The OP is pure cuteness~! It’s not really too impressive, but I thought it’s just alright. Lots of characters in this show are definitely shown on the OP, so I wonder how they will all play on the story. Overall it’s cute but will probably turn skip-worthy soon.

This episode is separated to two scenarios, the first part isn’t anything really special, because I find the second part better. Though I must say that this way of story-telling is interesting and I wonder how it’ll work or if some stories would be linear or not.

We have Tsuchi-sensei’s teacher life on the first part, and it shows how he definitely struggles handling little kids in school. Well, they are little children so we know how it works. Anzu asks him questions, then another kid approaches him and tells him a story, then another student wants to go to pee, lol it never ends xD.

Then we also had the main trio exploring the kindergarten, which always ends up in wacky situations. They also encounter the huge slide, which they got scared first on trying it, but with the help of Tsuchi-sensei, they finally had fun using it.

The second part is centered on our resident walking encyclopedia Hii-chan. She’s indeed a walking dictionary for having so much knowledge, and in fact she already helps her scientist father on his work already. Lulz.

She keeps owning the second year guy, whom he thinks he’s the smartest, but no more because of Hii-chan. Lulz, I love how he also got pwned on every different stuff he said by Hiiragi. Of course, guy gets pissed because he always wants to be better (ugh, boys) so he goes on observing Hii-chan.

Stalker much? XD Though I lol’d when his friends told him that he looks like he like her. Though I have no idea why children goes out late at night alone just because he hates someone. What the hell was that? Where was his parents… or maybe I just missed something. But lol anyway, he gets found by Hiiragi herself while he’s on the ground scared and stuff. It only ends in pure fluff and cuteness…

D’awww~~~ So cute!!! Hiiragi in real eyes = awesomeness ^^.

Lol, the little boy is already on the second year, but it’s cute how he learns to look down on himself now and treats Hiiragi as his master. lol 😛 Hiiragi’s reaction is so cute~ blushing ftw >3

xDD HIIRAGI IS SO CUTE~~

ED2: “Kigurumi Wakusei (キグルミ惑星)” by Ayahi Takagaki

LOL THIS ENDING THEME IS EPIC. It seems like they’re pulling off like what Sora no Otoshimono did: different ending themes per episode. But damn, I didn’t expect the ED to have impressive quality. And going over with the sequence Galaxy Hanamaru Kindergarten ftw xD, which is an obvious touch from GAINAX. This ED just goes beyond different levels of awesomeness~

Bottomline:

Overall, this show continues to be a fun and light watch~ It stays very adorable and pure cuteness,this is definitely not the best new show this Winter season, but I think I can put it up behind Durarara!! and BakaTest. (wow that proves this season is indeed dull)

Hii-chan is made of so much win!!! I like her more than Anzu, well yeah she’s my most favorite out of the three girls. I can’t find any reason why not to love her. She’s so hilarious and her cosplays are full of win xD.

I guess they are putting in two short episodes each week? Or probably put in different stories per episode? I find it alright. Well it’s not like this would be a show I would expect a lot from anyway, unless that Panda thing the children like turns out to be some giant mecha that will save the galaxy O__o.. lol. Looking forward to more of warm and light, cuteness-filled episodes from this show :D.

OIC Hiiragi cosplaying Yoko~!!
