Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu Discussion Thread

[Suwako Moriya]

It won't be long before the next season starts and we can once more worship the greatness that is Yuno. Along with the rest of the cast. Heck, we'll even get some new characters.

Yeah, I decided it was close enough and darn it, I feel it's my destiny to make this thread. It's going to be a long week waiting for the first episode to air. Hopefully just as Kampfer and Nyan Koi were shown in 16:9, this will be as well.

One thing we wont be short of for this third series of Hidamari Sketch is avatars...

Without competition my most anticipanted new series of the season, and probably my most anticipated of 2010, unless I'm forgetting something blatantly obvious.

It would take a very powerful series being announced for airing in 2010 to surpass the level of anticipation I have for more Hidamari Sketch.

K-ON! might have had a chance, but there's no way of knowing yet if we'll be getting season 2 in 2010 or later. Actually even if it were announced for 2010, I'd probably still give it second place.

Also, as much as I love GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class, it's hard to compare a mere one or two OVA episodes to an entire cour.

So, yeah as of current Hidamari Sketch wins for me.

So we start off the third season with all the girls getting up. Hiro might have the best body in the series.

Heh, it looks like something of Yuno's broke.

Must be one of those hectic mornings.

There are stars in the opening. Yes, there is definitely somne focus on stars. Actually I think the stars might be getting too much screen time. Still the song is decent, but like any other song I may need to listen to it again.

(It's the return of Doki Doki Visual Commercials. Just a random side note)

Yuno gets depressed by what she sees on her test paper.

Yoshinaya confirms for us that she has yet to change.

Is Yuno's chest larger or am I just perverted?

Well, at least Yuno managed to do better this time.

Heh, the variety of outfits we get to see Yuno in this episode is awesome.

I get the feeling they're preparing rooms for new people. At least I hope that's the case.

This is definitely a set up episode, but set up episodes like this work quite well.

Nazuna finally makes her appearance in the episode. The girl seems to be quite nervous.

On the other hand, Nori seems to be more together.

It looks like they finally ran into each other.

Yuno has her bath, it's a real episode! They seem to be getting bolder and bolder in terms of what they show.

Ah, the classic show photos of the characters while everyone talks to each other.

The ending song is nice is off to a nice start.

[Fudce]

This episode was a thousand times wonderful! It's great to get Hidamari Sketch back, and more than just back, it's continuing.

Very much a set-up episode, but was nice to finally sort-of meet Nazuna and Nori. It'll be interesting to see if they get paired off together like Hiro/Sae and Yuno/Miya did, or if they really do act as two. I've not seen enough to really get to know them obviously, but Nazuna looks like she's going to make me want to hug her, and Nori will make me laugh.

I'm interested at which will be which in regards to the two new character symbols. There's a funny face and a computer mouse.. Nori looks to be the one that would be more tech-savvy to me, but appearances can always be decieving, and a funny face doesn't really suit Nazuna at first glance either. The "no smoking" mug however fits the Landlady perfectly.

That's not entirely true. Sae has the best body, in that Sae clearly has Hiro's body.

I'd completely forgot just how stitch-centric Hidamari Sketch was, I saw at least five possible stitch ops waiting to be taken advantage of in the episode, and godknows how many avatars Suika and I will make between us...

Not only do I want Nazuna and Nori paired together, I want Hiro and Sae to "educate" the two. Heck, I like to pretend that off screen Yuno and Miyako to extra credit lessons.

Well, I can't argue with that logic.

Heh, I still need to finish capturing from the episode. Sort of got delayed because I decided to do a massive catch up of other series.

As well as the fact I'm working on another avatars for another Winter series right now.

It would probably be for the best if I let you handle the stitches since you have more experience. I think I'll be fine continuing with Jewel Pet. Even if the last stitch I attempted end up having me decide to just give up on it for now.

[Suwako Moriya]

The way Yuno said "stew" and those other words in English was quite adorable and even attractive.

It seems like they're more willing to cover multiple dates in a single episode than they were in the first series I'm still expecting there to be plenty of time jumps. Especially given that next time would be 4/6, 4/7, and 7/19

It's so adorable I have gone back and rewatched that scene several times already.

I figure it this way, if I've only watched that scene 50 times then I have not seen it enough. (If you think 50 is not dramatic enough then raise to whatever you desire)

On a side note, I think I figured out which symbol is for which of the new girls, Given that they talk about how the girl in room 103 wanted an internet connection and that girl is Nori..... So there is a good chance she is the "mouse".

[jlazar]

That was a fun start to the season.

We get some time with the existing characters and then a brief look at the new ones. Hard to say how I'll like the new ones, but a cute compter geek and a cute shy girl are nice starts.

Nice partents who take the 4 girls out to lunch, but aren't there when their daughter arrives.
