as slice-of-life-ish(aka boring) as it can get?

Counting the clouds sounds more exciting....

It appears to be quite...hm, it's not really "boring" that I'm searching for. I'd say it has, perhaps, very few things to grab on, things to do, based on that setting.

Anyway, it may take any direction. I'll check it out, you may call it curiosity.

Moe, more moe and maybe some generic yet detailed backgrounds or extreamly light comedy... Anyway this shall replace the time killer of kiniro mosaic :V

well the manga is fun, and it's a seinen

(I recommend batoto)

Why boring?
Slice-of-life is intended for making oneself happy of watching characters living their daily life.
I linger after a countryside show with beautiful landscapes and a rural idyll...

get counting

Not the worst slice-of-life light comedy, but boring enough.

The age of cast already makes it worth watching. Especially with how lacking elemantary school kids are nowadays.

What about high school students who look like elementary school kids? How are they counted?

they have a pretty different feel to them.

Yeah, not that interesting and the BGM is extremely annoying but hey, it was a relaxing watch.
I'd like it to become like Aiura, that's unrealstic, though.

loved first episode, Ren-chon is so cute!

Very very relaxing slice of life. The setting background is quite good and cool.

The first episode was cute and inoffensive, rather than cloying and trying too hard. I get the angle here though, it's obviously going to be playing up the 'we're country bumpkins and everything is primitive' routine.

It is; however it should be noted that it's interesting because East Asia suffers heavy deficiencies on new population (read: babies/kids), so this in reality actually could have happened anywhere. I said East Asia because China is roughly same and Korea I can guarantee this situation can be confirmed.

So while it's trying to buy itself being moe anime, it's more then that. It gets to people easily because slice of life is rather easy going, but it's of course more then that. It's subtle but shows that situation is while grim, it's fixable.

Oh, did I mention to you that Japan and South Korean population is actually heading nosedive? (More deathrate vs birthrate, meaning overall population is dropping, hence "nosediving". China is very unstable also, due to fact that male-to-female ratio is close to hitting 2:1)

There's another manga series that has very similar topic, but in cityside, and also in future. I'll go and dig it up if anyone wants me to later.

going back on topic real fast, while it's going to ride on fact that they're in countryside, it's perfectly fine. The new setting is the appeal, and show actually will have a plot (omgnowaii)

Anime should be called "Non Non-eventful". Nothing interesting really happened... will give it one more episode, but man was that a slow ~20 minutes.

It's hard to expect eventful in slice of life genre. Point of slice of life really is making uneventful interesting. If you don't like this piece of slice, what can I say? That would merely be your preference

it would have been inoffensive had this character not existed. i was offended by everything she did/said. she's almost as bad as this girl from tamako market. they are similar, after all.
it's a shame, the slow pace and setting seemed nice. but once again the characters ruin everything.

it's called "inappropriate usage of moe" I think. I can't remember exact Japanese name for it but they do seem to exist now...
