Whoa, the animation quality of this was better than I had expected, at least for a short show...

But uh..
The part with the accidental boob grab. *face palms* I guess this show will probably have more of those moments in future episodes as well.

Um... A bit weird but funny and cute. This could actually be a decent short.

It's too bad that it's 20 minutes shorter than an usual anime, but I'll take 3 minutes of enjoyment anyday in the week.

Art is really great, this low budget short show looks whole universe better than shows with great budget like K or Owarimonogatari.

So, nowadays low budget shows looks just better than those with high budget. This show is just another example that this is true.

Am I the only one that found Hakone to be not that _cute_....

I can't believe I'm judging her from her looks, but I'm disappointed to see that the girl in the poster of that anime is same as Hakone, I felt like Character's design's quality fell down....


Meh.... enjoyable enjoyable, and with this season's logic I felt it was weird not seeing MC getting in contact with half dressed female character, but I got a grope .... 3/5 ...


Edit: Nevertheless, the backgrounds are astonishing...

hahaha. im thinking with low budget and shorter screen time, maybe they have less opportunities to screw something up. Also perhaps with the runtime being 3-8mins for shorts, i guess viewers go into it not having too high expectations.

Shorter than I expected. Both the episode and the girl.

Nothing funny yet, but at least it was better than Komori-San.

Kinda dissapointed this is a short. But still kinda entertaining for a 3 minute show.

I actually thought this would be a full 24 minute sol. Was pretty relieved that it ended after the boob gag. No thanks.

I was surprised it was so short. I'll give the later episodes a chance to redeem themselves from the boob grab. The Hakone scenery is spot on. I used to live 15 minutes from there so I'm kind of attached to the place. I feel obligated to give this series a chance.

A lot of things escalated quickly in this episode but I guess it had to move quickly to get things started! I visited Hakone for the first time this past spring and really enjoyed it-- I was just thinking about going back this fall so I think I'll see what sightseeing spots this show recommends and check them out :)

Hakone has had some earthquake warnings and other trouble this year so hopefully this show will provide them with a little tourism boost. Looking forward to following it!

Then that FUCKING BOOB GRAB. Goodbye hype.

Personally though not very cute character designs, but I found it quite good storytelling that despite the limited time was able to do a story that shows us the context. Pretty nice Hakone, the gags are not bad although not anything new.
