Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!

I don't know why this is not 10 stars its so fire the only problem is that there's a tiny tiny bit of fan service. I have a crush on the blond one. I was skeptical at first but its fire. There's a park i really wanna go to in this show. I have the google earth thing bookmarked on my computer. Summary this show is peak fiction.

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.

A very average comedy about these 3 girls and 1 boy with the personality that we have seen thousands of times in other sometimes better shows and sometimes worst, there is nothing special here, the animation and the cold in Hokkaido of course its beautiful but overall these 3 Fuyuki, Sayuri and Natsukawa are just annoying af, and the boy who I don't remember the name it's just a boring protagonist made so virgens can relate

The first 6 episodes are better than the other half because in those 6 first episodes you are not yet tired of these bad written characters ok and that's not a good thing, very bland anime 6/10.

I've always been a fan of romance comedy animes with around 12-24 episodes, been a fan for almost 5-6 years from now, this definitely is in my top 10 out of 80+ rom com animes I've ever watched. The writing and animation is what i like the most about this anime, the idea of helping a fellow classmate to achieve their goals, having just pure friendships with little to no unreasonable fights in the anime. Its completely mindblown to me how perfect it is and how enjoyable it was to watch the full thing.

I really hope that they have a new season coming out as I've heard from people that the manga is not yet completed and i have also yet to read the manga so i am definitely looking forward to a season 2. I will be my utmost support for production of season 2.

Going into this anime, I honestly thought it was gonna be peak. The premise is really amazing-we have this guy who's used to city life and suddenly ends up in this almost hillbilly town in the middle of winter. It had me hooked... until, hmm, the first 10 minutes of episode 1.

The main character is just like every other; he reacts to stuff when he has to, and that's about it. The girls carry the show completely, and they're good-especially Sayuri. She's very well written and genuinely enjoyable to watch.

That being said, it doesn't excuse the anime as a whole. The pacing is bad. It really feels like not much happens until the very end, when all of a sudden she's going away and he has to man up and go after her-but it doesn't really work out, and she goes away anyway. Worst yet, we just get a time skip to her coming back? Like... you could've done so much with the time she was gone. Make the other two girls develop their relationship with Tsubasa more, but instead you just skip to when she comes back??? Talk about wasted potential.

Not my cup of tea, but if you like cute girls, give this one a try.
