With the exception of this, I somewhat found this to be an OK entertaining anime show. I wanted to give this series a rating of around 7-8, but the ending made me to give this a 6 instead. I'm NOT gonna give away any ending spoilers, but the only thing which ruined this series was the ending which just seemed to be rushed. One of the funniest moments ever in this series takes place when some of the children attempt to do some synchronized swimming in front of Tsuchida. Exactly just like I wrote in my review for "Mahoraba: Heartful Days", this series is a somewhat cute anime-series, and it's humor is fine too. On the other side Anzu, one of the children attending the kindergarten, falls in love with Tsuchida and tries to attract his attention, and vows to marry him when she grows up. Basic plot: After graduation, Naozumi Tsuchida gets a job as a teacher in the titular kindergarten, where he falls in love with the beautiful Nanako Yamamoto. They are really fun to watch and I especially like the one that pays homage to American horror films.Ĭonclusion: Hanamaru Kindergarten is not a must –watch show but I can confidently say that if you happen to come across it, you will have quite a good time."Hanamaru Kindergarten" is a short comedy/anime-series directed by Seiji Mizushima year 2010. Another thing that I would like to mention is the unique ending credits for each episode. It took me quite a while to familiarize myself to this. The strange design is all the more obvious in the scenes that feature both the kids and the adults because the adults’ design uses normal proportion. The kids look cute but they are conspicuously disproportionate ballooned heads, giant eyes, tiny limbs and no neck (okay, they have necks in some scenes). Though never too outstanding, the animation was nicely done but I felt that the character design was a little extreme for the children’s part. I got the feeling that the creators were deliberately making room for a sequel. But Yamamoto somehow misinterprets the whole thing and thinks Tsuchida is talking about work. It is Christmas night, the snow is falling, the city is lit with beautiful lights it’s the right time, the perfect time. Hanamaru Kindergarten literally ends in a strange note. The only thing that bothers me is the ending and how thick headed Yamamoto is. The anime could really generate a few genuine laughs from me which wasn’t an easy task, actually. I did have a good time watching Hanamaru Kindergarten. And it so happened that I was in the mood for something simple and lighthearted. I think it depends on the execution and the circumstance. The generic plot and unremarkable characters are neither good nor bad. Spending 12 episodes watching good people taking care of good children and living carefree, happy lives indeed sounds painfully boring. That might sound like I did not enjoy this show. Aside from Yamamoto’s extreme insensitivity to love, the characters in this show are also very generic and they don’t change much during the course of the show. Most of the funny events come from the children’s innocent thoughts and behaviors. The rest of the show explores Tsuchida’s life in his new work place. Hanamaru Kindergarten is one non-progressive series. This entire main plot is introduced within the first episode and there is nothing more than that. Things are further complicated when Anzu-chan, the student in his class, naively falls in love with Tsuchida and declares that she will be his bride. The problem is that Yamamoto is so dense in matters of love and gives Tsuchida extremely difficult time in approaching her. On his first day at work, he falls for Yamamoto at first sight. He is a typical nerdy nice guy who loves observing big boobs. Tsuchida is recently recruited into Hanamaru Kindergarten as the first and only male sensei. Hanamaru Kindergarten can be labeled as just another ‘boy chasing girl’ anime or as ‘love triangle’ anime with one member of the triangle being a kindergartener. I have no good reason for watching Hanamaru Kindergarten and honestly, the anime is so unremarkable that it is difficult to recommend this anime to anyone. Well, that wasn’t even a good reason since there were several other high profile comedy anime piling up in my backlog. Review: My only reason of choosing to watch this anime is that I was getting tired and wasted after laboriously got through many intense and super serious anime.
