(CR) Hinamatsuri

[Nivek von Beldo]

This series was such rollercoaster of the comical Hina-Hitomi and now the seirous Anzu, this one was the biggest, for a time i thought the whole nitta might be yazuka but was just Yakafumi and all the lies to end in another lie but seems Yakafumi consider Nitta her daugther now.

The Second part was well played drama, nice for Anzu and a shame what happened to the rest of the homeless but as they said, at least hace each other memories.

This series is so amazing , waiting next chapter

[Wandering Soul]

Both Hina and Anzu have been formally inducted into a family. Hina has been accepted as part of Nitta's family and Anzu has found a new home, but the lessons from those homeless people will live on. This episode didn't have too many laughs, but it made up for them with some feels.

I couldn't decide who the best girl was until now. It was either Hitomi or Anzu, but after this week, I think Anzu will stay in the lead. She is such a kind-hearted girl. I was sad she had to say farewell to her homeless friends, but also glad she was taken in by some very nice people. The ending of this story was truly heartwarming. The homeless taught Anzu many things she will never forget, and she gave them warmth in return.

The first half was nice too, but the second half totally eclipsed it.

Totally agree. I really wasn't expecting to like Anzu as much as I do now after she first showed up. But her character growth really took off, especially after she ended up with those homeless people. It's always nice when a show subverts your expectations in a good way.

[Guardian Enzo]

That B-part stunned me. I'm almost speechless.

[Gan_HOPE326]

I was wondering at the beginning of the episode, watching the OP, how would Anzu go from homeless girl to working in a restaurant, and here we go. The second half was really good and got a few tears out of me. It was nice to see that working was fully her choice, when she could have done otherwise, just as a way to keep living by the values she has learned and keep them alive.

[Psyco Diver]

Well dang I thought this was going to stay as a dry slap stick comedy but here they are trying to beat tears out of me with the baseball bat of feelings.

I will say this, this show is very well written and directed, especially scene direction. The scenes proper good punch lines and climaxes with thought out build up for each arc.

It's slightly bothered me they skipped a lot part especially the school and yakuza, actually Anzu supposed had once enrolled to school when still homeless now since she with her new family then that story might will not appear in anime.

I think you have that backwards. Anzu's first visit to the school was after she started working at the restaurant, not when she was still homeless.

They are skipping a lot of the school and yakuza stories, though, though we did still get a little of the school stuff with the "detective story" and some of her friends finding out about where Hitomi worked. There's some great bits in those chapters, but we can't really expect not to lose some of them when it's running just 12 episodes.

Instead, we focus on the main stories: Hina, Nitta, Anzu, and Hitomi. Anzu and Hitomi are definitely "best girls", though for completely different reasons. But if a director has to narrow the story focus down, it's obvious which bits are going to remain at the forefront. It's only uncertain which of the side stories end up getting cut for time, and which are still included because they help support the main storylines. There's some really hilarious ones that we probably won't get to see because they aren't part of the core elements.

[Side-streetdog]

I'm not sure if anime make a right move on this series.
Too much focus on drama-side of series in these first 6 episodes
People who never read manga may misunderstand this series as drama.
It's mainly comedy and less drama materials in latter chapter.
If its go on in this direction. It's likely has original content in few last episodes.
Still hope they will do America chapter.

[MgMaster]

^Nah, I haven't read the manga and I'm welcoming such emotion toying episodes, while never forgetting it's mainly a comedy. At best one would consider it somewhat of a 50-50 due to the split nature of the more recent eps but even then there's usually some comedic moments spread throughout the more serious,dramatic other half of an ep(not this one though).

[eceso]

loving this show

the 2nd half was so emotional

[Guardian Enzo]

As an anime-only watcher, it would never have occurred to me to say the anime was being too serious. For me the balance has been close to perfect.

[Gan_HOPE326]

Yeah, the drama may stick more, but the first half of the episode has still effectively been about a yakuza thug making up stories to look like he was hiding from his mother the fact he has a secret daughter to actually hide the fact that she's a telekinetic girl who appeared from a different dimension. If anything, it mostly depends on who appears. All Anzu chapters tend to be more serious, so I guess some more comedy involving her would be nice, but Hina and Hitomi are consistently hilarious.

[Stark700]

This show has the best reaction faces this season lol



Glad to see Anzu doing well with her new life. Hina's speech in front of the school was priceless.

[Lukes YGO & WS on YT]

Spoiler for Episode 7 Comments/Feedback:

Anzu is doing a great job trying to learn how to work at that place.

Her interactions when Nitta was there were funny, he doesn't have to tell us twice that Anzu is the complete opposite of Hina.

That whole student council part was very entertaining to watch, why am I not surprised that Hitomi ended up doing Hina's job.

OUCH! lol this episode is too damn funny, I'm hurting from laughing too much.

Well at least he actually got the date regardless of the outcome, Hina managed to give him a chance.

[BWTraveller]

Anzu was gold again, a beautiful mix of funny and sweet. And that reaction when her new dad said their customers were "gods"...

I wonder how long it'll take Hitomi to realize Hina has powers, considering that Hina apparently uses her hand to secretly express her frustrations.

[Nivek von Beldo]

This chapter was goddamn funny, from the Student Council to Nitta and Utako date, and Anzu like always being a love.


And next chapter, the same Hina...that will be funny

[Mad Pierrot]

Anzu's part felt a bit short but I liked the slow build up Hina is having. The whole "I want to have a mom" thing confused me a lot XD

[grecefar]

Nitta can do way better than utako.
