I have no idea why I decided to enter this show with expectations. The first episode was really interesting and I thought it was going to go somewhere. Even if the Tou became an expert monjayaki cook on the spot despite having never having had any training and only offered to take up Kokonotsu's post on a whim. As for the episode duration, it... also made the series better. The main point of Dagashi Kashi is promoting sweets while telling you it's history as you watch characters interact with each other, and some episodes in the first season were boring because this anime does not need to be 20 minutes long to do it's job.

There just small problems but the one true problem lies in the dub. The sub doesn't really have that much problems with the script but the dub has some really cringe worthy moments and I mean really cringe worthy moments.

The premise is simple: An energetic girl comes to a town out in the countryside and tries to encourage our protagonist, Coconuts, to take over his father's dagashi shop. The story is full of nice people, the characters are pretty much all likeable and behave naturally throughout the show. I find Coconut's father, You(his mom's name must be "Me") to be an especially fun character, he business: a candy store. Hotaru wants Kokonotsu's father to work for her family's candy company, and he agrees as long as she is able to convince Kokonotsu to take over the store. This makes Hotaru begin to harass Kokonotsu about candy all the time and allows the anime to become a Japanese candy commercial. Honestly, I had forgotten about the premise of the series because they hardly ever mention it again in favor of talking about candy all the time (can you tell how annoyed I am that I was roped into watching an anime that is literally just about candy?).

There are many new types of dagashi candy that have been introduced in Japan, along with some classic dagashi candy that people continue to love. Some newer dagashi include sakuma drops, which are fruit-flavored hard candies that come in a small tin, and ramune candy, which are candy versions of the popular Japanese drink that come in a little soda bottle container. A traditional type of dagashi that is still popular is konpeito, which are colorful, round star-like candies made almost entirely from sugar. Konpeito was introduced to Japan by Portugal, but has become so popular in Japan that they are considered a traditional Japanese confection. In fact, you may have seen konpeito before in the Studio Ghibli movie Spirited Away—they are the cute little candies that the soot sprites go wild for! The Japanese also have a penchant for chocolate , and one of the most popular chocolate dagashi is Choco Bat , which is a milk chocolate shaped like a bat. a b だがしかし １ (in Japanese). Shogakukan.

Birds of a Feather: Kokonotsu doesn't like to to admit it, but he's almost as much of a dagashi nerd as Hotaru. Even when it comes to the relationships between the characters, the anime’s emphasis goes more on comedy and not on any dramatic build up. So don’t go around expecting any complex love triangles or cheesy slice-of-life moments. In essence, ‘Dagashi Kashi’ is all into one genre and that is, a comedy, where pretty much all the jokes heavily rely on its main theme. No wonder why so many anime viewers are starting to call it a 4 hour long TV commercial.

Dagashi Kashi is that kind of anime that you either hate or love as soon as you are done watching the very first episode. Yet I'm still surprised how low is the show rated here on MAL. Bland-Name Product: The magazine Kokonotsu sends his manga to is Shounen Monday, a riff on Shonen Sunday. An all-around Japanese experience; from learning about the treats to enjoying them in the most authentic way possible at home. Strange Minds Think Alike - Hotaru, Tou and Yo all think a typhoon is the perfect time to go outside and run around. Mistaken for Gay: In the later chapters of the manga, Hajime is convinced that Saya has a crush on Hotaru, even leaving them alone for a while to give Saya some room to "confess". Saya herself is completely unaware of this.
