Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!
Tweekums27 March 2024
This anime series is centred on Tsubasa Shiki, a teenaged boy from Tokyo who has moved the city of Kitami on the northern island of Hokkaido. He arrives in winter and everything is covered in snow. He is somewhat surprised when he sees a girl with dyed blonde hair wearing a short skirt and no gloves; clearly a 'gyaru'. He doesn't really approve but ends up talking to her. She is Minami Fuyuki and it turns out she is in the same class as him. Gradually they start developing feelings for one another.

I hadn't got far into watching this when I began to suspect it was going to be fan service heavy and not that great... thankfully I was wrong. Minami's attire may be a little revealing but nothing too much is shown and the usual ecchi tropes are largely avoided. Instead we get a delightful romance set in an area of Japan that is underserved in anime. The characters are rather fun; with some good secondary characters as well as the two protagonists. I liked the character designs and setting. Overall a fun series; don't be put off by Minami's dress sense.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

I sucker for shojo anime but reviews say it all

Warning: Spoilers
I love myself some Toradora, Komi, n Tomo Chan but when it comes gals anime that's rare actually cause feel nice romcom show that laughs keep coming n this follows the tropes but less of the fan service.

The star of the show follows typical boy meets girl than things gets great when they become friends but laughters suit when he gets embarrassed for all exposed she give him, really like their friendship reminded of Mari n Gojo from dress up darling in were is the girl push our protagonist to go where it, through the show we meet a loner gamer gal that have nothing to do then just playing not unless the protagonist teach her some tricks while teach him how to be a gamer is really friendly tsundere has, then comes the neighbor antiquity gal that actually goes on date with he, discovering the smart n beuty she has. The episode that gets strict is when the grandmother want grandchild take the top ten scores of school so he ask for help from the antiquity gal.

Cause everything he gain the friendship of gals n many places now knows. But there would be enough than sad moment when her first gal friends decide to move to states to practice what she love making our protagonist hug her out know where, is something pull a tear.

By look the animation was very simplex, never seen the eyes of the gal so very almost rectangular form, sure the cars re just pure cg but the setting where take place plays huge roles to the series, protagonist complaining a lot about it.

By far the best environment goes on epi 11 when blond gal take him to the pink gardens of all Hokaiga, flowing looking the petals roaming around em.

As the opening was awesome cause of the dance that they do, wish it become trend, also the ending was kawai enough when see the girls just minding their business by half way the adorable chibi take place ending with em sleeping together holding a stuff doll of our protagonist.

To conclude the anime ia run of mill shojo in all classic moments the characters re fun n witty Main protagonist is hard studyir n guffy at times when the gal gets close to him(which love) N something's i never knew about ice fishing?

Love yer shojo give this a try.

Gals & Giggles: Hokkaido's Cutest Come to Town!
Mysterygeneration20 April 2024
With a blonde gyaru and a quirky accent, this character seemed like a surefire hit. Guess not! What a missed opportunity.

In other words, this anime is incredibly repetitive. Every episode follows the exact same formula: a guy meets a flashy girl, they grab a bite, and then the guy ends up flustered. It's like watching the same scene on repeat. If you ever felt like slice-of-life anime relies on clichés, this show cranks that feeling up to eleven - and all within a super predictable format.

This anime is boring, even for someone like me who enjoys silly jokes. It offers nothing: no interesting ideas, not heartwarming enough, not the cute style I like, and forget about anything spicy. It doesn't even deliver the cozy vibes a slice-of-life should! The only saving grace is a single scene with a character's mom. The rest is just repetitive and irritating.
