I will post a MAL article to it here....

I watched it. Needless to say, it seems somewhat sketchy. I won't go into specific details about how it is sketchy. Just trust me. It is really sketchy.

Dropped it after trying out the first 2 episodes back when it aired, I couldn't get into it as I remember.

Yes and I found it to be quite insufferable.

Crunchy only has the 2nd Season. I did read a couple of Manga Special pages of it in Call of the Night since it's the same Author & he included it as a bonus. Not sure I felt the appeal.

I have a weird relationship with the show. I found it cringe and frankly bad, but also strangely endearing. The character design and rural setting had a charming, soothing vibe. I remember doing a couple reproductions of it when I got back into drawing. The two girls just look goofy in a good way.

I haven't, but every time I look at it I'm surprised by how low the score is. Seems like something a lot of people have mixed or negative opinions on it.

@erotardation If I remember correctly, the characters and atmosphere are pretty good, but then the show tries to mix in some kinky 2010s ecchi moments and the tonal dissonance with how innocent and sweet and comfy the show is just brings it down like a house of cards.

sketchy is right. all over the place too. but it was good for some absurd humor and a few quotable screenshots, like:

It's just some waifu sucking on candies (often a phallic mouthful, like in that one episode) and candy trivia and history that's boring enough to put one to sleep. Dropped it around 3-4 eps in.

I have re-watched it twice and I absolutely loved it.
You all know I love slice of life countryside laid back anime.

The only reason why I watched that show was because I thought the character designs were cool.

There's nothing sketchy about it. It's just food porn but with Japanese sweets.

WAIT, HOW THE FUCK IS THIS 2016?
Never watched it, but remember people talking about it at the time.

I also liked the ED.
And I remember watching this during my early-college years.

"Have you ever seen the Dagashi Kashi anime?"

Yes.


"somewhat sketchy"

It has hot girls and they talk mainly about japanese snacks (which have surprisingly deep lore)...what's wrong with that?

The characters were cute and the ecchi was nice. It did feel like a commercial for candy no foreigner would get a chance to try.

Most retarded bakadere of all time + educational anime about Japanese snacks = unironically 10/10 peak

I only found out about it recently thanks to a thread on 4chan (rip), which is weird because it's almost in the top 500 by popularity on MAL but no one ever talked about it here in the last 7 years.

Yeah it was very basic and maybe a little repetitive, but I strangely loved it, found Hotaru very hot also.
Season 2 was a little pointless though.

One of the first anime that I was interested in. I havent completed it but I plan to soon. The character designs were waifu material. Thats the whole reason I was interested in it. The yellow hair girl was easy to draw as well. One of my first anime drawing was unintentionally inspired by her.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Anime was kinda meh but it's got a few good doujinshis. The ones by Pochi-sensei are good.

I would actually subscribe to their YouTube channel of reviewing Japanese casual snacks or candies, associated with childhood.
Also this anime taught me the difference between wagashi (Traditional Japanese sweets) and Dagashi (children's snacks and candies and gums)

Time FLIES, especially with the internet doing a great job in distracting us from the real world.

First season had better animation than the second one and it was a bit more enjoyable to me but it's a great anime nevertheless

@rohan121 well, do you like the show? I think it was enjoyable to watch, despite being a blatant advertisement for Japanese candy.

Never watched the anime, probably mid, but it had some good doujins which is all that matters for the legacy of this anime.

It is cringe but I enjoyed it really since it is really dumb
