It’s a fun watch if you have 40 minutes of spare time to watch a CGDCT (Cute Girls Doing Comedic Things) anime.
It’s a fast-paced comedy about a wood spirit and a family of soba restaurant owners. The first wood spirit might annoy you at first, but she learns a lot from her mistakes by the final episode.
The show mainly comprises a female cast, the ghost of the family's dead grandfather is the only male character you will see in the series. It’s not a "moe moe" kind of show that will overload you with so much cuteness that it becomes cloying, it’s a comedy first and foremost.
The entire anime has a duration of only two normal anime episodes, so even if you end up not liking the humor, you won't have wasted much time.

This is great! It is so fast it is hard to really get upset about anything and the art is basically as good as it gets. It looks like a mix of Monogatari and Madoka Magica. Sure it lacks depth, but it doesnt try to have any. Only thing is I wish it was longer. 3 min episodes is not enough. I want more! Everything is so cute and beautiful to look at. I laughed every episode. I am looking forward to watching the second season. I am currently watching everything I can find where the character designer is Akio Watanabe. This is like even more beautiful to look at than Monogatari.

If you love cute or colourful animation, Haitai Nanafa is an excellent choice for you. Most of the characters are very cute and has colourful eyes and hair. there's slightly shaft's head shift animation there, but do not confuse since this is not made by shaft.
the story revolves around nanafa's family, or it supposed to be like that, but not. The main character is nina, the troublemaker and makes nanafa family more lively. Nina is a wood spirit which nanafa kyan accidentally release from tree. I don't know what happen to the last 2-3 episode because it seems rush to climax (maybe the producer somehow has a wake-up call to make this slice of life animation into suspense and drama? )
Anyway, I have a fun ride watching this animation, the downfall is the duration of animation, it is toooo…

Haitai Nanafa is one of those niche micro-series with 3-5 minutes episodes that few people notice (yes, you are part of an elite group for even reading this), so it's quite hard to make a very deep analysis of it. That's not an issue, though, as it doesn't need one.
The series is lively and cute, but it actually tries to entertain instead of relying solely on the moe factor. Of course, it's impossible to ignore the appeal of young girls from different ages to a certain... peculiar public, but really, there's more to Haitai Nanafa than being a lolicon bait. Most episodes can put at least an innocent smile on the viewer's face or provide a warm feeling of joy, while others are downright hilarious. Fun for the whole family!
The visuals may remind of Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita with its colo…
