OP of the season for now.
Great art, or rather wonderful. Best looking series of the season with Musaigen no Phantom World for now. Positive suprise. Comedy is actually pretty funny.

I don't get why mods deleted my post. I said that Funi's official subs are deleyed till late Sunday night or early Monday morning. Same as Dandelion's were.


Oh God why funi. They will kill the whole humour doing liberalisation to hamburger standards ://
I hope that Doki will sub this too.

Hotaru's chara design is great, but that's about it.

enjoyed the first ep. all of the characters were interesting and quirky outside of the MC. pacing was nice, really everything flowed smooth is the best way to describe it. with the premise i expected things to feel more forced. comedy was good for the most part but nothing special. definitely intrigued to see where this goes.

Title: Dagashi Kashi

Story: The story was quite fun, I thought it's tone was quite enjoyable and I'd very much like to see more.

Art: Beautiful character designs and backgrounds. The only thing slightly annoying was the MC's eyes.

Characters: Lots of basic bland stereotypical characters. They try hard to cover it up, but it just doesn't work out. Nevertheless, the characters were not specifically "bad"; the characters were just average and nothing special.

Music: The OP was sweet. Made me a bit hungry. The BG and ED were alright, nothing fantastic.

Enjoyment: I thought it was fun and I'd probably want to see more, but I don't see it anywhere near potential AotS (i.e. Boku Dake ga Inai Machi).

Verdict: 'Twas average.

Too bloody hyperactive. Ironically enough though considering this is a show about sweets it fits quite well. (Though I'm still not a huge fan of the hyperactivity)

Otherwise I liked it.

OP song is not too bad. ED song is alright as well.
The art is pretty nice and the character designs are good as well.
Hotaru is pretty eccentric and Kokonotsu's dad is pretty funny.
The candy shop looks very nice.
Lol Hotaru is already naked.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Man what a weak start. The episode was slow and boring and the comedy wasn't the least bit funny.

At least the atmosphere was pretty good (not annoyingly lively like I expected, but calm and sort of soothing in a way despite the loud characters)

Anyone noticed Hotaru's rinnegan? I cant stop staring at her eyes.
So we have a love battle between the tsundere childhood friend and the crazy new girl who will realize later that she has fallen in love with coconuts.
Def gonna watch it.

the manga is over a year old and there's like 5 hentai doujin already. for that reason, I'll give this anime a try, and also because of the high production quality.
I thought Ayana Taketatsu will voice the other girl, you know because she looks like Kirino.

Only for those ignorant of Japan.

The great charm of this show is how they lovingly highlight all the cheap candy that many foreigners have seen, but have never actual eaten. After power reading this manga and now watching the episodes, I am looking forward to my next visit to Japan. Even the native wife is now jonesing for Botan ame, I am going to eat everything, and the great joy in this will be that it will actual cost less than $20 to do so.

As a Japophile, I am really hoping that this franchise takes off, Dagashi is something that deserves government funding!

The art style is cool, I like it. And some pretty enjoyable stuff so far. Wonder if this'll actually have plot though. Not that comedy alone isn't bad.

This was really a great debut, art and scenery are excellent, and even the animation not being amazing, the plot and the characters are very good, really a great comedy, one of the most memorable moments however in my opinion was Kokonotsu talking "I will become a mangaka", this voice and speech brought me a lot of nostalgia (at the same moment I remembered of Bakuman), I look forward for the next episodes ..

Not impressed. I knew it was a comedy, but I wasn't expecting that kind of humor and executions. Also, I am pretty deceive by Hotaru... There too, I expected a weird/crazy chick, but in a more subtle way, not all over the place like this... Not a great fan of that first episode.

Dammit animation is so low budget, if that were the prob they should've made this half the normal length for an episode, since the manga chapters are short already. Can't believe even tho every chapter is like 10 pages long, they still skipped some content like wtf? Only thing that's doing the manga justice is Hotaru animated

Yeah this is what I'm talking about in terms of SOL shows,though they removed some parts from the manga I still enjoyed the hell out of it, Art is great don't know why they suck at creating those OP&ED art, Like the ED more than the OP but still fine for me, this show is just so well informative about the sweets thing so it's a plus for me, And Hotaru or Saya, please both will always be the answer :D can't wait for the next ep especially the Namaiku Beer part :D

That was just bullshit filler. The studio seem to think they have as good a sense of humor as Kotoyama, which they don't. Time they wasted on that they should have spent of the creepy back muscle scene.


Although I would not go so far, I do hope they keep the filler scenes to a minimum, especially when there are perfectly fine comedic panels from the manga that were not animated. (I was pretty disappointed when Hotaru did not transform to that super-deformed boss character during her speech).


Well there is a chance that the baki the grappler reference might be added in the following episodes.. If not then that's ok.

I'm quite shocked to see that many "meh/average" replies.
Best OP this season so far, wonderful artwork, wonderful char. design, outstanding voicing, enjoyable heroes and interaction between them, references all over the place, goddamit...
What else do you need, eh?

On a site note, dropped phantom world after this first episode. How comes you like it and dislike this one? Dagashi Kashi is better at literally every aspect (except big boobs). WTH, MAL?
