One of the sweetest anime about friendship. I myself love coffee, so I very much enjoyed the cafe scenery. Also, the town in which the anime is located is so picturesque that made me feel I want to visit it. The story is quiet and peaceful, and the best way to start your day. The characters are sweet and unique without pushing it to the edges like the typical harem anime, in which each character tends to be so annoying, because they want to stand out. The soundtracks also calm and sweet make you feel like you're inside the cafe, or in the park - they're cheerful and give you the sense of happiness. I recommend it to every otaku friend here, who wants to relax and enjoy a beautiful casula story with cute but not provocative girls.

I'm on episode 7 out of 10 so yes it is improper for me to give a review of this anime... but I just don't know if I can do it anymore. Each episode is filler, the story is non existant, the characters are bland and forgettable except for the rabbit that sits on top of one characters head. Honestly the only reason I'm hanging around is because I'm curious on how her dad got turned into said rabbit on her head, but I don't think the story is going to tell me.  I want to like this anime, the animation is adorable, the sound is decent, but it's just so slow and boring. It's set in a cafe where there is never a customer. Everything is just... bleh. It's not bad if you just want to sit down watch something adorable for half an hour then go watch something else and come back a month later and watch another episode....... Honestly, I can see some people really loving this adorable anime, but it's just not for people who are looking for a story and rememerable characters or are looking for a cafe anime. Because unfortunately it lacks all of that.  I think perhaps you should take the time to find another more fulfilling anime to make you smile.

White Fox bought us season one of Koi’s nine volume manga in anime form back in 2014. The whole thing is a relaxing life cleanser (“lyashikei”) from the universe-of-cute in which nothing ever bad happens. As such it is undemanding to the point of driving the audience into a coma. Nothing really happens and nothing is ever going to happen yet this got spun out for three seasons, one film and a game. So, it has to have something going for it. The story is set in a small German medieval town that has somehow been magically recreated in contemporary Japan. We can only guess that such places exist or is this just fantasy? It all forms a beautiful backdrop to a world in which rabbits seem to be a dominant theme. They are everywhere in this story. The story (for what it is worth) revolves around the lives of seven teenage girls and a couple of adults. Three of the girls are in middle school and the rest in high school. They all, at one time or another, work in one of three of the town’s cafes all of which have some kind of rabbit theme or motif. The central character is new girl Cocoa Hoto although she is by no means the most interesting character. The honour of most colourful individual actually goes to the military-obsessed tomboy Rize Tedeza who, despite her dominant persona, moonlights occasionally as her feminine alter-ego “Rose”. None of which makes much sense as the rest of the time she is either dressed in high school uniform of her waitress uniform both of which involve skirts. Between this and her wonderful long hair she sems to be a feminine as they come. Another quirky and unexplained part of the plot is the rabbit that lives at one of the cafes called “The Rabbit House”. The creature appears to be the reincarnated grandfather of one of the girls (Chino Kafu) but when he speaks the girls always assume it is Chino throwing her voice. Madness. So, you get the picture. It is all a big marshmallow The girls do fun things like dress as maids, go to Christmas Markets, do jigsaw puzzles, have sleep-overs, learn ballet, etc. Heck. This is not exciting yet neither is it in any way offensive. It is all very pleasant, like snuggling up in a duvet. It lacks flavour but makes up for it in colour. Despite the writer’s best efforts, the girl’s personalities all kinda merge into one where it is hard to tell them apart (with the possible exception of Rize). The characters lack diversity but it seldom matters. They are visually different. You watch it for the cute and stay for the cute. It is CUTE with a capital “C”. This is planet-Kawaii so strap in and let the whole darn thing wash over you like a pleasantly incensed waft of warm air on a winter’s evening. Don’t expect too much in the way of fan service nor expect many of the usual tropes in season one. No beach scenes or high school culture festivals yet the girls are fond of baths. It is good clean fun (pun intended) with only the very occasional mention of bunny girls despite the obvious inferences throughout the story. Family entertainment through and through. Difficult not to like but hard to really love. Anime chewing gum.
