Just when it looked like domestic drama anime Hanasaku Iroha was to be one of the season’s few anime devoid of service, it suddenly delivers up its heroine tightly bound in the traditional manner, and then sets her to bathing with a female friend for good measure…
After the first episode I was kinda... Ehm... Don't know if I can watch this.
Not that it was bad, it just felt like it would be too much drama emotion stuff, but then I saw the bondage and gave it a second try. By then the characters had grown on me somehow.
I watch first episode and 50/50 to continue watch this show(cause slice of life is too boring, offer cute character with no plot at all). Now, I drop this show completely. Hey, Director, Did you know you just cross the line? There are always a line of stupidity you can make and you just cross it!
lol is there a plot to why she being bondaged like something to do with sexual abuse? Like why is it in , whether you like it or not surely a reason for it?
Yes, there is a plot reason for it... if somewhat contrived (IMO). If you want to know, I guess you'll just have to watch, since I refuse to give away spoilers.
For those who like this show, I'm curious as to what exactly you like about the show. (and say it's the 'best of the season') Do you simply like it because the plot is different from the standard stuff? The characters? The production values?
I watched the first episode with pretty high expectations and came out pretty confused about how I felt about it. I mean, the first episode, to me, was really, really harsh. Yeah you have the 'cruel reality' of life being portrayed in the show, and I get that, but it didn't really sit right with me.
I also understand that the animation is pretty top notch most of the time and that, for some, is the main reason that they like it. For me, the animation, artstyle, writers, directors, voice cast and other production factors don't really influence my like for a show at all.
As of yet, I haven't had the time to check out the following episodes, but I'm really hoping it lightens up somewhat...
I like it because it's not the same usual loli/ecchi/tsundere/oppai/moe-shit you see all the time. It's a cute, funny story that makes you relaxed, and kind of makes you think about the things in life. And I think it's a good thing to see something that doesn't revolve around panties and breasts.
That being said, I also think it's more of a "girl"-anime.
Harsh? How so? To me it looks like a young girl being thrust into a working environment. There are plenty of young people her age who get stuck in far harsher conditions, and if anything, her grandmother is not harsh. The woman's just trying to manage her business. It looks like a "coming of age" series to me.
Anyways, I'm enjoying the series. I'm hoping for excellent character development and continued high production values.
Oh, and seeing three girls in a bath together... and Nako's wet waitress form... and the bondage... afk, be back in a minute ;)
The characters are awesome, not some ripoff. also, I like the art and the story... and everything! The voices, the drama (now and then) and the comedy! (it's not really 'obvious' comedy, but I love it!)
There is nothing not to love about this. :I
Yup. It's fuckin boring random trash, with garbage voices. Reactions to anything out of the ordinary are so fuckin stupid. This shit doesn't make any... More
Yuri and BDSM huh? I guess this new anime really is very interesting.
no is not
God get some taste then.
And we saw how moe she was, and the combined wishes of all otaku severely altered the broadcast reels.
The collective unconscious of otaku altered reality...soon the whole world will be filled with nekomimi lolis.
This would be most welcome.
she's just a slut
I already thought this was the best of the season so far, and now it gets even better.
Bondage never let's you "down" :3
Lesbians never run around and desert you...
I'm never gonna give this up.
Who will?
@Megi
This show will never let you down.
Yuri is always never enough.
Yuri will be always never enough!
This is quite good IMO.
@ TajaDoru Maidniac
Unlike Madoka
This show is never gonna run around and desert you
OMG this is so HOT. Wut would I give to slip my penis into that tight loli Ohana pussy... fuck I got hard.
settle down virgin.
werd...little twat and 2d crap
Woah, It's past your bedtime kid.
And she is still not a loli.
C80 will be glorious too.
Oddly enough it mixed fanservice and plot well impressed for now :P
HD Bondage and Lesbian? Fapping time?
That's an automatic fapping time! FAPFAPFAPFAP
After the first episode I was kinda... Ehm... Don't know if I can watch this.

As much as I love you, you're rather disparaging of us, no?

A few step until this show become a Perfect Package in my watchlist..
You know.., I must be really perverted to think that he's teasing her nipples with that rope here..
I'm sure they intentionally made it look like he was doing that, even if he really wasn't. :P
is there storyline for why she being bondaged or do all japanese households have bondage masters in them?
lol is there a plot to why she being bondaged like something to do with sexual abuse? Like why is it in , whether you like it or not surely a reason for it?
I haven't watched it yet, but from the things I read here and other places around the net it appears like it was just for fun and consensual.
Yes, there is a plot reason for it... if somewhat contrived (IMO). If you want to know, I guess you'll just have to watch, since I refuse to give away spoilers.
Bondage is not sexual abuse.
Why is there a reason for anything? You watch anime because you like it. You like pretty looking anime characters because its enjoyable.
Tying up girls and flogging them with various objects is for the enjoyment for both.
try a site called alt.com - plenty of girls into the stuff, but many are on the heavy side.

Hence the term "Hog-tied"

"animation does not affect anime"
Haha.
then why just not listen to radio ayt? pretty dumb.. wahahah! :D
second this.. i don't know what so fun about this anime..
yes, the art appealing, but the story is... boring
i only enjoy anime with ecchi content, a funny comedy, action packed, and slice of life (not cheese one like this)..
seems that there are hint of ecchi, so i might consider watching it
Just because you enjoy fapping to porn all day doesn't mean everybody else has to enjoy it too.
pervert.. :D

Indeed, didn't someone actually say that this was the anime equivalent of daytime dramas that housewives watch all day?
I have not watched it yet, but I am curious if it's simply jdrama in anime form, as the previous ep summary notes the jdrama staples.
Harsh? How so? To me it looks like a young girl being thrust into a working environment. There are plenty of young people her age who get stuck in far harsher conditions, and if anything, her grandmother is not harsh. The woman's just trying to manage her business.

character development is what's keeping me tied to this series. that's enough for me to keep me watching this series for awhile... XD

There is nothing not to love about this. :I
I think you'll like its story, if not, why not commit suicide? hahaha
