Wow, Im the first to review! Well, it's my first real review as well, still hope this will be to some help. NB this is MY review thus I'm expressing my OPINION. I just want people to understand why I really like this series.
This really is a continuation of the first series - Thus:
Story: 8
It takes a certain kind of humor to appreciate the storyline and humor really is the key to this series. It's wonderfully hilarious with free spirits that are not necessarily stupid, like most cartoon characters, but only different in their way of thinking. Even
...
if it's slice of life, you really feel like you're moving forward as you get to know the many different characters better and since it's made up of chapters which keeps it from getting stuck at some unimportant detail. The best things is that it doesn't feel like "I've seen this 2000 times before", their actions still surprise you and.. I got to tell you - it is SO refreshing to get out of school with characters beyond 16! Oh, and no ecchi ecchi harem in sight.
Art: 8
The characters are drawn rather simplistic. Instead, the artist has really spend a lot of time on the surrounding area. There are a lot of detailed shots of the river, the grass, the sky... It's evidently a part of the story - after all, there's a reason why so many people are spending their days at this specific riverbank and it feels more idyllic. Therefore this art style is good for this anime.
Sound: 7
The soundtrack for goes really well with the series. The op and ending are, in my opinion, better than the last one and it sets you in the right mood! The sound in the anime would however would not be anything I'd listen as it is.
Character: 8
The character that develop the most is Recruit. This is best seen during the first series. Yet here there has already been a sign of him growing as a man in love as well which is a huge step forward and thus it already deserves an 8. As the other characters actions still surprise me they never get boring and doesn't need as much development as Recruit. Slice of life doesn't really require as much of this either.
Enjoyment: 9
As this series always get my spirits up I have to call it great. It's outrageous in a good way. I really enjoy myself while watching this and can't wait for the next episode. In all honesty, it took me some episodes to get used enough to the humor to just lay back and enjoy the ride.
Overall: 8
This is very good if you're inexplicably down, bored or high spirited. Its silly but not idiotic and it shows those small problems that can be huge to one person. No world(s) crisis, no school, no work just entertainment.
