The latest series of apprehensively awaited baka-yarou anime Minami-ke, Minami-ke Okaeri, has arrived, and episode one is already attracting harsh censure for its sloppy production values, with an especially major error being rapidly detected by the critical engine that is 2ch.
You can see the glaring error which has so outraged fans below:
As you can see, what is written on the document is 寝むそう / nemu sou, incorrectly meaning something along the lines of “apparently sleeps”, instead of the correct 眠そう / nemusou, meaning “looks sleepy”.
A truly shocking example of poor production values. There are some suggestions that this might be a joke based on the teacher, but which seems more likely, a joke, or Asread quality?
Just how so blatant an error found its way through QC is surely a sad indictment of the Asread production process. Perhaps it was they who were sleepy? Was the effort of drawing faces on the background characters too much for them? Is this to be Okawari all over again?
Leaving aside this colossal disaster on the part of Asread, fans are mostly rather positive, going so far as to guardedly revise their previously vitriolic disparagement of the studio.
Praise for the humour and upbeat atmosphere of the show is not lacking, so it seems Okawari may have been the unfortunate nadir of the series after all.
Most do retain some reservations about the character design and animation quality however. certainly, some slightly strange frames are in evidence.
Below you can see some of the episode in caps:
Hopefully, it has not been marred completely by the “sleepy” debacle.

If the fans are "mostly rather positive", how is it a "Complete Disaster"? Make up your mind.
I think your sarcasm detector is broken.
I'm beginning to wonder if many people even have one installed.
Easy-to-miss over-the-net sarcasm + these smarties = more of such to come
I don't really mind since they still get something from from the articles (enjoyable outrage in many cases it seems), so I think such articles have different levels for different readers.
i sometimes think we could even up the level of the articles further. Twill provide even more outrage as less and less people will get it ;).
Clearly, sarcasm detectors were sold out at walmart.
2Chan-ers need a life... or at least get out of the house once a day.
Tru dat! Especially if they're whining over errors like that.
they do get out....it's called a "OFF-Party" or "OFF-Meet", where 2channers meet offline and do crap...
They need a life, unlike the people sitting half way around the world reading (and bitching) on a site dedicated to a culture they wish they lived in, but instead chose to sit on the outskirts and read blogs. Right?
Well, look at it this way. If the animation and character designs are shit from ep 1, it can't possibly fall into the trend of "Going downhill after the first episode".
They've broken the 3 episode curse lol
Just watched the first episode. For me okawari wasn't that bad (I even prefer okawari character design over the first season) but okaeri fail me... the anatomy look strange and inconstant, worst of all is Touma my favourite character looks like a boy not a cute tomboy-ish anymore T-T
That's called plot progression: the Minami sisters are working on making her more boyish, duh.
"apparently sleepy"?
Heh, is that all?
A misspelled word is a major disaster? How anal can you get? Sheesh.
Warning: Posts on Sankaku may contain trace amounts of satire and sarcasm.
Fair enough. I honestly can't tell sometimes between faux and real outrage, the otaku contingent being what they are. It looks like I was had this time.
Warning: 2ch may actually be that bad (refer to infamous nagi (virginity) scandal... though that may just be the voice of a few fanatics painting over the silent masses... (sound familiar?)
I didn't think of Okawari as a disaster :\ The characters in this one look a little pale and tired.
What the hell are you mumbling about? OKAWARI WAS AND IS GREAT. Probably better than the first series even. The only part of Okawari I didn't like was the damn megane-boya neighbour, but that is just because I hate ugly and pathetic people.
doesn't look that bad.
Fans really piss me off sometimes. This is fine. Good lord.
maybe Aso was in charge of it.
omg who cares if something is spelled wrong, what do people do, pause the show and look and read EVERYTHING.
Honestly, some people need to get a life.
They shouldn't even be allowed to call themselves fans if they call a show a complete diaster over such a minor detail which can easily be fixed for DVD release if need be.
Finally, more Kana-chan! Screenshots look fine IMO...
It's not a complete disaster, but the quality is rather bad. I guess I'll have to wait till I watch for a final decision.
Well, at least they tried to make it like season one, to a certain extent. Apparently, "Don't fix what isn't broken" is a foreign concept to Aslead. Looks to be like there's a lot of animation quality this time around too.
These articles really need to have a "Sarcastic" tag.
What they need are readers capable of appreciating simple satire...
Agreed. The writing style is one of the main reasons I read the articles here. A lot of the comments, though... well, I can normally a reason to facepalm at least once.
We're here, we don't just think "WTF" and then light-speed hit the comment button before thinking.
I liked Okawari and I like Okaeri.
So I checked NEITHER.
I vote for "It's too early to tell" :D
I don't mind the misspelling.
The character design worsen!!!!!
i agree wholeheartedly. who cares about a text error, has anyone ever read the onscreens in macross f? what's bad here is the really shitty art.
well i guess it can't get worse...
yup, it got from worse to legendary...
This is what passes for a travesty in anime?- lol. Who's the girl with the pig-tails? she had a round butt in one of the screen caps above- I said "Geez!- that looks like an American Ass!- not Japanese!- How could QC let a Gajin's Ass loose on Minamike Okaeri?"...then I realized I've never seen the show and felt offend by association.
2Chan- lol.
2-ch != 2chan
whats the difference? (i'm being serious here)
2ch - http://www.2ch.net/
Text based. Thought to be the largest internet forum in the world.
2chan - http://www.2chan.net/
Imageboard spinoff. Much smaller. 4chan gets more traffic.
Two letters and a language change.
it looks like season 2 without the shadows. It's fine atm. I am happy.
From the opening the 3 brothers are back. And everyone but neighbor boy seem to be here.
The only real big thing you notice. Money was cut. The two companies REAALLLLLLY SHOULD NOT work together. One style mixed with another is weird.
FYI Asleed's look is closer to the manga. Waiting for better raws otherwise.
The neighbour boy was filler, and they had him leave in the plot, so that's fine. Basically a temporary romantic interest so that people can pair off the crossdressers.
Sure are a lot of casual fans here. True fans would never forgive such an error.
The guy in Pic. 12 looked like Kyon in some ways to me.
Pic 16 reminds me of Itsuki from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Second season is rumored to start in April, but I don't buy it; not until I see it. Doesn't mattter anyways I already read the novels (They are amazing).
Hm, a lot of the characters look convincingly older (that is, older, but not *older*). I wonder if it's not too jarring, but on the other hand, I can see that as a good thing too.
Well, they're all about a year older or something, since it's a consecutive Christmas.
