Pryce's Anime Review: Minami-ke
« on: November 23, 2009, 08:06:29 PM »
Title: Minmai-ke (The Minami Family)


Genre(s): Comedy, Slice of Life

Number of Episodes: 13
Original Run: Oct 7, 2007 to Dec 30, 2007

Sequel: Minami-ke Okawari (The Minami Family: A Second Helping)

Sequel: Minami-ke Okaeri (The Minami Family - Welcome Home)
Number of Episodes: 13
Original Run: Jan 4, 2009 to Mar 30, 2009


Characters:

Chiaki Minami: Chiaki is the youngest sister in elementary school. She is in class 5-2 (a reference to Kyo no Gononi). Her apparent high intelligence often makes her overanalyse simple stuff. She also tends to ignore idiotic behaviour displayed by Kana and Makoto. Even being the youngest, she is the meanest out of the three; most of the time, she is quiet during group activities, and almost always uses the word "bakayarō", which is a more forceful form for "idiot" in Japanese ("baka" being the less forceful term). "Chiaki" contains the kanji for "Autumn".


Kana Minami: Kana is the middle sister in her second year of junior-high school. Kana is an impulsive and lively girl who never thinks before acting. She often acts or talks impolitely, much to the annoyance of Chiaki. She has been mislead by Chiaki into thinking that Fujioka is challenging her. She generally does not get good grades in school, though she thinks that if she puts on Keiko's glasses she will act and speak intelligently. She frequently invents random new holidays and also recruits Chiaki's classmates into joining her silly escapades. "Kana" contains the knaji for "summer".


Haruka Minami: Haruka is the oldest sister and in her second year of high school. She has been taking care of her younger sisters for many years, and this fact has led to some misunderstandings with her classmates. Haruka is the most reliable of the three sisters, but becomes infinitely lazy when she is by herself. She was called Banchō (gang leader) during her junior-high days, though it is revealed soon after that it was simply a title. She is the only person whom Chiaki dares not oppose or be rude to; Chiaki views her as a role model and greatly respects her. This can be seen in her tendency to address Haruka as "nee-sama" instead of the more usual and casual "nee-san"; and the only person Chiaki uses polite Japanese with (even though it is not customary for siblings to use polite Japanese towards each other). "Haruka" contains the kanji for "spring".

My Review: An excellent comedy that sticks with what it's good at, showing that normal situations can be exciting and funny. A side note is that after the first season the studio animating this series switches causing a drastic, though not negative, change in the animation style.

My Rating: 5/5
Fujioka's Classes: Gang Leader, Bear, Santa Claus
Awesome Points: 575
