Hanasaku Iroha 26: To Bloom One Day

All roads lead to confession. The series has derailed itself long ago, so even a good ending won’t changed that fact. I like that everybody seems to finally moved on. I wonder if this series can go for another season. Let’s just hope that it focuses more on the core plot.

Review: Hanasaku Iroha

Hanasaku Irona, a great coming-of-age drama that never came to be. It has a ton of potential and the skills to make a good drama, but it tries to tell a lot of things, yet, fails to connect them together. It is as if, this is the Naruto/One Piece of drama.

Hansaku Iroha 25: My Beloved Kissuiso

What can you say if you put the three generations of workaholics together? Awesome. The second to the last episode of Hanasaku Iroha is now throwing it all in with all the cast doing what they had done all along, and not waste our time with stories. We see a lot of development on the [...]

Hansaku Iroha 24: Sui Shijima, The Last Boss

Delaying tactics at its finest. I really, really want to beat the crap out of Ohana. But since the drama in this final arc is interesting, I let it pass. Besides, the direction it’s taking with Ohana bringing Ko to the Bonbori festival is a dead give way for a confession. I DO hope that [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 23: Compensation for a Dream

Hanasaku Iroha tends to get in my nerves of having to side track for the greater duration of its run. It was suffering and unrewarding. There are good ones, I admit. But why settle for things you don’t want and just get the ones you intended. We get of in this situation every time, that [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 22: The determined One-Sided Crush

It finally delivered more that I hoped for. This episode opens that final curtain to the series, and we get to finally see Ohana moving on towards confessing to Ko. We get Minko to get her feeling across to Thoru pushing her love story around. With the final blast of Grandma ending the Kissuiso on [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 21: The Return of “Die”

Okay the bitch and Enichi are getting married. Inn makes a fuss and Ohana fess it up. Hanasaku Iroha FLESHES its side characters again on getting Takako in the lime light of our attention. She maybe a bitch to us, but she doesn’t do it to displease grandma, and certainly grandma doesn’t seem to convince [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 20: Love, K?rin Festival

Are we done with the side character development? I think with 4-6 episodes left, we should be focusing on the matters where it is most important. I share the same guilt feeling ghost lightning has on the torment Minko is experiencing, which is a diving retribution to her bitchy nature. Outside of the pitfalls which [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 19: Sloppy Omelet Rice

While we do get the mandatory School festival episode, we did see development on the almost all the cast. It continues to overlap Nako’s development as well as put Minchi in the spotlight, while Ohana is still being a bitch and not confronting Ko all this time, with Yuina being a pompous princess whose worth [...]

Hanasaku Iroha 18: Mermaid Princess and Shell Bra

If it wasn’t another centerpiece character episode, this time we are going to delve into the world of Nako, the Shy waitress. After the nice Enishi arc, we get to see Nako taking the center stage for us to dissect and looked upon. Nicely enough, I like how she takes care of her family, and [...]
