@Berserkerhealer Great :)

And to make this post a post, here's the bit I cut out of what I wrote yesterday morning:

Ha, that explosion won't help negate the notion of resemblance to Girls' Last Tour. Almost felt like they were putting on an act to get a ride to the ropeway, but I guess they're too honest to do that. (Unless they're dealing with someone who deserves to be taken advantage of, which is not the case here)

This was quite the charming show. I have to say the end result is much better than I expected and it should be experienced by SoL fans.

A great SoL anime, I liked Yuru Camp better but I'm also sad this anime passed under the table, it was a nice and relaxing show overall and it has some usual things and some different ones or done differently because they're (a kind of) pixies. Will be waiting for the OVA to enjoy some more of Hakumei and Mikochi, hope they show how they met :3. 08/10 from me.

Kinda like Amanchuu for me, gorgeous art, pleasant music, relaxing pace, but characters & events that feel boring. A few characters like Iwashi, barber, Konju & Koharu maybe are quite interesting, and there are quite a lot of world building & event details (so not really slow pace at all) but most of these didn't click with me & can't really explain why... Later half had more funny moments I really quite liked since those characters mentioned appeared more.
With lots of animals it seems easy to love them but somehow none are as cute as irl even (partly since most act as husky stone workers or silent transporters).
I'm not sure if Lerche could've done any better, since technically it really is good quality, but almost feels like these travels/stories need a complete rewrite.

So, it says 'SEE YOU AGAIN', does it mean there'll be a 2nd season? Holy shit. Yes, pleaaaase. I love this show so much. And when it ended, I had a biggest smile on my face like what Yuru Camp and Mitsuboshi Colors did to me. Huhu.

This fucking show is as heartwarming as those two anime. Fucking loved it.

9/10. <3

P.S. Nice to know about Hakumei's life before she met Mikochi. Such a great way to end this anime. Huhu.

Maybe, though seinen iyashikei shows are mainly targeted at working adults who don't have kids. My guess would be that the main problem was simply people being bored by this and charmed by Yuru Camp.

The alcohol should be less of a problem for British families - I once read one of the original Mary Poppins books that had the boy being allowed to try some Port, and my cousins were allowed to sample alcohol from around age 10.

Great finale I must say! Honestly I was waiting for an episode focused on Hakumei's past and how she met Mikochi... well at least I got half I wanted xD I will still waiting for and "How I met Mikochi" episode tho.

Overall, it was a great show and every single episode was interesting in their own way. I never felt boring watching them. It's also nice that there will be another special ep. I will be waiting for it :D 8/10

While the show gets a little too quiet and slow simetimes, this was a pretty good experience that helped me forget about all the stress I'm having at the Uni. Really liked the setting and character interactions.

Homemade explosives? Well, I'm impressed.

The old road looks nice.

For fun and profit! Excellent reason for anything. :D

They sure found a helpful friend there, taking them even farther than agreed when needed. ^_^

Nice to earn more about Hakumei's past as well.

Almost missed the caravan because they were looking in the wrong direction... :D

Well, everything worked out well in the end, even with a bit of an accident there.

The monkey throwing the firecracker was funny in the manga -- and hilarious in the anime!

Pretty smart way to use the festival to tie in all the characters met in the series, and the ED scene of sitting in the tree to the kite (sp?) seen all the way in ep 1 (or was it 2??). I *think* the continuity in the anime is stronger than in the manga...?

That was a nice way to end the series. Loved Hakumei with long hair.

Long haired Hakumei is soo precious. Protect at all cost

This is my second favorite episode, after the train and fishing episode last time. It's very sad that Hakumei was once a homeless wanderer and found by the Wolf Caravan. They have a touching goodbye and Hakumei wandering across the land to say them hello again is very touching

Well, lets wait for another new chapter then. I would buy the manga if I had the money and time but oh well

Cheers and wait for the next season

Wow, where to begin with this, i haven't felt this bummed about a show ending in a long time and i'm so disappointed there's not even a peep of a s2, it really deserves it. I don't think there is any category this show didn't excel in, everything was done to almost perfection, story, setting, characters, especially characters, Iyashikei is rarely done as well to this extent. 9.

The moment between Ryokubirou and Hakumei was so touching. It was nice to finally see the caravan and Hakumei's backstory when she was traveling with them.

Overall, a nice, cute, and mostly a relaxing show.

Koharu/Mimi episode was probably the best one.

I love knowing more about Hakumei's past.
The starry night in the gondola is beautiful.
I teared up a lot during this, especially when Hakumei told Mikochi that she cut her hair and gave it to Ryokubirou as a parting gift.

What a wonderful show. I wish there was more. :(

I love comforting fantasy iyashikei like this, bonus cute animals and delicious looking comfort food. 

If they do a S2 I will watch. Heck if they have 10 seasons I will watch too. 

Now, I am going to read the manga, this will be my first manga ever.

I found it too sad her backstory, but Hakumei's origin episode, at least back to the time she was a nomad. The gypsies rejected her and left her at the gate of Makinata.
I love Takuto Kashiki's world and characters... what a wonderful creation. The ending made me cry, because of how cute and beautiful it all is and this is the end... I want, but do not want a second season- because it could never be as magical as this, they'll just change something and load it up with cgi. Not everything can be repeated, it only happens once. Please watch this anime, it's one of the special ones.
