I don't get how someone can actually like this crap, this is basicly just one big candy commercial, and not even funny one. Also there is a romance tag but there is no actual romance. Worst show of the season

0/10


It's funny if you like randomness. The candy commercial aspects, and the sheer amount of effort put into animating them really did it for me. Also, there're a lot of references in there that not everyone might get, like the original 1979 Gundam ones.

I didn't even laugh once, dropped it at episode 6 cuz it's too repetitive, it's like watching one episode again and again! Sorry to say but I didn't find even 1 redeeming quality in this anime! Too bad cuz I was looking forward for this anime and it turn out such a huge disappointment! Perhaps I had too high expectations...

The end comes to everyone, and even Hotaru takes his leave from us in the manner best suited to her, giving us an episode full of craziness seasoned with a bit of romance. Anime series, appreciated, even if adapted very sui generis in certain points of history, better and more beautiful to look at, great quality profuse by Studio Feel, beautiful also the opening and ending, we see well a second season, as far as I'm concerned, but the implementation needs to be better.

Overall a bretty funny show, incredibly chill and kind of hit and miss at times. But I love even the fanservice and lo-fi comedy in these kind of things (I absolutely loved that cheesy ED) which made 60% of the show tbh because I personally love this kind of not particularly original slice of life anime. Although there was a good 40% of approximately well-written comedy

Coconuts' and Kou's bromance has gone underappreciated.

a nice finale to a nice show. There were very few "laugh out loud" moments for a pure comedy series, and Dagashi Kashi had the unfortunate fate of being a gag anime (that's really all this is TBH; the romance was virtually non-existent and went nowhere) airing at the same time as the vastly superior Osomatsu-san... but it's one of those shows that always kept me smiling. The character chemistry among each of the four primary characters was great, and that helped the show a lot.

Hotaru is forever waifu.

^proper ending would be those huge-- nevermind. ;-)

I picked up this series due to its wacky nature and somewhat original concept (dagashi and whatnot) but towards the end it became repetitive and frankly, boring. Glad it's over. twas alright.

this is one of those series that you enjoy the ride but will never go jumping into the manga or asking for season 2. Just like a dagashi, its taste sticks in you mouth for a moment then you go for a sandwich.

Aaaaaah, I'm so going to miss this show. I grew attached to all the characters qq.
Fridays just won't be the same anymore.


This last episode was pretty cute with Sayu and Hotaru. It had it's touching moments and it kind of made Hotaru shine for me.(Also, those face reads were hilarious)
Kokonotsu and Saya's brother scene was also really funny. That dance. So silly of them thinking candy would make you popular.
Overall a nice way to end the show and I hope it gets a 2nd season. Loved the art style and character designs even if they were pretty simple/generic-ish.

Didn't like the ending, though still a fun series to watch. Mainly because of the artstyle and the good humour. Probably won't watch a second season, since it wasn't that special to me. Would be if there was romance, an actual plot to make it more interesting.

Too much talking about candy. Dull, hit and miss humor. For some reason I'm bothered about their small eyeballs. Hotaru is funny at first but became boring before long. She's boring and annoying. Saya is okay thought. About the main guy, the glasses guy and the dad? Mehh...

4/10. Bad

While a fun episode, it was a quite lacking final episode...

It was obvious they weren't going anywhere with the original laid out story after the couple of episodes.

But well in general it was still pretty decent!

Nice finale, everything came to a close nicely. I think Hotaru kind of solidified herself as top wife. Sorry Saya, I still like you too.

I'm gunna miss this show, I enjoyed the comedy, the randomness, and the charming characters. I'd like to see a sequel, and I'd also love to see the manga licensed as well. I'd totally buy.

Hope to see you again Dagashi! 8/10

To sum it up: Ship tease, fanservice, and one very long running commercial for various dagashi vendors.

That said, this is a good place to park your brain for a bit after watching some tougher, more in-depth content. In practice, it's fluffy, non-committal, episodic (no real arc), and decently funny. As such, so you can watch the episodes slowly and don't have to worry about forgetting anything important.

Just in case you did:


Overall, it's nothing stellar, but at the same time, I've watched far more troublesome anime. Come with the right mindset and it's a good 7/10.

I don't know if someone else post this already, but there is a nice "touch" if you rewatch the first episode after finishing the series. This is the first ever appearance of Hotaru in the series, and she is trying to open the same candy from the last episode.

Too much sweets advertising that I don't really care. OP was great but the rest of the series could have been better. The latter half felt like it was one pervert joke after another.

It really was just 12 dagashi commercials, but I was okay with that for the first several episodes because it was informative, very funny, and a bit out there. Then after the first several episodes I felt like it started running out of steam and ideas. The finale was amusing but considering it was the final episode was pretty underwhelming.

By episode 5 I would've given it a 7/10, but by the end I had to give it a 5/10.

Alrite, well the Yuri scene was nice. Now my Saya x Hotaru ship has some basis.

Anyway, the series wasn't great, the comedy was pretty good, and the characters were great. I hope there comes a second season with an ENTIRELY different plot.

Also, that ending was painfully anticlimactic.

This show didn't turn out as good as I hoped, but it wasn't all bad, either.

For the most part, I found Hotaru annoying and a serious pain in the neck.

I figured Saya would be tsundere, but I'm relieved that she's a lot cuter than I imagined her to be, and only mildly prone to violent outbursts.

A bit weak on the comedy side, but enjoyable for the most part.

Thats it??? Final episode yoo~~??? The director thought there will be Season 2 so the final episode seems like there is continuation?

Sometimes this show got average pattern and some comedy is not funny but I learned lot of Dagashi so I will give it 6/10.

I was hoping for some kind of wrap up or conclusion but... oh well. I enjoyed this show at the beginning because the candy theme was interesting and different but it got really repetitive after awhile and the story felt frozen in time. It seems like a lot of people enjoyed this as it was airing but I don't think I'd recommend anyone come back to watch it for a first time a year or so from now, there are better food-centric shows out there.

Well that was a fun watch, I can't say I remember alot because it's been quite a while by now.
But besides that, this and the previous episode were entertaining, it didn't lack comedy, the series somehow told me ALOT about dagashi, they better be true facts btw, that way I could've learned a bit too.
This episode gets 3/5, as a finale it should have been better, more things should've been round up, it just kinda leaves me sad, I wanted some romance between coconuts and someone else too.
The anime will get a 6/10, Tou was a great character.

Damn, just happened to be browsing and saw how low this show was rated.

Goddamn, I read the manga before this and I enjoyed it immensely, changes and all. They adapted most of the manga chapters pretty faithfully, they just added on top of it. Which I'm very much ok with because it gives Saya development, and it kept the show from being 4 minute shorts.

Everybody seems to pretty upset with the ending, I thought it was pretty fitting since it was basically the same scene as the first episode with Hotaru's arrival.

Plus, between all of the promotions for candy, the big manga sales boost, and I believe decent BD/DVD sales, there can always be another season someday.

It was an okay show. The snack tidbits were fun, but overall it's a sleeper for me. Nothing really stood out and I don't think I'd remember this show in the long run other than it being the Snack Anime.

It was nice to hear Tatsun though.

(sigh) the parts I could follow and the parts that were "important" were two different things (I'll watch again when the subs come out tomorrow). Interesting tie back to the beginning, with Hotaru struggling to open the same candy tin as in the first episode, at the same bus stop I believe.


Holy, nice observation! Had to double check in ep1 and indeed it was the same stuff

I might be the minority in this but the yuri kind of ruins it for me. I have nothing against it but I'm not a fan of it being thrown in everything. Plus it ruins the build up for Kokonotsu and Sayu that happened throughout the series.

Learning about snacks was interesting, the art was pretty, and Saya was cute. Hotaru has a cute character design, but I dislike her personality - which is unfortunate because it's obvious the source material will have them end up together.
