It's somewhat between a show like Kiniro Mosaic and Tamayura: Hitotose. It's about a group of girls who work or are friend with the girls who work at a coffee shop. I'll be honest, I didn't really like the first season of the show. It might have been that it aired in a particularly strong season but not liking a show from one of my favorite genres takes some work. However, the second season really did something, it ramped up the moe meter full force. Even the art style is cuter than that of the first season. The cast is basically a bunch of moeblob girls doing moe girl things. They honestly are not as memorable as some of the front runner characters in the genre (aka Kyoani shows) but they work together well as a group and the individual plots for each segment are enjoyable. There's really nothing to talk about though since it's a slice of life show and this one doesn't really go for anything except being cute. IMO the show lacks a carry or a type of tone that would catapult it passed other shows in this genre that have yet to be listed. Even so it remains an enjoyable watch for those who like the genre. Oh, also. The ED is probably the cutest thing I've seen in the season. 42. Owarimonogatari https://myanimelist.net/anime/31181/Owarimonogatari Owari is the... I've lost count how many monogartari entries there are. The series itself is a type of mystery/comedy drama or whatever show. Each season has a slightly different tone which is why it's hard to really pin down exactly where to classify it. In any case Owari is one of the better entries. It's divided into three (four) main arcs. The first two are pretty much like a set up for later on and don't require too much knowledge of past events, but as it goes on and more characters appear it's clear that the anime looks to dig deep into back stories of already established characters from the past. Something that is welcome. As far as the characters go the only real new character is Sodachi Oikura and I can't talk much about her. But it does have major focus on both Shinobu and Suruga Kanbaru (who is my favorite girl). The latter one gets a ton of backstory. Suruga herself really already got some in Bakemonogatari and gets more in Hana. In any case the actual interactions of the characters this season is great. At some points it feels like the cast does not really interact with characters outside of Araragi. I felt like even though other seasons were decent, it lacked a sense of connection from each arc is not something this season suffers from as much. If you are a fan of the series you'll probably enjoy this segment but it can take some time to get used to the change in tone for this season in particular. For those not initiated... you have quite a lot of catchup to do. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886934930] in Kokoro's t...
