About Hanamaru Kindergarten

Hanamaru Kindergarten (はなまる幼稚園) arrives as a comedy anime by GAINAX (2010), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Anzu goes to a kindergarten with her friends, the shy Koume and the eccentric Hiiragi. Together they try to attract attention from their caretaker Tsuchida.

More of the story: However, he is clearly more interested in the pretty Yamamoto who supervises the class next door.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Kei Shindou as Anzu and Ayahi Takagaki as Hiiragi. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
