I've just started Minami-ke, and I have to say I also like the art in the first season better. It captures the comedy nature of the series just right. The art in Okawari, on the other hand, feels like eroge Too clean and polished.

Based on preview, it seem to me that Haruka's design make her look a bit older , or you can say maturer than the original . Like she was 20+ with a husband and few children.
I don't like it through Also, I don't like Kana's eyes on Okawari >_< Still, i hope for the best.

The first episode of Okawari wasn't exactly what i was expecting, but it had great moments, especially the second half with the onsen.
Spoiler for some thoughts on episode 01:
It was very enjoyable for a first episode with a little boost in animation plus not approaching the show with too much fan-service **cough** Rosario + Vampire **cough**. Anyway, it seems promising, but it is far from being perfect. It is quite noticeable that a new Studio is doing Okawari, but not to the point of completely straying away from the ‘winning formula’ of the first season. I’m definitely looking forward to the next episode, especially some subs since I didn’t get most of the dialogue. |

Still watching episode 1 of MKO...looks a bit different than the original MK...Kana's body figure looks so manly...Chiaki seems a bit more mature and violent? i think compared to Chiaki in MK...
The difference between MK and MKO is exactly just like Negima and Negima?!...the feeling that i get when watching MKO is totally different.Everything look so serious to me..... Agree. This kind of OP is totally weird i must say.Looks more like an emotional anime type of OP,or a battle/fighting anime type of OP.The song is okay to me,but the way they make the OP.....it just doesn't fit the series's genre perfectly. Lets see how the ending would be... |

The new OP is indeed weird, as others before me have pointed out. But for some reason, I find myself drawn to these types of openings that verge on symbolic territory. The music's not bad either.
Fujioka falling, Fujioka the bear flying, and...Hosaka being Hosaka. I'm ready for another season. |

Over all I found the first episode to be decent all things considered. The designs aren't bad, they're just different. At least that's how I feel. In any case my only complaint is they had to use that boring style of ending animation that some shows use... In any case I'll be re-watching this when the time comes and probably check out a bit more and perhaps all of it.

the new op kinda reminds me of genshiken 2's op, both in sound and visuals...
seeing haruka's flotation devices was really weird... they seem to be using the bgm of mk 1 and the additional bgm were also nice to hear... overall not a bad first ep, though the animation could have been improved... edit: kana and fujioka's reaction after the incident was pure lolz...

The only things I liked were the new OP and ED, as well as
Spoiler:
Overall, I liked the first episode of Minami-ke better than Minami-ke Okawari. I also noticed Chiaki's ahoge moves around a lot more, too. I'm not abandoning ship yet, but Okawari better really impress me next week and the week after...

The writers are doing a good job keeping the comedy in par with the first season. This is not a retelling but a continuation, as we pick up where the first season left. The animation is different and you can tell these animators know how to draw male body very well, they give our favorite crazy senpai a six pack in the opening. They give Kana and Chiaki some masculine shoulders while in the onsen and Kana benefits from some boost in the breasts size department this season. Chiaki Hige is not as cute as the one from the previous season, it is kind of too simple. Haruka also got a little upgrade in the chest. The girls' uncle also benefit from the animators ability to draw males very well, which is not a good thing because even though he is supposed to be a loser, he doesn't look it, he did look like a loser in the first season. |
