Given that thos show was one of the first "Slice of Life - Moe" anikes that I have watched this does have a soft spot in my heart. That being said beyond personal bias this show doesn't stand out in comparison to other animes of its type.
That is not to say that others won't find any enjoyment in this show but in a sea of other animes to watch I wouldn't put it past people to skip out on this one.
For starters the story itself isn't anything to ride home about and for a slice of life show there's even more pressure to give the viewers something worth watching. Unfortunately there isn't anything noteworthy about this series that hasn't already been explored before in other shows. It's not bad just typical.
The characters themselves at least try to have something that stands out to them.…

Sansha Sanyou is an amusing slice-of-life comedy, revolving around Odagiri (the genki glutton), Hayama (a slightly sociopathic animal-lover), and Nishikawa (the former Ojousama).
It has a very pure anime categorization:
- Moe: present (due to Nishikawa)
- Comedy: good
- Drama: nearly none
- Action: none
- Romance: none
- Harem: none
- Ecchi: none This is a simple show (thus deserving a simple review). The art style and sound are pretty standard, but not at all bad. It reminded me most of Yuru Yuri, but less over-the-top and with ever-so-slightly more character progression. It's main goal is to make you laugh, and (at least for me) it achieves it. Nishikawa's laid-off maid and butler are both very quirky and funny; their antics were among my favourite parts, honestly.
The best part, in m…

From Doga Kobo's other works it's easy to see that a series doesn't need to excel in any particular area to be enjoyable. I think the series that most exemplifies this would be Sansha Sanyou. The plot isn't particularly interesting, the art and animation are good but not the shining example of their work, the characters fall into archetypes and can be copy/pasted from any other CGDCT series, and the series doesn't stand out in any way.
Despite these factors, I found several moments in Sansha Sanyou to be really enjoyable with the ways it explores its character interactions and while not necessarily memorable, it entertained and held my attention.
Story 6/10:
We begin with our protagonist Youko (referred to often as Miss Youko) eating her bread crusts by herself at lunch. Youko isn't just…

Well, it's just like any other cute girls doing cute things anime. However, unlike some of the bad ones, it is interesting enough to not feel that bored while watching. However, it doesn't bring much else to the table, it's just a show that classifies as worthy of wasting your time with. It's truly nothing special at all.
The characters are pretty likable, I was especially fond of the rich-turned-poor girl, the servant and the maid. The girl that was kinda dark on the inside was interesting as well. If I had to say something though, it's that I really didn't like the sister of the blonde girl who is clueless and has the super cliché "cooks toxic waste out of anything" trait. She was still bearable though compared to some other characters. I absolutely hated the glutton futaba and I hated…

Sansha Sanyou, or Three Leaves, Three Colors for the English title... is one of the least-exciting premises for a slice-of-life cute-girls-doing-cute-things anime ever; it's about a former rich girl who meets two friends, and the shenanigans that ensue with trying to integrate her adaptation into a low-class lifestyle with an lifetime of wealth and uppityness. It's so standard that when I originally went over the season preview it premiered in a few years ago, my eyes probably glazed over and ignored it completely.
But somehow, it works.
I think it's the characters that really do it here. You have a pretty stock standard "genki girl" in Odagiri Futaba, but she's so over-the-top with her love for food that her one-note role becomes incredibly endearing. Besides her, the rest of the main c…

Most people pass this show off as another "cute girls doing cute things show", and I have to disagree there. It certainly comes across that way initially, but these characters are doing more than "being cute". This is a pure comedy, that happens to star (mostly) females. This is still the funniest anime I have seen.
What makes this show so funny? It goes against typical anime humor, the over-the-top reactions, the physical comedy. Instead, it focuses on comedic timing, and characters being funny in a more sitcom style. And it does it so well. But it also couldn't do it without interesting characters, and that's the other place this show shines. The main cast breaks stereotypes and remain interesting throughout the series.
Story: A true slice of life show, there is no progressing story. C…

YOU CAN JUST READ THE FIRST PARAGRAPH AND THE LAST ONE.
For those who are curious in this series, I would say this anime is not worthy to spend your precious time unless you currently don’t have an idea what anime that you want to watch.
Now, I’ll going to explain why I stand for that statement.
Story
There is no story in this anime. The only plot in this anime is some daily events. However, I’m not saying that these events are boring. They are indeed interesting. That is the reason I would give it 7 in the field of enjoyment.
Art
People are not looking for something outstanding art performance in this kind of anime. Some details are handle well while a few of them are not. It’s normal and not impressive neither on the positive side nor Nagative one. However, there is still somethi…

the interpretation of art will differ from one to another. to be honest if Sansha Sanyou/SS were presented any more serious(ly) i would not be here writing this review.
first things first-
there are no real plots;
aside from character development by acknowledging each other developed later on, the main focus are the three characters' perceptions and their SOLE reactions.
I am not a big slice of life fan but if i understood SS correctly, SS meant to reflect our own lives through comparison of the anime itself. this is interesting because most of us fail to appreciate the life we been living in.
one second let me get requirements out of way
story - none
art - B+
sound - okish
character - very well developed and crafted
enjoyment - very
overall - one of the better shows

As a Slice-Of-Life anime, you should know that this series would almost have no plot to it. Sansha Sanyou mainly focuses on the school life of three girls, so expect that you'd be watching an anime that heavily depends on the characters' personalities.
In that matter, I'd say that I enjoyed it very much! The characters have absolutely different personalities which makes all of them interesting, and I love the way how the characters were exhibited throughout the series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No issues with the art. I like MOE as much as most people do. No issues with the sound and music either (in fact, I enjoyed listening to both the opening and the ending songs).
Also: Points for the Ojou-san (not so Ojou-san) character…

Story: 3/10
Since this is a slice of life, there is little to no story. Especially with animes like this, where it's main cast is girls, they do random things and you never know what to expect. But that's what I was expecting from this kind of anime, so I'm fine with it.
Art: 9/10
The art is really nice. The vibrant colors of the main character's hair makes them stand out and the backgrounds look good. Plus the art style is really nice for this genre, and when there are funny parts, they know how to do the face expressions well. xD
Sound: 10/10
Nothing wrong with the sound I saw. The voice actors fit their characters great, so no problems here.
Character: 7/10
The characters aren't anything special, but I enjoyed them a lot. Some characters are cliche, like Futaba in the way that she's…

There's just something about "cute girls doing cute things" that keeps dragging me back every season. I know it's overdone and I sometimes want to avoid the genre but I can use Sansha Sanyou as an example of why it keeps dragging me back every season.
[Story]
There's basically no difference between this show compared to hundreds of moe shows out there. If you ask me why I keep watching shows like this, the only answer I would give to you is "I have no idea. I just enjoy the slice of life, cute girls doing cute things show".
This show is focused on three very different high school girls but they share one similar thing: the kanji for "leaf" in their names, hence the title "Three Leaves, Three Colors". That's about it. The show has no story and it's just your typical girls goofing aroun…

This anime was adapted from manga that aired since 2003 and now isn't finished,.This anime could have more audience if it aired earlier between 3-4 years ago.It because this anime have boring spice : moe-comedy-slice of life-school, and now we have much with it.
The story isn't have any special because it have SoL-school genre and combine with comedy.It not have plot just like mosly 4-koma manga adaptation.We'll just get each character interaction every day and when any special event happen like valentine,chrismas,summer,etc.It may be boring for some people(5/10)[5,3]
The Art is beautiful like modern anime art now and what make it special is detailed art at colouring the background and characters.Background and characters has draw very detail too.that expected from the studio(9/10)[8,6],…

Sansha Sanyou started as a four panel manga series by Cherry Arai. Just this year it received an anime adaptation by Doga Kobo, the same studio behind Yuru Yuri. Yeah, this is a pretty recent one, having ended at the end of June. Is it as strong as Yuru Yuri or is this the first negative review I'll be doing of something Doga Kobo worked on. Of course, I have only reviewed series of Yuru Yuri from them, so I'm not exactly looking at a long and proud tradition that could be broken here. Either way, let's take a look.
Story:
We open with Nishikawa Youko, a former rich girl who's ostracised because she still has a rich girl's sense of comportment in spite of her family having lost its money, is sitting outside for her lunch of bread crusts when two other girls, Odagiri Futaba & Hayama Teru,…

This season, I had only planned to watch Sailor Moon Crystal and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. But a couple of other shows, this one, Shounen Maid, and a few others, caught my attention, and I wound up trying them out. I'm glad to say, they all turned out good, Sansha Sanyou being one such show. Let's face it, the slice-of-life genre nowadays mostly consists of creators trying to make girls come off as unrealistically cute and moe as possible, complete with squeaky voices, ridiculous storylines, pandering, etc. Granted, not all shows are like this, but otakus have become the primary consumers in Japan when it comes to anime, so from a business perspective, usually businesses go for what they know the audience will consume, whether they put out poor quality products or not. Sansha Sanyou de…

If you're looking for a lighthearted moe slice of life, Sansha Sanyou is totally worth a try!
This anime is focused on Yoko, a rich girl that suddenly became poor after his father's business went bankrupt, now she lives alone and goes to a normal school, but her way to be after all that years makes her have a hard time making friends.
Thankfully, she meets Odagiri Futaba, an active girl that eats a lot, and Teru Hayama, a girl that looks really calm but is actually pretty scary when she wants, and soon after they become friends.
This is Sansha Sanyou, a calm and funny slice of life anime based on their daily lives.
The animation, as expected from Doga Kobo, is simply fantastic, all the characters and backgrounds are great, with some specific points being just eye candy of how smooth th…

Moe, the current theme of anime. For many years now, the flow of anime has been consistently following the 'cute girl' trend and creating a vast amount of shows involving cute-looking high school girls and just following their daily lives. It has become to the point that expecting at least a few of these kinds of shows every new season is routine and that the market has become so saturated with these kinds of shows that it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between one show from another. So here, we have Sansha Sanyou, Three Leaves, Three Colors, and Three times the reasons why this show doesn't do anything but fall into that category of being forgettable.
Story: Nisikawa Youko is a rich girl who has fallen from grace. Due to her father's company going down under, she is no longer th…
