| Very relaxing. Great art and sound. I'm enjoying those Nichjiou-esque moments too. |
| That sakura tree and view from the top.. I was moved. Quiet and peaceful slice-of-life, nice and relaxing watch for someone who lives in the busy city. Far from the rush of the city one starts to think about what pleasant life should really be about. Definitely gonna watch this. |
| Such a nice show. I've watched this opening episode three times already. The characters are cute with gentle humor, a tranquil mood, and an idyllic setting. Its already drawn me in. |
| This is a beautiful and memorable line. At 02:30 in Episode 1, during the opening narration, Renge says, でも時々思うなもしかして家は田舎に住んでいるの。 Demo tokidoki omou na moshikashite uchi wa inaka ni sundeiru no. "However, at times I think that just possibly we live out in the countryside." 田舎 = inaka = countryside / rural area 田 = ricefield 舎 = hut Then, throughout the rest of the episode, the older girls try to convince Renge that they don't really live out in the countryside. Finally, they can no longer deny it, and Renge says, "I knew it!" It is a bit different in the manga. See Chapter 2. Renge and Nattsun are walking along the road. Renge sees a cow led by a farmer. So she asks Nattsun whether, just possibly, they live out in the countryside. Nattsun does not directly deny it, and she goes to a great deal of effort to dodge the question. If you do a Google Image search for 田舎 there are many nice photos. |

I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| The music in this series is very interesting, Ren is cute with her recorder. A fun and very relaxing series, reminds me of Higurashi without all of the nutcases of course. Hard to believe Hotaru is 5th grade. That scene with the sakura tree at the end just helped put me at ease. LOL @ the end when Ren realizes they live in the country. |
 |
| im not a fan of these show, but for a certain reason i liked this one, really relaxing, no headache to try to understand something, soft comedy, the little one (ren) seem really a funny girl p.s i like the facial reaction from the new one girl |
| I completely get detached from life, all of its hardships, the stress that comes along, the concerns that make it difficult. Everything washes away as I watch this masterpiece. :) The Best Anime of fall still going strong! |

| really relaxing and lazy feel to this anime, beautiful art, just something i can watch without any worries i don't think there will be much plot to worry about, just sit back and watch these cute girls have fun in the countryside xD also anime music is something i am not particularly fond of, but the music that was playing where they were all under the tree towards the end was lovely! Think i will enjoy this one, nice break from action/mature/psychological anime lately! |
| This was a very slow paced first episode, though it clearly looks like it has some potential and honestly Hotaru is freeking adorable! :) |
| Nyanpasu~ "No idiot has ever fallen through the floor before" Poor onii-san xD Lol @ Gu's trick So, did they live in a country? I'm curious (Kininarimasu) xD Wow preview... |
"Signature removed"   |
| That was really cute. The cherry blossom is always a classic in japanese animation. I like how the dynamic in countryside is so different from a city. That ending was so cute. The Moe show of the 2013 year surely. |

| Pretty sweet and relaxing first episode, I do wonder what the story has to offer us but well I sure love the characters and especially the loli! |
 |
| A very relaxing and adorable anime. A little dose of these is needed alongside with the craziness of Kill la Kill at the time(and still ongoing as of winter 2014). |
| This is so adorable. I don't know why but Ren kinda reminds me of Chiaki from Minami-ke a bit, minus the whole "bakayarou" thing. |
| This is so calm and relaxing, ver nice! ^^ |
| Man dat atmosphere! Great start, really looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| What a scenery porn. At first I thought I would care about the background more than I care about the characters. But Renge is like the epitome of cuteness idk anymore. |
| haha loved that realaization at the end i can tell this is going to be a good watch sooooo cute |
 |
| OST is really soothing,the recorder playing perfectly out of sync adds to the light mood as well.The art is amazing. Renchon just made me laugh uncontrollably when she says something dumb.Nyanpasu~! lol. And why didn't the male student talk at all? This series is looking good for me! |
| another fucking anime about pubescent girls talking about random stupid shit and doing the same old fucking thing and you people are fucking enjoying the shit out of it something must be wrong with me b/c this shit is already getting 2nd season and there's a fuck load of the same type of this shit out every season sure it's 'peaceful' and 'relaxing' to watch. However, I must be one of the few that doesn't need this kind of shit to escape from all the depression and real life suffering majority of you are feeling. It's a total snorefest, waste or time, zero enjoyment, and retarded shit over and over again to me. I'm not bashing the anime, but I just can't believe why this shit is so popular and well-liked over and over for years. /rant |
 |
| This was brilliant |
 |
| It's like Higurashi but without blood. lool Ren-chon is soooo adorable! Lol she has already stolen the entire show after one episode :D |
 "And if, there were so many people in the world, there had to be someone living an interesting life that wasn't ordinary. I was sure of it. Why wasn't that person me?" - The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part V [/center] |
| Just showed this episode to my mum. She seems to like it too. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I didn't think I would enjoy it that much. I thought a show with kids would bore me like Barakamon. Such a nice atmosphere. The art is beautiful and the character desgin is simple - how I like it. Very positive first impression. Lol'd at the last scene before the ending. |
| Very relaxing and enjoyable. I can tell I'm going to love this show. |
 |
| Slow, relaxing, sweet, cute, fun... so good. Slice of Life at it best. |
| I have mixed feelings about this. I really like the green scenery we're presented with, it is so soothing, but, I don't really like the character designs, I prefer some more realistically drawn characters. Disregarding what I said about the character design, the episode was quite relaxing and fun. Though, I'm wondering why does it have the seinen tag, since I don't see how this is targeted for a more mature audience. |
 |
| Opening scene was beautiful. I hope we see more of Gu hahaha. |
| My heart has melted. |
| That scene with the racoon LOLOL Haven't laughed that hard in awhile |
| That village atmosphere.. Background was beautifully well drawn, and it's very relaxing with a fitting soundtrack. I'm loving it. |

| cute girls doing cute things never gets old I love the grade 1 ren-chou's logic and only figuring out that she's in the country at the end. |
 |
| So relaxing! Sometimes I wish I could move from the big city to the countryside. |
 |
| That "Nyanpasu" I died. That guy falling through the floor haha. Lold at raccon scene. Ren-chon realizing she is in the country in the end :3 So relaxing and enjoyable damn I love it. |

| I laughed so much when they showed that the boy had fallen into a hole (in the hallway) that I had to pause the show and take a break. The raccoon part also. |
Mirai, zura~!  |
| Man, I've been putting this off for far too long. The gorgeous visuals and music create a lovely idyllic atmosphere, and I like the quiet deadpan humor and use of still frames for comedic effect. This is my type of show right here. |
 |
| Wow, amazing first episode. |
| Great watch for the summer,really relaxing atmosphere. |
 |
HeroKenzan said: Great watch for the summer,really relaxing atmosphere. Exactly. I really liked this first episode and if the rest of it as good then this might end up being my favorite show of this type. |
| So kawaii!!!! I love the comedy type and relaxed atmosphere mentioned above for sure! Definitely reminds me of Kiniro Mosaic and Yuru Yuri and other awesome shows like that =) Can't wait to enjoy this all! |
| this is adorable. the art is great and the comedy is very well done. this will become one of my favourites for sure |
| This gives me an Aria vibe, i loved this episode. The first three minutes of this were beautiful. When they arrived at the sakura tree, that was tear-inducing. Background visuals are amazing, this looks like a series i might fall in love with if this keeps up. |
| Nice, nothing more. As Smudy above said, the first three minutes were beautiful, but then everything averaged. Soothing watch, nonetheless. |
| Really impacting this re-vision of the first episode of this fantastic series. The thing that struck me is the beauty and atmosphere that I breathed the whole story. Very beautiful designs and scenes, the soundtrack was beautiful to listen to. Narratively it is pleasant and relaxing to follow the speeches and events in which the protagonists are involved. In short I was right to look for the umpteenth time this anime, it always excites with its simplicity. |
