| Uh... this is just the first episode, but my impressions aren't good. The art was terrible, the comedy didn't reach me... the flow didn't fit my taste. I really did not enjoy this first episode as much as I thought I would have. Nonetheless, I had no problems with the previous two seasons, so I will give this season more chances before deciding whether to drop or keep watching it. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Animation was disappointing, Nevertheless, i enjoyed this first episode more than the second season, with its returning slapstick humour that entertained me. Still, its good to see minami-ke back. |
| Wasn't too bad, but there wasn't nearly enough Hosaka. |

 |
| okaeri chiaki, haruka and uchida! hmm not a bad start.. but not very impressive.. a few gliches in the art and low-profiled animation.. loved the heart-warming story though.. and the jokes on takeru and hosaka really makes my day! lol can't imagine wat kind of loser gets 100+ "daikyou"s ^^;;; "ZETTAI DAME" haha.. and "Cup Soba Genshou!" was a great catchphrase too ^^ just hope they made more effort on the art and animation |
 |
| Overall it was nothing special, only average in comparison to some of the great episodes in the first season. The animation was bad for a first episode and in comparison to season one, there wasn't much movement either, so I'm quite disappointed. The script wasn't that bad with some nice jokes and funny interactions, but without reaching the quality of season one in any aspect. |
| Okay, so mhy thoughts of the first ep: -Animation of the characters went a step back, unfortunately, though I got used to it half way of the episode. -Loved the orange on kana's finger trick :D xD -Still good no explainable jokes. -Can't wait. |

DeathfireD said: Chaki apparently likes Fujioka...or maybe that was just a joke either way it was funny when she pulled him over and sat on his lap and treated him like a chair. That's from the first season. She did that after Haruka told her that Fujioka reminded her of their father. One of the points I meant with "They first-season'd it too much". It didn't really make that much sense to dig up that all of a sudden after it was ignored during season 2 and most of season 1. I will forgive those aspects though if they bring back Yamada for no reason. <3 |
 |
| It was okay, IMO, not as great as the first season. As usual, animation wasn't great, and honestly, not much happened. Was kind of bored with the episode, really, but I pulled through. I was glad to see Hosaka though, since he amuses me. Aside from that, I guess I'll just follow the series anyway, and hope it picks up. |
    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| To be honest, it's just not the art that bothered me, it's pretty much everything else. I loved the first 2 seasons of Minami-ke but after watching the first episode of the 3rd season, I'm definitely not expecting a lot now. Hosaka is the show really. Maybe next week's episode will prove me wrong. |
People are strange, when you're a stranger |
| Over all it was a very watchable episode. Nothing was side splitting funny but it really did have some funny moments. I will be even happier if they fix the art work. Loved the ending! |

| I don't want to complain, because no matter what, I'm glad they decided to make a third season. But I was still a little disappointed with the art and found the first episode a little boring. Course all first episodes are a little boring, so I'm just hoping this will get better. |
| Just watched this. For some reason, I hate Season 2. They really did try to make this season feel like the first. You can see it everywhere from the Hosaka "Aha Aha Aha" to the Opening theme. Season 2 is a big disappointment for me. Overall, it is okay, hope they improve the art though... still can't be on the level of season 1 yet though =) I am hoping BOSSU t shirt will be back Lawl |

HoaRy said: sHsIkuA said: I am hoping BOSSU t shirt will be back Lawl I thought Minami-ke aimed at not wearing the same clothing twice (at least they did that in season 1), so most likely it won't :( Well since Season 1 and Season 3 have different producers/directors and because they want to get back the season 1 feel (as what I've seen) I think there's a slight chance it will happen Anyway, I'm still happy that Minami-ke is back. Moar Kana, Moar Lolness |

| Hmm, dunno. Chiaki sounds kind of weird and the animation hasn't really improved. The bit with the pen was funny though. |

| It was awesome, I didn't the art was bad at all, it was quite good. Can't wait for the rest of the eps to come out ^_^ |

DeathfireD said: Yeah, I thought I had forgotten something, from the second season maybe, where Chiaki started to like Fujioka. It's more likely she was just messing with Uchida. Either way, it was funny.Chaki apparently likes Fujioka...or maybe that was just a joke either way it was funny when she pulled him over and sat on his lap and treated him like a chair. Good first episode, it's nice to see the sisters again. I didn't even notice the animation fails, despite having seen them before. You guys need to lighten up. |
| The first part was absolutely boring. Can animation be actually worse? It was even worse than Akikan. I thought of dropping it in the middle of the episode. After the ED song, it got better, I actually laughed. The best part was, of course, the Hosaka part. 2.5/5 ---> 3/5 for the first episode, hope it gets better. |
| Surprisingly I found this okay. Yes the animation is a bit iffy but at least they ditch 2nd seasons style. |
 |
| I thought this episode was kind of boring. The only thing that stood out was the pen thing. |
     |
| Well, if you've watched the first two seasons, this one will be no surprise. It's just what I expected, a lower-quality version of season two. Poor pacing and bad artwork will probably doom it just the same. Though I guess it did give a little something for the Hosaka fans out there. I'll probably still watch all of it though. |

| Not as bad as I thought it would be considering the initial reception people seemed to have over the show. Not great though. I'll watch it anyways just for Chiaki and Hosaka though :/ |
 |
| Is it just me, or did the animation get even worse than it was in season 2? Anyway it's not a bad first episode, but not particularly good either. I'm hoping things would improve in the future (especially the animation). |
 |
| Well, I didn't expected much since Okaeri is produced by those guys who did Okawari too. But it turned out more better than second, really. I think they were trying for make this season more like first season : ). Character designs are much better (Fujioka in this season is more handsome *giggle* XD), I liked the songs, but there's one thing which is worse than two first seasons. What the heck happened to Chiaki's voice? It seems kind of weird o_O. Hope it's only in this episode... I still hope that Kana will finally realize who's gonna be her future husband (lol) and they'll become a canon couple XD. Also I hope for return of other-Minami-family :3. After watching the OP animation, I think they appear! Nice episode. Liked it a lot. |
     |
| A nice episode to open the series with. It sure was enjoyable and I hope they can keep this level throughout the series. |
| Animation didn't bother me, I enjoyed it. Seems better than season 2 so far |
 |
| Well...I was really glad that the new season is already airing but...seriously, the animation kinda fails. * I remembered being speechless after I saw the post on sankakucomplex* |
| I liked it! Just some scenes were kind weird, like the Haruka's eye in one scene... And yay! Hosaka appeared! BTW, does anyone know the name of Hosaka's theme song? 9/10 episode! |

I just finished 2nd season (that i found as good as first) but if this is terrible i prefer keeping Minami's good image instead |
 |
| Weak, a total disappointment...and I liked Okawari. |
| Humor is hit or miss, as usual. (Cup yakisoba phenomenon, wtf? Was that supposed to be funny?) And honestly I can't tell the difference between this season's animation and Okawari's. Is it that bad? |

| lol |
naikou said: Cup yakisoba phenomenon, wtf? Was that supposed to be funny? One of my favorite parts actually. I was expecting a certain teacher crashing in from nowhere, screaming "Cup Yakisoba Phenomenon left me in despair!". Really, for a moment I thought I was watching the wrong show. XD |
|
| It did feel like they were trying to go for Zetsubou-style humor in that scene, but instead of continuing the crazy metaphor, it was like, "You know how some things are supposed to be the same, but are actually completely different? Like instant Yakisoba and.... old tea... and... Uh, I guess that's it." -_- I did like the part where the pen pointed out Kana's various misdeeds. I'm sure that - whatever direction it pointed - it would have revealed one of her crimes. |
| The first season will always be the best, but I am very much enjoying this. : D Some of the characters I'd forgotten, like the cousin. He's amusing. XD The animation wasn't that bad...but the second and third aren't as good as the first in that category. Humor wise, there were it's moments. I liked the pen thing. xD |
| I didn't watched the first two seasons due to a lack of time and also that I didn't really like the animation all that much, but I guess I have mistaken. This is quite a good anime or the least to say, it is somewhat funny.. |
 |
| First I liked 1st season's style, then I liked 2nd season's style.. Now I'm wondering which is this animationstyle. It seems so weird ! I thought that the animationteam was the same as on first season :/ // well, it seems just so different that I couldn't believe that fact first : D |

| OP sucks, ED sucks... a bit. I was really impatient with this episode. Nothing was funny apart from Kana saying 'Matchmaking'. I also watched this episode with bad/slow dubs so that was annoying. Hosaka... yay he unbuttoned his shirt, but what happened to his extra hottness?? *sigh* This better be worth my time... |
   |
| Ah excellent, the third season seems to be keeping a good steady pace with the content. I think this one will be a winner too. Is it just me, or is Chiaki getting as random as Kana? |
| even worse than 2nd season.. Sent with Mal Updater |
| 2nd season animation and OP theme were better, made Kana cuter =(. ED theme is better, here. Damn, Hosaka's back, lol Loved the Fujioka-Takeru and pen-drop moments. |
