"Anpan" No. 117 "Anpanman" featured in magazine → Does it get the worst reviews?

The 117th episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Anpan " (General TV, Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Mio Imada , was broadcast on Getsuku. In the episode, "Anpanman" was finally featured in a magazine, and Tomiko (Nanako Matsushima)'s reaction to reading it became a hot topic among viewers.

In episode 117, Taka (Takumi Kitamura)'s drawing of "Anpanman" is featured in a magazine. Nobu (Imada), unable to sit still, goes to the publisher to pick up the magazine and happily flips through the pages. When Nobu says happily, "Anpanman's big brother is featured!" Taka responds with gratitude, "He's featured! It's all thanks to Nobu that Anpanman saw the light of day."

However, the film was not well received, with Meiko (Nanoka Hara) frankly commenting, "Even though 'The Arabian Nights' was a hit and Taka's talent was in the spotlight, it feels a bit dull..." and "I wonder if it will resonate with kids today. My daughters' reaction was a bit lacking."

Tomiko laughed out loud while reading "Anpanman," and when Nobu asked, "Is it really that funny?", she simply replied, "It's the worst." When Nobu asked, "What about him?", Tomiko began to talk rapidly, "His cape is tattered, and he's so poor he can't even buy a weapon, right? Plus he's not good-looking, he sweats a lot, and it looks like he doesn't take baths very often, and..." and Nobu, unable to bear it any longer, stopped her, saying, "That's enough!"

Taka is depressed, saying, "It seems like everyone's reaction isn't good," but Nobu encourages him, saying, "Don't give up. I'm sure everyone will understand someday."

On social media, comments such as "As expected of the sharp-tongued Tomiko. Don't say such harsh things," "The mother is too merciless," "Tomi-san, you're being too harsh...," "As expected of the sharp-tongued Tomiko. Don't say such harsh things...," "What a load of trashing lol," "'She doesn't even take many baths'" - that's subjective lol," and "I love how smoothly Tomiko criticizes lol" were posted.
