Hanasaku Iroha is a very lovable anime. The characters of this anime are very easy to get attached to. The art is good and in some scenes it can be very beautiful. The story is kind of slow so it would be hard to watch from week to week so I suggest watching this anime in long sitting covering 4 to 5 episodes each time. What I did not like is that there is not much character development, and the things you want to happen to characters don't.
