It's like the first series, but with x365 better budget! I specially liked the background music for this episode.

Trivia: I'm almost sure the endcard for this episode was done by Yasu, of Toradora! fame:

Wow, I loved this. It's like all the awesome stuff from season1, plus additional awesomeness, plus a seemingly much bigger budget for animation quality. I have already been looking forward to this for quite a few weeks.. and not only was I totally not disappointed (despite high expectations) .. but now I'm even more looking forward to additional episodes : ) Hope they can keep this up.

It's not that bad for being a SHAFT show.

This episode was so great that it managed to break my rating promise of not rating series before a third of the way through. 10/10, there is absolutely nothing that could be changed to make it better than what it already is.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

The animation look sooooo good. I am happy that they deicded to animate chapter 0. It was great to see everyone again. Yuno was so cute, Miyako was as awesome as usual, and Yoshinoya is hot as usual.

Wonderful episode ! I was a bit surprised at 1st, but it's nice to see how Yuno and Miyako arrived at Hidamari appartments.

Can't wait to see more !

Maybe im just "slow/retarded/cant get the gags fast enough"

Bright right from the get go, the first 'sketch' before the theme song...

They show a date... then they cut to Yuno running (obviously late)... then they cut to Yuno and her mom in a room (looks like a hotel) and they're talking about her dad...
then they cut to them running again and then they cut back to yuno and her mom in the hotel but now she's complaining about her pillow...
then they cut back to her and her mom running... then they cut back to the hotel and Yuno's mom is having trouble waking up yuno... eventually they make it to the gate of the school >_<

I dont wanna bash on the show but constant one shot gags are definitely not my favorite type of comedy. Its not the oneshot part that really gets me its the completely non-related/vagely-related image that bothers me... Like theres no real preparation for the sight gag. Nothing like having paying attention of the wrong part of the screen and to only completely miss the joke because you're slow. (kindoflikealongrunonsentence) <----thatsaperfectexampleforme

I still laugh at most of what they put out but this is easily one of the most frustrating i've seen. On a lighter note, its animation is more polished this time around... and theres 3d in it (what the...) I still love the characters but most of the jokes go by so fast i cant really laugh. I'm not fond of laughing too late ^_^

Well besides my bitchin, I'm probably gonna give this an 8 instead of a 7 like i gave the first season. [warms up his pause button finger so he can get the jokes better]
And WTF:


fyi: im not an overzealous fan of SZS either (but i still think its good)

Nice OP and ED too, though I still like the old ED more.

Hidamari Stretch for the win. It sure looks better in widescreen. Was hoping for 720p releases as well but this is good enough.

I like the 365 opening more than the original for some reason... it just looks better overall. Though I'm not much of a fan of either endings -shrugs-

I actually like this first ep better than the other too.. maybe this will end up getting an 8 from me~

So much to like about this.

Hidamari Taxi!

Heh! The train cars say "HURRY UP!"

Chibi Chika in the OP! And Natsume!

Huh. I wonder if Yonkoma-Bot and Camou-Santa will make their appearances in Hoshimittsu...

PRESSURE

She needs a normal eraser!

Or at least, if you're going to run in the halls, open your-- *BAM* -- ...Too late.

You know, hauling her off when she's already late isn't going to help matters... Something like "I expect to see you when exams are over" might have been better.

Natsume!

Heh, Sae will have the same thought in a first season episode.

Little did they know... that the one who "didn't get in"... would be their upstairs neighbor...

insert

Flip!

Just got the last box set down when...

But I guess if you want your soba a certain way, it pays to be early.

catch fire

"-chi". Cue the awesome light show!

Yuno's looks like what you might find in an old storybook.

bunny

Okay, what's so puzzling about Miyako's works? I'm not even an art student and I get them.

Is Hiro ticklish there? ;)

I think her falling asleep was a delayed reaction from hitting her head. ;)

Ah, love this show. It's so calm but manages to be hilarious at the same time. The new OP and ED are nice, not sure yet if they top the ones from the first series, but I guess they'll grow on me :'3

Hah hah, as soon as I saw Miya's 'bunny', my first thought is "aha! Miya represents Shaft!". Then I though about her personality, and I realized it'd be freaking hilarious if they actually intended that :)

Anyways, I like this a lot better than the first season already. I kind of got a feel just from the animation and camerawork (and the quotes) that reminded me of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and it blends in really well with the feel from the first season.

Wow that was a good first episode.

"So that's how they met!" I now have new appreciation for the weird episode order.

Yuno. First year. Brings peace. So very true. She's like a little bundle of joy and peace :D

Great prequel and backstory to previous series, I think they should do it earlier but at least we got it now :)
The animation got better a bit and even though you still had to pause some scenes to get the whole message, it flows a lot better now. Can't wait what other episode will be like.
