| So relaxing and wonderful... loved this so very much. So, so, so very much. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Went into this with fairly low expectations, was positively surprised. Guess I've found my slice of life show for the season! rebelakuma said: She's my favourite too. But rather than Tsumiki, she somehow reminds me a little of Shizuru from Rewrite.Ren is so cute. She reminds me of the little Tsumiki in Acchi Kocchi. |

| Episode 1 is based on Chapters 1 and 2 in the manga. I first read the manga. Then I watched the anime a few times. Then I went back and read the manga a few times. I have repeated this multiple times now. It is quite noticeable that a great deal has been added to the anime that is absent in the manga. This includes a lot of things which I found to be very: - laugh-out-loud funny moments - memorable events - memorable lines - visually appealing scenes - good story telling choices - better character design - apparently central events in Episode 1 of the anime - nice re-ordering of the events in the story To be sure, I read ahead multiple chapters in the manga just to be sure that some events in Episode 1 are not taken from later chapters of the manga. Here are differences that I spotted in the anime, compared to what is in the manga: |

| Hi Takuan_soho. Thanks for your reaction. I see exactly what you mean. I have updated my earlier post to include a specific point-by-point list of the differences between the anime and the manga. Honestly, I did not intend to criticize the manga. The manga is good. The anime is good. The adaptation of the manga into the anime is good. The point that I am making is that a lot of careful thought and original creativity went into the adaptation. The manga has lots of great stuff. The anime has lots of additional great stuff that was not in the manga. |

| The school setup is like Higurashi minus Maebara Keichi. The story telling and gags are like Nichijou. And environment is peaceful and quiet like Tamayura. We have a season contender here. Great first episode! |

| that was pleasant to see... i had smile all the time , hope it remains same and expand the idea . satisfying episode overall... end preview was innovative ...i'll keep watching this one |
| Wow I feel so peaceful now~~ |
| I haven't HNNG'd this hard since chu2koi. Beautiful chara design, dangerously moe characters and hilarious skits. I loved how Renge forgets to put the flute away when she talks. Also, にゃんぱすー (nyanpasu~). HNNNNNGGGG / 10 By the way, why is this listed as seinen? |

Francesco149 said: By the way, why is this listed as seinen? Because it's an adaptation of a seinen manga. Why else would it be? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Loved the first episode! Renge was super adorable- probably going to be one of my favourites! |
| Loving it so far. Cute as hell, good visuals and both the OP and ED are enjoyable. |
| This anime will be my comfort zone for this season. Whenever I need to relax, I could just watch Non Non Biyori. I love the details they worked on the settings. Reminds me a bit of my childhood days when I live at the edge of the small town, just few kilometers away and its all wilderness. No convenience store, cows and sheep roaming around from neighboring village. Nostalgic. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Ahhh that was great, cuteness, great characters, beautiful scenery and that is one laid back village. I want to go to a school like that XD |
| Not that original, but I liked the cute SoL and slow paced at the countryside sadly no boys involved in the cast The Meowning little girl resembles Chiaki from Minimi-ke |
Wordsmith said: My concern is that there are lot of anime watchers who are not discerning and open-minded watchers like both of you. Those people go to ANN in the belief that it is an "authoritative" site for anime and is a "place to go to" for information, advice and suggestion, and they read those biased reviews written by "critics"/"experts" who probably don't get what the anime is really about or aims at. Those people are vulnerable to being influenced and see things in the same biased and misconstrued ways. If those reviews are form some random blog sites, I won't get so upset, but it is ANN we are talking about, a site that many western fans view as informative, authoritative and prestigious.Romedbaumann said: Basically this. I usually go only with the cover picture + discription. Sometimes the picspam on sancom for certain series brings them to me. Or the good old recommendation from people who I know share my interests.I wouldn't care too much about reviews anyway. You have to see something in order to be able to actually build your own opinion about it. There were some shows on MAL with pretty low ratings which I enjoyed quite a lot (Such as Hidan no Aria, Hoshizora e Kakeru Hashi or Yumekui Merry (All ~ 7,15)) and there were a lot which I didn't like at all with a much higher score (Shingeki no Kyojin, Lucky Star, Sora no Otoshimono). |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| It was so good I watched it twice, not a lot of anime make me feel that good |
| LOL! That ending was hilarious! Aside from that though, nothing special. Renge is so cute. |
| I needed something cute after finishing Kiniro Mosaic. I have found my answer. |
 |
| guys the boy is the two girls' brother hence calling him nii-san so no wonder they don't hang out with him since at that age kids start no talking to siblings in school |
 |
| Not bad at all, Renge Miyauchi reminded me Chiaki from Minami-ke for some reason in a good way of coarse Will continue this and see how it plays out. |
 |
| ooh that was adorable |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| This episode is a good example of SoL |
 |
| Liked it a alot, very nice SoL. Another must-see for me this season. |
furrball said: So, the boy just went through the floor and it was bye bye for him... how cruel XDDDDD Between Tamayura and Kiniro probably closer to Kiniro. the boy died in that hole I presume |
|
| AHHH NANO RIPE!!!!!!! So relaxing, calm, and beautiful at the same time. |
| Art and the OST <3 SoL like these are always pleasant to watch ^_^ |
 |
| I always looove relaxing shows and this is definitely one of those. Might I say, beautiful art! It is reminding me of Kiniro Mosaic somehow. Lol, 5 students all in different classes, definitely unique. It sure is very slow-paced. That Gu scene xD It was so relaxing that my head started to hurt somehow xD Seems like it will pick its pace, I have a good feeling about this show. 8/10 |
 |
| Didn't expect much of the show after reading the synopsis. Actually even decided not to watch it, 'cause it sounded like another lame story about several girls chatting about some nonsense things. But then i just got bored and watched it on a whim. Whoa, so heartwarming and peaceful! Really enjoyed it, the humour, the art, the sound. I'm glad i was wrong about it. |
  |
| That ED, i can't get enough of it. <3 |
| I love it. |
| Very slow. |

| Wow, this was really good. Funny and relaxing at the same time. I bursted out laughing at the part with tanuki. :D Love the sceneries in this. Also, it was an interesting way to make a preview for the next episode. |
| I like this first episode ......expecting great things from it |
| This Anime is the icing on the cake in this Fall season. I can just sit back and relax after watching action packed Anime like BlazBlue and Kill la Kill. It has a rly good atmosphere. |
 |
| I love the atmosphere and kinda curious bout the only male student there :D |
| Ahaha, Renge is so cute ^____^ She reminds me so much of Tsumiki from Acchi Kocchi. |
| A slow-paced, very relaxing show...just what I needed after this horrible time period called today. I like the girls, they are cute and fun, though I didn't enjoy the performance of Ren-chon's VA too much. 5/5. Also, could someone tell the singer of nano.ripe already that she can't sing to save her own life? The build-up instrument bit was very promising...and then someone castrated a cat. She needs to stop ruining OPs. |
| i KNEW it!!! it was alright. |
| the 5th student is like non-existent here... XD |
 |
| It's a story about autistic characters told from an autistic point of view. |

| What a relaxing show. |
 |
| 5/5 Great slice of life, the Silver Link did not give me an excuse to criticize it! XD The plot as I expected, he speaks of the newspaper and I like that in a sense. Narration very slow, it seems to live every moment to the protagonists together. I like the antics and even the teacher! LOL Drawing really cute and well done this time. Animations promoted. Scenarios convincing CG and non-invasive! * _ * Top marks! : D |
 |
| Reminds me of Lucky Star, I can tell I'm going to like this anime. |
