^ The art/animation style is sometimes a bit awkward, but overall I think it's okay. Maybe they did it on purpose (to show Naru as an average girl?) or it might've just been an awkward angle.
Note on the series' title, since I finally figured it out after watching the anime -- it comes from an abbreviation of the names of the 5 main characters: Hana, Naru, Yaya, Machi, Tama.
I really loved the first episode, and am pretty hyped for the rest. The visuals and music are gorgeous, and I also found the voice acting very effective. Good stuff.
Was somewhat surprised to see that ep. 1 covered 4 manga chapters though. I guess the adaptation pace will be somewhat fast. Not necessarily a bad thing but it look like the manga will be fairly quickly left behind.
