KINMOZA! eps 1-3
A cast of likeable characters, but nothing special so far. You can tell it's a 4-koma as well, I guess trying to do what KyoAni did with K-On, but failing to make the material come together in a smooth fashion over a full episode length. There's also the same weird disconnect as in HaNaYaMaTa where the native English speaker is fluent in Japanese apart from in Japanese class! (in both cases a parent is (HaNaYaMaTa)/seems to be (in this case) a Japanese speaker so I can believe they picked up enough to fit in EDIT: I wrote this after 2, but then it is explained in 3 that Karen, who is half-Japanese helped Alice, but then it transpires that Karen's Japanese is supposedly worse, eh!

). Also you would have thought Shinobu would have learnt more than hello (which she already knew) from her stay in England, but I'm guessing that's the joke that she wants to be an interpreter, but is terrible at English.
