Synopsis

Born and raised in the countryside of Japan, Hinako "Hina" Sakuragi gets anxious easily when she talks to new people—so much so that she resembles a stiff scarecrow. To overcome this, Hina hopes to get involved in theater, inspired by a play she saw during her school's field trip. So, Hina moves into the Hitotose Manor in the bustling city of Tokyo to study at Fujiyama High School, aspiring to join the school's renowned theater club.

But to Hina's dismay, she learns that Fujiyama High's theater club has been on a lengthy hiatus. Having already come to Tokyo and enrolled in the school, Hina is at a loss for what to do next. Sensing her disappointment and eagerness to learn theater, Chiaki Hagino, the landlady of Hitotose Manor, encourages Hina to create a troupe with the residents of Hitotose Manor as its members.

Hinako Note follows Hina as she begins a new life in Tokyo attending Fujiyama High while learning the ropes of theater with the support of her friends along the way.

Story: 7 | Art: 7 | Sound: 7 | Character: 8 | Enjoyment: 7.5 | Overall: 7

A cute, fun and short comedy anime about a girl with anxiety who moves away from her farm to try doing live acting performances to make herself more confident. She stays with a few other girls who become friends and has a great time with them all.

Someone else who reviewed Hinako Note mentioned how this is great to watch when you've had a tiring day and stuff, which I much agree with. It was also great for helping me calm down before going to sleep or getting ready to ...

Mixed Feelings
Overall Score: 5/10 (Average)
Language Difficulty: JLPT N3
Usefulness for Learners: 7/10 (Good)
Enjoyability: 4/10

An anime based around a shy girl who moves to the city to perform in drama arts in order to become less shy, however not entertaining for most consumers which is why the enjoyability rating was on the lower side.

For language learning, generally it is quite slow and clear, making it excellent for beginners who are looking to start their first anime. The speech also has mostly casual and polite speech, used by many female speakers and is very natural in comparison to native Japanese.
However, there is almost little to no slang used. Most ...
