Focus on boys' youth, Indian guy and his pet duck named Tapioca, Aliens, Fishing, Boy meets Alien boy, noitaminA, A-1 Pictures, one-quarter French boy, fishs ( & Betta fish ), Fat cat ( I love fat cat ), Miyu Irino playing other genki boy, fishing to save the world? What more I can ask for?
I bet Chizuru long lost cousin is Haru or maybe in different universe Chizuru is Haru lol Coco, Misaki and Yuki's grandma seem like interesting characters too but not sure other two girls. Btw is it too soon to shipped Arika and Tapioca?????

This anime was pretty weird and fun. Almost surprising that both Noitamina series are about an outcast guy befriending another strange male, yet both of them are extremely different. I wasn't planning on it (as I just heard about this anime), but I might stick with this one.

Damn it Japan, why are you trying to kill me? Too many good shows this season - and this another triumph for NoitaminA. What a perfect foil for Sakamichi - equally compelling but totally different. I think what's really fascinating here is that while this is still distinctly Nakamura - surrealistic, intellectual, visually creative - it's his most human work by far, for me. I think what he's done here is taken every teenaged boy neuroses and idiosyncrasy and built a farcical anime around it. Being stared at, voice breaking, the rising wall of water... How interesting that in both NoitaminA shows we have MCs who are subject to panic attacks, and each director finds a clever but totally different way to bring it to life on screen. A great cast obviously, but Ohsaka Ryota is the surprise for me. He's little-known but this is a very endearing performance. I loved everything about that first day in Enoshima - the scene on the train (I've had that dilemma before), the cracking of the voice, running around the new house excitedly checking out every room, Googling everything he sees on his smartphone.... Wonderful stuff. NoitaminA, back at the epicenter of quality anime where it belongs. What a great decision to turn the block over to auteurs - their love of the craft and talent really shines through. From the worst NoitaminA ever, to one of the best.

Wasn't expecting this, but that was pretty good. Liked the art, Irino Miyo fit perfectly for Haru. I'm guessing the whole save the world thing has to do with the preliminary story they showed. I hope we get more screen time for Tapioca.
