Kana Asumi's been on a roll lately, hasn't she? Yuno, Namika, Ann, Sasami and now she's bringing her energetic flair to Hinata here. This show is an actual 3:00 (3:30 with the end credits), and that extra 30 seconds does make a bit of a difference. The CGI-heavy pan around the classroom at the start of the episode was a little odd, but otherwise it looked pretty nice. 8-bit can do some nice scenery work, and in a show about mountains, scenery is the entire point. Mostly just premise-setting so far, but there's a very clear goal in mind here - reach the mountaintop. Ideally while yodeling, like that guy on The Price is Right. The pacing was good, too.
Not bad for the first new show of the new season.
