Everyone’s favorite slice of life show about three sisters living alone is back! (pretty specific huh?) It takes quite a bit to make a slice of life show good because there usually isn’t some outstanding plot to keep people hooked. Instead it takes memorable characters; people who you really enjoy watching. Minami-ke has just the right blend of characters which makes it one of the better “mundane” anime around. I will admit that the show stumbled a bit in the second season with some less than fantastic supporting roles, mainly the one that lived next door. There were also some minor art tweaks that irked me, but that was easy to look past. If season 3 can pick up where the show left off and bring back the quirkiness that made the first season soo good I can expect this to be a top contender to kick off the new year. Okaeri is schedule to air on January 5th with 13 episodes.
