'Is the Order a Rabbit?' is very special. If I may be so bold as to allow myself a bit of pretentiousness, I might say is a meditation on masks, with every character putting up a façade or hiding insecurity of some sort, even as the café, the friendships and the town keep on rolling and the world keeps on turning. If you are one of those anime fans whom I look down upon – the kind that just want to watch cute girls do cute things and to be 'healed' as it were – the characters will more than likely do the trick for you at face value. At the same time, the show can provide anyone more of my ilk with something more substantive to go along with the peaceful atmosphere, thus repelling boredom.
Yet obviously…

The anime was a fine watch, but unfortunately neither enjoyable nor recommendable.
Firstly, let me preface this by saying that Chino is one of my favourites character of all time in anime. I have many of her merch and will continue to like her despite the show.
A common problem with shows that feature a group of loli CGDCT is that the show forgets to write an actually enjoyable storyline and interactions.
A good SoL approach should demonstrate the character cast's unique and colourful interaction with common SoL events. Instead Is the order a rabbit uses very flat reactions. The SoL events doesn't showcase the different sides of the character or amplifies their personality, but instead are just thrown in as a plot device to pass the episode timer.
There is also the question of the "cut…

Let me be frank, "Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka (Is the order rabbit)?" is an anime about girls working at a coffee shop but is not plot driven. It is a comedy that is relaxing and adorable. If you are looking for something philosophical about girls selling coffee i'm afraid to say this isn't it. Don't be shocked if you are tired of the "cute girls doing cute things" type of animes and decide to watch this anime only to find yourself disappointed.
Now with that out of the way let me start by saying that i LOVE this anime. The characters themselves are adorable and the interaction between the characters leaves me laughing and in a better mood than when i started each episode. It is a cheerful upbeat anime that will make you laugh and have a good time, what more could you want from a comedy?

Are you exhausted after watching an intense anime? Or do you just want to see some cute girls trying to get through everyday problems both in school, and in their personal lives?
Well than Gochuumon wa usagi desu ka?( GochiUSa) or Is the order a rabbit? is the anime for you.
Story 8/10- Being a Slice-of-Life/ Moe anime, the story is usually about everyday. mundane events, but due to the colorful cast and great storytelling, the story is bumped up to a 8 out of 10. Although this slife-of-life way of storytelling can create a bit of a slow pace sometimes and there really isn't any huge, earth-shaking character development, which didn't bother me all that much, but this is just a small warning.
Art 9/10 - While also following the traditional moe style of drawing the characters, the anime ha…

First of all this is my first review, I never expected to make one in the first place so I struggled a lot with the redaction.
Story: There is not much to say about the story in a “cute girls doing cute things” (CGDCT) anime.
It is first introduced with Kokoa who gets lost while looking for the place where she was going to live so she decides to stop by a cafeteria with the coincidence that it was also the place where she was going to live and work part-time, there she meets Chino and Rize, later she would meet Chiya and Sharo who worked at different cafeterias. It is also worth mentioning that the girls assist to different schools so the show develops in a labor environment or just the girls hanging out after work and not in a school environment like most (if not all) CGDTs.
Now to the…

She living in town with Chino Kafū at her family's Rabbit House Café, working as a waitress to be able to pay for her accommodation. And the start of the story but because how is anime is written i not say anymore on it, but can say that the story is well written and has quite a charm to it. Now on to the 5 main characters themselves, Cocoa Hoto (Voiced by Ayane Sakura), a girl starting middle school and works as a waitress part time.

While Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka does not have much of a story, it's a slice of life/comedy anime about cute girls and cute activities, so that's to be expected.
Story: 7/10?
There's nothing much to say about the story in this case, since there wasn't much plot. But that's not the point of these types of shows. This anime was meant to provide entertainment through supplying joy and bringing moe to its own notable level.
Art: 9/10
The art was really impressive and the character designs were really cute, and captivating. The art is probably the best part of the show, since it really brings out to gentleness of the setting and cuteness of the characters. The characters are colorful and diverse in appearance and made them all attractive in their own way too.
Sound: 8/10

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Was a series of 4-panel manga written by Koi and published in Manga Time Kirara Max. From April to June of last year, it got a twelve episode anime adaptation from White Fox Studio. You may remember them from their work on Jormungand, Steins;Gate and their one fail that I've seen, Katanagatari. How does this one hold up? Let's find out. This is GochiUsa.
Story:
Our tale begins with our main character, Cocoa (she's Cocoa but she's not quite loco), moving to a new area. There's just one problem, she can't find the family she's supposed to be staying with. She stops at a cafe called Rabbit House to ask for directions where she meets young Chino. Luckily for her, Rabbit House turns out to be the place she was looking for. What a fortunate coincidence. While workin…

I’m going to keep this one short, If you’ve ever seen a cute slice-of-life anime before you already know what to expect with this one…
Over the duration of the anime nothing really happens, girls working in a cafe make more friends over time… thats it really! There is a tiny bit of character development doesn’t really seem to be much of a plot line to this series at all. It is simply a light-hearted story of a group of girls living their daily lives and joking around and having some laughs along the way. If your looking for an anime that you can sit back and smile at, then this maybe the one for you.
The characters aren’t anything special, there is the shy and quiet Chino, the very ditzy Cocoa. Sharo (who’s scared of rabbits) and a worker at the rival cafe, Chiya, who runs the rival cafe…

(This has been adapted from my reddit thread)
Nature contains two distinct branches, if you will: flora and fauna. Or for those that prefer the basic terms, plants and animals. Disregarding all of the former gives us a wide range of creatures that roam the Earth. The ferocious rhinos of Africa, the black-and-white pandas of Asia, and the slithering snakes of Australia, to name a few. These examples are more exotic; that is, some animals are a bit more domestic. The most popular among them being dogs and cats. However, there exists one rather cute species that has garnered much attention throughout the years. And if the title doesn't make it apparent, this animal is, of course, the bunny rabbit. In Is the Order a Rabbit?, while the coffee and cute girls take the spotlight, there are still…

Gochuumon is a show I first picked up on off of some crossover art with Sora no Method, which in retrospect might have been a missed red flag given how that series has played out. But after a few episodes, reams of fanart of the most adorable and youngest of the main characters, and with its banging OP theme implanted firmly in my music line-up, I was hooked.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be a case of jumping the gun. The more I watched, the more I realized that the initial flash that had pulled me in was just that - frontloading the series with catchy content to give the appearance of a better show. Lots of shows do this, but the 'slump' in this case was half the series, and by the time it felt like it had found its stride there was a handful of episodes left. The high-energy theme…

As you would expect, Gochuumon is a slice of life anime about cute girls doing cute things. However, the emphasis on actual humor puts it well above many others in the slice of life category.
Story: N/A
It's a slice of life show, so there is no real story to speak of. Cocoa moves into the cafe that Chino's family owns during the first episode, and that's about it. Besides very small character development don't expect much more than this.
Art: 9
With a show like this you have to make cute girls, and yes, they are cute. The colors of the girls pop out and the animation rarely falters. Everyone is very detailed. I actually prefer this look in this type of anime rather than the moe blob or ultra deformed types I've seen. The outfits change often and all look nice. The backgrounds are not bad…

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka isn't a particularly standout anime among the bunch of new ones coming out this year, but it deserves a little more attention. Many compare this to K-on, and it's no surprise; they both have a large number of similarities, except for the most obvious one that K-on is set in a music club at a high school while Gochuumon is set in a cafe in a small village. But the characters are very similar. Anyway, on to the review.
Story: 6
There isn't really a whole lot of story in this series, as to be expected from a slice of life anime. Each episode is for the most part self-reliant, the story in each episode not connecting to the one from the previous episode; in short, there is no solid story that keeps this show going. It's rather just a show about five waitresses that…

Moe shows. There's at least one in every season. The simple concept of four or more girls living their daily lives in animated form is somehow so fascinating and interesting, that we are required to have one every season. Not to make moe seem like a bad thing, but really, they're all the same. Today, I will be reviewing the moe show of this 2013 spring season, Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Or, Is the order a rabbit?
Story (6.33/10): The story of Gochiusa, as it's known in its shorter form, is simple. Cocoa, an incoming high school student, gets transferred to what I assume to be Switzerland or some other European country in that area, in order to attend school due to the fact that her mother is working abroad, and she needs someone to take care of her. Upon finding her new home known as th…

For anyone that does not seek a cliche or a proper plot, then this is an anime for you. Great for loli-cons and people who loves art work from anime.
There is no real story or plot behind this anime, but a series of scenes of slice of live situations. A wonderful anime for your "break" from another anime. This has brought me laughter and joy. Whenever I think about this, it just sparks me and longs for more. Not much over-used comedic effects to get cheap laughs from the audience.
The art is simply splendid. I guarantee this is one of the best drawn anime ever. If you disagree, tell me. They really maximized the use of the moe effect; from the detailed hair style of Rize to the cute bow that Cocoa wears, to Tippy on Chino's head to Chiya's gleeful smile to Syaro's uniform. The backgroun…

This anime was very adorable to watch. All the characters had a really good back story, especially Chino. I give this anime an outstanding score because it was very enjoyable to watch and I recognized two voice actresses from another anime that i previously watched. I also give the character development as a 10 because Chino had a really great back story about her grandpa (currently the rabbit Tippy) and it was all a mystery until episode 10 or 11 (or some of the mystery about chino's grandpa we found out about). The sound I also, as always I'd give a 10 because the voice actors were very well chosen for this anime. The enjoyment of this anime was very well because Cocoa is the funniest character in this anime (out of the other characters). I'm hoping that this anime will have another seas…

Oh hi, people. I am a person who acts like Tommy Wiseau from The Room. Since, mercury1980 is away, I instead should do a review on "Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka?", the anime about cute girls in a cafe. Isn't it good, huh?
Hello. I would like to have a cup of coffee. - Me
Oh hey, I didn't know it was you. - Shop Owner
That's me. - Me
That will be 5 dollars. - Shop Owner
Here you go, keep the change. Hello, Tippy. - Me

Cocoa Hoto tries to adapt into this environment as she learns how to prepare tea and coffee, especially what she needs to do as a waitress.

Alongside the frequent harem and superpower shows, anime involving cute girls (generally of the loli variety) living their daily lives has become a common sight in the industry over recent years. If you have watched even one cute slice-of-life before, you already know what kind of anime Gochiusa is going to be. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Gochiusa finds a sort of equilibrium in its plainness. It is nothing that anime veterans and newcomers will find to be anything too special, but it is not as though every anime needs to be a life-changing experience. Something that merely allows you to relax and forget the troubles of the real world is also an equally valid (though perhaps less important) source of entertainment... especially when it contains cute girls.
The set-up can be e…

When people think of the animal known as the rabbit, there are two common things that pop into mind. The first is luck and the second is cute. The latter usually applies to those who wants to own a rabbit as a pet or have seen them face to face. And it’s not anything unusual too for people to react with delightful grace because rabbits are fluffy, cute, and likeable. Similarly, there is the common trend of ‘cute girls doing cute things’. (CGDCT) Two common things may pop into mind for series with such concept. The first is appreciation and the second is…cute.
Make no mistake though, Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? (Is The Order a Rabbit) doesn’t just have the cute girls but also has the luck factor when Cocoa Hoto wonders around town and happens upon this place called “Rabbit Café” by pure lu…

I lost hope. This anime has ended. ;~;
There is always an anime showing "cute girls doing cute things" every scene. I can never stop loving them, because they are always nice to watch. They are your perfect healers.
So, do you like lolis in your cafe?
Gochuumon wa Usagi desu ka? (or Gochiusa) revolves around five cute girls working on their own shifts in their respective workplace, all of them being cafes. The main character, Cocoa, starts her high-school life in a German-like town. Arriving at the "Rabbit House" cafe hoping to see rabbits in the cafe, she finds out that she will be working in that cafe with a soft-spoken girl Chino, and staying as accomodation as well.
From there, she meets the rest of the main cast - Rize, Chiya and Sharo, and other girls. The whole story is simple -…
