I'm really starting to love the anime...

Very good animation, A story that's not too fast, not too slow.. a good set of characters.. and over all enjoyment is very good..

Anyways, about the episode, How many children have put those words on their mother's meal?.. kind of felt bad for the mother but maybe she has done something that deserves it too.. and LOL at the hentai novelist.. and about that draft? I think there is really none.. coz' at the end of the episode I think that that novelist was regretting it..

The two girls were seriously confused at what Ohana wa saying when she snapped :D
and Revenge at meals? LOL..

Hope the week just passes by in an instant or they could show episode 3 tomorrow :D best anime for this season as of now.. I ranked it 9/10 for only 2 episodes.. hope it will not disappoint me..

Also, more people should join the Hanasaku Iroha club! I am surprised it's so empty.

Character progression is well done when:
You actually hate the antagonist.
You empathize with the situation of the protagonist.
Become attached to each of the character's differing personalities.

Did the cook just ask a teenage girl to do manual labour and lifting, while calling her kid? Made me froth at the mouth for a while.

This show it progressing pretty quickly, but not too quickly to comprehend. I'm liking it so far. Sometimes I'm pretty annoyed by the way they treat Ohana, but overall it's good to see some drama.

I'm thinking Ohana is going to bring the whole staff together. Help them with their faults like considering their choice of words, being less shy etc. I love how she punishes people by letting them eat their least favorite food.

Rofl, is she going to get molested in the next episode or something?! That part she read didn't look too promising either. xD

Love Ohana's response to her mom not showing up. Her personality is great, she's confused but assertive, and inconsiderate yet sincere. Really enjoying the series so far.

I really hope that happens, covering their various back stories. I want Minko, Nako and the Head Chef fleshed out, so we will see.

Really great anime show so far.

lol when she bailed out of the car - it was also funny how she sounded when she was running.

Ohana is really adorable. I loved it when she made her mom's least favorite dinner as well as putting I hate you on it. It really drew my attention to how her personality is.

Again, we see her personality when she finally "snaps" and forces the other two girls to tell her what they hate so that she can cook it. Really adorable.

Oh man..the ending..I first laughed when she realized it was some sort of perverted manuscript..but when that dude appeared it looked like he was some rapist serial killer.

I'm betting Minko will intervene though and start being friendly to Ohana...which is a good thing in my books.

5/5

This show is just weird for me. I don't really like it but at the same time I don't hate it. I honestly don't care for any of the characters at all but it's only the second episode in, but if I don't feel some kind of draw by episode 5 it will most likely get dropped.

Great episode overall, really liked how Ohana acted in this one and how she was literally bossing everyone around and showing her cooking skills and her past. But sometimes its best not to say die to someone, especially when that someone is driving...

Just wow. This episode completely blew me away. Watching this episode was like an emotional roller coaster for me. From the slightly humorous mood at the beginning (when Ohana was screaming and slicing grass.) to the tears I almost felt flowing out when Ohana pushes Minchi and Nako down and demands to know their least favorite food. Not to mention the feeling of hopelessness when yet again, Ohana attempts to make up with Minchi, yet to no avail. Then there's that writer/author who gets Ohana in to even more trouble and adds to just how overwhelming Ohana's situation is. Ohana's strength and straightforwardness has made me fall for her and this show. I am eagerly awaiting the next episode~

P.S. After reading the translation on the novel, I laughed pretty hard. I'd let her use my mop... if ya' know what I mean~ ;D

It's been a while since I saw a heroine like Ohana, They way she handles her problems (OMURICE OF HATE XD) instead of emoing and waiting for someone to solve them for her.

Does Kanae Itou always voice great heroines? Amu for instance

And are we supposed to like Nako? I really, really dislike her.

So wait a minute hold up, did that novelist actually use Ohana, the girl, as the character for his ero-novel or was it just coincidence? If he did the 1st, then that guy is sick and deserves to get kicked out of that inn. I felt bad for Ohana too, not only cuz towards the end that guy was coming on to her, but also cuz she couldn't rely on any1 but herself growing up. But for two episodes in, this series is really great! :)

Even though she's voiced by one of my favourite seiyuu, God, Minko is so annoying. Good that Ohana told her to stop telling her to die at least. Ohana is quite awesome on other hand. I'm gonna like this show.

Am I the only one who doesn't hate Nako and Minko? Nako reminds me of my really shy best friend and Minko... well, I'm sure she'll get better. I'm really looking forward to some character development for those two. I love watching shy characters come out of their shell.

My favorite characters are Ohana and Tooru though. xD Romance betwen these two anyone? I personally didn't really like Ohana's friend.

Ugh, that weird pedo guy... =_= I hope he goes away. He's creepy.

I love both Nako and Minko, they seem like really complex characters, I look forward to their development greatly. My favourite characters are the same as yours, Ohana and Tooru, then Minko and the head cheff (he just seems like a nice guy). A OhanaxTooru romance would be funny, another Anne of Green Gables feel to it.
Ko seems a little... well... uninteresting, I hope he resolves things with Ohana, no matter how things turn out.
Unfortunately I doubt the pedo guy is going away =_='. He seems like one of the main characters. The first time I saw him and he checked out Ohana I thought to myself "he's a hentai author" and la dee da I was right.

Ugh, why must the vocals in the OP be so damn grating...it's a nice tune ruined by the nails-on-chalkboard voice.

Enjoyable episode, I'm liking Ohana's (over)confidence and the fact that she so openly confronted both her seniors and the grandma. It's also gonna be nice when her experiences shape her into a more temperate and modest character that can rely on others.

As for the author, work of the century my ass. Honestly, that's even creepier than actual hentai.

My suspicion is that there was no missing draft--the "author" is just using the opportunity to scam a free month at the resort. Not only a scam artist but a pervy rapist as well, I don't think it's a coincidence that Ohana's name is on the story/fantasy.



I thought that was pretty obvious, the guy is broke. Also it seems he spends his time fantasizing and fapping to our loli mail lead. Except if the name is some other Ohana, but the cliffhanger does look like he has his rape face on.

Two episodes in and this show seems quite sympathetic. Let's hope it can keep a good pace and doesn't fall in the trap of being too slow and boring.

No, I meant it's starting to be like a typical soap opera/drama, albeit with less drama and a bit more humor.
