This is adorable. From the OP theme song to the return of the main cast, it was so refreshing to see it Summer again.


Good to see the friends again.

Renge hopping along in the countryside is always adorable. I also loved that little salute she did.

So good to have this series back.

So it actually is repeating the same year then. I had a feeling it would be. Having this confirmed got me feeling down for all of a few seconds before my love of the series overwhelmed this and I slipped back into blissful pleasure

It's a Renge-focused episode to start with this time, so it isn't long before we get more awesome Renge-isms. Practicing going to school eh?

And they show Renge round the school.

Miyauchi Renge-dono!

Hikage is great as usual too.

Mobile phones. They can do anything:


"Is that Haute couture?"
"Is that Haute couture?"
"What's Haute couture?"

Not much Hotaru this episode, as she only arrives at the end.

Beautiful scenery this episode as well, of course.

Going to rewatch the episode tomorrow. Also of course.

I missed this so badly, even though i only watched the first season not long ago. Great to see it back, i can feel the peace already, smiled almost for the entire episode again and got goosebumps.

So a flashback episode, what happened before Hotarun arrived. Lovely.

Kind of a boring episode, since Non Non Biyori can't really pull off drama that well. Exposition could have been a lot better, too; I didn't realize it was supposed to be a prequel episode until the very end. The inclusion of this 'origin story' that adds nothing to what we know already could be seen as a poor directorial choice, and I question why it didn't just pick up where it left off.

Good to see that the show continues to succeed in the technical department, though.

What was up with Hotaru just moving in at the end? Was this just a prequel episode and they're going to go back to present day where Hotaru and them are already friends or is this a alternate timeline? I'm so confused

That happens in the summer so even if this wasn't a prequel, stuff happens between the end of S1 at the beginning of spring and that trip.

The ep was lovely as always. But I didn't realize it was a prequel until the end.

Looking from the PV, the next ep isn't going to continue where it left, because they are supposed to be in Okinawa... This isn't making sense. Is the whole season 2 a sequel?

I loved this first episode but even when Hotaru was moving in I thought she was moving out and was like " wtf where are you going?" I have been so not with it today I didn't even realize this was back in time....

the "no one would be stupid enough to fall through the floorboards" *pans to Sugaru walking along* cracked me up so much, nice little hat tip to the first series.
also loved the focus on Ren-Chon, easily my favorite character so many funny moments, looking forward to the series, wouldn't be surprised if it is the same year with just other bits that weren't mentioned in the first series since it is called "Non Non Biyori Repeat" (still facepalming that I didn't notice it was back in time)

one thing I do wonder about though: what happened in Okinawa, will we ever know?? that OVA seemed really weird just them preparing to go on a big trip, though I spose that is amazingly Non Non Biyori-ish...

Also forgot to mention, I'm so happy they used another Nano.RIPE song for the OP, one of my favorite bands

It was as cute and slow again as it was before. The singing part combined with the pictures of landscapes felt a bit propaganda-ish. Kinda like pride oneself on the rural life. It was okay :)

Oh so this really is a repeat, I was wondering since Renge said he's just getting to the 1st grade. Though doesn't that mean this'll overwrite the past season then?

nah I assume itll sort of run alongside it, since 12 episodes for basically a whole year hardly covers everything that is going to happen in that year, I guess they'll just be filling in gaps

Not necessarily. There are many scenes and happenings in that year we DIDN'T see in S1 I presume. So, it could work out.
I want Rambo in a mecha-suit with a laser-chainsaw gun that fires nuclear warheads, fighting the love-child of Predator, Alien, a group of Bangladeshi terrorists, and Satan. (Actually that would be a pretty sick show) - StopDropAndBowl

Miyauchi Renge-dono's salute was epic! It's cute see her get excited about attending school for the first time. :3

Hikage forgetting her cell-phone was hilarious, especially when she was running inside the carriage. Renge wanting all the whales in the world to fly was pretty funny too!

Good start, although I wished they'd pick up from the Okinawa trip OVA. Well, continuity isn't really needed for this type of show. The animation quality for the background was just as great as the first season, if not better.

WHAT A GREAT START!
I just realized how much I missed it.

And it is probably best looking Anime all time. Hibike was great for example too, but Non Non Biyori looks way better, that backgrounds are sooooo beautiful.

I waited so long for this. AOTS (probably, I don't know how good Charlotte will be).

Hidamari Sketch did exactly the same thing for season 2. A lot of the story that happened in the 2nd season took place in the gaps of the first.

Waah, Renge was absolutely adorable. Being that eager to go school with her legendary sword (and also her pika pika bag). It really was quite the little adventure.

Renge's slip-up on that word and asking what it is what just perfect.

Plenty of great scenes and fun ones too, looking forward to more. A great depiction of the country side, despite not having much technology, there are perhaps even more things to do. Love the mood.

I can't explain in words how much I missed this anime.
Once again, Non Non Biyori manages to soothe my heart.
Ren-chon was so adorable in this episode (well, she always is). The scene when she finally arrived to the school as a first grade student was very touching for me.
The last scene with Hotaru made me very happy too! Oh, you just don't know, Hotaru <3
I laughed so much when I saw Natssun and Komari's brother in the bus. I forgot how unpredictable the boy was!

I completely agree with you, I got goosebumps watching this too!

Anyway, excellent opening and ending, they're very nice.
Also I'm glad to see that the OST from S1 is back. I just love this series' music.


Best first episode of the season!
I think this is all I need this summer <3

Edit: I think everyone in this thread who enjoys and loves this series, should delight themselves with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYoCbmS6j-k <3
My favorite track from the OST.
