DESCRIPTION

Coming to a new town to start high school can be intimidating, and that's especially true for Cocoa, who can't find the place she's supposed to be staying when she arrives. When she stops at a cafe to ask for directions, however, it turns out that she's already where she needs to be! You see, the Rabbit House is both a restaurant and a boarding house, and Cocoa will be working there along with the owner's granddaughter, Chino and the strangely military-obsessed Rize. It's a great place to work, business is hopping, and Cocoa's fits right in with her new coworkers, as well as the girls from two other rival cafes. Still, there is something just a little odd about the Rabbit House. Besides the fact that Rize usually carries a Glock and a knife hidden on her, there's also a mystery involving the shop's pet rabbit, Tippy. And then there are those girls who sometimes seem to be able to communicate without talking…

Today's good mood is brought to you by the refreshment, sweetness, and tranquility of the Rabbit House café!

Cathartic in nature, GochiUsa is a heartwarmer that has its roots in providing contentment—similar to the relaxation one can feel from sipping freshly-brewed coffee. With an ample amount of lovable charms and a cuteness as cute as the twitches of a bunny's nose, it's the ideal to show to hearten oneself. I mean, just look at my smiling face!

But let's be clear first. The show doesn't have the most imaginative story as it follows pretty much all the things other CGDCTs have. Instead, it's in its setting—a town with European resemblances—that gives GochiUsa a special kind of appeal. Elegant, idyllic, and traditional, the town's architectures are adorned by timbered buildings and cobbled streets, making it a breath of a fresh air away from the usual high school setting. Really, it's the perfect environment to have some joviality. Like an "on cloud nine" kind of thing. And you can find out just how peaceful this show can get when you enter the Rabbit House, a café where caffeinated aromas linger about and where plenty of lightheartedness is waiting to be met.

A place full of endearments is inviting me.

After being greeted by the gentle Chino, who has an odd fluffball of a rabbit atop her head, Cocoa starts a new life in the town by working as a Rabbit House waitress. From there on, she meets the other girls, all of whom are equally as adorable, and this is where the euphoria begins to seep through my heart. There's no deep drama. No major conflicts. The setting has already established a tranquil state-of-mind prior to everything else, and that peacefulness continues to emanate throughout every episode. As a result, all the activities the girls do here—working at their cafés, partaking in silly fun, or developing their friendship and sisterly bonds—are enjoyable to watch. The fluffy atmosphere simply blankets their interactions in a way that makes me want to cuddle them.

Or "Mofu mofu~!", as Cocoa will adorably say.

There's also one other aspect that elevates my fondness for the show. That is, each one of the girl's personality reflects the beverages in which they're named after: hot cocoa for Cocoa's comforting sweetness, cappuccino for Chino's mature and childish duality, Thé des Alizés for Rize's cute tendencies despite her strictness, uji matcha for Chiya's refined elegance, and the Kilimanjaro coffee for Sharo's insecure sensitivity toward her own image. So if you think of GochiUsa as one wholesome café, then the girls are basically its warm, little beverages. Endearing, isn't it?

And to further paint the soothing image of the show in your mind, the art—while more on the average side animation-wise—utilizes its soft pastel palette harmoniously in conjunction with its visual design. I already talked about the architectural beauty of the town, so let me expand on that by saying the numerous outfits, sweets, and expressions here are some of the other things that give more delight to an already delightful setting. It's like what they say—appreciate the little things in life. Because as tiny as the aesthetic details may be, they all add up together into one pleasant whole that makes the show continuously fun to bunny-hop through each second along the way.

The soundtracks deserve a mention as well, as they too contribute to the easy-going atmosphere. Whether they're the fairytale-like or the restful tunes, all of them share the commonality in rejuvenating one's heart and soul, and to highlight the lovable voices of the girls at the same time. You can certainly say the audiovisual has inspired the affection within me.

At the end of the day, GochiUsa is a show that personifies what happy serenity is all about. It may have used the same kind of ingredients found in other CGDCTs, but the comfort it creates with its town setting and affectionate girls is distinct enough to be appealing—a charm that I like to compare with the refreshing, sweet, and tranquil atmosphere of a café.

Start your day with coffee. End your day with this heartwarming show.

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Review

(this review is based on my opinion and written with my not so good english)

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? is a show about bunch of girls having fun while working in a cafe. There's nothing better than watching this relaxing and enjoyable show to made your day.

Story
The story began when a high school cocoa a girl who just arrived at village to find the place where she supposed to live in while attending high school there. The place she supposed to live in the village is a cafe, so then she help the granddaughter of the owner work there together. As the story progressing latter on she meet a new friend and play together with them.
The story itself isn't complicated, it's so simple to understand and really enjoyable. It's doesn't have any that kind of stuff that mess with your emotion, It's just a fun ride that made you really calm and happy with it's own comedic element.

Character

Gochiusa has a lot of cute girls doing a cute girls, in fact almost all the character I found is a girl (except Chino's dad and Rize's dad and probably tippy?). Every character has it's own unique personalty. There's Chino the granddaughter of the cafe owner that looks like a quiet kuudere type. Cocoa who pretends to be Chino onee-chan that's so energetic and always brings everyone together. Rize who looks tough but actually so kind to other, and many more character. Every character show their bond of friendship against each other, and their own personality combine together make it a one good show. Also they have famous seiyuu / voice actress that made the character more appealing.

Music
I like the opening and ending from this season (season 2 and 3 also good too but this is a review about season 1 so... well). They have their cast singing the opening and ending song.
we have Maaya Uchida, Risa Taneda, Ayane Sakura, Inori Minase, Satomi Sato here. What can I expect more?

Other than opening and ending, I also kindda like the BGM on the anime, it's so relaxing i guess.

Art
the art is all good for me, it has some vintage feeling in it. I like the way they made the town and cafe in this show.
Maybe you can just take a look yourself.

and for the animation since it's not an action kind of show, so it doesn't really need that good animation.
