Best Underrated Anime Group F Round 3: #F3 vs #F1

#F3: Daily lives of tiny forest women

#F1: High school girls go to Antarctica

Details and poll under the cut!

#F3: Hakumei and Mikochi (Hakumei to Mikochi)

Summary:

In a world inhabited by people only a few inches tall, young women Hakumei and Mikochi live together in a house built into a tree. Hakumei is an energetic and tomboyish carpenter, while Mikochi is a feminine and calm tailor. Despite their differences, they get along well and spend their days having fun living their lives in the woods. The two of them spend their time working, going on sightseeing adventures, and taking shopping trips into Tsumiki Marketplace by the ocean. They make many friends along the way, be they sentient woodland creatures like Iwashi the Weasel or fellow miniature people such as the songstress Konju and the inventor Sen. Hakumei to Mikochi is a relaxing look into the day-to-day lives of its titular characters as they explore and interact with their tiny world which seems to be straight out of a fairy tale.

Propaganda:

It really is super adorable, and the art is gorgeous. Every bit of the world is rendered lovingly with a great level of detail, from the characters to the environments. The anime has this really cool effect where they use paneling to emulate the manga’s style while also making the characters visually smaller on-screen, which works because they’re tiny.

For a slice-of-life show, there’s a good amount of continuity. They introduce the swamp necromancer Sen in one episode, and she keeps showing up later on, helping rebuild their house when it explodes, then Mikochi repays her for that by designing and making a dress for her. The show gets really into the intricacies of everything, like how dying fabric is a multistep process that is similar to chemistry, or how soap is made with aromatics.

Every character is well-realized, with their own set of quirks, profession, the tricks and tools they use in that profession, and they make pretty consistent re-appearances. And the writing is very dry and witty despite the whimsical setting. It’s cute, but it feels very adult, all the characters are adults with jobs who get drunk sometimes. Everyone is very professional and responsible, and it’s a nice change of pace from teen shounen.

Trigger Warnings: None.

#F1: A Place Further than the Universe (Sora yori mo Tooi Basho)

Summary:

Filled with an overwhelming sense of wonder for the world around her, Mari Tamaki has always dreamt of what lies beyond the reaches of the universe. However, despite harboring such large aspirations on the inside, her fear of the unknown and anxiety over her own possible limitations have always held her back from chasing them. But now, in her second year of high school, Mari is more determined than ever to not let any more of her youth go to waste. Still, her fear continues to prevent her from taking that ambitious step forward—that is, until she has a chance encounter with a girl who has grand dreams of her own.

Spurred by her mother's disappearance, Shirase Kobuchizawa has been working hard to fund her trip to Antarctica. Despite facing doubt and ridicule from virtually everyone, Shirase is determined to embark on this expedition to search for her mother in a place further than the universe itself. Inspired by Shirase's resolve, Mari jumps at the chance to join her. Soon, their efforts attract the attention of the bubbly Hinata Miyake, who is eager to stand out, and Yuzuki Shiraishi, a polite girl from a high class background. Together, they set sail toward the frozen south.

Sora yori mo Tooi Basho follows the captivating journey of four spirited girls, all in search of something great.

Propaganda 1:

This show literally changed my life I’m not even kidding. It’s messages about living your life to the fullest and finding, creating, and maintaining important friendships in your life literally got me to pick myself up and actually start living my life. All of its main characters are all incredibly memorable, and they all bounce off of each other very well. It’s fun and cute as hell, but also a really powerful story about dealing with grief and moving on. The final three episodes of the show are an emotional gut-punch, but they leave you with a sense of bittersweet fulfillment and a drive to get out in the world and have your own adventure.

Propaganda 2:

Let’s start with the fact that this is Madhouse doing a (relatively) grounded coming of age story about high school girls - the show looks gorgeous, of course. The music’s solid as well. (I still regularly listen to the ending.) But what really shines is the writing and characterization.

The pacing on this is perfect. For a show that spends half its runtime getting to Antarctica, you never feel like the time should be allotted differently or that you’re missing out on hijinks. Episode 12 is a particular standout, with tension building up until it explodes, and then goes still for the true emotional climax of the show. The four main girls all feel like believable teens, and seeing their relationship develop over the course of the series and watching them come into their own is well-done. The way it handles Shirase and her emotions, and how this complicates her relationships with them all is a particular standout. This may not be eligible in that it’s one of those anime people who watch A LOT of anime will recommend highly—it was on Crunchyroll and IGN’s best anime of the 2010s lists and on several “best of” lists for 2018. But it never quite took off the way it truly deserves, so I’m submitting it. It’s getting an English dub soon, though, and I really hope that gives it a resurgence of popularity. The girls are alright.

So when I picked Oizumicho Nishiide (a sub-town within Hokuto, Yamanashi) to stay in, it was a little bit random. I had found a charming looking BnB online and was like sure! Let's do this.

It was very interesting because I hadn't realized I would be on a rural train line. It only runs about 7 times a day per direction, and the station I was at (Kai-Ōizumi) is unmanned and apparently stopped ticket sales some time ago due to such low turnout. People in the town mostly use cars given the steep inclines and how spread out everything was. (I very very quickly learned this hauling my two suitcases up a mile and a half on a bumpy road to my BnB.)

(More about the process of this rural train experience below the cut!)

(The style of train I took to Kai-Ōizumi.)

When I got on the train at the connecting station between the JR Chūō line and the Koumi line, I saw this red box but didn't know what to do about it. No one else got on with me so I couldn't observe and mimic. So when I got off at my stop at Kai-Ōizumi, the conductor informed me in rapid Japanese (which I admittedly only caught 60% of, given I'm not well studied in train terms) that since I did not take the voucher from the red box, I'd need to take an IOU and apply it to my Pasmo card the next time I was at a manned station. The line did not use Pasmo in the usual sense. Thankfully someone else made the same mistake and I felt a little less foolish. My fellow mistake maker kindly explained this to me after we disembarked the train in simpler Japanese. Thank you, kind stranger!

(Behold the IOU!)

Once I finished my two days in Oizumicho Nishiide, I went back and pulled the voucher this time.

Upon exiting the Koumi line at Kobuchizawa, I went to the counter and paid for both of these tickets, and then did a U-turn and swiped my Pasmo again so I could transfer to the Chūō line to make my way to Kofu for a day.

I was glad I had this experience as I was reminded of my time living in rural France (in a tiny town of 200 people) where the commuter bus came in 5 times a day and didn't run after 7pm. I also got to extensively use my Japanese during this experience given how many people I had to talk to and questions I had to ask. (Fun fact: apparently I was at the 3rd highest elevation train station in Japan, according to a small sign at Kai-Ōizumi.)

Given how interested I am in public transportation, having experienced Japan's very modern city based trains and long distance Shinkansen trains, I am happy I also got to explore a little more of the train system here!
