See that weird brown thing flashed for a second at 00:29 ???

"On the fifth floor observation deck is enshrined Billiken, the God of Happiness or "things as they ought to be." Billiken, a popular American charm doll that came to Japan in about 1910, was enshrined within Luna Park when it opened. When the park closed in 1923, the wooden statue of Billiken went missing. As a part of an effort to revive the tower, a copy of Billiken was made from an old photograph and placed inside the tower in 1979. The statue of Billiken became closely associated with the tower and is a popular symbol of good luck. Each year thousands of visitors place a coin in his donation box and rub the soles of his feet to make their wishes come true." --- Wikipedia

For details, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiken

大阪ルール 36 : 間違った大阪弁は絶対許されない
Osaka Rule #36: Don't mangle our Osaka dialect!


The last "Osaka rule" was ironic in that the voice actress for Namika is not
actually from Osaka. Kana Asumi (阿澄 佳奈 ) is from Fukuoka which is in
a very different part of Japan. Somebody else already commented that
Asumi showed a mastery of "Osaka-ben" in order to be able to win the
part. It was definitely taking a risk to cast a non-Osakan in the role, but
I can't see indication that it has not been carried off successfully.

Here is her Japanese Wikipedia page: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/阿澄佳奈
Sorry, but you can't click on this link. Copy and paste it to another browser.

Others please correct me if I am wrong, but after a quick glance I believe
that this is her first role as the main character.

I would really enjoy seeing a follow-up season where they both go to Osaka
for a while and then see how her older brother reacts.

One more thing: What is with the constant "brocon" comments at the
start of every episode? I hope that is not one of the "Osaka Rules".

That's just the way it is!

I wonder why they chose to call the title of this episode "Namika-san@Ganbaranai" which is a clear reference to another anime this season - Sasami-san@Ganbaranai. I tried to find any overlap in terms of anime production and original source material but I cannot find any: the source material are published by different publishers, the anime are made by different studio, the production companies are different, even the TV channels are different. A real mystery.

EDIT - OK I find one overlap, Namika-san is also voiced by Asumin, who voiced Sasami-san in Sasami-san@Ganbarnai. So that's why !!!

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

No no no, Asumin (Kana Asumi's nickname) is a veteran seiyuu. She is more than qualified to be a main character for a short anime. Example of her main role in anime:

- Yuno in Hidamari Sketch (4 seasons)
- Kana in Bokurano
- Mikoto in Kampfer
- Nyaruko in Hai-yore Nyaruko-san
- Popura in Working! (2 seasons)
- Kaoru in Tamayura
- Mio in Anonatsu
- Ann in Busou Shinki
- Sasami in Sasami-san
- Hinata in Yama no Susume

Adding -san to food is like giving pet names to food isn't it?
Kind of strange giving things you eat pet names pretty funny tho.
Imitating a accent is often seen as annoying by the original speakers no matter what language it is Irish people also tend to dislike the imitations of the accents.

I second this.

This little mini-series was enjoyable and it is funny to see how different cultures clash even though they are from the same country. Much like how people are different throughout the States. I was rather shocked that it was going to Bluray since it was so short. Wouldn't mind owning this if the price was right. For what it is, I'll give it a 7/10.

12 x 3 minutes = 36 minutes

an anime blu ray is about 2 episode of normal, i.e. 40 minutes+

It's fine i guess

Haha Namika got lazy on that last song.

Quite sad to see this anime end... it provided me with quite a good laugh and I at least learnt some stuff about Osaka. The animation wasn't what I had expected but it was still ok. Could've shown more romantic developments though.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

seriously, why not just drop instead of suffering and whining about it? Not a single damn given that day.

Lots of references = WIN
If you catch the very last part of the episode after the ED, she said moe moe kyun too lol

This was a decent ride, and I'm gonna give a biased 8/10 because I enjoyed it alot.

Enjoyable anime. Short, but good. The main character is so cute it should be illegal. Also, could've used some ecchi, but I'm still satisfied with the final product.
