Interesting episode...

Koharu is adapting more with her new life while she's coming up with more ideas to help tourism by trying to develop a website. She and the others are working decently together including Maki (the former inspiring actress).

I think this show has a slow yet tolerable pacing so far. Also really starting to like Koharu more with her role this episode. However, they need to improve their product and marketing as it isn't attracting much customers.

Really liking the dynamic that these 2 new characters are bringing to the gang, and I especially liked the characterization of "Oden Detective" xD

This was a pretty fun episode overall and even though Koharu failed her first job as the Queen, I think that she still can hold her head up high because she made some great friends because of it all

Also I found it to be funny how the Tokyo Girls freaked out over the bugs and Shiori the country girl stayed calm and was like "Really guys" xD Also that commercial was cheesy AF LOLOLOLOL...But other than that, these girls have a long road ahead if they're gonna make the town's tourism start to boom

Very nice followup episode, I really liked it.

Glad we got introduced to the rest of the characters and I'm liking all of them so far.

I so relate to the Tokyo Girls freaking out over the insects. Damn those annoying buggers, they just don't know how to mind their own business. XD

That commercial though, I was laughing. XD
Honestly though, they came up with the best idea for the commercial right at the very end when they started to eat the Manju. They should've just shown how all the ingredients from Manoyama come together to create a delight that can be enjoyed no matter the place and time. :3

Too bad that Yoshino failed her first task but I'm sure she'll pull through soon, it was nice to see her not mind staying a little longer for the cherry blossom viewing.

The ED is great. :D

The Queen already have her first task, a hard task. But gladly, she came to know more girls that came to help her doing the task. And somehow I find the funny part is when the girls trying to put the right word or symbol for the Promotion Queen.
The power of Advertising.

Fantastic episode! Feels, chemistry between the main chars, decent bgms used etc. Shame she didn't get to sell many boxes, but that's kinda expected haha. Loving the random dude at the end who said Manjus are scary and bought a box. Have a feeling that he might be a recurring gag of sorts.

Looking forward to next week!!

5/5

I like how realistic this show is. The first attempt of reeling in customers with an advertisement page. People watch the video but it's not enough for them to visit a place in the sticks basically. Also while it may have been charming (surely made me laugh), it was a bit amateurish as well. I'm sure, we'll get to see them improve with new ideas.

Again the second half was much better than the first half. The characters all came together.

Slow but appropriate follow up from last week. Really hope this goes 2 cour like Shirobako and Hanasaku Iroha, as these kinds of series really require the time for the characters to develop, as opposed to rushing through it in 1 cour.

That ending song though, absolutely beautiful.

Pretty chill watch all around. Not bad.
In the next episode preview the voice actor sounds like a native English speaker (when he said Mandrake he didn't say man-do-rei-ku he said it as an english speaker would), also sounds like its the blond guy with the harmonica; who is named Sandal-san on MAL. Maybe they are planning to have an English speaker who can actually speak English? Is he related to English-kun from Koutetsujou no Kabaneri?

WTF HAHAHHA. Too much bugs in her room and it looks like she didn't clean her room for a decades. I remembered when my T.H.E teacher said that if you don't clean your bed or your room, bugs will surely come and yeah I strongly agree xD

Sanae's character is pretty interesting and her room is so messy. Liked the fact that she was lying while writing her blog. Also the scene with the bug was fun to watch.

Overall, a great episode it was. Really enjoyed it. 4/5

It was amusing to see Yoshino and Sanae freak out at the sight of bugs, but for Shiori, she dealt with it like it was nothing. =D

Anyway, Yoshino's first quest as the queen failed pretty miserably, as they only sold 4 out of 1,000 boxes of those yummy-looking sweets. However, despite the failure of selling the boxes of sweets, Yoshino and the rest of the main girls got along really well and they definitely had fun in creating the new website to promote the event, as well as the small advertisement they did too.

That should be a good consolation prize for them. =)

The ED animation looked gorgeous and the song itself to go with it was relaxing. Looking forward to the next episode. =)

waow they are such a bad businessmen. the best way to sell souvenir snack is to sell it at stations. putting shitty Kappa monster ad won't make me go all the way to chupakadabra just to get some snack. you need real attraction and snack is just the accompaniment.

Selling the manju in the middle of nowhere was harder than the girls expected but still they managed to form a nice group together.
So maybe they might sell something.
Anyway it looks like Yoshino won't be going back to Tokyo.

Ah, the hidden seduction of Japanese SOL shows. You don't know why you watch, but you still watch and by the end you will be holding back tears about something :-)

Decent episode, good expansion of cast, looking forward to more of occult girl. But all 5 girls are developing nicely, even "hometown girl". I laughed when she picked up the centipede with the chopsticks and dropped into a can. Having had that experience before, I both sympathize with the city girls and respect the chops of a true "country girl". Imagine if the had rats, she would trap them in a bag and off them with a shovel.

Didn't make it far into Shirobako or Hanasaku Iroha, but really enjoying this one. May return to those two after this show ends. All the new girls are great. Maki and the beautiful(?) queen are pretty silly, and Sanae looks amazing.

The ED is so great, is there a full version of it? Also, this episode made me laugh a couple of times, the bug scenes and the commercials were hilarious! I really like the girls, favorite one so far is Riri.

I make a premise, although it will sound obvious enough: an anime, it is a thing in itself, you can not judge or compare just because it's made by the same animation studio, or by the director etc. This anime series, while sharing the animation studio, compared to the last work that has realized, has its own peculiarities. It will not be so interesting or beautiful as what Shirobako Hanasaku Iroha, the backgrounds, but manages to be cute, nice and have a realistic vein that makes it interesting. The characters are not well characterized, but already proved their temperamental inclinations. Moreover, even if it was not for all the characters, he amazed me the input of the Kouzuki Sanae character, with his appearance in the first and later, in his professional role, so if you want to say. Again, the work of the PA Works, it seemed impeccable, putting into place of beautiful designs, crowned with beautiful facial expressions and very smooth animations. While not a series of needing to see, it seems a very good product, I do not wait to see the next episode.
