Kenkou de Bunkatekina Saitei Gendo no Seikatsu Episode 7
Episode 7 is my favourite episode of the series for a couple of reasons. Firstly Yoshitsune is not the main character of this episode. Kurihashi is a much better character to tell stories through because she has her own 'disability' which is her inability to smile and connect with people.
The second reason is the issue of illiteracy. I remember the feeling of being in Japan my first time and being unable to read anything including the menus. Seriously though in my line of work, I've sometimes come across people who don't have strong language skills that becomes a barrier for them to get things done.
Third reason I love this episode is Keda Tetsuhiro aka Akiba from Yabe Kenzo. Normally he usually plays slapstick characters but this time he does a great job bringing this down to earth, human quality as the illiterate person who can't get a job.
Fourth reason is Kurihashi and Akiba have great chemistry and synergy between their characters. I feel Saitei Gendo no Sekatsu could have been Juhan Shuutai and episode 7 is proof that it can be. Giving it a must watch rating for episode 7 but watchable for the series thus far. I thought episode 4-6 had interesting topics but the execution was lacking. As far as I know, Kenkou de Bunkatekina Saitei Gendo no Seikatsu only has Japanese subs.

Hi, did you already watch BLEACH live-action movie directed by Shinsuke Sato, it's quite good IMO, it's out on Netflix few week ago...
What happened to the subtitles thread on d-addicts? You said they would not close it down but it appears they have.
@Faiz Ikari: Haven't tried BLEACH yet. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Shane: You need to log in to access the subtitle forum.
