That's a good thing. It shows that Okada is willing to try out different things. I only wish that she would branch out more by exploring ideas from outside the anime/manga/video game/light novel trap.

But if I've to compare ^ I say this series is the best, because it has a realistic feeling, something I can relate to and the portrayal of the Japanese life at a Inn, makes me feel like I'm there.

Canaan was an "okay" sequel to the Type-Moon novel 428 and it was better than anything DEEN has adapted Type-Moon wise (oh the pain of the Unlimited Blade Works movie). Not saying it was great though, which is much like I view HSI. I agree with Hourou Musuko being an excellent adaptation, though I'm not sure how much credit should be given to Okada for that. Would say more credit should be given to Ei Aoki (director) and Takako Shimura (original mangaka) imo. Which ranged from medicore to good, with 3 being utter garbage. Seriously though, I was massively disappointed that the approach taken from the first two episodes were pretty much ignored. What the opening two episodes portrayed to me was a coming of age story, where Ohana would initially go through hardship trying to fit after being "dumped" by her own mother but then eventually win over Sui, who is an "old-school, asian grandmother". What did we get instead? Typical anime light comedy and shenanigans with some of the most fail and pathetic male character cast I've seen. Granted, the Tokyo/Satsuki arc was also excellent as well as the last 4-5 episodes of the series, but this was countered by having a medicore to good majority of the 2nd cour as well. The series was at its best when it focused on Kissuiou and the main trio (Ohana, Minko, Nako) and if you're enjoy Okada's relationship trolling, the romance elements. The series was at its worst when it decided to waste so many episodes on side characters most people didn't even care about (Enishi being the worse offender, but also Yuina). It was jarring and inconsistent as heck and I don't think I've watched a series where I both simultaneously loved it and hated it at the same time. One moment, it's some of the best I've seen in the slice of life genre, other times I facepalm at how pathetic it is. Quote:

I think we're comparing series from different genres too much here. I think many of us hoped for a drama like True Tears but ended up with a slice of life with comedy and a little drama. However, this was a truly enjoyable series and while there were some "meh" episodes, it was still a fun watch that I looked forward to watching each week.
And True Tears is one of my favorite animes of all time and my favorite romance anime too. It is just a superb series on so many counts. Haha, sorry, my mistake. And yes, I remember the Hiromi poster. <3 Hiromi.

For the record, I liked episode 3 and I like the male cast as well - especially Ren and Enishi. There were only 4-5 weak-poor episodes in the whole run of the show, and that's not too bad a record for a 25-episode series. Quote:

Hourou Musuko is a very fine anime, but giving Okada-san credit is like giving credit to the delivery guy if your pizza was really good. Once the committee made the crucial decision about which parts of the manga to adapt, it was really all about the source material - the portions they adapted are very faithful and literal.
It's certainly fair to judge Okada based on her original series, and I suppose even to compare them - though True Tears and HanaIro are apples and oranges in terms of style and content. For the record, I consider both True Tears and AnoHana to be Okada's best work, and both to be far superior to HanaIro.

I was turned off by episode 11 and went on a 3-month hiatus. I'm glad I resumed. The story is solid until the very end. =)
I like Nako the most, followed by Yuina, Minko and Ohana, in that order. I like Nako's personality the most and Ohana's the least. Nako is so cute. (Incidentally, that is the order of bust size from largest to smallest. >_>;;;) |
