hmm... A guy goes back on a train to a town he once lived, had a special relationship with a shy girl with blueish purple hair who became a shrine maiden, did not realize who she was, but she knew who he was...

Reminds me of Myself; Yourself. And Ui is just like Aoi (and their names sound similar too)

I find this series quite pleasing; it's not the kind of anime that will have a lasting impact, but it is light and has a cheery mood, relieveing stress. And the references are always fun.

WTF?? I haven't seen Shuffle in years
haha xD
I pity those who don't re-watch Shuffle since it did come out in BD, oh well at least Oosran did. Seriously the girls just remind me of the following:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/4744/Akane-iro_ni_Somaru_Saka
just please no stupid stuff like mecha. Drama and drama please.


Oh God no. I don't think any harem series can be as bad as AkaSaka. I have hopes for this one, I'm hoping it'll be like Fortune Arterial only with a lot more focus on a story instead and a lot more drama as opposed to constant casual interactions (even though Fortune Arterial, personally, really performed well as a slice-of-life series).
Oh please if anything it could be the following:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/2926/Myself_;_Yourself
or perhaps it may be:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/1965/sola
or even something like the following:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/3299/H2O:_Footprints_in_the_Sand
regardless the girl designs still remind me of Akane.

Oh god, this is so terribly... terribly... generic. Why... Just why...? ;_;

Also, very subtle OreImo and Kaminomi references in this episode.Very subtle.
I'm just hoping this will end up being like Myself;Yourself or, even better, School Days!

AND OH MY GOD, DID WE SERIOUSLY GET A SHOUTA NIPPLE FANSERVICE SCENE. WHAT THE FUCK MAN.

And that ED makes my ears explode.

I don't know if we're going to get anything heavy like Myself ; Yourself for drama as this is starting off pretty light. On the other hand, so did Madoka up until episode three. The story seems pretty weak thus far but I like the animation on the female characters. It just feels like we're setting flags as we move through this--makes me want to play the original game.
Please don't feed the trolls!

----------------------------------------
Everything start good, this anime got some simliar feeling from somewhere.
Kazuma doesn't seem to remember that girl that time they make the promise.
Madoka is the one, can already predict that becuase she were a bit shocked to see him again.
But unfortunely Kazuma doesn't seem to remember her.
Next episode we will see more of Madoka. :D
And who is Koyori ?
She also came up in the previews. :D

Ui eat a lot for lunch and the big icecreams.
Hehe ^_^


i wonder how Ui eats like a horse and never gets fat?

Too much food for Ui seemed crazy but her eating it was cute, rather than that the flow of this series is alright and pretty standard like any other harem series but i really hope that is won't turn into something like school days.

I wonder if this is gonna be one of those restart animes where each girl gets like 3 episodes? If its not gonna be one of those my guess is the guy is gonna to end up with Ui (because she was in the first and theres clear romance) or Madoka (because shes the girl from his past)? but its still to early to tell the answer for both those questions

Or he's not going to end up with anyone. >.> In Fortune Arterial Kouhei and Erika were very close and it was clear that they both like each other and yet everyone remained as friends. I hope he ends up with Madoka.

most likely he will end up with her either way.

While the first episode had me interested enough to keep watching, this one is a disappointment, really. While it's not horrible at all, the problem is - nothing interesting happens. It's a tour around the village and a little bit of stuff at school, but the plot doesn't progress forward and no characters are really developed. It was boring most of the times.

I liked all the humor involving Ui though, her eating habits and so on, she's damn cute! Madoka is also introduced, but don't see much of her, so I hope next time we will.

Apart from what I've already mentioned above, another thing I've found stupid and unnecessary is the shota fan service, what the heck?

Ibuki has the hots for ui like you wouldn't believe.

Meanwhile Ui has a brother complex from here to next week.

When Kazuma picks up ayumu I found that moment funny. I like to think that Ayumu will one day tell the story of this, listing it as the moment when he realized he would never be as pimp as his onee-chan. "Seriously" he'll say "I walk over and find he's picked up three chicks since morning and all I got is pity from one of their younger sisters" lol.

It does seem to be pretty quickly progressing towards the Ayumu ending XD

Goddamn. Ayumu couldn't be cuter if he tried.

I've never seen so many cliché characters in one anime in my life. It wasn't an absolutely terrible episode though. The references to other anime were funny. XD


Yeah the first episode had a shitload of clichés and we got even more in the second episode, nonetheless i am enjoying this anime so far, all the characters are amazing, looks like ui has a brother complex too.

I really have no idea why I'm continuing to watch this, it's so generic it hurts.
And the OP, just why.

Anyway, in this episode, Kazuma goes to school, only to find that he was placed in the same class as Ui (who has the back window seat, I might add.) and Ibuki. A new character is introduced, who is the ever-so generic hyperactive best friend character, Daigo.

And then like any other harem, we have to walk around town and get some sweets with all of the many girlfriends. Though, to my surprise, there was a lack of costume cafes.

Ayumu follows in his brother's footsteps and scored himself a young lady over at the junior high.

And then we tell some cool bedtime stories about seperated lovers and climb some stairs.

Yet another member is added to the harem, this time an oh-so-generic timid shrine maiden.


Again, I have nothing special to say, other than the whole "generic" deal. Though slice-of-life is a favorite genre of mine, in this setting it needs something more.
I was also curious as to how so many of the people who have watched this can compare it to Shuffle! Shuffle! had a plot that led into the fantasy realm, dealing with demons and gods. So, unless the series begins to show such things, I don't think I can find many similarities between the two.

Dat shrine maiden :3 ow this can get interesting, her reaction was gold!
That ending sure was interesting as well, will we see the flashback of her onee-chan?

Either way the pace is great and has a nice development so lets see what's next!

I love this setting. Rural area, mountain village, scenery porn, nice characters, slow pacing. I was hoping for series like this for a long time. I'm glad that I didn't see all well made anime like this one.

Hm, Ui and Daigo are quite friendly..
lol, what?.. ;D Just how on earth Ibuki and Daigo instantly thought that Hoshino brothers might be not blood related?.. ;D Are they implying cheating or something?.. Man.. ;P
Well, it seems that everyone knows what is going in the town?.. Well, as it's not that big of a place, even if there are a lot of pupils at school.. Or it's just Kasane knows so much?.. Hard to tell.. Even if she has nickname as gossip lover, still not known about town..
This anime has such a huge amount of girls, it feels.. So first friendly spendings time together..

To give the show credit, some of the comedic gags have really sharp motions that are pretty well animated. This otherwise seems to be a fairly straightforward slice-of-life story that tries its best to be fun, energetic, and explorative.

I. Want. To. Live. Like. That.

And so that nothing bad ever happens, just chill every day with friends and with kawaii anime girls.

IM JUST CRYIN RN 😭😭😭

...


But what else i can add: i just really love the visual style here. I like how the characters and their eyes are drawn, its that unique style of 2000-2010s anime, it looks very cool and even better than many modern anime visuals.

I miss the times when there was no 3D and computer graphics. The visuals in such old anime seems more real and interesting.
