Takunomi is about 20-year-old Michiru Amatsuki, who moves to Tokyo due to a change of career. She decides to live in a woman-only share house "Stella House Haruno" with three other people.

The first scene depict Michiru arriving at one of tokyo's subway stations, and, while determining which train she needs to take next, one of her bags is snatched but the thief is tripped by Makoto Kiriyama, who happens to be a resident of the place she'll be living, not that either one of them realizes who each other are. This seems a bit pointless, she could of easily just have been there to pick Michiru up. Perhaps they needed a reason not to include her from the majority of the rest of the episode, but then they should of made her absent until her proper introduction later on.

After she gets a little lost, she meets up with Kae Midorikawa who is the owner of Stella House Haruno, she has big boobs to which Michiru says to herself that she "has her work cut out for her" yet this comment makes no sense, apparently the writers forgot that she is a grown woman and therefore she can't obtain any larger boobs than she already has, so it comes off as nothing more than a cheap way to insert a ecchi joke into the scene.

When they arrive home, we are introduced to Nao Kiriyama, who is sleeping on the couch after having drunk a considerate amount of alcohol. Then it's just the ladies drinking for a while, this show offers some advice regarding drinking such as keeping your afternoon drinking to a minimal or how you should eat something soft so as to compliment your hard drink. Also, apparently this can has a pocket dimensions inside of it since the glasses that Nao pours the beer into is simply too large to possibly be able to fill with just one can, which is made even more absurd by how Nao pours glass after glass from the same exact can.

While discussing their jobs, Kae and Nao both seem to be in melancholy about how their work, Nao says some things about how terrible it is, but then she says that she was able to get a glint of hope when the character on the beer bottle she was drinking once spoke to her, though it didn't say anything encouraging, but if that's what makes you happy I guess.
This anime reminds me a lot of Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara, which was another slice of life anime about alcohol. Overall, the characters don't have very much depth and the show doesn't seem to take itself very seriously either. I think slice of life should have a air of sweetness to them, one which this show doesn't provide. But if pure comedy is your thing, then this show will appeal to you. That's it for today, but if you haven't already, please check out my take on Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens. Thank you very much for reading, and have a wonderful day.
