Compared to the other CGDCT shows I'm watching this season, Yurucamp and A Place Further Than the Universe, this was a little weaker and more generic, but I still enjoyed the first episode as a whole. I found the background music to be pretty catchy though.

The animation from A-1 Pictures was very fluid and smooth and the artstyle is cute as well. Plus, Kanna's VA is voicing Kamuri, so this is, in a way, the return of the dragon loli. =P

Although this show will most likely be generic from start to finish, as long as the expected scenes are executed nicely that myself other watchers enjoy, then I think this show will do just fine. =)

My reasons to continue watching this:
1. Animation that pleases my eyes
2. Shion ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Not bad, fairly good even. Bouncing fan service in the first 30 seconds was a little suspicious, but the episode was nice as it went along. I like the idea of naming a little girl after the Crested Sea Eagle. It was nice of the other three to include Hana.

I made it through this episode, but I won't be following the series. Despite the premise, the show's incredibly bland when it's not being nauseatingly overanimated. It's not quite "I want my thirty minutes back" bad, but it's certainly not something I'd waste any more time on.

I'm all about that moe shit!
Didn't thought I'd like this for the first minutes but later on it redeemed itself. It is a generic show and all but I'm fine with that.
It was quite a surprise to see that this show came from A1 tho. I rarelly like anything they make these days, but even the animation had some good moments and art is good too.
Fine episode.

All that A1 budget went moe... rip grancrest jk.
Cute smooth animation like Sansha Sanyou aside, the only unique part's probably linguistic puns (unfortunately a bit lost in translation...).
I was thinking Tomato instead of tamatebako folklore of Urashima Taro, which all japanese knows & even foreigners might hear parts of it. Something about saving some turtle, palace & some reward with the chest. They could've explained the story in short or 'localize' to the Pandora's box idea.
Oddly the va's are great but lines sometimes fails.

Kamuri like Kamui loli, and pink Hana like Hinako.

OOOOOHHHHHH MY GOD. Those adorable eyes. Those high-pitched feminine squeals. That overly cute animation that looks kind of strange because I'm not used to seeing characters move so unnecessarily. That oppai bouncing sound. AND WERE ONLY 40 SECONDS IN. AND IT'S AN ALL GIRLS SCHOOL. THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, THIS IS WHY I LIVE. God made man, and though man is kind of trash, he created them KNOWING THEY WOULD ONE DAY MAKE THIS AND ANIME LIKE IT. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH It's like I'm watching Kiniro Mosaic all over again, flawed only by the lack of ENGRISH, I feel FANTASTIC. That's it. This is anime of the season, maybe even the year. 10/10 ONLY BECAUSE I CAN'T GO HIGHER. I'VE WATCHED THIS EPISODE 2 TIMES ALREADY.

Say what you want, who knows about déjà vu or that is too full of moe, but I still liked it very much. Too cute the opening that has an exceptional sweetness, I already love it. Nice protagonists, I hope that the other girls of the class also join the story. Good graphic quality, the same as the OST. Even the backgrounds are not bad as quality.

I usually like CGDCT anime but my god was this boring. All the girls were really tedious, especially the main one and the loli. I don't think I'm gonna last long unless they add a big personality sharpish.
Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who thought this was extremely boring. Hard to sit through but I'll give it 3 episodes because the animation is atleast pretty.

Somehow, this worked better than it had any right to. Even slice of life anime generally need some sort of story if they're not out and out comedies, and this didn't have one. But I really enjoyed watching it even so. I wonder if it can keep it up?

That's right. Even those "fluffy boobs" are nothing comparing with those cuteness.
And yeah, just like Hana.. It's a complicated thing when the Topic is about the "F" thing. xD

This was actually a lot better than I thought it would be! The art and animations are all super cute and bright, and the OP and ED are nice and fit super well. I like most of the characters so far except for Kamu, the way she speaks just annoys me. It seems as though I'm getting to the point where these new seiyuus are around my age or younger ... OTL They sounded really familiar though, I was surprised at how I didn't know any of them! Either way this looks to be a nice relaxing show, but I wonder how Hana will (if she will at all) tell everyone she's a year older :P

I can already tell that this is going to be my feel-good anime of the season.
It's overflowing with cuteness.

Right now, I'm on a sugar high that no amount cake and energy drinks can even come close to. Definitely the perfect fuel for my upcoming all-night work marathon.

Lolis FTW ~!

I had to repeat 6th grade when I moved states, so I can understand the anxiety and worries that come with being a year later than everyone else. The cliques are already made and breaking into one is really difficult. While I managed to be absorbed by a group of friends I ultimately fell out shortly after because I could not keep up with their conversations and inside jokes. I've pretty much spent the time until today alone because I could not make any friends. Despite college being a new start for everyone I had not picked up the skills or experience of making friends from my youth. I really could have used a Tamate to reach out a hand.

As for the episode itself, there were a few places where the animation looked weird, but overall it feels very average.

These characters are supposed to be in high school? They at the most look like 1st year middle schoolers.

This was boring has hell, with typical generic cookie cutter characters and try hard cuteness. Unless it gets better in the later episodes, I guess this is going to be one of those CGDCT anime that I like to call "trash moe".

How many boring CGDCT garbage shows must I suffer in one season?

The animation is surprisingly nice though, so I'm not completely gone yet. The reviews seem to imply that the show has something special about it, so I'll give it a few more episodes.

Shion is really glad Hana got her uniform.. ;p Also I thought that she's her mom, but if she calls her by name, probably not?.. Well, either way Shion was glad about Hana almost as mother, really.. ;P
Opening is quite melodic~
Em.. I hope Hana won't get in car accident with so many helping against it..
Hey, don't bully Tama-chan for her name.. ;/
These 3 girls company feels as very comfy.. And intellectual at the same time, but I'd just relax in group like this, everyone is just too smart to be offended by anything, it seems.. ;p And their talks aren't noisy chit chat, they're quite relaxing.. I wonder, if Hana will get along fine with them as well.. She's a bit more shy, I guess..
So Shion is Hana's cousin?.. And she lives by herself.. No wonder that parents bombarded her with messages.. ;p
Hana looks at friendship seriously it seems.. Questioning if she's already friend with girls or not..
Oh come on, Shion looks nice in school uniform, don't take it from her.. ;p
Ending feels very comfy as well..
So far anime feels like it has a very comfy comedy..

The animation is amazing, too bad the dialogue is boring. Well, it was really a slow start.
All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath.

Re-watching this show. I have to say aww! <3 This first episode was much better than I remembered.

30 seconds and we got huge boobs. That was fast, haha.

Shion is hot. Hana's reaction was hilarious.

The main cast and their personalities are really likable.

Kamuri is so adorable. "You are the cutest little thing!" I agree with Tama. I loved Kamuri's pout face. xD

Happy Birthday, Hana! <3 Cute umbrella. :)

I’m glad she made new friends so quickly. ^^
