us think Shura was Matsuyuki's sister, but in reality it was Owari. Despite what Owari dealt with her parents, she adores her younger brother. For him, he wanted to support her and have her back, but he couldn't say. To be fair, in his type of family, I can imagine getting the courage to say what you mean must be hard. I am happy they are reunited.

Now Shura does mention she has something of a younger sister, and it appears that person is Hana. Given a shortening of the title is HanaShura which is their two names. Now translating the Kanji of the title I got "Flowers bloom, just like Shura". Could this be implying we are seeing Hana being the flower that finally blooms much like it did for Shura? It has me curious.

One interesting part of this episode as we got characterization of Takao. More so her mentioning that she lacks people skills. I guess she is aware her attitude can rub off wrong on others. Kind of the point of we have left and right sides of the brain. I guess this episode really showed why Takao's sister thanks Kotori for being by her side more than any so far. I am curious if we get to a point where it forces Takao to take a step back and humble herself.

Furthermore, I was leaning towards that the issue might have been acid reflux. But rather it was the mother poisoning her own son. Which is just beyond horrific. Any parent that does that should serve major jail time, and she is a nurse to add moreover.
