| Main eyes are on Nagomu for his responsibility. He seems like a chill dude although he seems to also have a sweet tooth. Itsuka is the other character to take notice for her friendly yet also somewhat intimidating personality. Kinda interesting to mix these two characters together in the story imo. Episode seems fine for what it is. |

| I'm surprised to see that Rin Asano's manga literally doesn't have a English translation, and this is 12 volumes in since 2016. For the first time in awhile, I can finally say that I liked Maaya Sakamoto's OP. It's really good, the comfy kind. Male MC Nagomu Irino has the feel of Mashiro no Oto's Setsu Sawamura being that he's a musician whom ran away from his family to pursue his music career for 10 years, though that didn't really amount to anything. That's the similarities end. For the female MC Itsuka Yukihira, other than newbie Seiyuu Kozue Yuuki landing this as her very first VA gig, she's a 10-year-old whom Nagomu's father Heigo wants her to inherit Ryokushou, the Irino wagashi a.k.a sweets business of the family shop. It's sad that she was abandoned by her parents, yet be so brave in the face of adversity, and this is even for a 10-year old. Being in the wagashi business, impeccable business is required, and orders can sometimes be pranked like that which forces their hand and test's one's perseverance. And Nagomu's ad-lib of a gig really helped them out. Another comfy series, of which now there are 2. This really has the Mashiro no Oto feel, though it's closer to Usagi Drop of a parent-child relationship. Deaimon, or "Recipe for Happiness". I really like the title metaphor. |

| That was a really nice and comfy start. I like the atmosphere and characters a lot. Itsuka is such an endearing and hard-working girl. That newbie VA did a very good job with her character. Nagomu's performance was amusing. |

| Seems like a a nice anime and it looked like it had a happy feeling to it tho the history of the characters is pretty dark. I wonder what this anime will show us over the season but so far i am liking it. Maybe it's about moving forward or learning to live with each other, i hope it's something along those lines. |
| You know, if i was a son of a shop owner, and i came back after 10 years to be the successors, only to realize that some random girl is there to replace me ... ill be kinda pissed xD Tho it seems that this is another one of those shows thatll show us that the most importand ingredience that goes into a wagashi, is life. And im here for it. Also nice OP. |
 |
| Japanese wagashi is not only a food but also a form of art that has been developed and refined for over one thousand years. Being a professional wagashi chef is not that easy, it takes years and years of training. So, it will be a long time for both Nagomu and Itsuka to train to be a real successors. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| This guy knows how to sell his sweets xD Nice start. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| My favourite episode today. I was smiling like an idiot at how wholesome the relationship between the two is. A tsundere daughter is certainly an idea that's new to me. There's another father-daughter relationship I'm looking forward to as well. Thorough enjoyed the premiere. I expect them to touch upon the themes of responsibility and expectations. |
 |
| Pretty nice first episode. A mix of Tamako Market and Usagi Drop? I’ll take that any day. That’s a mean prank to play but thankfully it worked out. Looks like the bonding was off to a rocky start but I’m sure it’ll get better from here on. Decent Op and ED. |

| Great episode! Nagomu returns to the sweet shop he left after 10 years and finds there is a young 10 year old girl named Itsuka who will inherit the shop instead of him xD. ITSUKA IS SO KYUTE KYUTE KYUTE! AS RENA WOULD SAY OMOCHIKAERI! This is an awesomely KAWAII show! Looking forward to the next episode! |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| A really good start, Itsuka is already my girl of the season, nice! |
| Truly great premiere episode. So many themes to deal in a single episode. Abandonment issues, shattered dreams and adressing legacy all folded up in a sweet and comedic paste, just like a manju. |
| Good start, enjoyed it. Nagomu is around 30ish - left school at 18, maybe messed around for a couple of years and left for 10 - so he could be a parental aged figure for Itsuka, might do them both good especially his immaturity and help him be more responsible. I do like their dynamic so far Its really sad that she was just abandoned like that and what her father said- she reminds me of Frederika from 86, mainly the voice Yuuki, Kozue is doing well for her first credited role |
| The first episode is good, wholesome with a little bit of comedy & sadness, the OP & ED music is good though simple. |
| Favorite show of the season so far, love the interactions between the characters! |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| I really wasn't aware of this show until a few days ago when I watched a bit of the PV and thought I might like it. Well, I loved this first episode. The only thing that's kind of weird, is that Nagumo looks and feels more like an older brother than a father figure. Other than that, I can see this show being one of my favorite of the season. Looking forward to more. |
| this should be good |
| The background art is amazing, just gonna throw that out first. If that isn't a clear AOTS candidate already, idk what is. Love Nagomu already, he's such a goofball :D |
| Great premier! I'm glad they got a lot out of the way basically immediately. Like what Nagumo's and Itsuka's roles are going to be. We know (basically) who is Itsuka's father as well which means we will most likely deal with that Ass clown by the end of this series. Honestly a great start! I think this has a strong chance for AOTS |

| Wow. Great start. It surpassed my expectations by far. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Yes this is probably going to be THE feel-good anime of the season. I knew this was something I wanted to watch within the first five minutes. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Well, it wasn't hard to piece together that Itsuka wanted people who follow their responsibilities so that she doesn't end up on the worse end of life. This episode was so-so, nothing really grabs my attention, but I can live with it for the time being lol. Pretty relaxing so far. |
| Episode 1 and I'm already liking the male MC a hella lot. He's carefree yet not totally irresponsible and actually hardworking when the time needs it. Totally my kind of MC. Great start overall. The episode tackled so many deep topics in such a natural way it actually left me feeling quite impressed. Props to the director in that regard. |
| It's being compared to usagi drop, can anyone please tell me that it does NOT end the same way? |

| Sweet and wholesome - first impressions. P.S Those smoking bastards pranked the poor girl most certainly... I knew they would have their "revenge" somehow. |
| I told everyone in a post that this will be in the surprise of the season... Slice of Life fans are gonna love this anime. The ending song was well composed and compliments the pacing of the anime.. Beautiful Kyoto scenery, emphasize on beautiful kyoto.. Kyoto is so much more beautiful than Tokyo... you'd know what i mean if you visit both.. The settings of the anime is also similar to a J-drama Fukuyadou Honpo: Kyoto Love Story which is also about life and sweet shop... I'm looking forward to watching it ... A father daughter bond will grow between two strangers... This is such a heartwarming story.. |

Yes it was those delinquents at least they weren't drinking.. I've seen with some enjoy sweets with tea and secretly add some saki from flask into their tea in other japanese movies and drama.. They should have verified the address and rang back next morning.. |

| Cosy first episode, looking forward to more wholesomeness |
| Usagi Drop done right? Has the manga industry evolved? Is this the prophesied New Gen? |
ahan5 said: Funny, had the same impression. Was surprised there's no connection though: different studio, different director and so on.feel like the same animation style as tsuki ga kirei, I really like it |
| Already know I'm gonna love this. Seeing Shield Hero S2 with .4 higher in score is kinda hilarious ngl... Let's hope no funny business happens later down the track, like in a certain manga lol His senpai at school is her Father that taught him guitar? Seems to be a possible revelation later on... Japanese sweets always look very good in anime, would like to try some one day.... |

| This might be the wholesome SoL anime I've been looking for this season. Very excited for this and episode 1 did not disappoint. Can't wait for ep 2 and Reon |

| Wholesome and great start. It gives Barakamon vibes which is good SOL series |

| Someone really needs to tell the artists that lighting is not just slapping a white polygon on cheeks. It looks super weird and it's in almost every shot of a character's face. I will say that the weepily sentimental OP was fairly soothing after the cacophony that has been the rest of this season. Unfortunately, there's still also a lot of screaming-as-a-joke stuff, not to mention two of the characters introduced are spiteful jackasses. Weirdly, that includes the kid. How dare anybody leave the house and try to find a life for their own, and then come back when they heard their parents were in trouble. The nerve! The father is just plain abusive out of pure spite. Both get in the way of the mushy overtones that the show is clearly going for. Other than those few bits of weirdness, I suppose it's mostly fine, but I'm personally already fairly bored of it. It's definitely only sufficiently animated at best, and there's no real story, nor are the characters all that compelling. The greatest conflict in the episode was the kid taking a large order that didn't exist (and nobody verified, of course), but even that was introduced and resolved in about a two minute span by Trying Their Best. Just a relatively prosaic slice of life melodrama. Better than actively irritating me, but still not something that stands out from the pack or gives much of an argument to watch. |
benren said: What are you talking about? Usagi Drop is a purely wholesome anime, where no one would ever do anything to ruin such a nice WHOLESOME dynamic. There's no other source besides the anime to contradict that, couldn't possibly exist! What a great ORIGINAL anime series!It's being compared to usagi drop, can anyone please tell me that it does NOT end the same way? |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I loved this, the Spring season ripe with SoLs gives us another banger, this was a great first episode. I already really like Nagomu as an MC, love how outgoing he is and how sentimental he gets when it comes to the sweets they make, and paired with Itsuka it’s a definite power combo of wholesome, one of several power combos this season. I also really love the art, really brings a lot of life to this show. I also totally called that big order was a prank from those jerks from earlier in the episode (not hard to call but I’ll take credit anyway) pretty sad moment but it was turned into a very nice moment when Nagomu busted out the chestnut head and guitar. The OP and ED were great too, there’s a lot to love in this show. I’m 100% looking forward to more of this, definitely a great addition to the SoLs this season. |

| Something about this anime is giving me a mood that I'm really liking. It's comfy. The backgrounds are pretty. And the dialect is nice to listen to. |
I suppose Deaimon got approval from these girls: |
