Did anybody count how many of those colourful backgrounds with a face on the foreground did they use in the episode? The whole show has become so static because of that, as if there was not a single move of a camera... Very plain and boring. Simply put, the director/storyboarder just failed. Really hope the next episodes will be directed by somebody else.

Expectations were met and exceeded. This Looks better than the last season and it seemed funnier too. But that could just be because this was a Kanna episode.

Ah, had some good memories with this anime (especially the first season specially). Good to see more of it.
Now I want a kotatsu. Looks comfortable.
Looking forward to seeing Hosaka. His interactions with Maki (I think her name was) were very funny...

I found this episode fairly weak. The characters were't funny or charming enough to carry this otherwise unambitious show.


This story is a simple illustration of the three Minami sisters and the ordinary life they lead. Please don't expect too much from it.

That line was funny. No one can't say there were mislead by the show's premise or something...

minami-ke has to have the M-I-N-A-M-I-K-E chants on the OP theme and the trademarked triangle mouths. The art improved while retaining its style *cough hayate.* The new character is a nice addition to the ever interesting arsenal of side characters.

They finally introduced the Kanji of their first names!

Again I was disappointed by the fact that the season wasn't done by the same studio as season 1, but what can you do :/

However, it was a very decent episode. I found myself smiling here and there.
Even though there wasn't really any Hosaka screentime, his appearances in the OP will hold me off for now lol

I have to admit that Haruka having a tantrum is kinda cute, and, somewhat refreshing. But I would have overlooked all, well most of the things if they didn't get the art. It's the only thing I can't overlook, since I'm looking at it.

I hated the first episode of the fourth season.

The reasons you provided are precisely why I enjoyed it. It provided depth to the characters, preventing them from staying one-dimensional, showing that they have personalities beyond their designated archetypes. It also prevented the series from making the same jokes over and over again. Or rather, they served to put slight twists to to keep the old jokes alive.

I don't see their actions as being out of character. I see it as enhancing their existing charms.

I haven't watched this show's prequels so I can't compare it properly but from what I've seen, it's a relaxing show, depicting the comedic everyday life of the three Minami sisters.

Huh, watching it in the evening really gets you sleepy...

Watch the first season. Ignore the 2nd. 3rd is decent but this 4th one is the most similar to the 1st.

Funny that you're saying that. I was just about to ask if there's really a point in watching Minami-ke without prior knowledge of the first few seasons. Being a perfectionist I'll watch all of them, though. Still thanks for your post- just what I needed.

for the most part, I don't think it would matter, but to understand two of the supporting characters (Makoto and Touma), who will feature front and center in the next episode of Minami-ke Tadaima, you really should at least watch the first season first.

Well, the thing about slice-of-life series is not so much about continuity, but more on the fact that since you enjoyed a season, it would make sense to want to watch more of it anyway so...

Great introduction episode, but I can't wait for all the others to be back, especially Hosaka.
I'm so glad that this season's animation is good compared to the previous ones.
I'm looking forward to more.

Aaaaaaaand it's still not funny.

Who gave them the money for another season full of crap? The first season was brilliant, the second was one of the worst I've ever seen, and the third wasn't much better. What have they done to this show? Can't someone go back to season 1 and reboot that instead of funding this lame spin-off. It's nothing more than that.

Back to shows that don't make me almost fall asleep. Maybe I should rewatch season 1.

Disappointed. Not even remotely as good as season 1

Minami-ke Season 1 was just pure gold, by far one of the best comedy anime I have ever seen.

I don't think it will ever be that good again.

Either way, I hope this season is better than the disaster that was Season 2!

5/5

What a pity having to skip the entire saga of Minami-ke has come to the last season, because in my country there is still, the whole saga subtitled in Italian, I hope one day to happen.
How nice to see the three sisters after so many years.
As always it is pleasant narration SOL of this anime and the characters, they quickly found my favor.
Drawings reminiscent of the Character Design of the first season, animated very well.
The colors and the props are well drawn, the same can not be said of the scenery a bit more scarce.
The opening resembles that of the first series, very funny and catchy.
I can not wait to see the next episode.
For now, my vote is 7/10!

Dunno what to think. The characters behaved somewhat... strange. Also, why was Chiaki's bad conscience bigger than the good one?

I like the animation in this one definitely much better than S2 graphics, and better than S3 in my opinion. I don't know if I prefer S1 or S4 animation though.

I enjoyed this episode the opening by Chiaki was completely savage, as expected from her :P. I hope this season will be at least on par with S3 which for me was pretty enjoyable, but not as good as S1.

10:37 Grown up Chiaki the devil looks hot! Initially, I thought that was Haruka.
20:00 Haruka is so hot, especially when she unbuttons her blouse like that. Those boobies look delicious!
