It would certainly be interesting to see their reaction, if the two reached first-name-basis . |

I like the story so far. It is a nice, relaxing change of pace series for all the excitement this season has brought with its many action packed shows.

EroKing can see the ending About the series, it's been a nice watch so far. Someone compared it to Fortune Arterial on this thread some time ago, glad it wasn't anything like that.

I need more calm watches like this, I ran most of the past series like this dry. |

Unless you have a very restrict sense of what is considered SOL, I thought this year was full of slow pace, easy to follow series

Well, to be fair, this show isn't really a "slice of life" show. It's a romantic drama; it revolves around a central triggering event and has a developing plot that will result in a defined conclusion. That being said, it probably is the Japanese call "iyashikei" -- a "healing" anime, due to the calming, heartwarming tone of most of the episodes. Slice of life shows aren't the only ones that can be heartwarming.

Yes, I really wouldn't call this slice of life as it has very little in common with said genre aside from occurring in a semi-realistic setting (but if that was all it took to make a slice of life/sitcom, then every semi-non-fictitious show would be slice of life). The focus is different, there is an overall plot and arching subplots, and there are heavy underlying themes, motifs, and allusions in all of this. Its a fiction drama, slow and steady, that warms the heart because it doesn't set out to be thrilling, or cunning, but just simple and plain in its intentions to tell a story.

As for the drama in Romance-dramas: I am glad that there hasn't been any ("heavy") drama yet in the first five episodes. There are hints that it may start à la the uncertainty of Miu's kitty club future based on the dialogue of the school head and Miu, but other than that it has fortunately (for me at least) been calm. The inital heavy atmosphere with Airi was cleared and Ange's temporary down-feeling was resolved as well. This technically leaves only Sakuno and Miu for the inital drama phase to be "completed" .

Hoshizora was overlooked for it's weak story and character development and odd choice as the ending girl. Oddly enough i knew from the start that the hoshizora anime was doomed because i played the VN before the anime, i knew that none of the heroine's story stood out enough for an anime.
