Boku no Imouto wa "Osaka Okan"
Website Airing from December 21, 2012. Summary: Quote:
Too busy to have watched this myself, but seems like a short 3.5 minute SOL format. Hoping it has enough funny moments for me to enjoy. |

I never watched the Nyarko flash animations, which this is reminding me a lot of (both even have Kana Asumi in the lead roles), but it's fairly interesting. And educational. Plus, any show that ends every episode with a bathtime song is okay by me.

I swear the tune of that song is going to be repeating back in my head every time I watch this show. (Also, the switching of syllables threw off my search a bit, but I now know who Emiko Kaminuma is. These more specialized shows may not have as much impact overseas as they do in Japan, but learning about another culture is half the reason I got into anime in the first place.)

Anime shorts have been around for a long time, I think. But since CR started picking them up (and some of them started having premises or being adapted from manga I might be interested in, like most of Takeshobo's works or Teekyuu), they've risen to prominence in the overseas fanbase. It's more awareness than any sort of trend.

The series are really good in slice-of-life way. And then the imouto is quite adorable in every way.
Furthermore, even when my Japanese is as crappy as heck, her Osaka-ben is still amusing to listen to. What is her seal of approval again "Ten ga man wa na" ?

Namika's getting a little bolder in these episode intros. I do think the idea of an umbrella holder sounds pretty nifty. I live in a place known for large amounts of rain, so investing in one probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Listening to Namika and Kaede, I'm expecting them to start climbing mountains soon. Also, if anyone is still watching, two of the fried tofu rolls on the trivia card had the "Yaranaika?" faces. I did not expect to see that.

That umbrella holder isn't really an Osaka speciality. I saw them in Tokyo as well last summer. Maybe it's just a bit more common there or something.
For some reason the dialect just sounds so awesome to me. I always like hearing different dialects in anime. It's a shame they're so rare though. |
