Hanayamata is my third finished show this week. The cliche of school club mixed with idol group, except instead it's dancing. Even being well aware of all that throughout, still quite enjoyed it. Follows the Love Live trend of start an episode with some comedy, inject a conflict, have a tearful conclusion. Show has pretty visuals and good music, though it kind of has to. Thank Madhouse for that. Part of the reason I picked it from my watchlist was I was trying to get more shows from them, since Sora Yori was the only one so far that I've enjoyed. Also, American main character is interesting. And easy shipping fodder of a show. They make it so easy.
