Well that was cute.

I read parts of the manga before and it gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. I think I got the same feeling here as well. OST was pleasant anyways. OP song seems cute too!

Dat dodgeball.

Hotaru looked like a teacher rather than 6th grader. Seemed like they each got a kind of culture shock. lol

The setting (a small class size of elementary school in the countryside) reminded me of Higurashi. This is like a peaceful/crime-free version of Higurashi.

Nice anime. It's relaxing especially right after watching a sports anime. Art was impressive.

The anime in general is insanely pleasant and saccharine with scenery porn, my poor heart is melting. This is more on the level of Tamayura than Kiniro Mosiac. The characters melt both the heart and soul especially Renge who's especially adorable while playing the recorder and soft spoken Hotaru.

Crunchyroll saves the day. As does HorribleSubs, thanks to CR. Renge was as cute in the anime, as she is in the manga. As expected of the best girl.

Having read the manga, I knew what to expect, and that's exactly what I got.
A cute and slow paced slice of life anime. Was pretty relaxing, I liked it.

I know, right? It totally reminded me of Tamayura, it had the same soothing effect.

Wow that was the most relaxing intro I've ever seen. That recorder.

I love how Natsumi spent all that time convincing Renge that it's not the country, but then she casually said in the end that it's annoying how the bus doesn't come often in the countryside XD Renge's reaction was so funny. She's a really cute character. Lol at all three of them when they said that Hotaru is weird for having a key and locking the door at her house. But then I just thought of my grandparents' home in the countryside and they don't lock their doors either, though that's because there's always someone home. But they do lock the gates at night though.

Anyways, loving the calm atmosphere and the humor, this suits my taste more than Kiniro Mosaic. Love the green scenery too.

I laughed at how easily Natsumi said that at the end after all the convincing and Renge's reaction xD
and Hotaru is a great girl! moving must be hard at her age but it seems like she's mostly looking at it positively :)
Overall,that was a really nice episode,and I love that ED!.

Lacking... I was expecting something like Kinmoza or Tamayura but it's way weaker than any of those.

Characters have the potential, there might be some fun with the setting but as of now there is no charm here. Not enough jokes for a comedy and not much relaxing (there were moments of it but they didn't leave much of an impact).

Ofc first episode and all, it may and I hope it will improve in following ones. In the worst case scenario Renge seems like one character that can make it decent.

Seems like a nice and relaxing slice of life, but maybe a bit too slow paced for me.

I like the setting and art though, it kinda reminds me of Kiniro Mosaic.

Well nothing to say here though, generally another slice of life comedy show which I enjoy the most of it.

Characters and the voices were too Moe for the most part, and a relaxing anime of the season. Kind of weird when only 5 students attending in the school but doesn't bother them. Well, Going to keep watching this.

- this show is sooooo calmingg.. :3
- with a SUPERB scenery art combined with great animation it's such a pleasure for the eyes..
- the BGM is perfectly sync with the atmosphere, it's enhanced the "calming" sensation.. :3
- the OP is perfectly perfect.. :3 we love youuu nano.RIPE.. ;D
- the ED is good also..
- the chacter & the seiyuu is good,, i love the way Kotori Iwai voiced ren-chon, it's just perfect :3.. Sakuran Ayane, Asumi Kana, & Murakawa Rie did a great job too..
- the storyyyy... well.. i must say i'm a bit dissapointed, it's a bit different with the manga.. the jokes seems a bit forced even though it's not bad.. the story in manga is better, i think.. [well, it's too early to judge, there's still a room for improvement and i hope it gets better in the next episodes.. reiko yoshidaa,, we're counting on youu.. :3]
- my overall score for the first episode 9/10.. Loved It..

Am I the only one who feels sorry for the only male student? There's only 5 students attending this school...you would think that all 5 would hang out together.

Other than that, I'm enjoying the show so far.

The characters are so cute :3.

Liked the OP by nano.RIPE.Beautiful scenery btw.

"Meowing!"

"No idiot has ever fallen through the floor before." Lol'd at that one guy that did.(Notice they pretty much ignored him too.)

Country. "I knew it."

Liked the ED too.

Really calm and relaxing atmosphere.Was smiling throughout the entire episode.

This show makes me really want to live in the Japanese countryside,with the whole not locking your doors,close friendships and just peacefully life.

Fantastic. I had taken a look at the manga in advance and my impression was that
the anime would not be of broad appeal. However, every aspect of it is perfect.
Finally we see a worthy successor in the Cute Girls Doing Cute Things genre. The
director has pushed very, very far in the saccharine direction, which is a bit of a
risk. But I think that the producers have appraised the mood of Japanese viewers
and guessed that this will be popular. I love that name "Hotaru" for the transfer
student from Tokyo. Most often, CGDCT anime will have a group of girls of about
the same age. In this case, it's the opposite. The only other examples of CGDCT
with a broad age range are Kokoro Library (Kokoro Toshokan) in 2001, Kanamemo
and Strawberry Marshmallow.

Apart from SoL and CGDCT, another genre which seems like an excellent
description for this series is "iyashikei" (癒し系). See here:

I'm really liking this.
From the Ost to animation to background art.
There's this slightly 'strange' aura this anime gives off.

Weirdest thing is, THERES A BOY IN THE CLASS, who is completely ignored and segregated. No one mentions him, no one hangs out with him, we don't see his face. He falls through the floor in a joke. Just something weird about that. He is the only boy in the whole town.

Something will come of it. He has the perfect chance to have a harem.

Wow the visuals were great O_O I can play that first 2 minutes over and over again and still find it refreshing. I also liked the recorder bgm. When it got a little off-key I was like "huh?" and when I realized it was Ren playing it, it made me chuckle.


I know this is one of those healing animes but to be honest, I was kind of half expecting one of the girls to mention Oyashiro-sama xD
