You want light and easy entertainment? Here you get it. Hyakko is the perfect anime if you just want something funny without too much of a deeper meaning. It’s about a bunch of girls at school, their everyday lives, and how they get to know their new classmates at school. There isn’t much of a story—most of the episodes focus on one character, and that’s all. True, occasionally there’s a bitter aftertaste to some scenes, but i think that this level of drama can be passed without disrupting the entertainment much.
Not to mention that as much as i love the character design of Naruto, Kageyama Torako is pretty much the same, just in a girl version. Not necessarily only the hair and eye colours.
I first started watching Hyakko back when it aired, together with Toradora, but it ended up on a “hiatus” the same way too. Then this summer watching Toradora reminded me of the adventures of the Kamizono Academy girls. It was really worth watchin, i totally enjoyed it.
