Non Non Biyori follow the idyllic lives of Hotaru, Komari, Natsumi, and Renge, a group of friends aged 7 to 14 and their little adventures in the rural paradise of Asahigaoka. The show is very episodic in nature and you can pretty much watch in any order you like. I think it’s very hard to add anything new when talking about this, for two reasons. First, everybody already watched this. Second, there’s not that much to talk about. It’s a very well established formula at this point. A group of sweet, endearing characters living the best time of their lives in the Japanese countryside. Non Non is just better than most at it. The plots are not what makes this special though. You’ll go through all the same stuff; fireworks, melon and a hot summer, a beach episode, a school festival episode and…

If I am allowed to give a medal, I will give it to this anime who'd never betrayed me. Probably we can also said, this is the one of the works that is hard for majority people to be hate. As if judging a magnificent work of art, as much as the high appraisal i'm going to put in it carefully.
Serenity and convenience felt in thicknesess, it's like when I had to listen whole songs out there with relaxing atmosphere. This manage to set me free from tension of bustle and hustle my real life.
(This is my total impression in respecting this anime).
Non Non Biyori, is not an anime series who became extraordinary caused by influential of main ideas, but it came from the accuracy in plot structure development itself. Showing a harmonious of plot composition, art style, background music, in a mann…

Non Non Biyori falls squarely into SOL moe cgdct territory but makes up for all of the generic tropes that come with that by setting itself in the countryside; effectively changing the characters, their interactions, and general way of life to make a unique experience that stands out in the SOL genre.
Non Non Biyori Reapeat is, above all else, an improvement on literally everything the first season did.
Repeat can be watched standalone, but I elected (and preferred) to watch the first season to get a feel for the show.
Repeat brings back the full cast of characters from the first season and quite literally repeats that initial year of Hotaru's introduction to the rural utopia of Asahigaoka at different points. Providing more fleshed out characters, more self contained stories, and a ple…

Nyanpasu! Are you ready to repeat the whole experience of relaxation in the countryside once more? I hope you are! Repeat is another seed planted on an already wonderful garden. And it's a sequel that has flourished into a daisy symbolizing the purity and innocence shared by Non Non Biyori.
Asahigaoka. It may just be a small village, but it knows what purity is all about. Like an aromatic wave of petrichor after the pitter patters of rain, the lingering sweetness marks the cycle of pleasant experiences bounded by freshness and positivity. Many new adventures are awaiting them as the sun celebrates the time to rise and shine! For these blooming flowers, Asahigaoka is their special home. The country life is full of rejuvenating acti…

I think, this anime is the best healing anime ever ! That just my opinion, but if you watch it, i promise it never dissapoint you.
This anime was full of girls, with 4 main protagonist (Renge, Natsumi, Hotaru, and Komari). Just one male character appeared in this season (Komari and Natsumi's older brother). They're alive in the village and enjoy every moment. They're playing together, have fun together, and gave audience positive aura.
I like everything in this anime. Lovable character, Natural dialogue, Good Comedy, Village theme, and The Story was so simple to watch. Soundtrack was great, fit with this anime.
If you want to watch anime with family, this anime is the best choice.

Non Non Biyori repeat is 2nd season which continue on the character's daily life in urban village. This is different from another anime because the aspect is on the village not in the highschool on tokyo or whatever. Ok, so now i will rate it :
Story -- 9
The story is great, the MC's daily life is consistent with their own theme. The theme itself is about living in urban village. Like catching bug, fishing, go to school with friends with age's different. The comedy itself is excecuted so well.
Art -- 8
The MC's art are very good, like our modern anime's style now. But it doesn't have their own unique art style so yeah, only that. But the graphic is very solid and doesn't make you want to drop to watch the anime
Sound -- 8
The background music is fit with the situation, each character's…

This anime is stupid. Well, Non Non Biyori has always been.
Non Non Biyori Repeat is one of those anime that take a while to catch on. But still just nothing special. It was interesting that this whole anime is like a flashback that mirrors over the course of the year of the first season.
It was a lot slower than I expected. From the plot, I knew it was a slow-paced series, but after coming with different expectations due to the more light-hearted and faster first season, I thought that this was just very mediocre. The characters had gotten worse as did its story.
It didn't have that many jokes in it, but one joke fell flat, which is the parody to Pretty Cure. I couldn't even read the subtitles, they went so fast.
Hotaru, the crybaby is more stupider than I remember, like when she walk…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Non Non Biyori Repeat almost makes me feel bad about myself.
To Renge and the gang, a cell phone is a sign of luxury, and “dot com” is a mysterious concept. To me, I cannot live without the Internet. I cannot go a day without using a computer or checking out /r/anime or playing a video game. I do not consider smartphones and e-mail anomalies; I consider them necessities.
But Repeat does not make me feel bad for too long, for quickly afterwards it provides a superb experience with a lot of heart and a lot of soul, forcing me to realize that life’s most important parts are the ones that have been nearby all along.

Repeat is a slice-of-life anime. Its contents are everyday events, singular nuggets of fun. An…

Non Non Biyori is a true master of the slice of life genre. It doesn't follow the typical cliche things girls do in their free time in the city but instead accounts for what to do when the city isn't an option. The result of Non Non Biyori is a mixture of heartwarming, happiness, and nostalgia for your childhood. Non Non Biyori Repeat improves upon that even more and created one of the happiest times I've ever experienced watching anime.
Story: (9/10)
The story is pretty basic. It's the exact same as Non Non Biyori but takes place at different points in time between the first season and shows them. Renge seems to have a much bigger presence in this season and I enjoyed her stories a lot as Renge is one of my favorite characters. What really makes the story amazing is all of the experience…

For a slice of life this show was absolutely beautiful. I have not really seen this concept in a show were it mainly takes place in a low populated and low interest place. This show pulls off the concept well, as the main characters goof off and just have fun to make for each episode being different and some how enjoyable. The comedy is smart at times, making for a simple joke to actually be a laugh out loud moment. The characters are simple and yet they are entertaining, never losing character all throughout the show. Each episode is different, and nothing major happens that could change any episode. This show did a swell job at making a simple concept very entertaining.

And a end to another good slice of life anime series...
I will miss this one
Short Summary:
At Asahioka Branch School (in the countryside), there are only five students there; none of them in the the same grade. The story follows the daily lives of the four girls of the school; playing in rivers, having secret bases and many more.
The pace is easygoing but it's enjoyable and heartwarming.
This anime is a sequel to the first season "Non Non Biyori" and like the first season, this season was enjoyable!
There is no specific story (as this is a slice of life) yet it is fun to watch.
I was actually surprised when I heard that this series was getting a second season (I mean there's no solid plot) but I was glad to see it again.
If you enjoy slice of life series or enjoyed the first season of…

Leave behind your preconceptions of story development or smart character evolution. Detatch your mind from what silly necessity you feel of a strong plot, hard-hitting dialogue or particularly standout animation, for this is anything but. Forget about the stress of your weekday, light up a blunt and unwind, as Non Non Biyori Repeat is, for what it's worth, relaxation exemplified within animation.
The series begins, and stays, within an unnamed rural town in the middle of nowhere. Featuring four little girls as our protagonists, their adventures through the lavish and quiet town they live in as the main focus, we're presented with an episodic structure that plays it safe. The little group of friends is very charming, but none particularly stand out aside from Renge, a first-grader. Her es…

Non Non Biyori Repeat has possibly become my favorite Slice of Life anime. This is the second season and hopefully not the last. The ambiance was what won me over. Just Beautiful, relaxing and calm life style that just brought me back to when I lived in the country side except I didn't have any friends with me (and still don't...). Anyways lets get started!
Story: 8
This was the weakest point in the anime in my opinion. But almost every slice of life has this issue of not having a major plot. I don't condemn it for not having a plot what so ever.

Huge improvement from the first season. Lots of focus on the landscape, the trees and water. It captures the essence of living there. It really reinforces the fact that even though they don't have a lot of technology they have a wide v…

~Multilingual review, English & Español: Non Non Biyori Repeat~.
The nearest library is away 20 minutes by bike, and a certain popular manga magazine arrives on the shelves Wednesday rather than Monday. The local concept of "market" consists of leaving the merchandise outside in the open air whiteout anyone to look for it, and a normal empty can beside it which main purpose is that of be the "cash register", if we, perhaps, are in search of normal convenient store (kombini) we could find it 40km away, just recently newly opened by the way. People doesn't lock up their houses, the roads aren't paved, there's hardly signal for mobile phones (there are some strategic spots though) and Nature reigns, as an absolute queen, over the entire landscape. The local school is an old building that ema…

Non Non Biyori Repeat returns once more to Renge, Hotaru, Natsumi, and Komari, and their everyday lives in the country side. After watching through all 12 episodes, I can confidently say that this season of Non Non Biyori fully lives up to, and perhaps even surpasses, the quality of its first season. I personally think Non Non Biyori is one of few slice-of-life anime that truly exemplifies the best aspects of the genre. To me, many slice-of-life anime are rather paradoxical, in that the "everyday life" happenings that they are supposed to portray are pushed towards unrealistic for comedic or emotional effect. This makes the show memorable, but it's not what Non Non Biyori relies on. Amid the exaggerated "everyday" occurrences, Non Non Biyori still manages to masterfully convey the beauty a…

Why does it have to end so fast? I enjoyed NNB. :( So here is my review about NNB Repeat.
After watching season 1, i find it enjoyable and fun to watch so i'm expecting season 2 to be better than season one. With season 2 is over, I'm a little disappointed on the story but i still find it enjoyable to watch, well since this is a slice of life genre so there aren't gonna cover a lot of plots or arcs. Also if you notice the name "REPEAT" then you know what i'm talking about. Although the story occur at the same year as season 1, most of the content occur only before and after of the original scene back from season 1. Well though it disappoints me a little but that doesn't stop me from dropping this anime. I'm glad they make the story not too complex or hard for a person to understand what…

When you go about your daily life, what do you normally do? My guess is, you either go to school, work a full shift at your work, or freelance your own kind of work in order to support yourself. Either way, we're always busy doing something and not completely focused on just not doing anything. So, what if we were to peer into a world where all we could do is relax and not think about what comes in the future, but focus of the here and now? With its second season, we have Non Non Biyori Repeat. (Technically this is marked as a side story, but I am still calling this the second season because its synonyms have be considered as a second season.)
Story: If you haven't see Non Non Biyori before (which would be a mistake reading this review cause this is of its second season), basically, the s…

Non Non Biyori Repeat for a lot of people was the anticipated second season to continue the light hearted atmosphere the first season created, but its become more than that. The "Repeat" in the name is a great way to define the sequel (if we can even call it that). If one were to ask about the entire season of Repeat, they'd be given with a new approach to the actual first season. Kind of confusing, yet still genius to redefine what we think of the anime and create a stronger bond between character and audience than before.
The greatest aspect of this is the idea is that if someone hasn't seen the first season of Non Non Biyori, they won't be left out due to the idea of this being an alternative styled season. Though on the other hand, if you've seen the first season, you're given more t…

Non Non Biyori Repeat isn't a direct sequel to Non Non Biyori. As the subtitle "Repeat" may suggest, it begins where the original Non Non Biyori also begins, and ends where Non Non Biyori ended. Think of it more as a "deleted scenes" type deal, where the entirety of the second season takes place in between the events of the first season.
Story - 9/10
Who knew an anime about the average lives of average people living in the Japanese country-side could be so freaking great? Non Non Biyori (I'm just going to call it that since it's essentially the exact same anime as the first season) has an all but nonexistent plot, which at first may seem like it's not a good thing at all. But when you begin to get into Non Non Biyori you realize that having no plot is exactly what makes the anime so charm…

I was waiting the whole entire series just to hear Suguru's voice ): "he doesn't speak much and has very little presence" no shit sir, he doesn't speak at all! Damn it!
Jokes aside, I loved to see this reprise of the series, which is one of my favorite slice of life of all times. The characters are still lovely and cuddly as ever! You just feel like you've reached nirvana while you watch this anime. I seriously would love to move to a small city being again just a child with a simple and fun life as theirs.
Some minimal details that I've missed in this new season are the funny quotes like the first season and a faster pace. Not that calm stories are not as amazing as the fast ones, especially because the pace of Non Non was always quieter and lighter.
I spent a nice time watching it and…
