In her last year of middle school, Fuu Sawatari had trouble dealing with her emotions following the sudden death of her father. Through the help of her brother and childhood friend, she rediscovered her love for photography, an activity she and her father often did together. In addition, she decided to attend high school in Takehara, her father's hometown and a place they often visited when she was younger.
It has been one month now since Fuu moved to Takehara and became close with her current group of friends: carefree Kaoru Hanawa, excitable Norie Okazaki, and quiet Maon Sakurada. Together with them and several acquaintances around town and abroad, Fuu continues her mission of capturing the joys of everyday life using her father's camera, while also helping her friends discover their own passions.

Dreams. Small or big, simple or far-fetched, related to hobbies, future job or just dreams of making friends. Almost everyone have dreamt of something at least once. Tamayura is an anime about chasing these dreams. And no, not about huge triumphs. It's about achieving small successes and enjoying them. First of all, if you: a) automatically mark every anime similar to K-On! as moeblob crap, without even bothering about things like story or characters; b) don't like slow-paced shows that, unlike mentioned above K-On!, mainly focus on drama than on comedy; just give up already. You will not like Tamayura either. Tamayura ~Hitotose~ is a sequel to OVAs (which takeplace in between 1st and 2nd Hitotose episodes on the timeline, however) and should be watched after them. Otherwise you'll not recognise some gags, and start without knowing most of main cast.
Story - 8/10
Tamayura is, just as the MAL description for OVAs says, some kind of "healing anime". It makes viewers be able to unwind a bit. The main plot is very simple. It resolves around a girl, Fu, who's interested in photography. It's somehow similar to Aria in many aspects (not to mention they share the same director).
However, unlike Aria, which shows an idealised vision of future, Tamayura takes place in our times. It doesn't show how the world could be beautiful, but how it actually is.
Also, in contrast to other shows focusing on everyday life of groups of friends (eg. A-Channel, Yuru Yuri, Lucky Star, Kimi to Boku or mentioned above: K-On! and Aria) Tamayura: Hitotose doesn't contain any completely filler episodes, which don't advance the story at all. Almost every single one either develop characters a bit or shows some of the backstory, which explains their current behaviours. The OVAs didn't have so well-thought story, so it's already the first thing, that shows that Hitotose is better.
Nevertheless, even through everything seem to form a coherent whole, the show is still episodic and not really ambitious in comparison to more complex stories we can see in other series.
Characters - 9/10
Characters are definitely strong point of Tamayura ~Hitotose~. Like I've already stated before, they are somehow developed in almost every single episode. Their backstories are very well-presented, too. As the characters develop, we can also see that they have more depth than it was shown in OVAs.
Every girl has a bit different personality and different interests as well. Yes, different hobbies. You won't see anything like light music clubs or gondola companies here. Photography could be the core of story here, like mahjong in Saki or drawing in Hidamari Sketch. However, not focusing on only one thing makes Tamayura somewhat more universal.
These two things also makes them seem more realistic. Probably no one wonders why Azusa Nakano started to play guitar, or why Akari Mizunashi decided to become undine in Neo Venezia, leaving her family behind on another planet. Such information usually aren't considered as important, but in fact they are essential for the most of the story to take place. And they are provided in Tamayura.
Art & Sound - 10/10
As far as I'm concerned, only average thing here is design of characters. Sceneries are really wonderful, they just make you want to take a photo of them (oh, well, you can still take a screenshot).
Taking into account, that the production hasn't very high budget and its studio is almost unknown, backgrounds in urban areas have really many details such as irregular bricks in the old pavement. So do many objects such as Fu's camera.
The animation is fine, however unlike in fantasy or shounen shows, in slice of life anime it isn't something you pay much attention to.
Music fits very well, at least if you don't find singing in BGM annoying. The opening and ending both fit in climate of the series, whereas the second one is quite meaningful, especially if you connect lyrics, story of Tamayura and photos shown in it.
Enjoyment and Other Aspects - 7/10
The sole purpose of this series is to relax viewers, allow them to chill out after rough day and forget about the shadows of everyday life. In this aspect, Tamayura is almost perfect - it has calm slow-paced story, sympathetic characters and pretty sceneries, it also has some kind of 'warm feeling'. OVAs, with duration of only 2 regular anime episodes couldn't do that better than TV series, cause there wasn't enough of them and viewer, who happened to like it, was left with deficiency, wanting for more.
It also has an ability to show how beautiful the world is. For me, who lives in industrial region, chimneys of factories, power plants or ironworks don't seem to beautify the surroundings. Nah, it even makes everything uglier. Therefore, it was quite shocking for me, when Noire and Maon looked at a red-and-white-painted factory chimney and said that it was... beautiful. It made me come to conclusion, that maybe they really aren't that bad as I always thought. It forces to think, if it is Tamayura's reality being idealized, or is it just our view of the real world as something vile, foul.
It is also really good, that they resigned from needless fanservice that appeared once in OVAs. In my book, such series shouldn't have any, really.
It seems everything is fine, but... you wonder, why I gave enjoyment only seven points of ten? Well... Despite all the relaxation and manifestation of world's beauty, the humour in this series is just average. In combination with really slow-paced story the whole thing can be really boring for everyone, who is expecting comedy, action, or just isn't in mood to watch something like that. Enough boring to quickly give up on it.
Final thoughts:
Tamayura is an anime about the world around us. However, it shows everything around in way more positive, yet gentle way. If you are in mood to spend your fabulous time on watching something peaceful and optimistic, something without overcomplicated story, deaths, sex or shocking plot twists, I can highly recommend Tamayura to you.
Final grade: (8+9+10+7)/4 = 8.5 => 9 of 10

There's a few different types of anime. There's anime that's written to excite, and there's also animes that bring out laughter. And then, there's animes like Aria the Animation (and it's sequels) and Tamayura: Hitotose, where there is only one purpose behind it - to make the viewer smile, and to bring joy to their hearts. I suppose Tamayura, is an anime that you could call heartwarming, and there's no doubt that that's quite the fitting descriptor. Because it really, really is quite heartwarming indeed. Watching Tamayura, brought me so much joy and warmth that no shounen or seinen anime has ever brought me. Ican’t even begin to describe the warmth that Tamayura poured into me through it’s telling of the stories of a group of friends.
That being said, because Tamayura really is, when you boil it down, a slice-of-life anime, it really isn’t for everybody. If you like your anime girls clad in armor wielding legendary swords and fighting epic assassins and overthrowing evil families, Tamayura is probably not for you. If you like animes where every single episode is a cliffhanger, and you’re absolutely dying to see what happens to the kid ninja next, this anime’s probably not for you. But, if you like to enjoy the stories of the lives of four high school girls, and like to enjoy an anime where you can relax and plaster all your worries away, then absolutely watch this anime.
Because realistically, that’s all Tamayura was meant for. It wasn’t meant to be a massive blockbuster in the anime world, it wasn’t meant to be an adaptation of some famous manga, no, not at all. In fact, I’m pretty sure (no, I’m absolutely sure) that Tamayura: Hitotose, was written for the sole purpose of helping people find good in life. It seems like the entire anime as a whole, constantly aims to show people the positive sides of life, and fill their hearts with warmth as they display possibly the most positive of emotions only to be bested by the final season of Aria.
In that sense, there really is no plot - there is no suspense, no rising action, no climax, no finale, there really is only daily life, a daily life that’s filled with the joy and happiness of four high school girls. In fact, the development of said girls, is probably the greatest achievement if Tamayura: Hitotose. The wonderfully told story of Fuu and her friends, as well as her photographic past, was not only heartwarming, but extremely motivating. Actually, I’m sure that's exactly what Junichi Sato aimed to create - an anime that fills people with joy, hope, and motivation, just like his previous creations, namely Aria the Animation and it’s sequels. Of course, having watched both, it was pretty easy to draw parallels in style. Both animes, have this incredibly peaceful feel that nothing else can replicate. It seems like I could just wash my worries away and immerse myself in the world of Fuu and her friends forever, and remove all the weight off my shoulders.
Unfortunately though, since I watched Aria, I can also see why Tamayura is not as good as Aria. The reason why I brought Aria up, even knowing that reviews should not include other animes, is because it proves my point very well. The place that's “lacking” per se, in Tamayura, is it’s setting. Obviously, a quiet town definitely fits Tamayura very well, but the problem with this is, is that it narrows the audience, as it makes the anime “less interesting” for a certain demographic. But, this goes both ways. Personally, I wouldn’t have changed a thing - while the setting may have been monotonous, and slightly boring, I found that not only did it fit the anime quite well, the way it was described painted a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere, something perfect for Tamayura. On the other hand, having such a normal setting means that the anime has to rely on it’s other aspects to make it interesting - and daily life like the one seen in Tamayura, isn’t always the best medium of choice when trying to create a great anime.
Of course, if I had to name one thing every decent anime needs, is great animation. And Tamayura has good animation. Although not as artsy and incredible as Aria, Tamayura has that modern, smooth, and flowing animation that also comes off as quite peaceful. Of course, like the setting, it’s also quite normal. Which personally, I liked.
The same goes for this series - I quite enjoyed it. It filled me with a soft, warm happiness that no other anime, save for Aria, gave me. To me, it was the anime that I would sit down and truthfully enjoy, no matter what happened to me that day, Tamayura would still have made me smile. And it did, quite often.
So, thank you, Junichi Sato, for putting a smile on my face. Thank you, for an anime that gave me a warm happiness that seems to be easily forgotten in this fast-paced, action-packed world.
I’ll definitely look forward to Tamayura: More Aggressive.

In Kino's Journey, it is said that the world is not beautiful, which is actually said to be a reason why the world can, in fact, be considered beautiful. Tamayura is a stunningly emotional tale of a girl finding beauty in what had been the source of her sorrow before: photography. Reminded by the loss of her father, she distances herself from his former favorite activity and struggles to cope with the situation she was suddenly forced into. Tamayura sets off when she finally succeeded in accepting reality and regaining her vitality, which allows her to dive into the memories she has been keeping buried foryears. By deciding to pick up photography by herself, she enters a journey to discovering the background of her late father's passion towards making photographs to understand more about him and the emotional value of keeping mementos.
This short synopsis already brings me close to tears. The premise sounds perfect for a highly emotional ride, but what you get was, unfortunately, not elaborated in detail. Tamayura is a 'high slice of life' series, meaning it is almost episodic and doesn't follow a decent story. In contrast to Aria, Tamayura lacks a firmly set goal, and the episodes just float by, so to speak, which is ultimately the reason there is much unused potential in terms of storytelling.
Impressively enough that Tamayura excels in 'floating by', creating a wonderfully soothing and peaceful atmosphere that is well known from the Aria franchise. Instead of integrating plot elements with high depth that encourage the viewer to think and reflect, this show focuses on depicting peacefulness and harmony with every detail it comes with. In the same manner, emotional, mostly beautiful scenes just 'float by' and add some intensity to the entire thing, which is otherwise defined by more or less random slice of life plotlets.
Although the synopsis literally cries out for character development, only traces of it can be found in Tamayura. The character development can be summarized as the process of bonding with friends and becoming more mentally stable throughout the show while discovering happiness. And this applies to all the main characters there are, namely the heroine Fuu and her close friends. It totally makes sense, in my opinion, that an atmosphere-oriented show rarely offers in-depth characters, and I don't consider this a weakness of Tamayura at all. That, what is important in this case, is the credibility of the characters' personalities, which is absolutely present in this show. Both the main characters as well the side characters provide a very consistent personality with authentic attitudes. This luckily outshines the sometimes rather clichéd dialogues.
Those who know Aria are well aware of how much the soundtrack contributes to the peaceful atmosphere that was aimed for with Tamayura as well. The background music turned out as beautiful as the atmosphere created by the characters, thus implying a high fit between the content and the technical dimension. The opening song by Maaya Sakamoto is an excellent addition to that and gets the viewer in the right mood for what is to follow. A noticeable disappointment, however, is the considerable amount of unused potential regarding sceneries and landscapes. A show that focuses on beauty (esp. in nature) would be wise to emphasize this aspect by delivering more impressive images/drawings to enhance the emotional impact. Aria did this masterfully, but that was primarily thanks to a more creative sci-fi setting.
Once again, the director of the Aria franchise has shown his qualities in creating an immersive experience that is defined by shallowness, peacefulness, harmony, and beauty. It absolutely meets my taste, although I would have wished for a decent storyline adding to Tamayura's density of emotional substance. If you are the type for hardly demanding and calming anime, Tamayura can be highly recommended.
Rating: 8.13/10

Sure, I have enjoyed and laughed during a lot of other series much more so than Tamayura: Hitotose but I've never felt compelled to write a review for any other anime. Tamayura: Hitotose is best described as "special" it was so heartwarming and pleasant without being sappy or abnormally tragic. The feelings and emotions were so relateable, even for someone much older than the characters themselves. The story progressed at a nice pace, the soundtrack matched well, and I loved the art. Each character was distinct and memorable in their own right, I changed favorites every week! Also, I want to live in thattown! It seems like such a wonderful place and the art captured the natural beauty so well, I want to see it in person. Now that I have watched the anime I definitely have to read the manga.I'm really impressed with this anime overall and it is one of the best representations of the "slice of life" genre I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

Even though I began to watch a few anime since 5 or 6, but I only began to watch a lot of anime in 2011. I thought that most anime were mainly focusing on action and violence, but then...I saw a trailer on a video about Tamayura: Hitotose. I was really curious, since I see no violence or anything in the trailer, then I realized that there are more anime genres than I thought. Tamayura: Hitotose is actually the very first slice of life anime I've ever watched. I was really glad that I watched it. I never have realized, that even a slow-paced animelike this one, can be so well-executed.
----Story----
The story is really simple, easy to understand and has no complexity. It's mainly about a girl named Fu Sawatari, who likes photography and likes to spend her time with her best friends - Kaoru, Norie and Maon (and Chihiro, who Fu said farewell to in episode 1, before she moved back to where her late father used to live). She loves taking pictures of whatever she sees using her late father's camera. The story may seem boring to some people, but since there are a lot of meaning behind each photo that Fu (and her late father) took, it makes the show kind of stands out from many other anime. I like anime with great themes and this one really did a good job on it. It shows how a photo can hold so many memories, and how a photo can display what a person loves in life. Episode 1 may be boring for some people. But for me, I actually stayed watching to the end without asking myself ''How long is it left?''. Chihiro may seem annoying, as she is a crybaby. But I eventually don't mind about it anymore, since her crying is a symbol of how she cares about Fu. Chihiro doesn't want Fu to get too upset about the death of her father, so she usually does the crying for her. A great bond of friendship here, which made me want to watch this anime further, as I like anime where there is a great bond in friendship.
----Art----
I've nothing to say about the art. It's really well drawn and good quality.
----Sound----
Sound is excellent. The voices of each character are suited to their age. Opening and ending themes are excellent as well and suited to a slice of life anime.
----Character----
The characters in this anime are well developed. Each character eventually became more mature and began to wonder what they'll do in life. Kaoru became more confident on what she is about to do in the future. Maon is no longer a shy girl and began to talk more near the end of the anime instead of whistling a lot. Fu overcame the sadness of her father's death and decided to continue with photography. Norie may seem to be annoying due to her energetic nature, but her caring side was shown in some episodes, which made her a less annoying character.
----Enjoyment----
I really enjoyed this series. I recommend this series to people who like slow-paced anime. This anime is a healing anime, so there are no conflicts (like war etc.). It leaves you with a very relaxed and positive feeling in the end of the anime. However, those who like action, or fast-paced anime, then better stay away from this anime.

Tamayura changed my life, I saw many Slice Of Lifes but Tamayura moved me so much to the point of crying in each episode, its Soundtrack is so beautiful, masterpieces, the landscapes, the group of girls, Fuu with her passion for photography and how highlights that concept, it is stupendously beautiful, an anime worth watching if you like the Slice Of Life/Iyashikei genre. I watched all its seasons, its movies are beautiful, unforgettable anime, it is incredible what Tamayura can transmit, thanks to Tamayura it gave me the desire and reasons to travel to Takehara but there is no money, and if I had it,I would not hesitate to go , the festivals in Tamayura are super beautiful, their Openings/Endings are catchy. Masterpiece.
Tamayura me cambio la vida, vi muchos Slice Of Lifes pero Tamayura me conmovió tanto al punto de llorar en cada episodio, sus Soundtrack son tan bellos, obras maestras, los paisajes, el grupo de chicas, Fuu con su pasión por la fotografía y como remarca ese concepto, es estupendamente hermoso, anime que vale la pena ver si te gusta el género Slice Of Life/Iyashikei. Me vi todas sus temporadas, sus películas son bellísimas, anime inolvidable, es increíble lo que puede llegar a transmitir Tamayura, gracias a Tamayura me dieron ganas y razones para viajar a Takehara pero no hay dinero, que si lo tuviera, no dudaría en ir, los festivales en Tamayura es súper hermoso, sus Openings/Endings son pegadizos. Obra maestra.

What I love about this anime is how strongly Fū loves photography. I actually came to love photography viewing this... The characters are pretty well established throughout the series: Fu is sweet, considerate, slightly airheaded and cute, Norie is excitable, extremely energetic (but loses the energy quickly) and is a amazing cook. Kaoru has been proven to be reliable, levelheaded and has quite a unique sense of smell. Typical girl Maon is gentle, quiet (as in, so quiet, she rarely speaks but whistles) a wonderful writer and overall loveable in every aspect. Junichi Satō must've had plenty of fun creating them... The music is calming, refreshing andfits the show like a glove. "Okaerinasai", Hitotose's opening is the pinacle of gentle breezes and a warm welcome to the town of Takahara, where Fū lives. Personally my favorite is "Natsudori" by Megumi Nakajima. Ah, the feels.
Art is okay. I'm personally not a fan of big eyed girls, but I am pleased that Kaoru has a ponytail, something with I am very fond of. Okay...sorry, I'm weird. The simplistic style however, also contributes to the slowness and warmth of the show. At least I think so...
In my opinion, this show is one that needs to be watched quite slowly, a fact which I am sure most people say also. Yes, in fact, a several week interval is just about right. However, if you were like me, foolish, unexpecting, not-thinking and rushing, you can also watch it in one day...though it may take your enjoyment out of the show.
Overall, I chose a 9 because even with the imperfect art, storyline and what not, Junichi Satō definitely put his heart into working this story..and I can feel it. Certainly an underrated show, and needs more recognition. If you need a warm blanket of feels in the anime world, maybe this is your invitation.

たまゆら ~ Tamayura: Hitotose - is a beautiful slice of life and a charming healing anime, that captivates with a well done composition of visuals and music, that creates an appealing atmosphere. The genre of so-called Iyashikei is still small, but already includes some very popular titles such as Aria, Tamago Market or Natsume Yuujinchou. Story: wholesomely relaxed, good pacing, episodic and simple, but thoughtful and without filler (8/10). The introduction is moving. It reveals the heroine's grief when she finds her father's old Rollei camera. The anime's beautiful and charming subtlety lies in its ability to convey deep emotions while still gently communicating life experiences. Weaccompany the protagonist, Fuu Sawatari, on her journey to come to terms with her individual repressed memories and feelings, as well as the daily difficulties and challenges of her everyday life. We follow her decision to share her father's passion for photography and the peaceful, charming hometown where she finds new friends. The small town of "Takehara" is real, by the way, and is located in Hiroshima Prefecture, right on the Seto Inland Sea.
Characters: Lovable, but not fully realised potential (7/10).
All lovingly described, but not always with the depth that could have been possible. A nice contrast to other representatives of this genre like Hidamari Sketch, where all characters share the same interests, each member of Tamayura Hitotose's small clique has a different interest and personality.
Sawatari Fuu:
Her good heart and kindness will quickly grow on you. At first, she seems a little reserved, but she soon begins to grow and develop. Her slightly clumsy and quirky nature makes her character even sweeter and more lovable.
Hanawa Kaoru:
Always keeping an eye out for the odd misfortune, she is like a big sister to Fuu. She sometimes laughs heartily at Fuu's clumsiness, as is usual in such a relationship.
Sakurada Maon:
In nature, she is very similar to Fuu in shyness, but with a lot of heart. Maon has the charming and witty uniqueness of whistling her answers instead of speaking.
Okazaki-Norie:
Funny, spontaneous and impulsive, Norie is the energetic counterpart. Her character is often misunderstood by critics, as her lively nature is a complete contrast to the other characters. It should be noted that something would be missing without her, and not just the ability to articulate Maon's whistle language.
The supporting characters also have coherent personalities and authentic attitudes. As a result, the cast as a whole is able to create a believable overall picture of the individual personalities through interaction.
Visuals: Beautiful, charming, unfortunately with a bit of unused potential (7/10).
The character design is a little overdone, but still beautiful and adorable for this type of anime, and therefore fits well overall. Tamayura bears the signature of Satô Junichi, so the parallel to the anime Aria comes as no surprise. The moods of the individual episodes are conveyed well. The surrounding landscape has something picturesque about it, in the truest sense of the word. The animation is nice to look at, but you get the impression, probably due to the tight budget, that more potential could have been exploited in this aspect. I don't think this is a major flaw, because despite the low budget, a lot of details have been put into the pictures. For example, Fuu's camera, which has the smallest of details, or the landscape, in which irregularities such as differences in colour, cracks in the brickwork or other slight signs of age can be seen. Overall, the animation and drawing style, even when CG elements have been used, result in a realistic overall picture, and the series can convince atmospherically.
Sound: nice and harmonious, beautiful OP, the dialogues are a little bit clichéd (7/10).
The BGM by Nobuyuki Nakajim underlines the atmosphere of the anime very well and gives it a very appealing musical framework.
The OP "Okaeri Nasai" by Maaya Sakamoto is incredibly beautiful and fits the anime very well in its gentle way. The visual design of the OP underlines this impression with pictures of the quiet little town, the inclusion of pictures that look like they were taken by a camera is a nice touch.
Several ending themes were used, the titles are:
The end credits of episodes 1, 3 to 6 and 8 to 10 feature the song "Kami-sama no Itazura" by Megumi Nakajima. Her voice is high-pitched, but has a warm and clear sound, making it a very nice and gentle end to the episodes.
"Natsudori", also by Nakajima-san, graces the end credits of episode 2 and was used only for this episode. A beautiful and fitting arrangement for this episode.
"Hoshizora" has a very sensitive and beautiful melody and with Nakajima-san's voice it is very nice to hear at the end of episode 7.
"Ashita no Hidamari" is the title of episode 11 and is sung by the Seiyū: Taketatsu-, Asumi-, Iguchi- and Gibu-san.
"A Happy New Year" is sung again by Sakamoto Maaya. The song is performed in the closing sequence of episode 12, but very quietly, so that Sakamoto-san's beautiful voice doesn't really come to the fore. Still, a very beautiful song.
The choice of voice actors for the anime was very good, unfortunately the dialogues are a bit clichéd from time to time. Nevertheless, I liked the voices and the way they were spoken. Especially the voice of Hanawa Kaoru, spoken by Asumi Kana. For the supporting characters, I really liked Kotobuki Minako as the voice for Miyoshi Chihiro as well as the voice of Nakata Jouji as Maestro. Last but not least, Iguchi Yuka's voice for Norie is a great achievement, as she does such a good job with this lively, fiery character.
A gentle, charming story about how friendship and passion for photography helps overcome sadness, accept situations and rediscover the beauty of everyday life. Accompanied by beautiful imagery, lovable characters and the feeling of almost being there, the series hits just the right note if you are looking for a healing anime. The anime "Tamayura" (OVA), "Tamayura futatsu (more aggressive)" as well as the anime "Aria" or "Natsume Yuujinchou" may be of interest to you as well.
Thank you for reading and have fun watching!

Tamayura : Hitotose, at first I don't hope that much of this but here's what I get.. Story : At first, the story is somehow for me, quite deep and emotional on Potte. She hates photography but slowly tries to love what her late father loves to do when he was alive. What do you expect from anyone like after the death of someone dearly to them, of course, they don't want to be reminded of those sad moments. After finishing middle school, she moved to somewhere of a countryside in the series. There, she lived with her grandmother and having fun with her childhood friends andget this, she starts to pick up what her late father used to do. Well, I can go more from here but I'll stop there because this story is something that you yourself should watch. The story for me gives some kind of this "fuwa fuwa" feeling. Not because of the characters are cute and all, well. that is one thing but, clearly, it's just marvelous.
Art :
Art? I think it fits with the theme and definitely the airing year. So I can't say that much when it comes to art but I'll stick by saying that this art fits the theme.
Sound :
Ah, this I gave it a 9. Why? This is one of a few reasons why this series gave me some kind of this "fuwa fuwa" feeling. The music, it calms my heart every time. I can't even skip the opening and endings, it's just calms my heart. This is the kind of music what I would like to say, "Fuwa Fuwa" music hahahaha.
Character :
I don't have that much regarding this. It fits with every character. Every character has its own role and they did their role in a superb way.
Enjoyment :
As I was saying in the beginning, at first I didn't hope that much when it comes to this series but it left me with a big, heartwarming feeling every time. This is the kind of anime that you can sit back on a couch and enjoy it with families and friends. Maybe at night will make this anime more effective towards one's feeling as the story slowly brings you to what life really means but in a heartwarming way where all of us can accept the lesson to be told in this series. Not gonna lie, the story is quite slow in a way but I think that's what this series is all about.
Overall :
I definitely recommend this series to those who search for an anime to watch and enjoy together in families and friends. Depending on the person, I'm a romance genre fan but once in a while, these kinds of anime won't hurt to watch, and it left me mind-blown in a heartwarming way.
