Agreed!

I don't want to see the full animated version of Haruhi when I'm well over 30 years old. This is getting ridiculous.

You grumpy old dwarf! Heck, I'm over FORTY already!

In the meantime, all I can say is that the girl looks cute. She's kind of a mix of Mugi and Mio. What's that in her hand? And why is there a chicken on top of her head? |
And what's wrong with having a chicken on your head? Hmm?

I am eager to see any show from KyoAni, but I have to say that K-On was one that I abandoned after a few episodes. Much as I enjoy moe, there just wasn't much there there, for me. And this show is another original from the director and writer that made K-On. Hyouka and Chuunibyou are the KyoAni shows I have liked best since Haruhi I. |
Must admit that I really like mochi, and buy here in the US as well.
But am kinda surprised K-On didn't "click" with you. Hmm ... oh well. Diff folks have diff tastes and all that.

All I'm waiting for now is some animation footage, it should come soon enough since they don't have much time until air.

Also agreed! GuP, Aria and Tamayura are all enjoyable for me - Aria is my fave anime series overall, and the Tamayura series is a big fave as well. GuP is a delightful series thus far too.... And yes - I also enjoyed all the K-On material too (cough cough).

On the other side of the street is a rival rice cake shop owner and his son, Mochikura. Their fathers tend to fight like dogs and monkeys, but Mochikura and Tamako have been childhood friends. Mochikura has secretly given his heart to Tamako, but she hasn't recognized what he's doing. With both Mochikura and Midori in love with Tamako, there's often battles unfolding around her.
Tamako loves the other shopkeepers like they were her own family. She surrounds herself with a lot of people. Everyday is busy for the district, but the busiest time of the year is the end of the year. Oddly though, Tamako's birthday is New Years's Eve. Every year, the entire shopping district holds an event to congratulate her. The timing is awful for Mochikura, who wanted to give her a present up until now.
Mochikura is suddenly in high spirits. "This year I'll definitely do it!"
-At the same time that dazzling bird (cockatoo) suddenly appears in the shopping district. The shopping district is getting busier and busier for Tamako and pals. A different year than normal is about to begin.

Edit: summary has been pulled from Animax's site. Yaraon and otaku.com have confirmation it was up. |
I must say that I really like the description.
FINALLY I have come across a series next season that I am actively interested in!
Course, I tend to like a lot of things produced by KyoAni, so I'm biased too....
