I don't usually watch iyashikei, but I'll be damned if this wasn't the most relaxing show of 2016. I really liked the end where Tanaka realizes just how much he loves and appreciates his friends, it was very heartwarming.
Also,Miyanois best girl.
This looks like it might be good
Pretty much on the virtue that it's a boy and not another girl.
>>151804586
Why would it matter if it was a girl?
>>151804664
Because they're a dozens of "girl in school and she goes to an all girls school and all her friends are girls and they have cute moments"
Just the fact that he's a boy means it will play out differently, and on top of that when someone takes the time to do something differently, it means they're generally good at writing anyway so it'll be well written.
Presumably, of course. It could be shit.
>>151804851
Sounds like you have rather specific tastes, but it is a good show.It's got a thoroughly loveable cast of characters both male and female
>>151804981
I thought Echizen was tall as fuck. How come she's so small?
miyano is so cute
>>151804851
it's nice to see them talk about stuff like this at least
>>151805469
That doesn't look like it's accurate to their actual heights. You can see Echizen's proportions look smaller compared to the others.
> most relaxing show of 2016
I'd agree, based on what I saw. It's pure lighthearted fun. That said, it does follow a lot of standard tropes for high school comedy shows, and I'd probably pick something else for iyashikei-of-the-year.
>>151805929
yeah and miyano is like half ecchan's height. Not just a head shorter.
>>151804161
To much yaoi in it.
>>151804161
It the best anime of 2016.

This show was so relaxing i felt like I wasn't even watching it at times.

Fuck

Manga chapters have been cmfy too.

>iyashikei
Everything is iyashikei these days according to you faggots. Goddamn, I wonder what term becomes a buzzword next.
>>151807828
Latest scanlated chapter was too cute
>>151808428
>ponytail
cute
>>151805846
Except he already fell in love with Ohta. That's the only person he puts forth any effort for at all.
>>151807835
>Iyashikei (癒し系) is Japanese for "healing", a term used for anime and manga created with the specific purpose of having a healing or soothing effect on the audience.
How is Tanaka-kun not an iyashikei?
>>151805846
The problem with that is that when you finally do finally meet a girl who makes you want to put in the effort, you have no idea what to do and she marries an amateur MMA fighter.
>>151805846
lol what is Hyouka lite?
>>151808793
Hyouka wishes it were this good. It's more like Tanaka Edge.
>>151808428
>ponytail
She honestly looks like Popula from working!!!.
>>151808793
The main characters are superficially similar but Tanaka-kun is pure SoL.
Who is guy who confessed to Rino?
>>151808765
I'm suspecting he's yurifag
>>151804981
This not to scale image is bothering the shit out of me.
I'm glad this shit has been mostly forgotten (after merely 6 months). Flying Witch did iyashikei a lot better this year.
Imoutos didn't get enough screen time
>>151810717
What a ininspired shitposting
>>151810717
As if FW isn't mostly forgotten as well.
>>151810825
>inispired
Sorry I didn't like your favorite show about a 15yo admitting 10 times per episode he is listless, lazy and apathetic while a troupe of sycophants enables his anemia.
>>151811022
>>151811022
Nobody asked you to express your dislike of the show while "casually" bringing up another show to attempt fanbase war, anon.
>>151808714
HHHNNNNGGGGGG
>>151811233
Iyashikei is mostly about the tone set by the characters, the visuals and the music. FW was more consistent in these regards while carrying an interesting and light-hearted plot without hammering you with the 'this is comfy relaxing SoL, even the MC admits it (time after time)' notion.
>to attempt fanbase war
Not my intention but OP literally said Tanaka-kun was the most relaxing show of 2016. He probably hasn't watched FW or Natsume.
>>151808530
>last panel
echizen a dork
>>151811651
Sounds like your problem is simply because you don't like the main character, which I do.
>the tone set by the characters, the visuals and the music.
The show did all this perfectly great. It's mostly episodic with no solid plot but so was FW.
>>151808765
It's just a straight-forward comedy.Just because it's slow-paced and cute doesn't make it "iyashikei".
>>151808714
Thanks for dumping friend.
>>151808793
Tanaka is Oreki if he were actually a half-decent character and likable.
Agreed, OP. Too bad GJM won't be releasing the rest of the bluray volumes with the specials for some time.
>>151804161
I watched the first episode of this but felt like I'd never really properly enjoy it. At the same time I feel a little guilty that if it was a girl as the main character I would have tried a little harder, probably
Watched the first episode, it was extremely boring. The main character is a self-centered asshole, extremely unlikable. The OP says he realizes that he's an asshole at the end of the show so it looks like there's that at least.
This thread needs more Saya.
Something about Flying Witch just didn't grab me. Probably the characters, they were way less bombastic and nuts than most Slice of life characters, which is good, but gets boring when they talk about whatever for like 15 minutes. It's refreshing having more normal characters, but then they just get boring to watch them interact.
>>151815238
At least your honest. I'd probably feel the same way if I didn't like the show as much as I did right off the bat.
>>151815548
You're alright.
Reminder that Miyano has a younger brother who is after Rino.
>>151815383
He's always self-awared that he's a dick, but changing his way is too troublesome so he just went with it.
And it's not like the people around mind him much.
>>151815238
But anon, the main character is a girl. She's right there, top-center in the OP pic.
>>151815944
Tanaka, Ohta, and Miyano all have an opposite sex younger sibling.
Does that mean we're getting Echizen and Shiraishi's younger brothers soon?
