| Definitely really loved this first episode! The animation and art was very nice. I can't wait to watch more! |
 |
| Loved the episode and the art. Can't wait for the next episode. |
draker said: Just the anime I was looking for, and if it's really 26 episodes, it's gonna be a nice ride. +1 Definitely looking forward to this one. Also, Mamiko Noto in another genki role!!! |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Started great, hopefully it'll stay that way. Not much else to say besides Grandma's a bitch and Ohana is super cute. |
| there are 3 fansub groups doing this serries so far, horrible Hatsuyuki-Tsuki Doki O.o which one should I choose? I've already watched horriblesub's ver because they came earliest (and their subs seem to be fine, too), but what about the others? |
| Animation and character designs look fantastic. Very good first episode and the ending which I'm guessing is going to be the op made me like it even more. Looking forward to the rest of this. |
 |
| PA Works has such sick animation. It's almost like the series isn't animated at all but live-action because they use so many different and unique camera angles. This entire episode was just exposition so I will reserve my judgement till the next episode. If they can bring the same level of presentation that they brought to the background story of the characters in Angel Beats! to this anime, it could be really special. |

| I really liked it. It looks like it has the potential for some nice character development. Definitely looking forward to the next episode. |
| Better than Tiger and Bunny xD |
 |
| finally, this and Steins;Gate will surely fill my anime needs this Spring season. I don't feel like watching anymore shows after seeing Steins and HanaIro's first episodes. ^^ and i already like the main character Ohana, you can't see a character like her nowadays. ^^ |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |

| This is some good stuff. IT has been a long time since I've liked a show just by seeing the first episode. Great quality and with 24 episodes ahead this may be one of my favorites. |
| not mutch to say about the plot and character after one ep but the art and animation looks very good. |
 |
| Too much soap opera for my taste, but Okada Mari's fresh and dramatic script/screenplay, wonderful character design and commendable animation sequences won me over. Starting with 8/10. |
| I absolutely loved it. Amazing production quality, no generic character types. This looks like its going to be good. Wow people already rated it? Seriously? (-_-') |

Because such questions don't belong to the episode discussion. Ask again and the mods will probably give you a warning. okay, I'm sorry 'bout that cause this is the first time I join a foreign community, dont need to be so mean. back to the main points, I've been waiting for a year looking for animes with deep characters development, decent story, and hanasaku iroha is probably one of them. Of course, this has a potential to be the best series this season(spring ss). Not just like other ani these days which are full of harem, ecchi and other meaningless stuff...I really appreciate P.A Works's staffs for making such a beautiful art works. Perhaps it's too soon to be said so, but my instinct never goes wrong ;P slice of life, drama, a little bit of romance and comedy combine together, they've shown us the first episode, which exceeded my expectation. P/s: Ohana reminds me of Taigaa, they both have wave hairs, short in height and ... straight forward personality. |
| reminds me of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Lord_Fauntleroy |
| First episode was pretty meh. 6/10 |
| quote=billng]Wow people already rated it? Seriously? (-_-')i know right? (-_-') -Really what is up with the negative aura in the inn? Poor Ohana (soo cute!..only the character design though) -mommy, i expected a handsome bf though. - anyways, 24 minutes of pure brillance! For a slice of life & 1st episode; the composition was well done. Great animation and the character designs are amazing. Oh seinen♥~ 5/5 |
 |
| I already absolutely adore this anime. Have been missing a good slice of life show for a while now. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. And I really like Minko's voice! |
| Watched on impulse, don't regret. Sticking with. |
 |
| An amazing episode! The art and animation is HNNNNGH worthy, it's absolutely beautiful! 5/5 |

goku08 said: btw the character's designer is the one who designed Sora no Woto's characters No, in this case I think you're not exactly right, truth that he is the one who designed them, but he is not who modified them. I mean the original characters are his designed, but the characters which we see in the whole series has been being modified again Original Character Design: Mel Kishida Character Design: Kanami Sekiguchi |
| mama i'm not actually your child trollolololol that must the the most craziest phrase that a child can say to their mother >_< but well this isn't so funny as i expect when ohana said that phrase. still it's interesting turn out of events :) |
| This type of anime is what I like, a nice story (and a confession in the first 5 minutes) and great animation and music. Good job P.A. Works! Also, does every P.A. Works anime have such a preview, because it was exactly the same as in Angel Beats!, with voices talking at the same time and a white screen with black text at the end. |
| The story here looks pretty interesting and I'm already starting to love the drama. I'm expecting it to become a great series it progresses. Can't wait to see how it gonna turn out. I feel kinda bad for Ohana having to move to such an unpleasant place filled with ill willed people, and just because her crazy lazy mother's ugly boyfriend had to get them into debt too. Well, at least now she'll be ensured a more stable career future than just graduating in her home town. Still, poor Ohana. (Oh, and the setting kinda reminds me ofr "Spirited Away") Now I'm wondering whether it'll become the next best thing that will actually bring me to tears. |
 |
| Stupid inn managers always so strict!! Costumers first and their own life last. And beyond that -.- Damn who** Ungrateful bit** Interesting yet sad anime.. |
 |
| Wow, didn't expect his be so good really. This anime caught my heart from the first 10 minutes. Hope it doesn't disappoints towards end since this looks really great. This has a generic 9/10 for start anyway :D |
| Very nice start. This slice of life/drama anime looks quite promising right from the beginning. Knowing that my fav seiyuu is voicing Ohana makes it better. 5/5 for this episode. Looking forward to the next ones. |
| My god, what an amazing first episode. I already love this series. Can't wait for next episode, |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| This looks exactly like my type of anime. I'm looking forward to it..and I hope Ko comes back at some point in the later episodes. That grandmother really is crazy. Ohana really is strong...but in the end her tears just came out. I really felt bad for her. Anyways great first episode. |
I am a sucker for romance!!!! ] |
| not much as i expect i can't confirm this anime yet but i will watch 1 - 2 more episode to confirm |
 |
| I feel like this series will become a quick fave for me this season. The first episode was like "nothing much, nothing less" and was solid enough to follow. I feel sad about Ko-chan... I want them to patch things up :'< Anyways...I can't wait for the next episode. The voice cast is remarkable and the animation is beautiful. |
     |
| If the rest of the season is as good as the first episode then this could end up becoming one of my favorite shows. |
Aversa said: This a pretty harsh start and i feel sorry for Ohana. At first i thought only her mother was irresponsible for sending her of the her grandmother with whom she herself has a bad relationship but after seeing the behavior of the grandmother i have to say that she is irresponsible as well. In a way it's understandable that she treats her granddaughter of a disowned daughter with some hostility but why others as well. I can understand that you let them do some work most kids have to do some form of chores at home but slapping them in such a way and blaming them for a others mistake is going to far. Then there was the way of how the cook treated Minko which i also found pretty outrages, i have worked at many jobs and can tell this if someone treats you in such a way tell them to do it themselves you should not let yourself get treated in such a way. I think it's supposed to be a contrast between urban and rural life in Japan. A lot of the differences in treatment from what you might expect are likely to demonstrate that contrast. In particular, note Ohana's comments on the city skyline, and then look at the scenery when she's talking outside with that other girl. Also, I disagree with most of the opinions that I've seen in this thread. I don't like any of the characters, least of all Ohana herself. I don't agree with someone who goes somewhere new and thinks it's acceptable to impose her opinions and fantasies on everyone there. Ohana doesn't seem to think anything through at all, and I actually wanted her to get slapped by her grandmother for being so careless. That said, I think the characters are just flawed enough to have genuinely interesting interactions, and that's why I'm going to keep watching this show. As YGH mentioned, though (and in their words), I hope it doesn't go the way of "over-privileged kid forced to work and eventually wins the hearts of the people around her." |
| Haven't watch slice of life + drama lately. Pretty good start for the ep. The art is just soothing to my eyes. This just made me thought to glimpse a while in reality while watching this. |
| Nothing special, I'll not follow. but has become overrated... |
 |
| Wow, didn't know it would become this interesting. |
     |
| Delightful first episode. Good pacing, lovely art and animation, and the fact that not all the characters are likeable only makes it more interesting. I got some Summer Wars vibes from the way all the characters at the inn were introduced, especially the uncle. movip1991 said: I don't like any of the characters, least of all Ohana herself. I don't agree with someone who goes somewhere new and thinks it's acceptable to impose her opinions and fantasies on everyone there. I agree a bit. Like Minko, I would be pissed off as well if some stranger started ripping out plants from my garden. But as you said, Ohana comes from a different environment and needs some time to adjust. I didn't get the impression she's a girl who doesn't think before she acts, but we'll see. |
 |
| The animation quality is flawless, on par with KyoAni's Nichijou (although of vastly different style). I absolutely love all the characters including Obaasan; and I am really interested in seeing how relationship between her and Ohana will develop. thyyg said: Nothing special, I'll not follow. but has become overrated... what is this, I don't even-- |
| Overrated? An episode in? If this show has been able to accomplish this; it's my favorite already. 9/10 since I want to see granny get owned somewhere in the next 25 episodes. PACHA |
