Wow, what an experience, why does this have to end? I'm so sad. This anime pictures countryside so well, idk about the realism but it really makes you want to at least visit. Children innocence, peaceful daily life, interesting mc back story and goals, and light hearted comedy, feels like a soothing remedy for a weary soul.
I think naru is the mvp in the story, her playful character and funny voice acting are perfect. But of course other characters matter too. Now that I think about it, the writing and the development of the characters are really well made too. They are not just "supporting" characters, they are the people of the village. Naru, hina, baldy and friends, tama, miwa, akki, hiro, kawafuji, that apprentice that idolize handa, grandpa, store clerk, her dog, miwa's dad, school vice principal who always go fishing, village chief and his wife, handa's mom and dad, director,
10/10. I'll forever miss watching this anime for the first time.
9/12 episode watched with jp subs, rest with eng. marks the day I postpone japanese learning (again)
