I have a few miscellaneous things to say:

I love KyoAni's animation for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorites is their facial expressions. They're so much more...expressive then other shows. Just the little subtle things, the bend of a brow, a worried look, it's great.

What are these 'Lite' things everybody's talking about? Am I missing some content here?

I've noticed that Yuuta is the only male in this Eastern Magic Nap Summer whatever club.

Damn, I have something else I wanted to ask, but I forgot...

Final thoughts: Kyoani (finally) strikes gold again.


I know, right? There was a whole 17 days in between the end of Hyouka and the start of this. Outrageous we had to wait so long. Wink

I just finished the latest Lite and goddamn was it cute.

Yuuta's sister is the best. I mean, the BEST. This little vignette with her and Rikka was really fun to watch. My only complaint is that it didn't show the actual making of the meat stew.

I also have a question about Rikka's eyepatch. I don't think she actually needs it, as told by one of the Lites, but in the first episode she was administered eyedrops, so I don't get it. I hope it'll be explained. Yes, I know I didn't -really- ask a question.

ONA Lite, Episode 4

So it seems that Rikka does not have the spoiler[cooking knowledge of her sister, it was adorable seeing her with Yuuta's sister though, that little girl is indeed a monster moeness.]

@ ZorgonXtreme
Of course she does not need it, she only wears it to look cool, and she made up the whole wicked eye thing with contact to do some sort of Geass like act. She was only given the eye drops because she was saying t was hurting, which of course was an act.

Might not necessarily be an act. She does have a contact lense in there. Could be irritating her eye.

Well, if my "position of relevant information in anime" meter is working properly, the spoiler[reason isn't really unknown, she's the online nut who wrote that book Hairlecopter was reading.]
That seems likely as when rewatching I noticed the spoiler[manuscript was written by someone called Forest Summer, and the club name seemed to include "of Summer" when she joined ther group.]

When something like that pops up always check the kanji. Wink
spoiler[Shinka - Nibutani's given name - is written as 森夏, which equates to: forest + summer. Those are elementary characters so the pseudonym would be very obvious to a Japanese audience.]

Wait how does Yuuta know the teacher? spoiler[I don't recall seeing the teacher in previous episodes and yet we have Yuuta calling her Nana chan, like she is some relative of Yuuta. I couldn't find her on animelist.]



maybe it is just because she is adorable.

Well the truth about Shinka comes out. spoiler[While she's not the craziest of the bunch (at least not anymore) like I thought, she is kind of a bitch. That is a bit disappointing.]

Having the spoiler[chuunibyou think the other dude's chuunibyou was lame was a nice touch, and much more plausible than the relationship between the other two].

Episode 4
Oh wow, I might have to re-watch this episode. It was that damn hilarious. spoiler[The fight, the house invitation, the poses, the "magic ritual", the moe, and all that other good stuff.]

Well, the OP song doesn't induce as much as eye seizures than before. That's good and so was this episode imo.

Episode 4

Oh Nibutani, the thing I like more than her just being cute is that spoiler[she is a total two face, reminds me quite a bit of Ami, so much better when they just cut the crap]. Turns out spoiler[she is very much like Yuuta, she hates hearing and thinking about what she was like before, doing similar things to him, although she arguably takes some prize for actually regressing and trying to curse the other girl.]

I like the character more now.

I actually liked Shinka's real attitude. Its good to have different personalities in a group. And I doubt people here are too high on the goody two shoes beautiful girl cliche in anime high schools. I loved how she spoiler[ call him a loser even though she is guilty of doing the same embarrassing things. ]
