REIMU KOUME AT 9 O’CLOCK: Digiboy, if there’s someone I can clearly blame on this, that would really have to be you.

Okay, fine. I’m convinced that there’s actually something that’s good for Winter season. I admit defeat, Winter.  You too, GAINAX. You both happy now?

Hanamaru Yochien. A seemingly harmless, slice-of-life-ish show featuring kindergarten life: Kids, caretakers, parents and all. But before you (or in a much more dramatic case, I) can think it’s going to be the same mundane type of show that has a 99.9% probability to mutate into a case of KODOMO NO JIKAN, the show suddenly shows an inner gem in a setting where innocence is so abundant and sustaining, it defeats any sense of precociousness and false instances of maturity.
