Minami-ke

[Kraco]

She's not colour blind. She's simply looking at the world through half-closed eyes, like Kana puts it, paying the very minimum of attention to things. She could immediately tell something was wrong about Fujioka, but couldn't recall what it was, having removed all extra details from her mind.

Touma being so good at sewing was certainly a surprise. She must have had lots of experience doing it. Maybe because their mother is never at home and she needed to do it all by herself. But even so, she's still an elementary schooler, so there ought to be a limit to what she can accomplish.

[Ryllharu]

Doesn't seem that way, when the three sisters showed her things out of magazines, she implied it wouldn't be difficult at all for her to make any of them. In fact, it would be easier than re-creating the bear from a pillow.

I bet she fixes all her brothers' clothes. Of course, the amusing part is that they don't acknowledge her exceptional sewing skills as a ladylike feature.

At least the older brothers are complete boneheads, so it's no wonder they don't.

Wow... Haruka is a pure goddess and the girls in her class too
especially Hitomi with her crush on Natsuki and her ability to read his eyes like a book.

and is it just me, or did they really put much more effort in character animation/movement this time. that being said, I always liked the animation but this time it went up another notch

[Kraco]

Hosaka still rules. There's no end to that dude's delusions. But yeah, I like Hitomi as well, and her special ability. Too bad Natsuki long ago joined Hosaka in the dreaming of Haruka club. But then again, this show never had a pair with shared love, except for Sensei and Ninomiya-kun.

[Ryllharu]

Needed more Uchida. I know it was a Haruka/High Schoolers episode, but the small bit of Uchida was enough make me want more. Her stupidity is unparalleled. I greatly enjoyed the fact that they sincerely apologize to Yoshino (but not Chiaki). She is truly the shadow leader of their age bracket. She will even put Hayami to shame in the future, I'm sure.

Also very much enjoyed the return of Chiaki-sama, Goddess of the teru teru bozu.

Episode 5 - UTW

While it's good to see Fujioka try to do something to get through Kana's wall of pure density, I can't help but wonder why he seeks help from Akira... Is it because he thinks Akira is on better terms with Kana? But even so he would be seeking assistance from someone he perceives to be a rival.

[KrayZ33]

Aww man, to bad there is no real romance going on in this show

I liked the whole episode, but especially the Fujioka parts were very entertaining to watch
the first misunderstanding with mole-girl and Fujioka being a delinquent made my day

Minami-ke Tadaima - 08 [UTW]


--------


I must have the Barbecue insert song!

[KrayZ33]

indeed.

both Oreshura and Minami-ke were fun to watch, had a really fun weekend

[Ryllharu]

Hayami got her comeuppance. Still...this was a really bizarre episode.

And the eyecatch after the preview...

So much Hosaka screentime is naturally a fairy recipe for bizarre scenes.

Too bad Hosaka didn't accept Natsuki's invitation. He has made such a profound impression on Chiaki that it alone would be of much help in socializing with the Minami family.

[KrayZ33]

Just a little while ago, Minami-ke 9 came out

too bad this show has nothing "worth" discussing, even though the show is so great.
and damn, so many possible love-pairings, yet we'll probably never see a single one actually happening

Minami-ke OVA 2 Natsuyasumi - DameDesuYo (or alternative torrent.)




- - - -- -- - -




Quite a good Minami-ke ova/episode. I liked the fact it didn't unnecessarily try to stick only to the Minami girls due to being an isolated release (ova) but rather had a good variety of characters from the pool, including Hitomi. Naturally Hosaka also appeared. Can't have Minami-ke without Hosaka's earth-shattering presence, after all. Very well worth watching.

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot: There was quite a diabolic cameo in this one.

[Buffalobiian]

Marathonned Minamike. Word to self - hold your nose while watching on bus. This is to control fits of laughter.

Naturally Season 2 was the worst, as everyone found out. I quite liked Season 3. Narrative had a higher focus there and it felt like it was going somewhere. It also had the best OP song in the entire series. edit: maybe not. Listening to them back-to-back, Tadaima's sounds the most pleasing atm. ED is a toss-up between Okaeri and Tadaima.

The "bible black" faces never really made it back, but I don't mind that. I didn't think they really fit the series anyway. It also looked kinda weird/scary/unflattering.

Also, Haruka needs to be more interesting to measure up to the others! Right now she's a just a pair of fine breasts hanging under a pretty face with a cute personality.

NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!

Hayami can annoy me sometimes. It's not that she's unfunny, but I really want to see what Hosaka could actually do if he's not constantly stumped over taking Hayami's advice seriously.
