I hope this season is not as low-budget and shitty as the other three.

I like the characters and humour, but it's such a drag watching this slideshow.

Something tells me it will be just as shitty as before.

The current studio produced an OVA a couple months ago, that should give you a good idea about if you'll find this season acceptable or not.

>>13100
Don't look at me like that. I didn't bother with the OVA, did you see a jump in production value?

<- Is there a term for these zoomed in shots with backgrounds replaced with art like this? I normally wouldn't say anything about it, but it seemed like they were really going overboard with it here. around the point when it started to stick out it seemed almost like they made a subtle meta joke about it with two character's backgrounds clashed with each other, but they just kept right on doing it. it really became kinda distracting. I tried re-watching the ep just to count how many times they do it, and I got 27 in the first ten minutes, 44 in all (would be a lot more if you counted the good/evil debate scene, or when they changed the angle of the zoomin but keep the same background )
If nothing else it could make for a decent drinking game every time they do that background thing.

Regardless, it was a pretty decent first ep.
OP reminded me a lot of the first season, although the ED was a bit better I think.

Looks good!

Had the same humor I was used to from the past seasons. It reminded me more of Season 1, which is REALLY great. Kana's classmate who was never in the past seasons(at least, I don't remember), was a really nice addition as well. Can't wait to see more of Chiaki's classmates, along with more Hosaka shenanigans.

>>13154
yeah I didn't recognizes her at all, it was like, who the fuck is that?
Whatever, it's the forth season, it could use something new.

ep 2 fucking when

>>13160
Another week, grasshopper

FACT: you don't get any yellow shit on your fingers from eating tangerines. I just ate half a dozen of them and my fingers are as clean now as they were before I started eating them.

This whole show is fucking bullshit.

Since we're on the topic of Minami-ke Tadaima episode two, I thought that I should mention my suspicious that, at least for the first few episodes, this season might be somewhat hampered by the show's combination of a very large cast of established characters and the long layoff since the last season.
The current season's producers obviously feel that they need to appeal a wide audience and to do so they need to spend a lot of time giving every character's backstory, something which will end up seeming somewhat tedious, although still enjoyable, to the true hardcore Minami-ke experts such as myself. The result is that the season will start off slowly and might be come off as a bit of disappointment, however the 2nd half of the season will be magically awesome and even if the first few episodes are not head explodingly wonderful, its still MInami-ke which is the best show ever.

What I was wondering was who that new girl was and why Kana seemed to already know her really well. Would it have killed them to give her an introduction?

>>13376
>Minami-ke is the best show ever
It's probably my least favourite of the popular comedy/sol shows. Do you really mean that when you say it? Do you like it better than Ichigo Mashimaro?

>>13383
>It's probably my least favourite of the popular comedy/sol shows

you are objectively wrong in my opinion

Minami-ke is one of the best sol/comedy shows. Second season was bit weak but first and third were good and this new one looks promising too.

>>13409
Please do not misuse spoilers

>>13409
How can he be objectively wrong about his subjective opinion? Do you actually believe that it's his favorite show and he's lying for no reason, or are you a retard trying to use big words to sound smart? I'm guessing it's the latter because you're a Minami-ke fanboy.

>>13424
>are you a retard trying to use big words to sound smart?
Welcome to tohno-chan.

>>13427
More importantly, we're considering "objectively" to be a big word now? Where have our standards gone? Shameful...

>>13430
Yeah really, Everyone knows it doesn't count as a big word unless it's at least as long as supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Do you keep an emergency maid outfit in your home, anonyrnous?

>>13559
of course, doesn't everybody?

Somehow all this cosplay feels out of place in this anime.

and why did they have 3 of those maid outfits anyway? if they were made for the minami sisters, why would they all be around the same small size?

I think you're over-thinking it, friend.

loool

>>13593
heh

>>13584

This is the type of thing thats going to fly over the heads of the people that didn't watch the previous seasons (and read the TL notes in them). I'm not sure how enjoyable this season is going to be for the noobs that haven't seen the earlier material.

>>13750
I watched all previous seasons and don't remember anything that makes that scene funnier than it is at face value. Those ghost-looking dolls are hung up in Japan to ward off bad weather, that's all I know about what happened there. Want to spell it out for me?

>>13750
Why would people watch this season before previous ones?

Get in there. I've been cheering him on for four seasons now.

>>13857
He's finally done it?!?

>>13864
yes, he finally received a 100 yen coin.

How is it that Akira doesn't already
know Fujioka given that Touma and Fujioka have been hanging out and practicing football together for years.
I can't possibly accept the idea that the Minami brothers allow their imouto to hang out unchaperoned with random teenage boys.

>>13865
I think you sat too close to the TV, bakayarou

>>13877
I think you're over-thinking it, friend.

The opening and ending of the new season really do demonstrate that Feel really is trying quite hard t make Season 1 part 2 rather than Season 4. Not sure if this hampers their creativity or focuses.

Minami-ke has been good so far. I've been getting what I expected. Maybe I have noticed small amount of increased fan service like butt scene in picture. Btw someone should make gif from that scene.

>Remember that comic from about three years ago where the protagonist is playing console games and then his mom's fat ass gets in the way of the TV when she is vacuuming and then the protagonist titfucks his mom?
This is were the author of that comic got the mom's ass from. Screencapped from Minami-ke season 2

Touma is so goddamn cute.

Seems like there's been someone in a swimsuit or cosplay in every ep so far.

This ep really went off in a strange direction.

>>14141
It's like I'm really watching a SHAFT production

>>14142
It sucked, but it wasn't that bad.

>>14142
if it was SHAFT® it would look more like this

Serial Experiments Mako-chan

I'd thought Yoshino's costume was a snow-man, but I just looked closer and realized she is a narwhal and I actually agree that narwhals should play a greater part in Christmas celebrations.
They're attractive and unique arctic animals, they certainly fit the bill as much as any of the other arctic creatures.

I keep forgetting Haruka isn't their mother.

These funny little misunderstandings would be better if they actually made sense. if you just told a girl to button up her top and she asks if you saw... why would you assume she meant the snow then go off describing snow in such detail without ever even saying the word snow? then someone else shows up with their boobs hanging out the same way but this time does talk about snow and you assume she's talking about her boobs?
I swear some of these guys are retarded...
