Series Review: Minami-ke Okawari
Minami-ke Okawari picks up right where the first season left off. Same thing, slightly different name.
I found this season to be funnier, probably since I got most of the jokes this time around. I also think it had something to do with this season having a much larger (regular) cast; it was very rarely just the 3 sisters, most of the time it included Chiaki’s classmates at the very least.
I guess this big thing with this season was the change in animation studios. A lot of blogs I read seemed to really dislike, or outright hate, the new art. Personally, I barely noticed a difference. I only really noticed a difference in Chiaki; her eyes were less droopy, and her hair was lighter/gradient. In any case, the humour was virtually the same, so why so serious, animu? A little change never hurt anybody. Especially since this season, to me, was even funnier then the first. While the art was no longer ‘pretty’, it doesn’t distract away from the content, which should be the selling point/important part of a series. So, meh.
No real new running gags at all, other then “lol Mako’s really a boy and Touma’s really a girl lol look at us, being edgy” but meh. Hosaka is clearly still the best character ever.. especially in the last episode.
Again, I didn’t listen to the OP/ED at all, and, again, I find it hard to ‘review’ a slice of life show.
