Dosanko Gal wa Namara Menkoi

Having just moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido, high school student Tsubasa Shiki decides to explore the picturesque winter landscape he could never experience in the nation's capital. It only takes a moment for Tsubasa's idealized view of Japan's northernmost prefecture to crumble, as the sheer cold and frigid air quickly overwhelm him. While trying to find the way to his new home, Tsubasa runs into Minami Fuyuki—a talkative and friendly Hokkaido native who, despite the cold, is wearing a short skirt. The girl wastes no time in striking up a conversation, and Tsubasa comes to realize that the winter weather is not all that is too much for him to handle.

The next day, Tsubasa is shocked to learn that not only is Fuyuki in his class, but her seat is also right next to his. Swept along by Fuyuki's persistent advances, the young man soon becomes captivated by both life in Hokkaido and the beautiful girl determined to get closer to him. As he deepens his relationship with Fuyuki and meets other fashionable girls from his school, Tsubasa finds out that Hokkaido gals truly are adorable.

Its pretty lighthearted and with some fun juicy moments never feels like they're overdoing it. The characters are each fun in their own way, and you grow to love them all. I would like to see another season
Some nice depth in the characters and their relationships, and the comedy never feels overly dirty and does not focus much on ecchi to try and make it good, the drama is not over the top, and the comedy is good.
Art style and character design is nice.
Story not bad
It was enjoyable
Characters reacted to things in ways that felt real but different

Mixed Feelings

To begin with, I disagree with the title (Hokkaido Girls are super adorable!) since the only female character type that appeared there is a gyaru (google it) and that is not what kind of beauty (it looks nice in the anime but in reality I would be ashamed to have such a girlfriend).

Finally, a romance that takes place in winter (oh how I love winter). After all those summer and year-round anime where all seasons change in 12-24 ep., there is finally a purely winter affair. So that should be the introduction.

I like it when romance takes place in winter, it is a beautiful season ... that unfortunately does not get much space on the scene, which is a shame for me, seeing a walk in the park when it is snowing is not seen very often, or a snowball fight, building a snowman, igloos and similar winter activities. (which wasn't shown here but could have)

The only thing that ruined it for me was the MC (and the girls themselves, who I also didn't like) who is traditionally a dick and overall it's a shounen. I hate that they make the guys into such jerks, then I don't enjoy watching anime like that.

Weak. Just weak. You have a blonde gyaru with a funny accent, that should already be a massive win, so I don't understand how it's possible to mess this up this badly, but here it is.

The whole show is like a broken record. Guy meets up with gyaru, they eat something, "UMAAAAAAAAA~~!", guy gets embarrassed, the end. This is every single episode of this show. If you ever had the feeling anime (especially slice of life) is running off of a template, this will amplify that feeling 10x, except the template is only 1 page long.

It's just a waste of time and that's coming from ... the guy who's very easy to please with just "haha funny booba sound effect" moments. It's not thought provoking, it's not cute (enough), no CGDCT, it's not even lewd, it does not even have comfy feel-good moments that any slice of life should have. The most you get out of this anime is one snippet worthy scene with the gyaru's mom. Otherwise it's so repetitive it gets annoying.
