| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This was a really adorable episode. I really like how Hakumei is protrayed so far with the character's personality. The animation style also feels very fluid and I'm impressed by how they adapted the setting so far. Not bad for the comedy too as it's not overly exaggerated but just enough for the humor. Overall, I liked this episode. It feels like the show has a good direction so far with what it has to work with. |

| Alright, yeah, most anticipated anime of my life. Let's see how this goes. I cried watching the PV, so this could get ugly. Agenda: push "Potatoes Adventure" I'm going to stop reading the scanlations around chapter 16 and just read the manga as the physical official translation arrives, whenever that is. I decided I want the experience of seeing some parts for the first time in animated form. Thursday night: freezing rain forecast for 10 AM Friday, could potentially take down power lines. HiDive promises simulcast at 8:30 AM. Better get some sleep. Friday, 8 AM: went to bed early but woke up every couple of hours. Too damn hype. I think that the biggest reveal will be the music, both the score by https://myanimelist.net/people/32281/Evan_Call and the OP and ED (assuming both play in episode 1). After saying that something like Flip Flappers' "Flip Flap Flip Flap" would be ideal, and actually getting singer https://myanimelist.net/people/47116/Chima from that song (credited as by "TO-MAS feat. Chima"), I wonder whether to expect further perfection, or assume that was an early cash-out. But I'm reminded of "The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia" - Samuel Johnson said: This Rasselas considered as a good omen. "Do not disturb your mind," said Imlac, "with other hopes or fears than reason may suggest: if you are pleased with prognostics of good, you will be terrified likewise with tokens of evil, and your whole life will be a prey to superstition." Heh, they really come off like Yuu and Chito in this first scene, don't they? They're not really like them - Hakumei, especially, is the opposite of Yuuri's laziness. But they both love to eat. Normally in any anime I stop and screen capture any scene with insects. Guess I'll have to play it light with this one. Just absolutely beautiful. I love that fuzz around beetles' mouths <3 And that Rainbow Connection-like track from the first PV. HOW DO THEIR FEET LOOK LIKE THAT AND STILL WORK AWWWWW No OP until next week. Oh well (: Edit: gif'd Mikochi rubbing her face in Kafu's back feathers. https://imgur.com/gallery/LRQ3K  |

| This looks like something new. Im interested. |
 |
| That was very nice. The team from ''Kuzu no Honkai'' seems to be working on this seeing the paneling, i liked this already back then. Pretty artstyle and very relaxing. Lerche is delivering everytime no matter what the source is. |
| Hakumei and Mikochi is a pretty good anime so far. The overall presentation is very comfy and the story structure mainly uses world-building as a method of relaxing the viewer. The way these are executed remind me of the creative directing of Disney films like Winnie the Pooh. Personally, I have not been really attached to the world Hakumei and Mikochi offers yet. I would like more world-building, and maybe some integration of that aspect for interesting character development. The atmosphere is amazing, but how far can the anime explore its concept to keep me interested for many episodes? |
 |
| Very nice. Cute teeny tiny girls doing cute things. I too would like to see more of the world these two inhabit. |
| Brings nostalgia to me remembering these old fairy tail anime of old. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
Great show. Very relaxing, I like this watercolor style in this series and backgrounds. |
| for some reason, the setting remind me of "The Woodland Folk'" by Tony Wolf/Antonio Lupatelli |
| @BluePikmin11 I think you'll get what you want :) Something I hadn't really considered before is that the ocean's movement doesn't scale along with everything else. If it did, the harbor would be destroyed by normal everyday waves, and the town would have to be built a long way up because of tides and storm surges. |
| May 2018 keep providing a lot of iyashikei entertainment like this or Yuru Camp. I'm loving it! |
| Cute, relaxing and charming. That's exactly what I was expecting from this first episode and it was what I got. Couldn't ask for a better first episode. One of my most hyped anime for this season and I'm sure I'll love this. The characters look fun and the setting has so much potential for great adventures. Definitely looking for more next week. |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| I expected nothing and just watched it on whim. I really like the art style, definitely best visual this season. really chill and comfy, this season's top list. does anybody know the seiyuu of the cafe owner? she sounds really familiar. Komaeda? I need to know |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| It's kinda like a childrens picture book, which I must say I love. I live for comfy and warm shows, too bad it's not winter here, watching this with a fluffy blanket and a mug of hot chocolate must be paradise. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| I'm impressed that the bird left after eating and that was that. It seems like this one isn't going to try and rope us in with an emotional gimmick. Cute, pleasant and sometimes clever. |
| Yup, it was as good as expected. Xiaraith said: Yeah, we need more iyashikei in our lives. Just love these warm and fuzzy anime!May 2018 keep providing a lot of iyashikei entertainment like this or Yuru Camp. I'm loving it! |
 |
| Ahhhh so the comfy time has begun. Pretty nice first episode. Everything is exactly what i wanted. Hope it will keep the same quality. |
| Because we're stupid that we love to have fun |
| This was a comfy first episode. The art and animation looks pretty and the music sounds good. Hakumei and Mikochi riding on the evening kite was a nice scene. They have some good chemistry. |
 |
BlackstarFallen said: They have some good chemistry. Yeah, about this, is it even addressed why two girls live together? I like it, but I'm curious about why. |
| For me it looks like "Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou" , except it is in another season of the year (from winter to summer ) .and in different location (from city to forest ). But still , i will give it a chance |
 yessss ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Yeah if you wanna get comfy sleeps this is the perfect show. |
GangsterCat said: does anybody know the seiyuu of the cafe owner? she sounds really familiar. Komaeda? I need to know undoubtedly; https://myanimelist.net/people/287/Megumi_Ogata |
| Well that was fucking wonderful. Very beautiful to look at and gave off a wholesome, healing vibe throughout. So glad it really was Kafu all along, and that Mikochi fond her wallet. :) |
| Really little people living their lives. Kafu the bird found again and going shopping :) |
 |
| Another relaxing, feel-good show. This should fill the void left by Shoujo Shuumatsu, and this first episode did a good job providing a similar feeling. Can't wait to see more. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| had to stop 1/4 of the way to check who was directing this, and it was the same person that did Scums's wish. not really a big fan of the paneling |

But still , i will give it a chance Well, I'm a fan of both manga/shows, but Hakumei to Mikochi manga began publishing three years before SSR :) https://myanimelist.net/manga/80841/Hakumei_to_Mikochi https://myanimelist.net/manga/72467/Shoujo_Shuumatsu_Ryokou Anon028 said: BlackstarFallen said: They have some good chemistry. Yeah, about this, is it even addressed why two girls live together? I like it, but I'm curious about why. They're friends and they have complementary living skills - Mikochi is good at (what in recent times have been regarded as) traditionally feminine jobs, like cooking and sewing; and Hakumei has traditionally masculine skills, particularly construction. If there's a detailed backstory, I haven't got to it yet :) |

I live for comfy and warm shows, too bad it's not winter here, watching this with a fluffy blanket and a mug of hot chocolate must be paradise. The title card and credits all in English really made it feel like opening a children's book. It's also nice to see a fairy tail-esque fantasy with pixies, talking animals, and picture book artstyle, rather than just the average Tolkien sword and sorcery fantasy. |
| It has a great art and atmosphere, but what completely sold me is great voice acting, especially by Shino Shimoji. |
| First pleasant surprise of the season. Love the art and atmosphere this anime has; just what I needed to fill the hole SSR left. Yuru Camp is still probably going to end up as my favorite SoL of the season; but this one has the fantasy and potential adventure elements that might make me rethink about it before the end. |
| What a great character establishing episode. We learned a little about the kind of people Hakumei and Mikochi are and the roles they play in each other's lives. I think what I'm really liking about this show is the fuzzy storybook designs for the characters. It feels like a light fantasy but is filled with enough detail to be a believable world as well. Can't wait to see what this series has in store. |
| like every season previously, i carefully avoid those popular products like Fate/Extra, darling in the franxxx, overlord 2, 7 sins, Cardcaptor Sakura, some yuri animes, and every kyoto anime(you can check my animelist), and find some shows that i like. after Made in Abyss and Girls' Last Tour last year, i have to treat every anime with this kind of adorable flat faces as a potential underdog. thats the only reason i clicked this anime 5 hours ago. and after 20 minutes there was only one word in my mind: surpriiiiiiiiiiiise i wont analyze the plot cuz i neednt. it draws a toon world where to elfs (our main characters) live there daily life. about twenty years ago i was laying in a mat down the stars, listening to my grandmother reading storybooks. this show almost recovered those nice old days. it so warm, peaceful, melodious and relaxing. with no harems, no big tits, no super power, no sword and magic, i can enjoy a pure toon fantasy world. at some point i wanted to question how they earn money and why mikochi has so much knowledge (just like a super power mc), but who cares? the color and artstyle is very good, bright nnd fresh, really perfect for toon. and occasionly, this show sells two blu-ray boxes, just like Made in Abyss. it seems that the market responses well for the first episode. the amazon limited version of blu-ray box 1 rushed into top 100 of all dvds in amazon japan (currently 98th in all video discs, 67th in all bds) after this episode aired. will it really be an underdog this season? i hope so. but i really have two questions now. first, whats the official name of this show? the original japanese manga name is Hakumei and Mikochi, but i saw an english title like tiny little life in the woods. and second, is hakumei male or female? in synopsis it said "two girls", but it appears like hakumei has a boy voice(i mean original japanese dub). final verdict: 5/5 |

| It was really recognizable that Masaomi is directing this with the usage of the panels, I loved it! Incredibly fun and relaxing first episode. Definitely a nice feel-good show so far along with Yuru Camp. I'm liking the design and art as well. |
  |
| Oops. This whole time I thought MC was a guy until I read the synopsis. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| This is my vote for cosiest anime of the season, and it's just perfect for staying inside on cold winter days. I'm so pleased that this looks like a definite must-watch anime! |
| Saw the panels and instantly knew who the director was. He's a good director for Lerche, plus he directed a really funny Gintama episode. Besides Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut and DR1's adaptation, I like all of Lerche's stuff from what I've seen, so I'm glad that this doesn't disappoint. As the potential to be the dark horse of the season like MIA and GLT. |
 |
| Haven't logged on since September but I had to to support AOTS I just want to say I love this series, the first episode did not disappoint Words can't describe how much I love this show I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! AOTS |
| Boring. I can't understand people. |
 |
| Where do I buy a Mikochi? |
| Sieg Zeon! |
Cazador75 said: Boring. I can't understand people. And I can't understand how you consider this to be a 2. |

| Nice, enjoyable and a very relaxing first episode. Personally, the watercolor animation style is something I adore, and it’s nice to see Lerche get this right on the mark. Glad it’s going to get an extra special episode later on too, and with all that let’s hope this show proves to be as good as Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryoukou of last season. |

| "Hey, Mikochi's voice sounds familiar and pleasant, I wonder which VA could it be?" *looks it up* *it's the same VA who voices Akari from Aikatsu* "But of course!" I guess I already know who's going to be best girl of the season :D |
