Wow, I am an idiot. I clicked on Okawari 01 instead of just Minami-ke 01. Ah well, doesn't seem spoilerish at all. Going to go watch Minami-ke. ^_^

EDIT: Okay, that's gross. I think I'll put ~Okawari~ on hold for a couple of months.

There was much more fanservice than the first series and the laughs were not as good. I still have to watch more to to make a determination.

It seems to be starting out just as good as the first season, though I am not sure why they deemed it necessary to tweak the art and color scheme of the series. But oh well, so long as it remains as entertaining.

Noo, Why did they change the colour of Chiaki's (And everyone else's, but Chiaki@@) hair?

It was perfect, and now she doesn't have the same lazy look on hair face, the eyes don't drag down as they would have in first Season.

I don't mind fan service, it doesn't really ruin the mood or anything, just bits of the skin lol.
I did notice how the comedy was a bit boring though, but so were some of Season 1's episode jokes.

Hopefully it gets better, I loved the Hot Springs scene with Mako-Chan lol.

I actually thought it was more funny than the last few episodes of the first season. Makoto and Touma trying to figure out how to get into the sauna and Fugioka walking in on a very naked Kana were priceless. I also think the animation is improved, even though it was wierd at first. Otherwise, it still feels very much like Minami-ke. If the reason why this shows score is so low is because of the different animation, then i'm calling bullshit.

Well, I'm glad that the story contines and I kind of like this season's animation, much better than the last one.

I though that Fujioka would be happy to see Kana. But I guess not.

Great first episode for me. The ending was just hilarious. Fujioka opens the door and Kana is standing there, then he just casually closes it. Lol, so great.

Awesome start, altough I was surprised it starts with onsen. However it was good, and sometimes scared the hell out of me (old-man-glasses suddenly appear). And also funny as hell.

What happened to my Minami-ke!? I did not like the OP or ED. My biggest complaint is the animation; the colors are all wrong! The fanservice was also unexpected. I didn't mind it too much, but I just hope they don't use it too often like they did in this episode.

I will continue with the series only because the most important thing was still there, Minami-ke's humor. The confusion at the onsen was funny; however, the rest of the episode lacked in the humor. I'm hoping this may just have been a bad start.

I didn't even know they switched studios until I read the thread. I knew there was something wrong with chiaki's hair. There was something off with all the chracters in general (except for maybe Mako-chan).

They added a kitchen? I thought the kitchen was tiny...

I really enjoyed this actually. After hearing how bad the other seasons were, I purposely waited a few months so that I wouldn't constantly be comparing this and the first season.

It wasn't OMGLOL funny, but I got a few chuckles here and there and it was entertaining to watch. I can't say I ever thought the first season was laugh out loud funny either, so maybe it's just me.

No to just wait until Hosaka shows up. Then it will be a party.

Anyways this episode wasn't as funny as I was hoping but the scene where Fujioka gets mixed up with the baths was pretty funny.


This was exactly what I was gonna say. I never noticed the hair style that Chiaki had in the first series, but I don't like the one in this series (how it's blonde then purple-ish at the ends)

I like the OP and ED just as well as the old ones, they're both amazing imo. This just looks way cooler, but the other OP fitted in better imo. The new art style is a lot more modern, but the faces just look off now, perhaps it's something that I'll get used to in a while.
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page.

It was okay. A couple of good jokes here and there. That cross-dressing thing has really caused all kinds of problems for Mako and Touma.

And what's with everyone mentioning "fanservice"? I didn't notice any.

Oh, you mean characters were naked in multiple scenes? Well, if I get to see characters being naked, but without seeing any actual nudity, to me it's not fanservice; it's teasing and it pisses me off big time.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

What a depressing new year xD

Mako and Touma, they can be a successful duo manzai if they want xD
So Kana can get embarassed too huh

Poor Uchida
Why you left her alone, Kana? :(
Also, she's way too good.. Everyone must thought "she won't come" and she did

I agree! Don't imitate everything you see!

I loved the first studio better is cutter and no about fanservice.
I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.

Can't say I am surprised, but this season has seemed to have lost its magic in more ways than one from the 1st season. Only watched 1 ep though, maybe it will get better.

I might just have low standards when it comes to slice of life because I enjoyed this episode, but it seems that wasn’t the same for the majority of the people that watched this. Granted I wish the animation was better but you can’t really do anything about that.

Despite being made only a year apart, Minami-ke Okawari is much more animated. A different studio produced the second season, but the style of comedy is still roughly the same. It's strange seeing the blacked out unnamed characters, and the opening seems out of place for the show. Also, I noticed that the clomp of hair on Chiaki's head is used akin to a sentient ahoge.

The opening song is not as chaotic (and funny) as the first season. The animation can be creepy and out of place at times. Sometimes even more creepy, in terms of how the movement of characters and their facial expressions.

Studio change, eh.
The opening and ending doesn't feel like this is comedy anime. I think the song is for the serious one.
I'm having a bit of a hard time remembering the character because the art change.
