■What are the highlights of "How to Raise a Saerenai Kanojo"?

Why is "How to raise a dull girlfriend" so popular?

I would like to summarize each of these attractions.

I'm just too cute!

The majority of people who get into "How to Raise a Saerenai Kanojo" do so because they are attracted by the cuteness of the characters.

The reason for their popularity is their unexplainable cuteness, whether it is their senpai (senior) with a beautiful tongue, their tsundere (childhood friend), or just a normal, kind girl.

Each character is so adorable that after the anime aired, a character popularity contest was held.

Of all the characters in Saekano, Megumi Kato has become the most popular.

The cuteness of Kaminari is not only the royal visual of black hair and neatness, but also the way she speaks, her gestures, and even her personality are so cute that they can be accepted by everyone.

I can't get enough of the little gestures, the calm movements, and the natural parts.

At the beginning of the first season's broadcast, her presence was not that strong, but her wonderful growth as an ideal heroine is a highlight.

○ Good video quality

Saenai Kanojo no Nurturekata" has a reputation for good video quality.

Many people will find the girls' gestures and movements are depicted with great attention to detail, and the easy-to-see animations are appealing.

○The opening ending image and music are too good.

It is the opening and ending that are of interest in the anime.

The opening song for the first season was "Kimiiro Signal" by Runa Haruna, and "Colorful" was used for the ending.

All of the songs alone are exciting, and the animated videos are sure to make you want to see them.

Just the beginning of the opening makes me feel good.

○○ Talk is interesting.

In "How to Raise a Saerenai Kanojo," there are many interesting elements, such as daily life conversations and dialogues in which they talk amicably.

They may clash at times, but the atmosphere will also make you chuckle.

○ Interesting stories that make up the game.

In "How to Raise a Saerenai Kanojo," the story follows Rinya's earnest attempts to create a good game.

It describes the process of making a game and will allow you to see a world you never knew existed.

I feel that seeing their enthusiasm gives me courage and confidence in what I am doing now.

Looking at the characters, I thought it was going to be a harem and exciting progress, but it is a passionate and adolescent anime about game making.

When you think of the deep relationships with friends around you at such times, and the frustration and effort that goes into making the game, you will want to support the game, as well as the thoughts and feelings of many other people.

○○ Creators have many elements to share.

The theme is manufacturing, and the main story is game production.

Setbacks, struggles, challenges, etc., are all experienced at one time or another by those who are engaged in manufacturing.

Although "How to Raise a Saenai Kanojo" has romantic comedy elements, it will be watchable and sympathetic to those involved in the work of illustrators, novelists, producers, and other creators.

Saerenai Kano no Kano no Nuturekata no Kyoto - Holy Land Pilgrimage 1: "Sagano Bamboo Grove Road

Outline

Episode 0, "Service Times of Love and Youth," is the very first story of the first season, which began in January 2015 with the raising of Saenai Kanojo.

The story is an original story written by Fumiaki Marudo, who never appeared in the original work, so the story is a must-see.

In such episode 0, Rinya Aki and Megumi Kato escape from the inn.

Then came the bamboo grove where they had met and walked six months earlier.

It is said that this is the model for the "bamboo grove road" in Arashiyama, a famous sightseeing spot in Kyoto.

The path through the bamboo grove is well represented.

In the animation, a path with stone walls leads to a path, which is thought to be near the Okochi Villa.

If you want to go to the location of the bamboo grove pathway that appeared in "How to Raise a Saerenai Kanojo," walk westward from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station.

Still, the popular Megumi Kato looks lovely in a kimono and ponytail.

Bamboo Grove Lane is located near Arashiyama Station and is characterized by its surrounding area covered with bamboo.

It is about 400 meters long and is a relatively cool sightseeing spot even in summer because the sunlight is blocked by the bamboo.

The refreshing greenery, the rustling sound of the bamboo, and the bamboo all over the area are breathtaking.

Try visiting at different times of the day, as the scenery changes in the same place depending on the sunlight and weather.

In addition, fresh greenery can be seen in spring, many bamboos grow tall and lush in summer, and snowy scenery can be seen in winter.

In the early hours of the morning, there are few people and the cool air passing through the bamboo is quite pleasant.
