mbarker: (Fireworks Delight)
a.k.a. doesn't anybody have money?

This episode started with flashbacks from yesterday's episode -- the old first sheet of Hakaba no Kitaro, Sugiura saying that he hasn't given up on kamishibai, even though the era is over, Sugiura sleeping on the kitchen floor under a blanket, Shigeru talking about kamishibai being over...

Fumie was outside hanging up the wash. Shigeru came out and said, "I'm going to go out for a walk." Sugiura followed him, saying, "Good morning. It's such a beautiful day, I'm going to walk with him." He went into the street, as Shigeru stepped closer to Fumie and said, "Could I have some money? Enough for the coffeeshop?" Fumie got out the wallet, and handed him a bill. "Is that enough?" He said, "Maybe a little more?"
money, money, money... )
Sugiura said, "There goes my money again."

Fumie just looked bewildered.

aka Scary but nostalgic

This episode started with a pen drawing an eye on a manga figure. Shigeru lifted the pen as Fumie commented, "Scary but natsukashii" (brings back fond memories, old-fashioned, nostalgic?) Shigeru said, "What?" Fumie said, "It's what the teenager at the bookstore said." Shigeru nodded, then got up and opened the closet in his workroom. He dragged out the old tin box. Fumie said, "What's that?" As he opened it, he said it was paintings from his childhood. He showed scenery, etc. then pulled out one. "Here it is." He unfolded it to show red devils tormenting a figure. "That's hell." Then he explained (and they showed us a flashback) that his old maid had taken him to a nearby temple one night. She said this picture is heaven and this picture is hell, and the gods decide where you go. He said hell was much more interesting, as the pictures of the devils tormenting figures swelled and twisted.
Memories )
Fumie started to look at her notebook. From outside, someone called in a loud voice, "Excuse me?" Fumie went to answer the door, and looked at the older man standing there with his square bundle on his back. She said, "We don't need any." The man said, "Oh, I'm not a peddler. This is where Mizuki lives, isn't it? I'm an old friend of his." Shigeru came to the door, glanced at the man, and said, "Is it really you?" Then he went over and embraced him.
