They really seemed to have toned down the visual gimmickry and squickiness for this one which is honestly something I didn't know a studio run by the creative drive of a person like Akiyuki Shinbo was capable of. Maybe the response to Mekaku scared them into toning down the usual tendencies or maybe there's suddenly a desire to make a show that doesn't look exactly the same as Monogatari. Maybe it's the absence of Aniplex as a producer allowing SHAFT to not actually having to work the same gimmicks for profit over and over but like...different looking. 0_0 That's not to say I think this is a great show or anything but it doesn't make me weep for humanity like most of their shit does.

There was good art and music but...it was overall pretty boring imo. Nothing really happened. But I guess that's what I'm signing up for if I decide to watch a moe slic of life show lol

This show is IMO one of those that aren't really special with it's story, but still make you warm and fuzzy inside because of it's atmosphere.Ryou's voice almost made me sleep (in a very good way).
So yeah, i'm keeping my eye on this one for now.Hopefully SHAFT won't screw it up with their ''amazing techniques''

It's been a while since I have watched an anime, let alone anything about food, which makes me more than glad I decided to pick this show up. Overall, it's nothing too intriguing, but it's exceptionally comfy and cute, and though it doesn't have the Signature Head Tilt (yet), the show managed to preserve the SHAFT flair. Exactly what I signed up for. More than excited for what's to come.

Side Note: More food porn and erotic eating would be nice too.
Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore.

That was everything I expected and more. Heartwarming and calming with the addition of Shaft's style, albeit a lot more subtle but still there.

As I fan of these SOL/moe type shows, it was wonderful, obviously not for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Why can't we have a Manga Time Kirara anime every season?

Familiar aunt voice paired with familiar cousin voice ohohohohoho

Magical sparkles, erotic eating, food porn, super cuteness

Spotting some familiar stuffs, pretty much living alone at home with aunt because parents are overseas, introduced to cousin, and fun activities heh.

Shaft never disappoints.

I am loving everything about this anime, might just be the best of the season for me.

looking forward to this show (some slight SHAFT bias heh)

- +1 for food porn
- OP is ~okay
- cute characters so far
- artwork and animation is decent
- I always wondered this but why do anime characters say "coming!" when their phone rings? (lol)
- needs more food porn
- premature vote for SoL of the year


pretty good intro episode. will continue to watch.

While I'm glad Shaft has done something different stylistically, I can't say I was engaged. The pacing's really slow (even for a slice of life), the characters are not all that interesting, and the inappropriate (?) eating scenes just break the mood for me.

I just thought this show would take on a more fitting direction for a slice-of-life anime about sharing food with the ones you love: Each episode focuses on a certain dish and a certain memory/story tied with that dish. Hot pot and Udon to treat a mere cold doesn't feel memorable or interesting to me. Those two dishes also didn't have any sort of connection to the annoying chibi girl, making the dishes feel even less significant.

Me and my expectations, I guess. It's a nice little show from afar because it has beautiful animation and character design, but at a closer look it's a pretty bland show, even by slice-of-life standards. Just my opinion, anyway.

I just realized after finishing this episode, I researched it up, and find out SHAFT is doing this. TBH when I see this, it looked like a standard slice of life show but with no SHAFT creativity. But the food orgasm scenes somewhat makes me laugh.

It was an okay episode, but felt slow, and characters are pretty standard moe. But the food makes me hungry.

Very cute, had that Shaft flair that I love so much. The perfect relaxing show to watch after watching action oriented series.

Btw, Kirin looks like a chibi version of Hitagi. Instant favorite

Anyway, good episode. I like this show already.

Another Shaft anime. I just can't get over with the art.

Cooking does taste good when your with family. I should eat with people more often.

What a fun and cute episode this is. I surely felt hungry after watching, so I ate dinner after.

Couldn't help but giggle at a lot of the... er, eating. And the little jingle they used for the sponsor thingy.
On top of that, it looks like we'll get a good deal of just cuteness and heartwarming.

Looks like I have my SOL for the season.

PS - I had inari sushi for lunch today.

Wow, that was great. Very fluffy and uplifting. Kind of hits me right in the feels. Especially since it's an established fact that eating food tastes better when you eat it with other people. Especially those that are close to you.
Ryou is perfect wifey/mom material and a great friend.
Not only that but I learned a bit about cooking in this episode and I think I'll definitely enjoy this show for more than one obvious reason (food porn).

Gonna keep watching.

Ahh yeah that's totally Shaft. And it was only the first scene. Not disappointed.

Yes. Definitely Shaft(and definitely Shinbō). And they got back a bit of their randomness (Nisekoi and the latest Monogatari parts except Tsuki were so normal... Not that it's bad - just not like Shaft).

I want more of this and I want it now D:

I like lolis.

I don't like them sexually.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

So, if Kirin visits Ryou once a week, and this show airs once a week, I guess time passes at the same rate in both our worlds.

The ED was catchy too. Can't wait for next week.
