So how exactly did this make it to an anime when there are many more better mangas to work with out there?
I was wondering about that as well...
There are so many more awesome mangas out there that just awaits an anime adaption.. So why this one? ^^;


The mangaka has a cousin in an anime company? Just saying because shit like this are usual in our world.


Anyway the episode wasn't bad. Ok certainly nothing that will shock the public but now i know what to watch when i relax with my milk and cookies.
It has a sense of calmness about it (and some unavoidable moe).

The best character for me is the manager. She rocks.

Btw i didn't knew that the unemployment in Japan was so low that jobs chase people instead of people chasing jobs.

At first I thought I'd OD from all the optimism, and usual cliches... but I like the humor so I'll stick with it for awhile.

Absolutely average. Can't say it was bad, cause it wasn't at all. Some parts made me smile or chuckle. Nothing special though.

Dropped.

A warm start, introducing the variety of characters working together in the family restaurant. All of them, different in terms of personality, will hopefully develop a lot of funny and enjoyable situations in the future.

For now, the first episode introduces all of them in a funny way, pointing out the weirdness of certain characters - the minicon as our main character, a 17-year old loli (how does that even sound?!), a crazy boss, two laid-back workers (one of them resembling One Piece's Sanji, as someone said before), a waitress with a katana and another waitress with a phobia which makes her hate men. Quite a combination of personalities in that little restaurant.

The art resembles K-ON to me, light colors, easy to watch, nothing really special. The ending theme is a nice, catchy song, I hope we'll get an actual OP though.

The series may easily be one of the best of the current season, if it keeps up a moderate pace and doesn't increase the dosage of moe to the point of being annoying. A great start so far.

That was nice start, but I don't really like the main character
In comparison with the other characters he is very uncool

The scene where the customers were bulling Taneshima was a bit too hard in my opinion


someone one one ,cool and crazy song

Why are people talking about ep 2.
Isn't this just a re-airing of first ep?
Has ep 2 already come out?

Yesterday or the day before that or something I think, haven't watched it yet though, just saw it up while passing by my feeds : p
Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile.
Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(゚Д゚щ) Nope™, probably not.

There is a somewhat familiar element to this anime for me. My local sushi bar has a very short, young and exceptionally cute Asian waitress, just like Taneshima-san (only with curly hair rather than straight). Would it be too cheeky of me to leave a copy of the manga for her?

I was looking for something similar to Antique Bakery and this looks to fit perfectly with the setting, unusual cast of characters, and slice-of-life comedy.

I watched this a long time ago and decided to watch the whole series again (and bought the dvds to do so) before the 2nd season starts. I loved the series the first time but was worried it wouldn't be good on the 2nd viewing. But after seeing this first episode again - it is seriously awesome. I have a smile on my face the whole episode. Its just so happy, and funny, and Inami is ridiculously cute!

lol the manager kicked one of her costumers asses because they called her an old hag. xD

I wonder why one of them is carrying a katana?

Inami has a fear of men, but it looked like the manager made a mistake and have her and Takanashi work together. Hmm I wonder how she treats male costumers or does she have someone else take their orders for her?

Takanashi, Jun, and Hiroomi are sexy and the manager is awesome.

I just saw a review of this in a magazine and thought I would give it a look. Turns out it really does appeal to me, it's pretty funny and already gave me a few laugh out loud moments. I already love the characters... not sure who my favorite is yet but right off the bat a girl afraid of men does sound entertaining.

Going to continue to watch!

Well, that was a promising first episode. Seems like the MAL reviews weren't wrong about this one.

I was kind of taken back by the Sanji lookalike. Only thing left to do is give him some wild kicking moves and he'll be set.

Oh wait...

Poor guy just can't catch a break.
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.
