Dagashi Kashi’ season 1 premiered on January 8, 2016 and came to an end on April 1, 2016. This was followed by season 2 which was aired from January 12, 2018 to March 30, 2018. Since then, ‘Dagashi Kashi’ hasn’t really left the minds of anime viewers but is that good enough for the creators to come up with a new season? Let’s find out… Just by looking at the cover, you'll know at first's glance the character who's going to be subjected to fanservice. Yep, that's Hotaru. The show is going to be playing with her extremely large breasts in almost every episode so strap on if you want to see candy crumbs falling on her breasts or if you want to see a Slimey/Watery white candy (I forget what it was called) exploding on her face. I rated it 10 in enjoyment because I like this kind of animes and enjoyed the humor and stories about candy origins. The show is not that funny." Yeah, probably because it isn't meant to be funny. I don't understand why is it marked as comedy / shounen here on MAL, when it is neither of that, it's a slice of life more than anything. It's supposed to make you smile, maybe giggle a little bit, but don't expect to laugh out loud.

Alice Allusion: The anime's ending is a series of scenes from Alice in Wonderland with Saya as Alice and Hotaru as various Wonderland characters, including the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, and the Walrus (chasing mini-donuts with Tou and Kokonotsu's faces). Distracted by the Sexy: Kokonotsu at times with Hotaru, who will occasionally but inadvertently use Erotic Eating. Or occasionally say things in a way that can be taken in the wrong context, such as asking him to be an adult... by drinking a non-alcoholic drink that looks like beer but is actually apple or pineapple juice. Their most popular product is their Japan Crate box, which offers between 18 and 20 different goodies. They can range from popular candies to savoury chips! You’ll also get a Japanese drink, a manga with English translations, and one secret bonus item.

Background

Hajime has few other clothes besides her Office Lady outfit. Enforced, since those are the only clothes she owns, as she'd be homeless and jobless if not for Kokonotsu taking her in and all her pay goes to cover her living expenses. a b "Ayana Taketatsu Performs Dagashi Kashi 2 Anime's Opening Theme".

Dagashi Kashi peddles is "glossy, carefree romantic comedy anime" — Zac Bertschy Radically different from the first season of this anime, the second season of Dagashi Kashi seems to abandon what made the first season shine - the information about dagashi. They do provide some small nuggets in most episodes, but they take a secondary place behind an ill-made attempt at turning this anime into a slice of life story when there's really nothing interesting going on.

Of course, not all classic dagashi are quite so confronting. Also included in this category is Konpeito, a colorful, star-shaped sugar candy first introduced to Japan in the 1500s and Karinto, a sweet, deep-fried dough made of flour and brown sugar. Dagashi have existed as a category of Japanese sweets since the mid-Edo period, where they developed as a way to differentiate cheaper sweets (made with corn or starch) from more expensive sweets, jogashi (made with sugar). However, dagashi truly came to peak popularity in the mid-20th century, when dagashi-ya, or dagashi shops, became a popular hangout spot for kids in the ’60–’80s. Dagashi are sometimes compared to “penny candy,” as both are very affordable. He then went to Café Endō to tell Tō Endō and Saya Endō about a pretty girl with a weird love of dagashi which makes Saya anxious. At the moment when he requested for another cup, Saya taunted him that her coffee is bad and she is willing to listen more of his story; he then drank the entire cup and he wanted to have more coffee as long as it's made by herself.

Dagashi, made from starch or corn, was the commoner equivalent of the more expensive jōgashi, which was higher quality and made from white sugar. Dagashi Kashi 2 Anime Listed With 12 Episodes".

Manga

The Art and the Character Design looks pretty average. It's what you'd expect from a Slice of Life show except I won't call this a Sol show since it's not labeled in the Genre tags. This show is created by Studio feel, the studio behind My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO and I honestly would have preferred if the character designs were almost the same as SNAFU TOO because the art in that show is feel's best work and this feels like half-assed. The animation is pretty good, though I wasn't expecting much since this show is just about candies. Dagashi Kashi is for me the rare show that turned out to be different from what I expected, in a wholly positive way. No fanservice or wish fulfilment going on here, just unabashed dagashi nerdiness and fun slice of life. If you’re also hoping for some savoury nibbles, this one has you covered. It offers plenty of salty treats like Japan-exclusive potato chips or dried seaweed. And if you’re craving a simple lunch, you might get some instant noodles like ramen or udon. a b c d e f "Dagashi Kashi Anime's Cast, Song Artists Revealed". Anime News Network. November 15, 2015.

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.

With a higher price point, compared to other boxes, they have a great variety of treats. There are roughly about 21 tidbits but leans more towards sweet treats. This anime is a slice of life comedy through and through from it's setting of a rural town to the local candy store which is the setting for most of the anime screentime. The comedy like it's "slice of life" genre has simple yet some fanservicey punchlines from the minimal cast however even with 5 main cast members, their chemistry together makes the comedy all the more entertaining and relatable.

Birds of a Feather: Kokonotsu doesn't like to to admit it, but he's almost as much of a dagashi nerd as Hotaru. in between, a little weird and a little normal. So all in all, the characters are almost perfectly corresponding to each other and made this show comical and amusing.

Well this is my first review and I'm writing this because I thought that many people rated it too low.

Types of Dagashi

Overall, you will definitely enjoy this anime if you had a childhood that can relate to this anime. If you don't, just take this experience to build a list of Dagashi that you want to buy when you visit Japan for a holiday. is part of a famous family owned sweet company. She wants Kokonotsu’s father to join and he only agrees on the condition that Kokonotsu can take over his own shop. Thus, we got Hotaru and her ever daring tactics to get Kokonotsu for taking the shop. Other yummy treats in this crate include konpeito, daifuku, Ramune-flavoured candy, and much more! Overall, you can expect a pretty good range of small bites from Japan 2oz.
