Haha, guest starring: Kugimiya, Rie! That was awesome.

Nice final episode, wish there were more though. Chika is a cute character, just like the others. Yunocchi for instance was so cute when she fell asleep. And Miya-chan owned again, "The word 'plan' does not exist in my dictionary." xD

I enjoyed this show a lot so it gets a 9 from me.

It was really a nice ending. I liked the last scene showing Yuno's dreams about the new year. I give this series a 8.

Ah, much fun! Very happy I watched this series.

The entire bath scene before was quite embarrassing to watch with other people in the room, though. XDD

I like how each episode is dated and they're not exactly in chronological order either. That was fun catching those dates.

So that is Kugimiya Rie! No wonder I thought Chika sounded so familiar right of the bat.

So Sae is a tsundere, lol.

8/10. It was too subtle and boring at times. Overall, very enjoyable slice of life still.

Off to watch special and x365 now. XD

Yeah, Chika's so adorable!

Um... since she's at the glass door already...

Whoa. aiming for a kabuki actor.

"I had to everything myself..."

Chika looks slightly taller than Hiro.

Yes, that would be the ideal, Yoshinoya-sensei, but the reality is often different, in my observation.

I wonder if they're playing Fruits Basket rules...

..bored? Was that supposed to be "bored"?

"You can' wait, can you?"

Oh that was so CUTE!

Floorplan mode!

Bent Yoshinoya!

Penny-farthing!

Yeah, Miyako's a survivor...

That's some kind of camera, to take pictures of things like: li'l Yuno holding Nyanta as a mouse firework goes off; Yoshinoya's disembodied head in the corner as Yuno wears that thing with the kanji on it, and sporting Blank White Eyes...

Awwww, stroking Chika's hair...

And it seems Sae bought the snow globe. :)

Show didn't impress me at first, and Shaft's animation style bugged me for a while. The characters and art style grew on me pretty quick though and I ended up really liking it. Gonna take the other seasons and OVAs a bit more slowly since I busted through this in just a couple days.

Stuff is really relaxing, good to watch an episode right before bed.

This is the perfect show for relaxing a little bit but not too much. Like, Aria is the most relaxing show ever, but sometimes it's just too much for me if I'm already kind of relaxed. A hot bath feels best after a day of hard work, but if you've been taking it easy, sometimes a cool shower feels better. Aria is like the hot bath and this is like the cool shower. Anyways, since I've stopped making sense, I'll shut up now...

A nice and heartwarming anime original last episode. This way pretty enjoyable although I prefer the manga by far.

I deliberated giving this a 7 or maybe even a 8 but I don't think I can give more than 6 for a couple of reasons.

I don't think the nonlinear way of telling the story suits this. Maybe it has some kind of message that the days remain the same and carefree but I think it's just unnecessarily complicated and doesn't really make up for the benefit of consistency. The characters have some development, like when they face their small uncertainities about their future plans and such. I don't like it if the next episode I have to see the said character in square one once again, although it can be seen as a flashback or something. Also, the time they have spent together makes their interactions more enjoyable. I don't think some vague message makes up for what shortcomings this choice has.

Deduction also comes from fanservice shots of Yuno, I can't approve of this D: It's not like it went overboard or anything and it's possible such thoughts were all in my head but it still was not fitting. And I'm not a fan of all weird zoom-ins, references to other Shaft works and 3D art inserts..

Not bad,but you really see that this anime is made to have a sequel as the ending is rather too open! Either way this anime was pretty decent in general with some lovely and cute characters and with some great expressions :D

Let's see what the specials and second season has to offer!

Ahhh I wish we get more Chika for S2!

I love it but I still don't get why the episodes aren't in chronological order. Is there some reason why they had to do that?

Well, it had it's moments and a nice OST to aid the calming and relaxing feels. However, it didn't strike me as anything special and there really wasn't anything memorable. The direction style wasn't my cup of tea either. It's funny but I couldn't figure out if I was bored or just relaxed half the time.

In the end, I would still say it's a good watch but I don't feel any desire to continue with the sequels. At least, not yet. I'll probably appreciate it more with time.

An ok ep to end this yet the previous ones were bit better.

In the end, I liked this show, even though I still think Shaft animation isn't the best thing that would suit this show. The characters are cute though. Sometime it was a bit random to my taste but other times it was funny or heartwarming. This show has lot to be deserved but I still enjoyed it and I am looking forward to another season.

Great slice of life. Improved my mood by a good deal whenever I needed something comforting to watch. Also, love tidbits of odd scenes here and there.

9 or 9.5/10. It was beautiful. On to next season.

I thought the review by WeeaboColin really nailed how I felt about Hidamari Sketch. Enjoyed how down-to-earth and "real" the show felt. Curious if the show will continue as it has so far or if they decide to change it up a bit. Either way, looking forward to it.

I'm glad Sae finally gave Chika that autograph, after treating her a bit coldly in the entire episode. But that was cute nonetheless, I just love it when siblings make up without words, but gestures instead! That Christmas cake looked real and delicious, nice Christmas episode.

Overall this was a laid back series, too bad it was complicated for me to figure out! Like how did Yuno ended up there and became friends with those three? I hated the fact we had to arrange those dates in a chronology, in order to figure out the start. Too much hustle, that I didn't have time for. But nevertheless I will watch season 2 or was it the specials?

For now its a 6/10 from me.

So Chika was introduced this episode who is Sae Little Sister, HMM.. at first their relationship was kinda have problem, but actually is just how their interact with each other like family. Oh I really love that kind of relationship to be, for me it tend to be more various moments that can be remembered beautifully.

Chika really have a fun time with Sae and everyone else she meet, Hope in the future Hidamari Sketch we will see more of her.

And in the last few minutes we get to see Miyako, Hiro, Sae, and Yuno Character was night activity after that. with Sae have Snow globe as represent other as Chika Characteristic in the nutshell.

Don't Forget to about Aoki Ume say goobye for this Hidamari this Sketch Season.

And last but not least Yuno say Good Night as represent us to this story will be Continue. That was a great closing for how anime end that got sequel for Slice Of Life.


Hidamari Sketch was a blast to watch from start to finish. With Main 4 Character that involve in natural and fun way that make this show enjoyable to wacth And Shaft unique animation that divided into Usual Cute Art Style And Simple yet Satisfying To Watch Art Style plus with episode using Real Object that blend great with animation (Plus Episode 5 was a really Best Episode from the series with unique phase and story to deliver). Shaft was great with this anime that they make.

But Unfortunately, Sometimes Transition one joke to another kinda off that make it Sometimes have weird to watch, Introduction Episode that have no proper introduction, And Side Character Nozomi that have short air scene that nothing really make her standing as for School Friends/Good Foe.

Still I really Enjoyed watch Hidamari Sketch but can be better experience if the problem fix for later Season of Hidamari Sketch. I really Looking forward to this series and enjoy it again.

I get it what they were tying to do but this anime is very extremely boring. The only episode i was interesed was the fever dream, the rest? Kinda dull. It doesn't help this anime lacks a proper introduction of characters. Watch Yuru Camp, not this. 3/10 for the anime.
