I've been re-watching Hanasaku Iroha recently, I remembered enjoying it back when it first aired and thought some of the shine might have worn off many years later but it's actually still amazing and so damn comfy.What happened to good escapism in anime feels like its been ages since there's been a real stand-out Iyashikei show, last one I remember was Flying Witch. Anyway, this is a Hanasaku Iroha thread.
what the fuck was her problem?
>>274808550She was literally getting cucked by Ohana, I can understand why she was mad.
>>274808343I'd hesitate to call any Okada script iyashikei with all the drama she indulges in, but good show.Yuina is for marrying me. Ohana is for marrying Kou-chan. Anons can fight over the heron.>>274808550Hobiron ends up a single cat lady and that's ok because cats are capable of so much love.
I have so much nostalgia for this show, it just seems so comfy to me like perfect. The soundtrack is 10/10 too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi2gGg8pHHw
>>274808835PAW put a lot of effort into their soundtracks back thenThe accordion track is superb
>>274809158>back thenAppare had Evan Call.Aquatope had whatever you want to call that but it was comfy.Akiba Maid War had someone who really understood the 1970s/80s yakuza drama vibe.
>>274809158Yeah, Glass Lip was awful but man the soundtrack was amazing I remember watching the episode with this in it and just being blow away:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw19XDSB0ZII really miss old PA works, last anime I remember by them was Irodoku or actually Aquatope was pretty good.
>>274809245Watch Akiba, Buddy Daddies and Mayonaka Punch.Komada might be good too but no one has watched it because distribution is apparently not important for movies(?)
>>274808343I'd volunteer to work at their ryoukan as long as it wasn't run by Grandma Hitler.Seriously. When do we get to see Ohana inherit the family business and stumble in the most huggable ways?
>>274809434>Grandma HitlerNo way, she was fucking good. She was hard but she was always right, I 100% respect her she was a great character.
>>274809488Just because she was hard-working doesn't mean she was right.Her centuries-old family business lost against Yuina-senpai's tacky nouveau riche competition because they understood what customers want.Great character? Sure. Role model? Hell no.
Nako was unbelievably hot
>>274809609Nako had big tiddies but had that teen mom energy which made less hot than Ohana's mom who was an actual teen mom and also a trainwreck of a person who had to let her own daughter raise her (praise Okada for giving us this painful but true insight into the human condition).
>>274809714>which made less hotI wish I were literate, but alas, my cursed ancestors have not granted me with that ability.
>>274809594But the reason the business does well at points is because Ohana follows the same principles as her, like the whole "people come to Kisui because its the same each time" and "every customer is equal" etc. and that plays to her advantage when the magazine reviewers turn up and the business lady woman focuses on who she thinks it is which turns out to be wrong.The only good idea she had was the old kimono's that manager used to wear a long time ago that Ohana and Nako wore for a short while that stirred some old memories in customers.
>>274809785>But the reason the business does well at points is because OhanaSee? It's time for the only girl who ever did anything right to inherit the crown.
>>274809862I don't disagree, Ohana would be a great manager she easily proves herself in that regard.
>>274809594>Her centuries-old family business lost against Yuina-senpai's tacky nouveau riche competition because they understood what customers wantYes, but there is a market for a traditional onsen ryokan. The issue is ultimately that she was getting too old to run the ryoukan and there was no future after she left, because all her children (and Ohana) are complete buffoons who are too stupid to run a business.>>274809901Ohana would be a terrible manager.
Minchi is precious.
>>274810162>Yes, but there is a market for a traditional onsen ryokan.There may be in a few years, but there wasn't during the period the series took place in. Being unaware of the 20 year nostalgia cycle is bad business sense.>because all her children (and Ohana) are complete buffoons who are too stupid to run a business.That's because she didn't train them early enough or with the kind of feedback that matched their social capacities. Literal skill issue.>>274810162>Ohana would be a terrible manager.At her current age? Absolutey? Ten years later? She'd probably outclass her mom and grandma in no time flat.
>>274810269>there wasn't during the period the series took place inthere always isit's the standard, it's what's expectedAnd you can always sell it up, if you need to.>with the kind of feedback that matched their social capacitiesNothing could fix either of the two.
>>274810306>it's the standard, it's what's expectedThis attitude is why the Japanese economy is faltering.>Nothing could fix either of the two.The fuccboi? Maybe. Ohana? All she needs is life experience and the guidance of a responsible adult (not her mom).
This whole scene made an impression on me when the show was airing. Maybe it was the absurdity of it in what was an otherwise grounded drama, and how the rapist suicidal man gets away with everything, including a free stay and job at the inn
>>274810389>This attitude is why the Japanese economy is faltering.No, it really is not. You don't need to innovate bread. I just want bread. Hospitality has similar standards, for the most part.Especially in the more traditional sector.
>>274810419>You don't need to innovate bread. I just want bread.Spoken like a man who has never had proper bread.
>>274810232You must be Buddhist to consider even the most vile and disgusting lifeforms precious. And you'd need the patience of a Buddhist monk to put up with her for more than five minutes.
I'll try this show now. I'm in my 2010s anime phase anyway
>>274810465"proper bread" is made according to a recipe that is hundreds of years oldThere is nothing you can do to improve on the recipe, you can only make it "not bread" anymore.The issue I see is that you don't really understand economics and how competition works. Kissuisou does not compete with the Onsen Gigaplex Super Tower, they do not draw the same kinds of customers and making Kissuisou profitable is fairly simple. You sell it up, slightly and tastefully play up the taisho roman angle.This would have done well even 10 years ago.
>>274810508Don't be mean to minced meat. It has suffered enough.
>>274810644>"proper bread" is made according to a recipe that is hundreds of years old>There is nothing you can do to improve on the recipe, you can only make it "not bread" anymore.Say this to any French or German baker's face. See how they respond.>they do not draw the same kinds of customersThis is what grandma thought, and that's why her inn had to close.
The hotel slut was made for rough dickings
>>274810708>Say this to any French or German baker's face. See how they respond.yes, their recipes and techniques are a few hundred years old, they just don't use a wood-fired stove anymore.>that's why her inn had to closeit had to close because the son was an incompetent retard booking the ryoukan past the staff's capacity because he was worried about not making enough money, please watch the anime
>>274810987>The hotel slut was made for rough dickingsShe tops, right?
>>274811017>yes, their recipes and techniques are a few hundred years oldTell my you haven't eaten real French or German bread without actually confessing your sins.>>274811017>it had to close because the son was an incompetent retardNope. It had to close because Ohana was too young to inherit it. Please read between the lines.
>>274811034Maybe
>>274809346>Watch Akiba, Buddy Daddies and Mayonaka Punch.I've seen Akiba already, that was great. Buddy Daddies I wrote off because it looked gay and Mayonaka I'll give a go.
>>274811090>Tell my you haven't eaten real French or German breadWhat are you even trying to say here?Baguettes are 4 ingredients, it's just water, flour, yeast and salt. There is nothing there, for it to be special. It's literally the most simple form of bread you can imagine. There's nothing special about it. Millions of people eat this every day.It's just bread.Perhaps living in a country that has actual bread means I have less reverence for bread.>>274811090>It had to close because Ohana was too young to inherit it. Please read between the lines.She was never going, regardless of Sui's wishes.
>>274811389Buddy Daddies is 100% straight Abe propaganda.
>>274811393>Millions of people eat this every dayBut have you? Be honest.>Perhaps living in a country that has actual breadPost you are country so we can laugh at you as a form of virtual lynching.>She was never going, regardless of Sui's wishesIf anything defines Ohana, it's her tendency to do her own thing in defiance of inferior people' wishes.
>>274811568>Post you are countryIt's pretty much Germany + France, if that helps you figure it out.
>>274811579Luxembourg isn't a real county.
>>274811616i am glad you have opinions about Luxembour, but there's 3 other ones too, maybe you get it with your next guess.
>>274811652Italy is half a century away from becoming a real county.The other two aren't even worthy of consideration.
>>274811770I am glad you have such strong feeling about a lot of things. Maybe one day, your feelings will align with reality too.Regardless, it doesn't matter which of them it is, what I am saying is that I know more about bread that you ever will as an outsider.
>Should I watch this show?>Lets check the thread>bread>luxenbourg>real bead>good bread>simple breadI guess that means I should watch it
>>274811833Keep eating. Maybe one day you will become civilized.
>>274811873maybe one day you will become a person
>>274811856>I guess that means I should watch itYes.
>>274808343When I first watched this show I found myself incredibly bored and dropped it. Years later I wanted to see if my tastes had changed or I had matured to being able to enjoy it, I found myself getting incredibly bored by it and ended up dropping it again. It looks nice and has an interesting premise but I just can't get into it.
>>274811873Oh shit, are you Arab? I'm so sorry.
>>274811939Even Arabs know how to make bread.It's just Americans that don't.
>>274811973>Even Arabs know how to make bread.To them, it's bread. To the rest of the world, they're flavorless pancakes.
>>274808835cute
Genius plan to attract more customers
>>274812260I'll have red one and also please direct me to your tip jarThe blue one may watch
>>274812339>I'll have red oneI wish etc.
>>274812339You should fuck Nako and make Ohana watch.
>>274812397But that's less fun than getting the Ohana Shibari Experience and watching Nako's completely unprepared reaction
>>274808343This was one of the first shows I ever dropped. I was going through adaptions that Kishida Mel illustrated and got 8-9 episodes in.Thanks for reading my blog
>>274812463wow, you can just tie Ohana up in the corner and then have your way with Nako
Tari Tari was better.
>>274812586>wow, you can just tie the natural domme up in the corner and then awkwardly have your way with the unwilling virgin who will claim child support laterI would call you out for your lack of life experience but this should be fun to watch
>>274813033Ohana is for cucking and you know it.
>>274808343I rewatched this this time with my mom and she really liked the whole thing, specially ohana characterThe show was PA works at his best, specially the art, they peaked with nagi no asukara 2 years later in terms of production value and it has been downhill since then>What happened to good escapism in animeIts dead, just like modern anime, escapism that isn't isekai = bad.
>>274813233You've never had sex and you know it.
>>274813276Coming from you that really doesn't mean much.
>>274813239>I rewatched this this time with my mom and she really liked the whole thing, specially ohana characterI would say she's a good mom, except Okada's mother said the same...
>>274813340Respect your father, son.
>>274813385are you ok?
>>274813443Are you? You have one more year to find a partner to support your useless ass before the bank of Mom and Dad cuts off your life support.
>>274813573Do you often invent backstories for other posters on this website?
>>274813618We know you post here, Kevin. You can't keep running forever.
I only remember Nako's Nakos.
>>274813680this kind of funposting isn't good for you, friend
>>274813797>fun is badThis isn't how we raised you.
>>274813781No even Yuina's feetoes?
>>274813781
>>274813033Ohana is a pure sub and bottom. She is a natural fully submissive girl.
>>274813033>the natural dommeOhana gives with the slightest push.Nako is far more resilient and more of a domme than Ohana will ever be.
The first OP was peak ear.RAPE.
>>274808343This looks like a very cute show
>>274817044Very cute
>>274811174Is this yuri?
>>274809609I loved the whole cast but Nako was as peak wife material as it gets.
Fuck Minchi
>>274808343There's a Chilean channel who keeps spamming this show
>>274817676Minchi awakens an abuse fetish deep within me
>>274817714This is yuri
>>274811034>>274811174Only other girls. She bottoms to guys.
>>274818039wtf I love yuri now
>>274808835>The soundtrack is 10/10 too.Hell yeah. If I remember right, there were like two or three of Faure's nocturnes throughout the series.
>>274808343>Mari Okada slop>REWATCHING Mari Okada slop
>>274808343How did they make Ohana so erotic?
>>274810162There's a market for traditional onsen but the plain fact of the matter is that grandma was running a shitty business. It was situated in an area that didn't get a lot of tourist traffic, its only bath was small and generic, it had small rooms without decent views, the only amenity was room service by a good but not celebrated chef. There was simply no reason to visit it as opposed to any other onsen hotel in Japan. There's a reason it's a failing business and Ohana only believes otherwise because she's an impressionable dipshit.
>>274818039>bondage, yuriNovelist-kun had good ideas
>>274817816Based
>>274818454>she actually wanted moreOhana is a fucking slut, like her mom.
I watched this when I was new to anime, thought it was boring and characters weird. Nowadays I appreciate quality anime more and like PA Works, so I should rewatch this.
>>274818817Most of the characters are still very weird, Ohana most of all. That's what made the show interesting to me, I kept watching just to see what harebrained thing she'd do next. Remember that episode where they didn't have a chef during a rush hour, so her bright idea was to leave the hotel, go all the way to the city, and literally run around the entire city looking for him?
HOBIRON
>>274808343This was the first show that seriously made me want to visit or even live in Japan. It has one of the comfiest settings I've seen in anime
When I went to Japan I booked a ryokan entirely because of this show.They did hire young girls to serve dinner. It was $700/night.
>>274821141Both Saten and Ohana were Kanae Itou sluts
Just imagine...
>>274808343I should rewatch the anime sometime soon, I think I will do it once im done with some of the shows from World Masterpiece Theater
>>274821716How many men?
My favorite anime of all time.I love the characters, the setting, the atmosphere, the story; I fucking love everything about it, it clicked with me in such a way no other series has ever done so.I love Portuguese bread btw.
>>274808343>good escapism in anime>characters literally addicted to being wagies
>>274819184Ohana's standout quality is that she's a hardheaded and plucky girl. No matter the situation, she always tries to keep a positive attitude and when things go wrong she will fight hard to make things right and not give up. She stumbles and makes mistakes a lot. She certainly has flaws which can lead her to end up in a pathetic state and crying. But at the end of the day, she always recovers and learns from her mistakes and will keep giving it her all. Ohana is unironically the perfect example of how to write a strong female character which Hollywood should learn from.
>>274810389>oh no, not the imaginary line going down! Let's import immigrants NOW!
>>274822844She's not a "strong character", she's a textbook example of a martyr complex. She constantly seeks out the hardest and most self-denying way to do things because she operates on magical thinking that suffering = virtue. There's an arc in the show where she actually gets mad at some other waitresses because they quit their job because they had a shitty boss. They were entirely in the right to quit, their boss wasn't delegating or organizing properly and was slacking off during work hours, Ohana just considers them wrong on principle because they did not put up with it for no reason. Ohana believes that the phrase "misery builds character" is a tautology.
>>274808343I watched this anime when it aired but can't seem to remember the plot.
>>274823088Ohana cannot have a martyr complex since she refuses to feel sorry for herself. Your assessment of Ohana is completely wrong. She acts the way she does because she acts before she thinks and her approach to problems is to run into them head on. The manager didn't have problems delegating or organizing. His problem is that he was too strict on the employees and didn't listen to them. Ohana even tells him to his face that he was doing a shitty job and it's his fault the waitresses quit. She didn't get mad at the waitresses for not putting up with it. She was mad that they were apathetic and unprofessional while on the job then badmouthed it after they quit when they never took their job seriously. A strong character doesn't mean smart or perfect. Ohana is definitely a strong female character but she's active and determined, always speaks her mind, and doesn't let anything get in her way.
>>274811921The first time watching I wasn’t exactly bored but I didn’t find the story that interesting. I dropped around ep 7 or something like that.Years pass and my taste grows heavily into SOL/drama/iyashikei. Last year somehow I remember Hanasaku Iroha and how I dropped it. I restart the series from the beginning and what do you know I really liked it and finished it this time. Now this thread made me consider to rewatch it. It’s really good!
Why is Natsuki Hanae such a bigshot Shonen seiyuu now? I remember when he was just Wein From Tari Tari and Hikari from Nagi no Asukara. What was his big break?
>>274824932A martyr complex isn't exclusively built on self-pity, it's built on any willful pursuit of suffering in the name of self-righteousness. That's Ohana. Ohana constantly takes on burdens and denies herself things she wants in the name of that labor itself being a virtue, and she as well projects this onto other people as an assessment of their character. Ohana quite literally believes hard work is its own reward. She's fucking nuts man, the show just doesn't quite understand that.
>>274822589Wagies in the countryside at a traditional Inn, it was comfy.
Can anyone tell me what happened in the sequel Novel for Hanasaku Iroha?I know Tari Tari's sequel novel was kind of grim with Chinatsu becoming a single mom and Sawa's horse dying.
>>274825518Ohana is not seeking out suffering and she doesn't think of herself as a martyr no matter how you try to twist it. She's just passionate about her work and has a can-do attitude.
>>274815011I agree that Nako is more resilient than Ohana but she's a sub too.
Why isn't there one of those webms showing all the shots of Ohana's bare feet?
>>274818304But the business wasn't failing. It was stable and doing fine. The key issue was legacy customers dying. But there could've been ways around that. By selling up as that sector decreases. It has everything it needs to be successful. It's just a matter of putting the pieces together right.
>>274808550Too based for this show.
>>274826679cute feet

>>274831903>Yunosagi Station is a railway station located in the vicinity of Kissuiso. It's based on Nishigishi Station, railway station on the Nanao Line in the city of Nanao, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It has a symbolic Yunosagi station sign, which was unveiled on April 29, 2011.
>>274831903Kanazawa

>>274825553>Chinatsu becoming a single momBut why? She's literally perfect.
>>274829798
>>274838276She had a mega woman moment
picked it up yesterday, now at Episode 15.Such a comfy SoL, fantastic. I'm very happy with it. The animation is cool and with attention to details. Character writing is interesting and warmhearted.
>>274841052Best episode by far. I love it when PAW does those bizarre guest episodes
ARE YOU FESTING IT UP
>>274844059Why does PA Works love feet so much?
>>274846472If you appreciate beauty, then you love young girls' feet
Ohana is a MILF now
>>274846472Pink Aoi's something something feet
>>274850655Wiser words have never been spoken
>>274840361Yep. Chinatsu wanted to raise the baby on her own without the father. She broke up with the father.
>>274809714Nako is a future baby factory based on how many of her siblings she helped raise
>>274809714Hey Ohana's Mom at least married her dad. Didn't you see how ikemen her dad was?
Ohanadad
>>274843452This looks a bit like it was drawn by Kishida Mel
>>274860088It is. Kishida Mel is Hanasaku Iroha's character designer
>>274860953oh nice, didn't know that
>>274858700Literally built for mating press. Whoever married Nako is the luckiest guy on earth
>>274862510I wonder why Nako is so much older than her siblings.
>>274808343>IyashikeiIt's a fucking soap opera and the opposite of comfy. Are you a woman perchance?
>>274862510It should be me and no one else.
I used to watch this at least once a year, but shit happened, and I've been taking a breakI'll get to it eventually, but I've seen this series like 20 times or so
>>274813680>We know you post here, KevinWhat the fuck is going on in this thread though
>>274813889Post evidence
>>274818143she just is okay
>>274825553>sequel Novel for Hanasaku Iroha?Wait, what? There's a sequel novel?
>>274864699>shits out this post and leaves the thread
>>274865585Yeah, it was released years ago, but no one translated it
>>274865817What the fuck are you talking about? You're the first person to reply to me.
>>274808343The first half is definitely better than the second half, but it's still a favorite of mine.
>>274864699>shits out this post and comes back to the thread
>>274865847What the fuckWhat is the plot even aboutConsidering it's my favorite anime I feel like I should've known this exists
>>274808343It was more of a coming-of-age story than iyashikei, but the girls were cute and the setting was great. I got excited when I saw the real life locations in a Japanese travel show and in Houkago Insomnia.
>it's not an iyashikei because there's coming-to-age narrativesYawn
This show felt like an old school shoujo but with more focus on character relationships and development than romanceshit. It was good
>>274866053>romanceshitIt must kill you that Ohana ended up with Ko-chan instead of Minchi.
>>274866338Why would it
>>274866385Anti-romance means anti-heterosexuality/anti-man. You probably consume a lot of yurishit and yuribait.
>>274866438I'm not even that anon but it's just funny that you make a wholeass freudian reading based on how anon was happy that the character beats weren't just a generic romanceCulture warriors are so funny
I hope the thread is up when I wake upI haven't seen a hanairo thread in years, it's fun
That hobiron tho
>>274822252Just one
>>274866047Not even close. Hanasaku Iroha is pure slice of life.

>>274870006>2014 Shirobako
>>274869814>Hanasaku Iroha is pure slice of life.it's pure melodrama
>>274870484>Shirobako was a decade ago Holy hell.
Drama = character faces a dilemma or event and most story events are related to understanding, solving or progressing that dilemma (or a couple of central dilemmas)Slice of Life = consists largely of daily life and a lot of "unnecessary" detail that's there for its own sake, and doesn't relate to a central dilemma or plotIyashikei = slice of life that is as pleasant as possible, can have light drama and relatable themes that resolve easily.Just started rewatching Hanasaku Iroha yesterday, already forgot what it was like but I remember the characters had some big drama running deep.In general PA Works shows tend to have big themes and drama, but also a lot of slice of life detail in a way where they aren't speedrunning the main plot.
>>274871181>Iyashikei = slice of life that is as pleasant as possible, can have light drama and relatable themes that resolve easily.That is not at all what iyashikei isIn fact, it doesn't need to be slice of life at all. The drama does not need to be light at all, the problems do not need to be solvable in an easy and quick fashion. Iyashikei is not a genre in a sense of what happens in the story, but rather, it is a mode of storytelling.It's okay to not know words, but it is not okay to pretend that you do and to spread your lack of knowledge.
>>274871257>a mode of storytellingOk, what's that? Some specific story structure? How the events make you personally feel? Try giving a more specific definition.
>>274871327tone, mainly
>>274871327I will list some iyashikei and you will notice a pattern:>Tamayura>Kamichu>Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou>Natsume Yuujincho>Mushishi>Umi ga KikoeruA little bitterness is expected from a medicine. It wouldn't work nearly as well, otherwise.If it's just cute girls doing cute things, there's not enough there to soothe a weary mind. It's like putting a band aid on a bullet wound.
>>274870006>2017 Sakura Quest
>>274871661I think you are defining it based on certain type of drama, when most online definitions say it's a subgenre of slice of life. A drama that hits right and personal can be healing but that's still just a good drama. If a big focus of the show is character changing or overcoming something, that's drama content. With drama I mean profound character story, not "drama" as in characters having arguments or the presentation being melodramatic. I can agree that a pure comedy entertainment doesn't count as iyashikei but it doesn't need to have bitterness or some profound realizations either. Where a slice of life comedy might be distracting (like band-aid), iyashikei is grounding. Gochiusa has these light-hearted character dramas that change your mood and help you put things into perspective, but it's not profound enough to call it drama.
>>274872384Sakura Quest was really mediocre. I don't remember almost anything about it except for the episode with Pink Aoi stripping down to her swimsuit to ride that machine...
Towards the end, they bring up how the inn isn't just the grandma's inn anymore (since she and her husband built it up from nothing basically). That's because everyone is so passionate about the inn now, clearly different from everyone's attitude at the start. I thought that was really interesting.In the end though, it seems grandma wanted to close the inn on her own terms. She saw everyone spreading themselves too thin in that last-ditch effort to keep the inn going and it leads to a reduction in customer service. I totally understand how grandma didn't want the inn to lose the two defining things of her inn, namely meticulous customer service and a relaxed atmosphere (this couldn't be maintained with everyone running around like a headless chicken). I think it was her good right to call it quits, even though it was against the wishes of everyone else.
>>274873762I would say it was better than mediocore but I watched it only once. Don’t know if I care enough to rewatch it.
>>274869185>directed by Quentin Tarantino
This one and tari tari or whatever that singing show was called really felt comfy to me
>>274876414Trantino can only dream of reaching a directing this godly
I remember rooting for the cook guy as the ideal husbando for Ohana
>>274869814>>274871181Yes yes I too enjoy claiming that fluid "genre" definitions are absolute, it's my hobby online
>>274872478>most online definitions say it's a subgenre of slice of lifeand most online definitions are wrong because people on the internet don't know shit, especially westerners talking about a japanese media trend from the mid 90s.
>>274880032How do you win against this creatura
>>274880032Best character in the show.
Nano R.I.P my ears
>>274880259
>>274880305
>>274880205You don't, just accept it
>>274871661>>274872478I agree more with the first anon. Iyashikei is more about the serene atmosphere. It's questionable if something like Natsume Yuujinchou can be classified as slice of life but there's no way in hell it isn't iyashikei. Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, the quintessential iyashikei, is all about characters changing.
>>274881434>wait, this isn't herons
>>274884737holy moly
>>274885311sniiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffff
>>274871181Iyashikei in the most literal sense just means "healing". That typically means slow-paced and comforting, but it also implies there's something painfully recognizable between the lines the viewer needs to be healed from.HanaIro has the hurting part down (doubly so if you're past the age where a stint at a picturesque ryoukan would be enough to put your life back on track), but it doesn't do enough healing to qualify as medicine.The girls had fun and learned a lot, but the world is still unfair and the inn still has to shut down.>>274871661>A little bitterness is expected from a medicine.That sums it up better than I could have, so I don't know why I still submitted this post.
Ohana's a strong girl
>>274887241FOR MEBut seriously, I want her to plap my cheeks like that
>>274887465it's a very satisfying animation yeah
>>274887465>not wanting to plap her soft cheeks
I miss Double Saten
comfiest anime of that year.
>>274888249that was Ano Hana
>>274885311I prefer Ohana's butt
>>274809609>>274817768An 11/10 stuck in a 6/10 show.
>>274891433I can never look at this image without thinking of THAT edit
>>274813033The only domme you're getting from that inn is the granny.
>>274866491We literally see this anti-romance, anti-man sentiment from anime characters themselves (pic related). If an anime fan says he hates romance, what he actually means is that he hates heterosexuality and men in general.
>>274813033>this should be fun to watchAre you watching from The Chair too?
>>274892492Why would you tie your entire masculinity into some slop that's shat out for Japanese kids I would breed Kobeni though
>>274891728Hanasaku Iroha is a solid 9/10 show
>>274808343I love them
How many kids would Ohana and Kou-chan have by now
>>2748951700 because they leave impregnating Ohana to meWe have a system
>>274895170>Kou-chanWho?
>>274808343My favorite P.A. Works anime. And Ohana is the only good self-insert Okada has ever written.
>>274897313That's because her mom is the self-insert iirc
>>274895437>Ohana peeking into my room and peparing to again clean up the gallons of ossan cum I shot out thinking about her
>>274897448No, Ohana's mom is based on Okada's own mom. That's strong support for the idea that Ohana is the self-insert.
>>274898315I might be remembering this ass up but I was certain I read an interview the granny was her mom and Okada was Satsuki, and that's why she got so much lead time and even her own movieCan't be assed to double check though
>>274898708You remembered wrong. In that interview, she said Satsuki is based on her own mom.
>>274899147In that case it's hilarious she made Satsuki more in-depth character than her own proxy, but I was really hoping you'd dig up the interview from somewhere and verify, because otherwise it's just spit balling. I might even actually read it once I wake up.
>>274899186Not from an interview but from her autobiographyhttps://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2017-09-06/how-mari-okada-went-from-shut-in-to-anime-director/.120417>By then, Okada was in her thirties, and at last she felt that she could understand her mother's feelings. So she decided to write her mother into Hana-Saku Iroha.>In the anime, Ohana's mother is a selfish and irresponsible woman. But Okada was sympathetic toward her, understanding that her own mother wished she could have been a free spirit yet felt constrained by her responsibilities.
>>274808343The melodrama completely drowns out any kind of comfy or feel good the series could've had.
>>274810269>>274810389>>274810419>There may be in a few years, but there wasn't during the period the series took place in.Lol hell no. It's actually a big problem here right now, as all the Ryokan owner operator families are dying off, the you ger generations don't want to take over because the customers are also becoming less. There are towns such as Naruko Onsen in Miyagi Prefecture that will 100% disappear in the next 10-20 years, whereas just 20 years ago they were absolutely bustling. Getting into the traditional Ryokan business these days is just asking to lose it all. It's actually so bad these days, that many of the larger ryokans now have almost completely non Japanese staff lmfao. Even the big spots like Ginzan now employee non Japanese at their "traditional Japanese Ryokan." The Japan you watch in anime has been dead for about a decade and a half.
>>274900164Maybe the industry will slim down but I highly doubt it's going to completely die off because when you think about it, it's just a fancy hotel/spa resort and there will always be a customer base for that, even if it is entirely a bunch of gaijin going for the authentic Japan hotel folded 1000 times experience.
>>274887951Pointing to her two flower hairpins because her name is Ohana
>>274809714Nako is a teen with mommy energy. Ohana has "liable to become a teen mom" energy. Note the difference.
Will Minchi be forever alone though? What would being married to her be like?
>>274900164>as all the Ryokan owner operator families are dying off, the you ger generations don't want to take overno, this is just rural flight, an issue Japan has been having for the past hundred or so
nakadashi nako
The backgrounds in this are so good
>>2749012812011-2014 anime girls have best bodies
>YOU GOT TO FEST IT U-AAACCCCKKKK!
>>274808343ive been putting off watching it for years and when i finally did, it was much nicer than i expectedit had its weak moments with the drama, but a positive experience overallnot something i would rewatch thoughmaybe when im closer to kicking the bucket and just reminiscing old days
I want Ohana to leave insulting messages on my omurice!
>>274906529Love how the first thing that comes out of her mouth is "go die" . Now that I think about it, it's like someone from 4chan wrote her
>>274895170I want to say a lot, but how many children can Ohana's tiny body take giving birth to?
>>274899943Or maybe you just can't get past the drama because you're a silly goober, ever thought about it that way?
Minchi was built for hard anal
>>274906814ThisBut I'm going to have sex with her afterwards anyway!
>>274904129She would look at you like this
>>274910790What a slut.
this show is shockingly erotic
>>274911648It's the Ohana effect
>>274911768I think you meant the Nako effect.
>Minko is one letter away from manko...I think I get why she's always a bitch now.
>>274904129Hopefully. Chef guy should just pork Nako
>>274913166He wants Ohana though, or you mean Ren?
>>274911872You mean the Minko effect
>>274913408>shiburin but worseWho is the target audience for this?
>>274913442My penis, mostly
>>274913718Have you told him the good news about Nako?
>>274913845He's awake to the gospel, but realistically speaking you can't hatefuck Nako, and the peepee wants what it wants
>>274913908Naruhodo, I've been enlightened.
Nako feels like too much of a grandma for me to be into her, she acts like she's 80 not 16.
>>274914014funny best the best girl is the actual grandma
>>274914030Satsuki isn't a grandma yet though
>>274914093but Sui is.
reminds me i bought a figure of ohana on release but i've never opened the boxshe must be so sticky after all these years
>>274914316Yet she isn't the best girl, curious
>>274914578maybe if someone had no taste, they'd say that
>>274914030Visual proof right here
>>274914492Yeah give her some fresh air I unboxed all my figures after finding parts had gone all tacky for one (a Madoka nendo).
>>274914645>grandmafuckers flaunting their dry tasteLmao even
>>274914014do grandmas look like this?
>>274913185Ohana isn't an option because she's for Kou
>>274914892Yeah
>>274914892If you impregnate Nako at 12, and then wait another 12 years to impregnate Nako's daughter, then it is possible.
>>274914912Kou was dating the girl at the bookshop though.
>>274914998He wasn't. Do you not remember how this ended?
>>274826426>>274825518>>274824932>>274823088You're both wrong to some degree. Ohana works hard at first to try to get back at all the people against her and prove them wrong. She's basically trying to show that she won't give in, no matter what hardship is thrown at her. But soon after she begins working hard because she feels like it gives her meaning and a place to belong. Basically, it all stems from having abandonment issues as well as being tossed into a precarious situation by her slut of a mom.
>>274911768Ohana is so effortlessly and unintentionally sexy
>>274811389>Buddy Daddies I wrote off because it looked gay Kek
>>2748146903 shades of grille
Hanairo would still today visually pass as a high budget seasonal, it's strangely good
>>274876414>>274878033That little nymphette! That harpy!
>>274885311>>274885633
>>274914975>If you impregnate Nako at 12, and then wait another 12 years to impregnate Nako's daughter, then it is possible.
>>274914014And that's a bad thing why?>>274914702If you ignore the sexual aspect the based grandma is in fact best girl.
I can't remember if I liked this show more than other PA stuff from the time but it definitely had the best girls from them all.
>>274916079>entire modus operandi is just autistically grappling with a dead husbando>so shit parent that her shortcomes reflect generations later on OhanaYeah very based yes yes
>>274916294>loyal to her husband and their shared dream even after his death>incredible hardworker and duty driven>disciplines her wagies and they love her for it>was right about everythingYeah, she's bets girl.
>>274916842>was right about everything>couldn't even save the innGrannylovers...
>>274916989wow, how is it her fault her son is a witless retard, despite teaching him everything
>>274917316>both children turn out to be autistic and borderline non-functionalIt's as if there's a pattern here...
>>274917460yes, their father was a wasteit should've been me.
>>274917510I was thinking something more about physically abusing her kids, but you do you
>>274809609Vgh
>>274918516Finally the real best girl
Minchisex
Hobiron sex
>>274921609OhanasexThat means: sex with the Ohana
ohana means family
>>274921694Ohana means filling inn workers with my ossan cum uooooooooHHH!
Granny sex
>>274885311No one has the gif of this? I lost all my Hanairo pictures awhile back.
I want to literally and metaphysically become sex with OhanachanI want to fuck her in that stupid bunk bed and make her cum so hard her toes curl, while Minchi pretends not to listen on the lower bed, shlicking furiouslyI want to tear through the inn uniforms and continue the Matsumae tradition of being very bad single mothers because only way I'll be torn away from that tight pussy if I die
>>274923528Have this fresh webm instead
>>274923938Hot
>>274923938Only reason this clip is good is because it has O'hana feeta
>>274916294>>274923703It's pretty impressive that Ohana is a good girl with no positive mother figures in her life since the problem goes back to her grandmother. But I bet she'll be a good mother.
>>274926776She can't be any worse than the previous two Shijima women.
>>274927889Just wait for when she has her own kid and tries to force her to work in some hotel
Why aren't there any good lewds of this show what the heck
>>274929165It has some doujins, which is more than can be said about most originals
>>274813239>Its dead, just like modern anime, escapism that isn't isekai = bad.Hey now anon, it's not all isekai! There's still the tourism propaganda escapism shows!
>>274880343Man, shitposting used to mean something. Now you just have to pretend to be stupid and delusional.
>>274866338>>274866438>>274892492This is hilarious, some of you guys really live like this?
>>274931849>"why do you notice things, what are you a looser?">he said, on 4chan
>>274932000>noticeYou didn't notice shit. Sperg that you are, you completely misinterpreted a very obvious opinion about romance and drama cliches and have continued to spout nonsense because the only thing you care about are your increasingly delusional interpretations of the world.
>>274878033He's talking about feet anon
>>274892492nta but cutting in. I hope you aren't talking about the show you posted. It's a romance cgdct series.
>>274925796>>274857770From this pool cleaning scene, it's Nako's feet that people keep posting, but it really showed how good Ohana's feet look even in motion while she's running. This anime really went all out in getting the art and animation of her feet right. God, Ohana is so cute.
>>274932000And pray tell, what did you "notice"?Not everyone is out to get you. You don't have any enemies, you know.
>>274808343Wow
