That was exactly 4 kicks, no less. Nice.


funny thing was that it was done unintentionally...this was when mal was undergoing maintenance/updates and wouldn't let me post anything, including updating my list whatsoever no matter what I tried. It was fixed in the end...albeit still a little screwy.

This is ridiculously funny/cute but wrong at the same. I'm glad that it's much more innocent than Kodomo no Jikan. Then again, the girls are even younger -_-

Other than the sometimes disturbing pedo innuendos that is actually pretty creepy, this is the cutest anime of this year (last year was Chi) Then again, this is nothing compared to Kodomo no Jikan....

The girls are so "blobbish" they look like pets... :/ WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, JAPAN?

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I made this prediction on another forum, and might as well make it here.

Japan will eventually get tired over girls getting younger, which will mean grandmas will be the next big moe thing.

Believe it. There's already a few moe grandmas out there.

I remember when moe shows had like the token loli girl. Now lolis are getting their own shows. Grandmas have been slowly going through the same thing. So expect Obaa-san no Jikan within the next decade.

.... or we will have a series about fetus' . Whatever comes first.

A bit wrong, but an enjoyable first episode with plenty of characters.

Hopefully this can be pulled off right. I imagine the idea was similar to that of KyoAni and K-On! and Gainax decided to take a fairly unpopular manga and see how it works in the animated world.

I say that mainly because this is something I wouldn't expect from Gainax.
They could so easily cock this one up.

I will continue following this through until the end though, unless we get a sacred blacksmith and they repeat the same jokes every episode (Boob jokes in blacksmith, pedo jokes in Hanamaru). It isn't funny the 3rd time, never mind the 10th.

EDIT: Over 9000 no doubt.

Hanamaru is a very good show I loved :D and it´s the best thing I watched from this season for far, I watch this episode 3 times just cuz it´s a awsome show and I need to clean my eyes after watch that shit of chu bra and sora no woto :D

OK, what the hell is the big deal about this anime? It's alright, but I don't see what the gushing praise is all about, like it's the next coming of Anime Jesus.

It's almost like you people have never seen an anime with stumpy characters doing cute things (I have... a thousand times).

Episode was cute... I am loving it how it goes, we will see what will happen in the end.
Anzu-chan's okasan was looking good! She is a bit crazy to let kid thinks like she will end up with Tsuchi... and she lets Tsuchi a thought, um does she really mean that?
Well for now I am downloading ep 2, cant wait to watch it!
The only thing that I dislike is that tons of u put score without watching it and even after ep 1 that cant be determined... I would quit on this anime, but its just too cute!
btw 12 eps is so little need MORE!

OK Anzu is pretty cute, Tsuchida is clumsy late/a gamer and complete moron for making Anzu think that he flirts with her but that is just a bad perception of Anzu. Tsuchida's charm of comedy comes from those qualities. The director looks like a pleasant old lady and the best in terms of adults is Yamamoto=>
now that I will marry but I have Sawako :P Now Koume is the shy type and I can see that but Hiiragi looks the be smart one/mature with a cute side. So there is a peach, a sakura, a sunflower and tulip class huh? Interesting names. Anzu is sure brave to declare Tsuchida was flirting with her but all seem to assume it is being violent with her and the reaction of Tsuchida was just a big rofl with a facepalm=>
....good thing he cleared it up. Now Anzu was sure brave for getting that ribbon but at least she got rescued fine by Tsuchida and made friends with Koume. The introductions of each house was interesting with Hiiragi being the most to me=>
simply the house is overgrown with vegetation but from what it looks inside it's full of intelligence let's just say. Now the disturbing part...Teacher getting student pregnant and marrying after? WITW? I know in Japan it's ok as young as 14 but this is just weird you know student/teacher and I never really felt ok with it in any anime but then again Europe has other standards regardless Sakura's past with Tsuchida sure made Anzu love tsuchi but it's childish....I am sure it will mature but now it's a plain joke. Easily the best part that was funny is Anzu declaring being a bride of Tsuchi...rofl=> Family blessing? Rofl yeah right at this age=>
Interesting past of Sakura/Tsuchida=>
Now the house of Koume does look interesting and her family looks to be rich or at least middle class and father looks plain=>
Anzu's family on the other hand looks to be happy and maybe not too rich but still happy=>
On the other hand Tsuchida is sure poor more so than Anzu's family=>
Overall probably the most innocent cute anime ever seen by me with a kindergarten setting.

Was I supposed to feel that somber feeling with the flashback? There was some part of me that wished that Sakura ended up with Tsuchi, but they seemed so unfit for each other...then if Anzu is the same as her mother...Wait a second why am I thinking such things with such an adorable anime?
No you got it wrong! It's Tsuchida x Yamamoto!

Well it's introduction episode, not much comedy so far, but yeah that was too cute, same with me i get a bitter feeling on Tsuchi and Sakura not to be together, but he has Anzu now XD..no wait oh shi+

Lol at the poll..XD
No Tsuchida can have Yamamoto I tell you!

Nice anime. It's probably the only anime that I ever saw make implied unethical student/teacher affairs, and fanservice seem so adorable.
Now fan service is virtually non existent here but student/teacher made me rather uncomfortable for some reason but it was for a short time.

This was indefinitely adorable. The first few minutes were absolutely incredible.
Recently children know too many unnecessary things due to TV and such, so did Anzu when implying Tsuchida wanted to hit on her :D
I also like the exaggeratedly small size the kids have, and how Anzu's first exploration at kindergarden showed how big the world looks from a small child's view. The kids being just 30 cm tall does also work in showing the gap between young adults and young children.

What I absolutely disagree with, is that a lot of people only shout Lolicon (or even pedophile, which is totally wrong) at this. The setting is similar to Kodomo no Jikan, but the implementating is different. Here, Anzu's "I want to become your bride" is a naive children's saying - Rin from Kojika focuses mainly on sexual attraction in an ecchi manner. I mean, who can be attracted by such small pampers wearing plushies? :)
What disturbed me a lot more was Anzu's mother, Sakura-senpai's story. She married her arts teacher and was going to have a child with him while still at high school. This is just a no-go, please go and die -.-
(But I have to admit it was funny how she explained Tsucchi that the age gap will relativize soon lol)

The ending is really well-done. The only thing I would complain about is that Koume doesn't get as many scenes in the ED - one shot of her being a sleeping beauty and that was it.

Now if only kids in real life are as cute as these three..

1. Characters are interesting, especially tsuchida x sakura since they know each other since high school

2. Tsuchida is awesome; Eating ramen & playing playstation like a boss

3. Not fond of the chibi design, but it'll grow on me.

4. Really going to enjoy this 1. should've given this series a chance 4 years ago

This anime could be a lot better with more realistic looking kids, no stupid kid pursing adult thing, and with kids who actually acted their age instead of weird looking 12 year olds. No kindergartner ever acts like that boy was acting. It was really jarring.

Now though, the relationship jokes make me uncomfortable and the kids look weird so it's not very cute.
