Weskalia's Hanasaku Iroha Tv Review

Rated: 8

Hanasaku Iroha is a lovely series with lovely animation, lovely art, lovely music score and works in a lovely sentiment. It is simply a sweet, straight-up youth drama about a girl trying to make her way in a new and hostile environment armed only with her determination to change for the better. The story can be criticized as simple, though some plot twists, character developments and amazing storytelling will certainly give an interesting impeccability. It may not have the "wow" factor for a slice-of-life story, but in a way, the solid entry and execution make Hanasaku Iroha a touching story of growing up and establishes itself as one of the best series without any struggle. With a sweet smile, of course.

It's the first time in a while that I watched an anime that interest me this much and I could relate to everyday life.
The way Ohana worked hard in Yunosagi, and with Kou-chan really touched my heart~ lol XD

Ohana was left in care of her grandmother whom she hadn't seen for a long time in an inn called Kissuiso, though she started off with her everyone looking down on her, her persistence and perseverance is her good points that was able to let her fights of the tribulations faced by the inn itself.


A typical slice of life series but holds a great story and meaning in each episodes, Ohana's traits of never giving up is one of the thing that changes everyone in the end. It's one Anime that you won't get disappointed if you're needing for a slice of life.

It's a slice-of-life series which is a genre I don't watch too often. After seeing art and PV's for the show, I thought I would give this show a shot and see how I like it because it seems like it could turn out to be interesting. I actually think the anime itself is very nice looking; the characters designs are quite pretty. I liked the grandmother, but until the third episode she's come off very cold-hearted, but it was amazing to hear her words of encouragement to Jiroumaru but listening to her acknowledge Ohana was just amazing. The differnet attitudes of the characters are nice. Ohana reminds me a lot of myself. Jiro is a completely fool, in a funny way. It was also nice to be able to see a bit of Nako's home life, I'm sure it must be difficult for her, since she's working, going to school, and then having to come home and cook dinner and take care of her three siblings. I know it must be overwhelming to balance all those things and still try to find time for herself, being able to do all that is quite admirable. It's also nice to see Nako speak up a bit more and become more outgoing. Tomoe cracks me up with the things she says and does sometimes. Minchi has a good attitude but she let's her anger over Ohana and Tōru's relationship turn her into a bit of an unlikeable character sometimes, even though her reason is because she likes Tōru as well so she feels like Ohana is stealing him away from her. It was really nice to see that Ko and Ohana confessed their feelings for each other. The ending was bittersweet. This is a show focused on self-discovery. And the hardest thing in the world is probably trying to figure out just what and who you are. The one thing I’m taking away from this show is that even though life is generally crappy and will deal you some pretty crappy cards, it shouldn’t stop you from living it up while you figure out just who you are. With a great cast, and a great team behind it, I think anyone can enjoy this show, I recommend it for anyone to watch and I think anyone can enjoy it; I certainly did.

Gostei dessa serie mas ve-la até o fim me exigiu uma extrema vontade de conclui-la. Isso pq os dois fansubs que a legendaram por completo em pt-br a meu ver a fizeram nas coxas.... tradução e também adaptação de frases simplismente horrivel!!! Muitas ficaram completamente sem sentido!!!!! Em muitas partes a impressão que passava era que quem traduziu aquilo usou direto o tradutor do google. Sou da opinião que se for pra fazer algo mau feito então que nem comecem! O que me fez não largar essa serie foi a vontade de ve-la até o fim. De ver onde ela iria dar. O que aconteceria com os personagens e com o Kissuisou. Alias os personagens são suuuper carismaticos!

Hanasaku Iroha was a great surprise for me that season. I just loved it since the first episode! All the characters catched me, specially Ohana Matsumae, Nako Oshimizu, Minko Tsurugi and Kouichi Tanemura. Can't wait for the next episodes! ?
