Kin-iro Mosaic (TV) Hello! Kin-iro Mosaic (TV) Genres: Comedy, School, Slice of Life Plot:
Episode 1 This was an incredibly sweet first episode, it was just one those ones that could have been small OVA, and still be entertaining. Basically Shinbobu did a homestay in England, despite "hello" being the only English word she knows, it would seem that she was fascinated by how foreign it was, like the fact spoiler[people had blonde hair. She chased after Alice over that fact]. While Alice herself only seemed to pick up very small Japanese words, which made conversation a little hard. Alice herself seemed to have an interest in Japan, and was shocked that Shinobu spoiler[did not know about something from her own culture]. Her parents do seem to be able to speak Japanese very well. I think that I am going to like this series as I get the feeling that it is a great bridge between our Western culture, and the Japanese culture that I am interested in through anime. I especially liked the moment that Shinobu spoiler[entered the house without taking her shoes off, something that was very foreign to her own culture, and was then fascinated by the English styled house]. I also thought it funny that Shinobu was very open and quite unreserved, while Alice was very shy and reserved in way that felt like they were somewhat reversals of the expectations of their cultures. Alice is also surprisingly short which also makes the fact she is Caucasian of the same age as the taller Japanese girls kind of funny. I expect to hear Alice telling them what they should be like since they are Japanese. "Hello!" "Konnichiwa!" Last edited by DuskyPredator on Tue Apr 07, 2015 10:40 am; edited 1 time in total |

The all girl cast, slice of life is so dominant in this season. Despite that I liked the first episode and I will continue watching this. The english was pretty good in anime standards.

Yes, that was pretty adorable. This will probably be cute enough for me to keep watching.

Cute and the english was surprisingly good.
But seriously, the whole "western people wear their shoes inside the house" thing bugs me. I mean, we always take our shoes off here. It's just common sense. You don't want to track mud and stuff all over the house. |

First episode reminded me of Ikoku Meiro no Croisée, so I enjoyed it greatly. Will have to see how it keeps up.

Yeah blondie was wearing her boots while sitting on her bed. Talk about unhygienic. On that note, I always wondered how people let their pet dogs and cats on to their bed. Who knows what the animals have stepped on outside or touched. Now those germs are on their beds.... |

You've got an immune system, put it to good use! It's not like thunderstorms hospitalize us like they do they anime characters.

I care less about germs and more about "Arg, now I need to shampoo this carpet..."

Nah you are not giving them enough credit. All they need is a light drizzle. |

Man, this show is ADORABLE and highly entertaining! I liked the humor in the culture differences (particularly the hair pins) and all of the characters are so cute! This is actually my favorite new show of everything I've seen so far.

As a Brit, this show intrigues me. It's very cute so far, although they seem to think Britain is still stuck in the 1950's in some regards... Gonna keep watching this.

So it seems the Cartelets(a real name, contrary to my initial impression) have already been identified as living in Bibury:
I found the English voice acting to be decent(especially for those characters clearly not voiced by native Anglophones), with the only unforgivable flaw being the implication that anybody would want to eat miles and miles of sand. My biggest question regarding the series thus far is how long her English homestay lasted - it initially seemed to imply it lasted a while, but towards its end gave the impression of lasting only for a few days. |

Shinobu in spoiler[England.]
Well, it certainly is a change of setting. That kid is just totally spoiler[obsessed with the blonde kid.] It's a nice, relaxed friendship story. Just not my thing, will be skipping this one. |
