Hanamaru Kindergarten 01- Nostalgic days

Typical anime cliches has never been so refreshing. Instead of going to school we have a ‘going-to-work’ version this time round.

Sorry for the sugoi late post! Quite busy this week round!

So, after pondering what I want to blog for this season (Since Katanagatari only releases 1 episode every month), I decide to go on with this one instead (Until I get pissed off, if that’s the case). Not in the best of mood, but it somehow rather reminds me on my kindergarten days…

Wait, I hardly remember anything from kindergarten. ROFL! From what I’ve seen, this resembles my days in kindergarten (Except that I don’t hit guys randomly and think that climbing trees is an extremely noble past time.).

They better not transform this into another Kodomo no Jikan. They better not.

NOOOOO!!!!! I’m not some perv guy with a loli complex! I’m just a normal guy working in a kindergarten!

So our protagonist starts work in the kindergaten with the same name as the anime itself. Big deal. He rushes to work, but then thinking that he’ll be late anyway, he sees a loli, pushes his brakes and then starts hitting on her…wait, am I in the wrong show? She’s only 4, and he’s only in his 20s (I think).

Or maybe our little loli right her watches too much anime. Or rather boring soap operas that bored you to tears, but you think that these crap really are tear-jerking after all.

So he left Anzu behind, and how does he know her name in the first place when it’s the first time you met her? It’s anime after all, we can defy the laws of gravity and whatnot. That’s why. If a stranger I don’t even know of starts hitting on me, the first thing my mother would do is to kick that man’s ass instead of striding it off as if nothing ever happens. Hey, what’s with guys hitting you when you are 4?

Erm, no. Why are you putting me in a spot? You started it all right.

If I was her, I would be screaming for my mother horrendously, and wouldn’t be Anzu be scared of falling in high places? Well, it’s anime after all.

I kinda remember the time when I was in elementary school, and my mother sent me to a childcare center since she was wayyyy too busy to looking after me then. It wasn’t such a bad experience, I get to meet some new friends, but then I hardly ever seen them again when I completed 6th grade. Coming back to the story, well, yeah, kindergarten is fun, sucks, embarrassing and all the shit you can come up with, but Anzu, when the teacher is talking, you should be listening to them, not start wondering around and gossip around people that you’ve hit your very own kindergarten teacher…

SHHH!!!

And coming back to my experience in a childcare center, yeah, so there’s at least 2 male caretakers in the center. So it’s not very uncommon for male caretakers to take up the job but over the years, the number has declined. Don’t ask me why, but most people in society think being a caretaker is only for ladies, drag queens and the gays. Well, society: A big, fat WRONG!

Parents: He’s gay, he’s definitely gay.

Gay…not! I love women very much, especially one with a G cup bosom! Thank you very much!

So after the introduction and all, things are starting to calm down…not with those three ‘rugrats’ around when a big wind blows and skirts will lift up like flying a kite. Now, Koume’s ribbon given by her elder brother was now stuck on a tree. How convenient. ANZU RANGER TO THE RESCUE!!!

Noo, it’s Ranger Yamamoto-sensei to the rescue!

At last, Ranger Anzu was saved by Ranger Tsuchida, and really; if I was Anzu’s mother I would be screaming at her to get down this instant and instead call someone else to bring a ladder and bring down the ribbon. So, next time, guys who have premarital sex in high school, remember, being a parent is hard work.

So, that make you gay, Tsuchida-san?

You can use the female restroom, if you like. We won’t tell anyone about this, scouts’ honor!

And so once again, the first day is saved. So everyone goes home, talk about their first day and…what?

Meow! I’m a catgirl. Daddy bought this for me!

Tsuchida and Anzu’s mother, Sakura are schoolmates in high school, and it was quite surprising that Sakura has premarital sex with her high school teacher. But since it’s Japan, they make it sound as if nothing serious has ever happen to them. No wonder the world’s turning upside down, but I’m not against that kind of relationship. I mean, shouldn’t you wait till you graduate from high school or something? Yes, I know, Japan needs more babies, but ethics comes first if you ask me.

…and be late for work tomorrow, again! Ooh, is that a PS2/3? Want play!

The next day, our dear Tsuchida rushes to work, AGAIN, and meets Sakura and Anzu. So, what did Anzu say…

I knew it! You’re not gay…you’re a pedo! With a loli complex!

Yeah, this first episode was quite interesting, though nothing special really turned up except for a twist or two. Fortunately, not much obvious fanservice (Thank god, Gainax), but you may never know. My favourite character: Hii-chan. And with the next preview…

She wears a safari suit. I wonder if she has a maido uniform, or a cheongsam, maybe a Lolita dress… (Thinking about dirty thought, but meh!)

This season doesn’t disappoint. Except for some shows that are so unworthy to be mentioned. I’ll see 4 more episodes before I decide if I would want to continue but for now, I’ll be sitting on the sidelines.
