Non Non Biyori Season 1

Non Non Biyori Season 1 has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available on and . A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 103 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Kotori Koiwai is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

There is a reason Non Non Biyori Season 1 keeps coming up in conversation. Non Non Biyori Season 1 gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Asahigaoka might look like typical, boring countryside to most; however, no day in this village can ever be considered colorless thanks to five students of varying ages occupying the only class in the only school in town. The youngest student is first grader Renge Miyauchi, who brings an unadulterated wit, curiosity, and her characteristic catchphrase, "Nyanpasu!" Then there are the Koshigaya siblings consisting of the quiet ninth grader and elder brother Suguru, diminutive eighth grader Komari, and the mischievous seventh grader Natsumi. The recent arrival of Tokyo-raised fifth grader Hotaru Ichijou, who appears overdeveloped for her age and thus naturally holds an air of maturity, rounds out this lively and vibrant group of five classmates. Kotori Koiwai and Rie Murakawa lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2013. What keeps Non Non Biyori Season 1 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Non Non Biyori Season 1. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Kotori Koiwai sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
