Matsumae Ohana, a 16 year old girl, moves out of Tokyo and starts working at a hot spring hotel, which is located on a hill surrounded by cherry blossoms. Matsumae has yet to decide her future. The story will also feature other teenage girls who are looking for their dreams and excitements.

Genres: School, Slice of Life, Seinen
Release Date : April 3nd, 2011
I found no topics on this, and it was just released today. After watching it on my TV (with HDMI cable fkyer), I can say that I was very impressed with the art.
Yet, not only the art, but so far I really like the characters, even if some of them are assholes (Yes, you Grandma!).
If there was already a topic for this, my apologizes.

Might as well add seinen to the genre list as well. I just watched the first episode and can tell it's a series I'll be following

Ohana has to deal with some of the most godawful people in the world. Sheesh. With a family like that, who needs enemies?

So far, pretty good drama and possible character development. Also it helps that Ohana is voice by Itou Kanae (Ruiko Saten)

Quite a bit more serious and less random of a show than say, Nichijou. Ohana has it rough... Haven't watched this kind of anime in a while, so I guess I'll also keep an eye on this one.

Just watched this. I have high hopes for this one, even though it wasn't on my list. Going to keep watching it, since I like it thus far. Looks like Ohana is getting a taste of what an ruined life she desired.

Got Megane?
At first I just liked Ohana's character design and just knew I'd like it anyways, but after watching the first episode, there is a lot more to look forward too. I honestly haven't felt this way about any other series in a while.
That right there.

Finally a good slice of life anime after a while. Can't wait to see whether Ohana adapts to her new environment or bring change to it. Definitely picking up this series.

Don't see what's all the hype about this is, thought it was pretty meh. Definitely not the slice of life gem Hourou Musuko was last season.

The first episode really rubbed me the wrong way, the main character get's put through a lot of shit in just one episode yet the most emotional backlash or response we get is a few tears at the end :/
Everyone around her was treating her like crap, not saying there should be no hardships but get angry for god sake, who wouldn't in such a situation? Your moronic parent dumps you into an entirely new place with a cold hearted grandma.
I'll continue watching, I'd just like to see her stand up for herself a little, instead of taking everything in stride.

actually I was getting the same feeling for the first like 18 minutes, but when I think of other anime where the female lead overcomes the hardships thrust upon her and stands up for herself and all that jazz we love to see her do, I know I can continue watching it and I can't wait for the rest, so I can still say confidently that this is the best new series so far.

Very powerful first episode. The animation, specifically the scenery and emotions is very well done.

I'm liking it so far. However, someone mentioned it to me that it is coming off more like a J-drama than an anime, so take that for what you will.

Finished episode 2
I haven't looked forward to the next episode of a show this much since Madoka. Oh wait, that was last season.

[font=Verdana][color=green]This anime completely blindsided me. I had no idea that it was being released; but so far I have been very impressed. Can't wait for this series to develop; but I can imagine it trying to be like Aria; light-hearted but with serious messages. If it does try that, though, then it's in for a colossal task.
