That was really calm and relaxing. Interesting atmosphere built. I'll stick with it for now.
Edit: Some of the actual recipes shown in the anime/manga The studio is releasing them on their website since it's real food http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/commen...ussion/cnjnc0y Last edited by IceHism; 2015-01-09 at 15:33. |

CR announced (through an edit to the announcement post linked above) that the first ep will be available to Premium members Saturday January 10th, at 8 PM Pacific Time. I personally can't say much whether they would go back to Thursday for the rest of the cour, though.

That was very sweet. I like 'soothing' slice of life series, I'm just very surprised that Shaft is the one delivering it this season. That said, if there's one studio that can bring cross the idea that food can be 'sex on a plate', it's Shaft
It deserves at least my 3 ep trial. |

It's definitely not the typical SHAFT style you see in Bakemonogatari or even Hidamari Sketch. Still, it brings feelings of warmth and comfort, just like I expected it to be and just what I needed in this kind of cold weather where I'm at. The exchange between the almost scholarly chef Ryou and the enthusiastic tummy Kirin is so adorable I almost wanted to experience their culinary journey first-hand. (Too bad my cooking is practical, to say the least. )
The OP and ED are both adorable, but not as much as the two short ones played during the sponsors portion and the preview for the next episode.

My friend just told me that the composer for the OP song is Rasmus Faber, a Swedish guy who works as a Dj and pianist. I asked him "how does a Swedish guy end up creating a moe OP theme?" and he was like "that's what I'd like to know, too."
I checked his songs on soundcloud and I do sense the same kind of happy tunes as in the OP theme, if that makes any sense. At any rate it must be pretty cool to have the honor of producing in the anime industry, and for/with Sakamoto Maaya at that. Quote:
Also I just realized Nonaka Ai is voicing yet another aunt in yet another Shaft anime. Meme-san was Milf as hell. Akira-san isn't as high grade but still, neat coincidence.

Ep 01
Yep - I instantly recognized the voice of Nonoka Ai (the MC's aunt - Akira is her name, I think?) too ... in fact it made me giggle to myself. What a perfect choice in retrospect. The grandma's voice was also the voice of the Ichigo's grandma in Yumeiro Pattisiere - a perfect fit both there and here. (I also happen to love listening to her voice.) This ep was funny ... I was literally chuckling aloud repeatedly throughout the ep. I would not be surprised if I am prolly the only person in these forums who laughed so consistently thoughout, though. The facial expressions of both Ryou and Kirin were also ridiculously and crazily over-the-top - a sort of different emphasis rather than the usual head tilts and film noir camera angle styles Shaft has became famous for over the years. And of course as with many Kirara series there is plenty of d'aaawwwww present. ^^ As others have said I also enjoyed the OP and the ED - it is a very good happily silly and ridiculous harmony to the over-the-top facial expressions. The chibi charas rocking back and forth during the pv for the next ep while the singing of "doobie, doo wah" had me literally laughing out loud, though. It is nice to have a series you hoped would be good to deliver like the first ep did for me. Now where will it go from here, I wonder? Hopefully it will continue to be good!

Ryou sure knows how to turn eating into a fanservice moment . I could see that girl kicked out of restaurants for indecent eating .
Has my sympathies that she can't seem to cook very well when by herself. Although I guess that's not a huge deal, just needs to not end up alone . Not a bad first episode. Seems like it will be an easy show to relax and watch.

I think this is my favorite premier of the season so far in terms of new shows. Ryo & Kirin were loads of fun, and Kirin-chan was especially cute. Relaxing show of the season! Would cook for and feed.
The OP & ED were also fantastic imo. Did not look up too much info before the series aired so was very surprised on who composed the OP. Quote:

So I guess I'm gonna have to be that guy huh?
Well then let me be the first to say that I didn't really enjoy this premiere all that much. I'm not really a fan of pedestrian anime with moe girls to begin with and the cooking aspect just didn't have enough bite for me to be interested in it (excuse the pun XP). And it didn't take me long to realise that Rina Sato was badly miscast here: Her attempt at being quiet and soft spoken just ended up feeling unfitting and was grating to my ears. I'll give the show another chance provided I get the time, but there's a mountain load of shows I still want to watch so I don't think it'll happen.

I'm looking forward to this anime as I fancy things about food and how to make them. Not really used to Rina Sato doing such a soft spoken and timid heroine as it just sounds so weird. I usually like when she does the Onee-sama or Railgun archetype.
