| This is cute. Kind of hurts my brain though having to read multiple lines of subtitles at once and I am legitimately trying to carefully listen to this "accent" (it's really more a dialect isn't it?). At least I'm learning some things about Okinawa, though of course I am sure it is exaggerated lol Both girls are cute. AkeZZZ said: This D&M Okinawa Juice can was probably modeled after an A&W rootbeer can. Fun fact: Okinawa is the only prefecture in Japan that still has A&W Restaurant. I'm surprised they have one at all. Had to look into it, it's there because American military bases. Japanese people still often cant stand rootbeer because it reminds them of medicine. Funny how association works. |

| this feels like one hell of an anime to translate/localize... the fansub I watched opted for keep all the dialect words/expressions untranslated... it works, since the main character don't understand what she say anyways, but I think official translation or dub wouldn't allow themselves to do this, lol anyway, the episode was fun, the characters are enjoyable... kudos for the Eva reference... will follow |
| What I do know is that Teru has fallen in love with Hina and Kana who clearly loves Teru, it's clear and certain that this will be a love triangle. Well, a good start, the story that is definitely set in the island of Okinawa with their distinctive language accent makes this interesting. Hina and Kana are typical girls with different personalities, but seeing Hina and Kana like that I'm curious about what will happen to the three of them in the future.  |

@Ryssen how diverse/creative are the gags in the source? I loved the segments but I feel like the language barrier topic could get exhausting if one doesn't engage in learning the language
| @Gween_Gween there won't be a big divergence from episode 1 if that's what you're asking. All the jokes are based on cultural or language differences. |
| Could have been good but turned out to be brainrot. FMC was annoying and the female side character was 10 times better. |
 |
| Man, that was non-stop. I don't know if I'd call it good per se, but I certainly enjoyed every minute of it. Some of my favourite thoughts while I was watching were - The opening shows iconic okinawa things but also moai heads? Not sure if this will be explained or if they just thought the audience would not question it - Everyone is a pleasant shade of golden brown, except it often kind of looks like a sickly green. - The character art style looks like a hentai - The unintelligible okinawa dialect cold opening brings me joy, that japanese people should have to experience watching anime as I do - Did not expect the zombieland saga reference - BULLFIGHTING?! - breakneck pace here - An evangelion reference too? I wonder how many other references I am missing |
AkeZZZ said: Haha! Out of curiosity I looked up the full name of the Okinawan girl from Princess Connect: Kyan Kaori. https://myanimelist.net/character/205574/KaoriThe Kanata’s beach from Harukana Receive and the beach from the first episode where they met the bull was the same actual one, Gushikawa Beach. And looking at Kanata’s surname, it’s also Higa! Also:   The top two subtitles are the wrong way around, aren't they? Is this Crunchyroll's work? As I understand it, the bottom subtitle is something Japanese readers can read and understand, while the pink subtitle above it is one they can read, but maybe not understand, because it's Okinawan written in hiragana? (These two are part of the original video track.) |

Not sure if this will be explained or if they just thought the audience would not question it Moai (模合) is a traditional social support groups in Okinawa. And, it's rhythm with that famous Moai 🗿. So... It is a wordplay. And, bullfighting is also a thing in Okinawa, it's called Ushiorase. Takata said: The top two subtitles are the wrong way around, aren't they? Is this Crunchyroll's work?

(These two are part of the original video track.) yeah... The smaller white subtitles are the standard Japanese. While the pink ones are the Okinawan ones where you can read but may not understand their meanings. |

I was looking forward to this, but those CR sometimes-subs are tragic... would love for it to get a better treatment
| @MiaAyende I'm curious why you call it tragic. I've definitely seen worse from CR but whatever team is doing it, I think their format is pretty spot on. + Honorifics + Uchinaaguchi left untranslated but readable as to reflect the confusion. + Lack of Localization ~ Naming convention is TBD as I don't recall any full name being spoken, I prefer it as spoken; Family(Last) > Given(First). When CR does bad enough, I tend to look for alternative but this release didn't reach that level in the slightest |

| @Hibiki_Ganaha When I have to pull out my phone to translate some untranslated text multiple times in the same ep, it makes me grumpy... and this wasn't the first show this season that's happened. Thus, "sometimes subs"...because sometimes, they're actually there. |

| @MiaAyende Hmm we might be watching different sources. I just assumed SubsPlease has been ripping from CR. My bad The one I watched had romanji for the uchinaaguchi whenever Teru doesn't understand |
| This was very entertaining, his interactions with Hina are pretty funny. The excessive hospitality from everyone there is also pretty funny to watch, he got swamped with food from everyone and also the people because of their names. |

I can confirm, SubsPlease uses the same translation as Crunchyroll, except for a bit around 5:00 which Crunchyroll had subtitles for, but SubsPlease did not. |
| I loved this a ton. Learning about Okinawa culture was really interesting and the anime is really beautiful! And a bunch of tan Waifus, my favorite! This is a Rom Com done right. |
| This was not what I was expecting. It feels that the real fmc is Kana and she deserves better. Hopefully mc’s feelings change. As for me he comedy, I didn’t really find it funny tbh |
| I really want to like it... the characters are cute, some of the gags were amusing... but visually the subtitling is a mess with the giant hiragana subs everywhere for the okinawan dialect, and the whole thing feels kinda like a 4-koma tourism board ad :( I think I'm looking for a bit more rom and a bit less com, and I'm not going to find it here. |
 |
| Okinawa, an interesting place. I was curious about this anime, I liked the first chapter. Hina and Kana are very cute. The opening and ending were very good. Pd: Very good references xD   The references: |
| It was a lot of fun watching this episode. I started watching it because of the protagonist who is similar to another girl from a romance anime that I won't mention. Even though I'm not a big fan of love triangles, I hope the anime evolves well. There's a character named Agena that I liked, but I don't think she'll appear much in the anime. Kana or Hina... Hard question. |
Reply to Mari_Marx
Here is one of Nagatoro and Senpai's daughters😅 .
| @Mari_Marx I start the anime for this reason |
| Mmmm, this wasn't bad, but it was really weird, and really boring honestly. The extremely simplistic animation, the art style and colors... this looks like a generic cheap hentai lol For being the 1st episode I already liked Hina way more than Higa, but she knows how to speak proper japanese, yet she prefers to speak with this weird dialect not caring about people not understanding her, that's kinda mean and overly selfish. I don't really like that we had no real introduction, like why the protagonist came to Okinawa in the 1st place, how and why he fell in love with Hina, or why Higa fell in love with him, idk if that will be covered in a future episode, it probably will, but it already hurts this show because we can't really feel anything for characters that aren't properly introduced, or at least I can't, this is a fkng SoL after all, the characters are all that it has. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| This one’s not for me. I couldn’t even finish the first episode. At least it has a decent following of people that are enjoying it. Hope you all enjoy it this season. |
 |
| Opening is adorable. Seems fun. |
| it's cute, but the gimmick becomes redundant halfway through first ep. Anyway, I think this "embarrassment p0rn" comedy, where they pretend the world is more retarded than it is, just so the MC ends up in the most embarrassing situation possible for comedic effect is kind of wearing down on me. Kana is cute tho, the other, dialect-demon, not so much. |
| I was looking forward for this one, but watching it made me feel like the format wasn't properly translated to the anime adaptation. An explanation that is just a sidebox in the manga is 30 seconds of stillness with a narrator explaning things. While some anime have managed to pull it off correctly, sadly it is not the case with this one. I guess I'll just go read the manga |
| higa kana on the list one of the best girls that always get cucks in animes |
| Boring. Also too bright and colorful. Everyone in this anime is somehow too energetic and expressive. Idk maybe Okinawa people are really like that lol. I liked tanned shy gyaru, but loli is annoying. And all others are annoying. Like, what kind of circus happened on the street? Its weird and not funny. And all these jokes about accent... for japanese viewers its probably funny, but im bored |
| Not much story to speak of, more like an advert for Okinawa. I feel like I have learnt cultural facts rather than enjoyed a romcom. It's not the end of the world, but I hope they find a better balance moving forward. |
| God damn another 12 episodes of a 24-minute touristic commercial that I will eat up like candy. I need to finally go to Okinawa one day. Also, ZOMBIE LAND SAGA MENTIONED TWICE!!! IT'S STILL ALIVE DEAD! |
 |
| very wholesome I love it Hina is a grandma lol that ending song felt very nostalgic, like something I had listened to in the mid 2000s |

| One of the best I've seen this season. By the way, the main character is identical to Glenn Litbeit from “Monster Girl Doctor.” |

| This anime is a very interesting concept escpially since its inside of Japan, The MC reminds me of miss nagatoro looks wise and i kind of enjoy there bond and they've decided to make it so this time there is a losing heroine i wonder which one it will be this time round. It was nice to see the sata andagii part aswell. |
| Bro is gonna have sata andagi for life. This is a dream come true for any transfer student, like Okinawan people are so welcoming and sweet. I bet that’s true in real life too. The anime’s quality isn’t bad, but the music is really good. This is more about experiencing Okinawan culture and enjoying the interactions with its people. |
