I really like the atmosphere of this series, and it seems like it will be a nice slice of life series. I was also slightly reminded of Spice and Wolf by the trailer. What do you guys think?

Just finished the first episode, and I am very surprised. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, and how well the culture clash aspect of the show was portrayed. By the end of the episode, my eyes were glistening, just because of how sweet this show is. I love it.
Though, to be honest, it'll probably be boring for a lot of viewers, depending on their taste.

Yune shall be the primary dispenser of HHHNNNGGG for this season, I'd wager- succeeding Touwa Erio from the spring season.
Just gave the first episode a watch. Top-notch in the visual department in both art and animation. Music wasn't particularly memorable, but it does the job. The culture clash was very well portrayed, but it could have been improved were they to actually have the people speak French, as the narrator has.
Anyways, this looks quite promising.
I look forward to more.

Yune is definitely Hnnng and Dawwww-worthy.
Everything was done pretty well, although the language-barrier thing was a bit confusing, as everyone was "speaking" Japanese. Guess I'll be keeping an eye on this series for this season.

They actually want the viewers to understand the language themselves, without having to read subtitles (just like we have to). It's a similar occurrence to what happened in Zero; both speaking the same language, but not understanding each other. It's just a triple trip for us; as we know they're speaking French or Japanese, but we also are reading English. But, I'm glad to see that that confusion was dealt with in a relatively quick manner.
Now, onto my thoughts on the first episode.

Not bad. This one was very enjoyable and finally a lanugage I can understand clearly, French! Too bad the whole thing was not in French, lol.

Agreed on Yune. Although the language was confusing, but simple. They were speaking French (even though it was Japanese) and she was speaking Japanese...even though she could understand French, lol.

Looky-tan
Got Megane?
Didn't know what I was getting into really, I soon realized this was going to be a show with a cute loli and many "Hnnng's". I have no idea where this series is going though, is this just going to be random kinda plot/flow or is there something bigger here that I don't know about? Regardless this show is on my watching list now ^_^.

Just watched episode 2.
Yune is still a powerful contender for being the cutest thing ever.
Not too much of note this time 'round (as is to be expected of this kind of show), but the introduction of the new Department Store and the Blanche family (along with the blonde Ojou-sama glimpsed in the preview) tells me that they'll be coming in very soon.

So yeah just finished episode 2, I don't know why I find this anime to be sooooo good, it's not like anything interesting is really happening, but all the same it's definitely one of my favorites so far this season. Also I would like to say I find this show to be extremely classy, don't know why, maybe it's because they're all French.

so i just picked up this series since i accidentally saw the 2nd episode on Chiba TV at 0.30ish yesterday because i've decided to watch Nichijou live too.at first i wasn't interested but i was wrong at my own judgement.
i gotta say,even though i haven't read the manga (just judging from the small artwork,it got really beautiful art) butjust from watching it,it captivates me.
beautiful art,story and relaxing atmosphere that quickly reminds me of Aria because it kinda feels that way to me.
just watched it again from 1st episode and repeat the 2nd episode again to fill what i missed at the first time i saw it.can't wait for next week.
