This anime didn't appear on the to-watch radar until I read the Wildarms recommendation.
And just how interesting can an anime be about three sisters going about their daily life?

After five mins in to the first EP of Minamike, I knew that I was going to enjoy this comedy anime. Theres no complicated story - just daily antics of three very different sisters who are all gorgeous - my fave being the eldest sister Haruka.

Not much more to add other than that the OP and ED music is excellent, animation is very well done and all the girls are cutesome. Just love their uniforms too.
Actually, some of the animation is rather good indeed like the bit where the middle sister Kana runs into their living room - everything freezes while the room spins round Matrix style.
If you enjoy anime then you can do no wrong to give Minamike a test drive. Much recommended. OP and ED below.
Cant wait for the goods n figures to start coming out for this.
Oh,

I picked up this on a lark and boy am I glad I did. After the first two episodes, this has become on of my favorite shows of the season. And Haruka is my fave also. The whole "pan" scene in episode 2 was great

I found the anime to be enjoyable, but am absolutely unimpressed with the OP and ED.  I'd say they're the worst I've seen in a good while in that they're completely uninspiring (in my opinion, of course).  

I think that the manga carries a subtle charm that the anime doesn't quite capture, though.  I think that with a bit of time it might, so I'll wait and see.

This is a funny show, I didn't get to finish doing my review for it today.  I'll probably finish it tomorrow.  One of the Fall animes I probably won't drop.

It's on my watch list, but I haven't gotten to watching it yet. I've had too much other stuff to catch up on. All that's left now though is to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second and I can start following the new season's shows.

It can be hard keeping up on blogging sometimes. :(

I've watched the first episode and I think this is one of the best shows of this kind I've seen so far. I like the teaching the younger one what kissing is about bit, and the disastrous reinterpretaion of the love letter...

the 3 sisters' names are associated with the 4 seasons.

Haruka = Sping
Kana = Summer
Chiaki = Autumn 

guess if they have another sister she will be Winter. ^^

Yea I saw this before but didn't know if I would like it. If your looking for the fansub be sure to look for "Minami-ke" when doing your searches. All of the episodes indexed at animetreehouse.com are spelled with "Minami-ke". There are 5 fansub groups doing this anime and they all spell it the same way. I'm going to go ahead and get the first episode and try it out. Leave it to Danny to weed through the massive anime jungle! Ha!

Gawd, I love this show! Just posted an entry on my blog about it.

I especially loved the part where Kana was chasing Chiaki all over the place.  I do that to my cousin's cousin, who happens to be the youngest amongst them.
