Minami-ke: Okaeri |
Story:
The first sequel series of the winter season, the slice of life comedy Minami-ke returns for a third season. Following the daily lives of three sisters, this slice of life comedy will take audiences through adventures such as cooking, looking after each other and crushes.
Artwork:
As with season two of this series, asread is returning to do the animation for season three fresh off of this previous season’s dark thriller Ga-Rei –Zero-. Also veterans of other genres, asread are also the production house that brought audiences the anime adaptations of Shuffle! and Shuffle Memories.
Early Reactions:
I’ll admit that I am completely clueless about this series. I never saw the first two seasons of this series but seeing names like Marina Inoue and Rina Satou attached to the vocal cast makes me want to. Since it is a slice of life anime I will likely take a chance on this one and see if I can get into the story despite having no real prior knowledge of the series. If any readers want to help me out with what I really need to know about the three sisters before I enter the third season of this series, feel free to tell me in the comments below.
I hear Minami Ke Okawari wasn’t as good as Minami Ke, and people are leery about whether this season will be better. I try not to watch second or third seasons unless strongly recommended to, so probably won’t be making an exception for this one. XD Watched a bit of the first one..funny, but pretty much just slice of life, like the genre says.
I absolutely loved the series (both the first one, and okwari) - the sitcom makes me chuckle through out the 12 eps.
Its fairly watchable without needing to know much background, but to enjoy it fully, you need to know the personality of the sisters. The second sequel didnt really start from the beginning, and thus, you might be perplexed at some scenes.
