Hanasaku Iroha VS Anohana – The official Rivalry post

Two Masterpieces. You choose.

Well obviously people have pitted these two together even before both of them aired (Obviously though they’re different shows but pitting them together is fun). They both promise something great for the Slice-of-Life/Drama department. Both arebeing made by highly acclaimed studios. Hanasaku Iroha was hyped on the premise that this is the 10th anniversary project of PA Works. Anohana was hyped on the premise that this will be an original work directed by the staff of Toradora. Iroha has 26 episodes for development while Anohana has to live up to the “Everything in Noitamina block is amazing” which Fractale failed to do so last season.

Now after 6 episodes of Iroha and 4 of Anohana, how is this rivalry going?

Hansaku Iroha:

GODLY writing for the first two episodes. + 10

Started going for the more lighthearted root afterwards (I don’t hate this decision) +- 0

Slowly Developing each character in each episode (Reminiscent of Railgun which I thoroughly love) + 5

Bitchy female supporting character + 2

Ohana Goodness +3

Fanservice – 2 (Admittedly they do do it very seamlessly. The fanservice fits the situation)

Morning Korean drama copycat +7

Production Values +5

Overall: 30 POINTS

Anohana

Long Name +3

Saves Noitamina from dying +5

Made me cry on the first episode +3

Friends theme is very imminent (Like in Railgun which I thoroughly love) + 5

Bitchy Closet Crossdresser who is my favorite character this season + 10

Nokemon Battles + 6

Fanservice – 1 (That out of place one from episode 2, but hey why do I care so much?)

Overall: 31 POINTS

Well all in all, I LOVE BOTH OF THIS SERIES. Well I’m a bit biased and I do like Anohana a bit more but for the most part, we still don’t know yet. Anohana has the 11-episode curse while HanaIro is getting 26 episodes so HanaIro might take over after more episodes. The lead of Anohana isn’t even that big and both series are great so HELL JUST ENJOY BOTH OF IT. We rarely get this treat so might as well suck both of them up.

PS:

I’m a Railgunfag

I think Nichijou is the best series this season so I’m a Nichijoufag

The real reason I like Anohana more is because of Yuki-chan.

I’m also a Yuki-chanfag

Anohana – 04 Yuki-chan exposed

Menma’s been going to the gym lately

Our real hero, Yukiatsu, has been shamefully exposed this episode. We do not know how he will be treated by his co-busters but I’m pretty sure it’ll be handled well. It’s okay Yuki-chan, obsessing to the point of cross-dressing is totally normal. . . I think. From what I’ve learned from Hourou Musuko, Crossdressing is a hobby that shouldn’t be discriminated. Then again Nitori isn’t creepy or perverted. WAIT I’m defending Yukiatsu right?

Well, now that his barrier has been broken, what is next for or Hero? Finally accept the truth and become an Otaku or pretend that the barrier is still there and be a bitch in front of everyone? I’d choose the latter because that will make Yuki-chan more interesting.

I prefer Luigi over Mario but I don’t know about Mario Menma and Luigi Menma. Maybe I’ll play the 2-player but Luigi Menma is too burly.

After the dress sniffing last episode, what is Yuki-chan up to now?

This Yukiatsu guy. . . I know him. He is definitely a friend of mine. He’s one of those friends who have a shell of being cold and acting cool but there’s something wrong inside. He’s one of those guys who will actually fall into petty issues if it seems big or okay to delve into. I mean just look a t him, pretending to see Menma. At the first episode we see him pitying Jintan for still caring about this Menma girl then an opportunity came which allowed him to reveal a little bit of his creepiness, thus the fake revelation that HE saw Menma. No offense I love this Yukiatsu guy. He might just be my favorite character. I appreciate his efforts on putting a fake exterior and this fakeness that’s hard to crack.
