Koufuku Graffiti - Episode 3
Kirin and Shiina cheer Ryou up after a bad Art Class test.
Heh.
Combine a bag of rice, a bad practical art class test and a conversation about how media portrayals of food don't match the real deals and you have cute girls cutely eating a whole bunch of rice dishes.
Shiina has officially joined Ryou's foodie harem.
Aw. Ryou missed having someone else serve food. She really has been lonely since her grandma died.
Well, I guess you can pile rice that high in a bowl, just like in the cartoons.
Look at all the practice dishes Ryou made just to make that omelet rice dish like their cartoon hero.
I wonder how long Ryou would have to practice to do that spinning move...
Kirin thinks fast. She grabbed the two things she knew would help Ryou cheer up after she drew what she would cook with the still life instead of just drawing the still life. No, she didn't need the teacher! She needed to ask him to give her the still life. But yes, she needed Shiina.
Now we know. Ryou is a grade A airhead. Shiina walked with her and Kirin all that time and she didn't even notice. Of course, Shiina wasn't contributing to the conversation, so she may have a lack of presence mixed in with her daintiness.
I was chuckling at how Ryou was offering her finished dishes up to the camera as she described what she cooked. We stumbled into a Reality TV cooking show.
Here. Have a whole bunch of Kirin doing cute things.
I think Ryou might have some obsessive compulsions.
Just a hunch.
Meh.
We had a slight continuity error. We had seen some night time scenes, but some of the conversation at the table still had a light sky from the balcony.
Yes, Ryou was still worried about aliens abducting Shiina. Shock faces all around.
That alien capture scene has been used in other anime too.

Hmm.
I quite liked the mix of Ryou's parents putting in an appearance of sorts by sending some local rice and having a bad art assignment subject be the catalyst for a large family dinner. Add in talking about a popular food based anime and trying to replicate those dishes, and we have meta narrative within meta narrative. The way that cartoon guy was so passionate about omu rice reminded me of Yakitate!! Japan. That was another foodie show about baking bread.
I'm still waiting for Ryou to start cooking for her downstairs neighbor, so she has someone to cook dinner for every day, instead of just over the weekend for her supplemental school classmates. Getting her aunt to stop by more often would be nice as well.
