For what it's worth, the OP is so, so good and so is the ED. Totally getting the singles.

Episode 1
 

Oh god. This show. THIS SHOOOOOOW

It was pretty much the most insane thing KyoAni has done since Nichijou.

Just, completely bonkers, with great expressions and physical comedy.

Re: Episode 1
 

I'm not entirely sure what the fuck I just watched, but it was fantastic.

Adorable imouto is adorable (and has the most appropriate reaction to a talking bird: kimochiwarui).

Also, KyoAni has given me a new fetish: neck moles.

Re: Episode 1
 

The bird stole the show. That bird got SWAG and really was entertaining to watch. But, the end...what the hell with the projection.

Oh god, the ED and preview...Tamako with her hair down! HNNNG.

Now, I have an urge for mochi and anpan.

Re: Episode 1
 

Alright, I guess I might as well watch at least one episode on release day, since I'll likely be sitting on it until Saturday nights for all remaining episodes.

Episode 1:

- A mochi tree. >_> Merry Mochimas?
- Hahah I swore the BGM was going into the Imperial March for a second there. Also, I love the bird after one line.
- The OP looks, as usual, amazing. Also those pumping knees, what a Clannad flashback.

- Ono Daisuke, you are the loveliest woman-man-thing ever.
- ...Oh good god. This... this is going to be weird. Every time the bird talks, I just hear Kayneth from Fate/Zero. >_________>
- The cast is stacked with super-veteran older male seiyuu, really.
- Hidaka Rina's Anko is adooooooorably.
- Hahahah, the bird is trying to be suave and cool and all Anko can say is "kimochiwarui" with a very concerned and disgusted look. :sd:
- I'm really loving Suzaki Aya as Tamako.
- The bird just got a nosebleed. >_>

- Very nicely drawn mochi hands.
- Kanna <3
- "It's her fault for putting her forehead there." Tamako's friends are awesome.

- ...Bird, that was a scary lustful face there.
- And goddamn he put on weight.
- Don't make An cry ;_;
- Heh. He doesn't get he tearful goodbye he's hoping for.
- Hahah, an entire drawer full of gifts Mochizou was too embarrassed to give Tamako.

- And everyone forgets to give her gifts this year. All thanks to a silly choking bird.
- Kanna awaits Tamako's confession of love. :sd:
- ...eye beams.

Tamako with her hair down! Maaaaaan I love the ED, even more than the OP. Tamako looks a hell of a lot like Eru in the close-ups. Adorable.

Goddamn, Tamako is just the most magnificently sweet and wonderful girl ever. <3

Re: Episode 1
 

I must be in a bad mood. It just didn't work for me. Kimochiwarui indeed.

Re: Episode 1
 

- Since when did plants come with a bird?
- That's no ordinary chicken. It talks, and his name is Dera Disgusting Mochi. What kind of name is that?
- The bird is freezing to death, but it's the bathhouse to the rescue. No, you can't see the girls naked.
- New Year's Day is around the corner. Gotta work OT in the mochi factory.
- That bird sure loves to eat mochi, but he has gotten too big.
- It's an emergency! The bird choked on a mochi. Wait, he's alright if he puts it back in his throat.
- About Tamako's birthday. Wait, how did they forget about it?
- And the bird has a built-in projector.

KyoAni has done it once again, and this show is definitely great. It's cute and the antics of the bird is certainly great.

Re: Episode 1
 

Definitely not a favorite so far, but with KyoAni, I'm sure there will be some good stuff eventually.

Re: Episode 1
 

I started out liking it, but by the end of the episode, I was actually pretty bored. Kind of hope it picks up.
