WHY does this anime have 7.20 score wtf are there really so many moe haters on MAL it's annoying cause if people rate something this good so low then how am I meant to find the really good series that have already aired.

I'm starting to understand more why some people completely ignore MAL scores when choosing an anime. It's just that I have no time to waste on anime that are bad and it's often best to look at stats. But now I'll have to factor in moe haters and preference for mindless action over cute SoL :/


Ignore the scores and just read the reviews, especially coming from those that seemed to like SoL series. If you factor in the pros and cons from the positive reviews, you'd generally get the idea of what the anime is about and what direction it took.

Also check the last episode discussion thread as people tend to give their initial impression there.

Tami and Yaya join! Naru's embarrassing speeches really are amazing! Good to see Hana all energetic as usual.

So many blushes and heartwarming moments. But I can't wait to see Machi completing the team HaNaYaMaTa. Yes.

Aniki is back! Great to see Tami motivated.

Tami with her hair down <3

Sally is hilarious, I like that laid-back attitude.

I loved how Tami's word had some effect on Yaya.

Sally x Aniki <3

Naru's voice is eargasm I swear. Her words just keep echoing in my mind.

Tbh I didn't expect Yaya to become this likable, I thought she would be the least likable girl but nah she is good.

The episodes just keep ending at the best part, I love Hanayamata so much <3 I just kept replaying the part where Naru made that speech, so beautiful. Everyone felt so alive this episode, I am a total fan now... Man, Madhouse is doing an amazing job at this, both the animation AND execution is just superb!

Tami is a lot cuter now that she's gotten over her issues! Hana is also still adorable. Looks like Naru has also been affected by the Yosakkoi bug! Only a matter of time before Machi ends up joining them so we can really have HaNaYaMaTa!

Any Playstation Vita owners here?
There's going to be a rhythm game for Hanayamata. Since vita games are region free I might think about importing... the language barrier though >_<

Don't know if I'm the only one who gets fed up this episode, but it appears to me that there is one problem with this ep: They're talking too much about how 'meaningful' or 'enjoyable' their activities are. It is bad to depict something as meaningful or enjoyable by letting the participants 'talk' about it.
And plus when talking about that, the girls' voice gets way too squeaky.

I agree with you to a certain extent. The pacing of their road to learning Yosakoi is a bit slow. Hopefully, now that they have the inspiration to get good enough to perform in the festival, we can start to see some proper dancing (still one member left to join though).

If they manage to make an episode that's on par with the first one, then I feel I'll be able to give this show an 8 rating.

7/10 for this episode.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

4/5

Episode that does not have anything so fabulous, if parlaimo of originality in the absolute sense, but the narrative, however, proves to be more pleasant for his sympathy and sweetness than anything else.
I do not know, but I could not be involved in the serious talk of girls.
They left me a bit indifferent.
Drawings and animations good, the best characters were Hana, Sally and Masaru!
However, this is not bad anime that talks about yosakoi, it seems to be serious.

Episode 5 was more lighthearted than Episode 4, but still had a somewhat serious undertone.

Is it me, or does Yaya seem to defer to Tami, whom she seems to admire, and will give in to Naru's imploring face. Yaya remains reluctant to participate in the Yosakoi club, but still tags along, I suspect due to Naru and Tami.

It was nice to see the girls out of uniform. Notice that Hana's outfit was the most childish, while Tami's was the most grown up.

Masaru was great this episode, gaining the nickname Sea Monk from Sally, but giving the girls an encouraging speech at the very end.

I like how Hana fell silent and emotional while watching the procession of dancers. It exposed a serious side to the hyperactive Gaijin.

Out of them all, Naru looks serious in participating Yosakoi festival and those encouraging words were beautiful

Ha - Hana
Na - Naru
Ya - Yaya
Ma - Last one left to join ( I guess You all will know who it's gonna be)
Ta - Tami

Better episode since it wasn't all drama-ish. The teacher and the store owner are, by far, the best characters.

Cute show but even for a moe one it's still overly wordy and sappy at times. Weird to see something akin to a stalling strat in a SOL.

I hope Yaya and teacher will be alright.. Because if they won't have any interest for longer time and it'll continue to be only burden for them.. They can quit.. Not sure if it'd be easy for teacher to do.. But Yaya is fully free to be part of club or not.. Liking Naru is fine, but is it enough?.. Well, will see with time..
Tami is hitting all the right places of Yaya.. Nice to see them getting closer.. Prince and princess.. ;P
Well.. That guy from shop is single, as we know.. So maybe they could talk with teacher.. As teacher is looking for relationships..
He is only 33, by the way.. He's not old..
And at 19:25 he blushed.. Teacher isn't too enthusiastic about it.. Well, things can change, they don't know each other too much..
Modern kimonos with short skirts also look cute, by the way.. Maybe if people feel strange wearing traditional ones casually, they really could wear modern ones then.. ;P
To deliver your feelings your way through yosakoi.. Sounds pretty nice.. Can make life overall pretty meaningful, it feels..
