Locodol - Episode 13 [OAV][END]



The Awa Awa Girls come to visit the Nagarekawa Girls. They show the more famous locodols their town is more than water and greenery. The season ends with the Nagarekawa Girls promising to repay the warm-hearted townspeople with their efforts.

Heh.

Hey, those weren't little kids playing in the river! Yui and Mirai are short, we get it...

Nanako's Mom appears to believe in the red string of fate too in letting Yukari come and wake up her daughter. Fu fu fu.

Not going to lie: I laughed real hard when Nanako was about to drop her phone and Yui caught it. Short folks and river banks for the win!

Those disguises aren't fooling anyone, Awa Awa Girls. Too bad the Nagarekawa people, well, the kids and old people, only have eyes for their own local idols.

Nanako: we've got water... and greenery... and... food!

It's a rare day when the Nagarekawa Girls don't have some kind of gig, but it's because all their costumes and Uogokoro-kun are being washed and serviced. Yui thinks it's time for Uogokoro-kun Mark 3.



Uh, no.

The Awa Awa Girls are ruthless!



Nanako is still shocked at seeing Tanucake Massacres.

Going to the new indoor pool means wearing swimsuits. The Nagarekawa Girls' stalker manager Saori comes prepared.



Saori also had the most hilarious shriek of surprise and guilt at being accused of making cosplay outfits. She would never!.. admit that.

For locodols who are actually national idols, the Awa Awa Girls sure know a lot about their own town, and what it doesn't have. Of course we get to learn that as they bounce a beach ball around. This is an OAV, not just Episode 13, after all.

Yes, very bouncy.

We still had one screen wipe.



The eye catch brought us back to the basics.



Nanako x Yukari 4ever! Is that how the kids say it these days?

Hmm.

This little show about cute girls doing cute things was over too quick, but the end card teases us with the possibilities of future seasons.



Cute outfits! Twin Drill Yukari hair! More concerts! Two nekomimi (cat ears) Uogokoro-kuns! Please make this happen. Soon!



Final Thoughts.

I actually had to catch up on this show, because I looked at the premise and thought, "meh." But the first episode hooked me in with a girl who's easily tricked by her uncle, but keeps her promises, and an almost perfect blonde young lady who just found her best friend. Add in Yui as Uogokoro-kun, and I discovered my "healing anime" slice of life show for the Summer. The girls were cute, the plot was just serious enough to leave a lot of room for jokes based on the loveable characters, and everyone was nice, with being just a bit too competitive being the only negative character trait, but even that was just played for laughs. A neat little show which captured the love of one's hometown. This was the overlooked comedy gem of the Summer season. I already miss these cute girls doing their cute things.
