Hanayamata

(12 episodes)

What’s it about ?

Adaptation of a “cute girls doing cute things” manga. It features Yosakoi dancing.

Characters

Naru, our generic protagonist. She’s very ordinary, aside from her frequent chuunibyou-ish quest looking for fairies.

Hana, the new transfer student from America, does look a bit like a fairy, especially as she jumps around town at night. She loves Yosakoi, and wants Naru to join her.

The regular cast also includes Naru’s best friend (who had a bad first meeting with Hana), and a rich girl living nearby.

Production Values

Reasonably pretty.

Overall Impression

… zzzZZZzzz… There’s nothing objectively wrong with this : it’s cute, the characters are well-defined, some of the jokes are funny… But it just can’t quite catch my attention. It’s too inoffensive to really ping my radar on such a busy season.

I have more interesting shows to watch than this. Too bad.

I've been kinda blogging about anime for years... but mostly on forums (such as RPG.net's Tangency) and other sites. This site is an archive for all that stuff, just in case.
