Rule No. 1: Don't Be A Jerk (A Guilty Crown Analysis)

Ok, so I think this one is going to be a bit more long-winded than the rest (except for possibly Nichijou). However, I only do this because I think Hanasaku Iroha deserves it. This series reminded me why we watch slice-of-life series (other than the random comedy/romance stuffed into it) and is most certainly a contender for the best anime series of the entire year. And now I'll show you why.

So....lot of stuff that surprised me over the past several days. Oh, and I'll do the Ikoku Meiro review soon, don't worry.

Mid-Season Impressions: Hanasaku Iroha

Sorry for the delay. Anyways, this review will be a bit more pleasant; I feel that Hanasaku Iroha, AnoHana, are Denpa Onna make up the 'must-see' anime of this season for me. At first, I didn't expect much from this series after a couple of people told me that it was boring. However, being the slice-of-life addict that I am, I decided to check it out after around 5 episodes had come out. What I saw gently delighted me. Here's to hoping for a great run!
