Preliminary (9/13 eps)
Okay, this is my first ever review in this year and my seventh reviews since last year. I started to took interest in this series after I watched Minami-ke the first. Sadly, This series isn't within my expectation. Want to know why? read my review.

Story~
... Yes! Minami-ke is back again! This is what I said before I actually watch the Okawari. ... Huh? Isn't this joke a bit lame? This is what I said after I watched few episodes of Okawari... This is the bad point. For the one who've ever watch the first season might end up just like me. Disappointment. Guess this can't be helped since other company remake the shows.
Since this series is just about the ordinary days of three Minami sisters, nothing can be said regarding the plot because it is... plot less. Nothing is weird since this is just a slice of life anime. Step aside this matter because their ordinary life is not ordinary to us. Thus, their every actions will definitely carves a smile on everybody's face. This is the good point.
Fan services? Yes of course I like it! But sadly, not for this series. Yep, I think the person who was in charge with this series is definitely a half bald perverted geezer. They just can't think that we will happy with it! What we want in pure comedy anime! It is just... comedy. I'd like to give this a good point but... Sorry, bad point for it because I don't really like it.
Well, when we (who watched the first Minami-ke before) watch some episodes of Okawari, I is just like a flashback to us. Yes, this is the truth. They simply just modified the story from the first. Some are better than the first but some are worst than the first. So, overall for the story is 7, good.

Art~
Nothing much can be say about the art but I still have some comments regarding with it. The color of background and character is stronger in Okawari compared to the first Minami-ke that just use smooth color in their works. Nothing to say about them since both of them got their own unique characteristics in their arts. But for character's coloring, I don't really like them. They just change the color of some of their character's hair. Chiaki for examples, why the hell she got 2 colors on her hair!? I understands the fact that they wanted to give some tone to the color, but this is too much. I can't seems to get used to her hair color even after I watched 10 episodes of it. Ok, if they don't recklessly change the color, I would give 9 but... sorry, you can be satisfied with my 7.

Sound~
This is great, really well made. Well they did changed the company, but they still preserved their original seiyuu. They got outstanding OP and ED and I can'r seems to be bored or get annoying with it. Their background music is still preserved and what can I say? No flaw at all! 10 to sound!

Character~
Yeah, their characters is weir... I mean unique. Their every characters got their own personality and it is quite enjoyable to watch their silly actions. Hosaka! How can I possibly forget about him? Yes! He is the most unique character in all the anime I've ever watch! But sadly, they'd really ruined the Hosaka's personality in Okawari. This is a shame. How could they change a pure hearted (but weird) person into a pervert? This is too much! can't give 10 but 9 to the characters.

Enjoyment~
7 without hesitation. It means good enough. I can still continues to watch this series without drops it. They maybe have some bad arts but still... who cares about that? They are still Minami-ke! I love Minami-ke so thre are no reason for me to give it lowers than that.

Overall~
Very good, except for some flaws they made. Regardless, this is still a great anime. If you into the comedic genre, then this is for you. 8.

Thanks for reading my reviews. Hope you read my other reviews too. Thanks you. (I know I can't really compares this series with the first, but they are still Minami-ke right?)
