It must be mentioned that (at the time of writing this) there are only two episodes available, therefore this cannot be seen as a "review". However that being said, I feel that it is absolutely necessary to point out to whomever reads this, that this anime is simply fantastic! In fact, I'm asking you to please watch it - Experience it!
The first episode didn't take very long to grab hold of me entirely, as pretty much every aspect of it is amazing. The opening music added with the images of the scenery which depicts the setting of the anime itself, is shown in a way that manages to tug on some hidden emotional strings. The stillness of it, the tranquility and calmness but light-heated and somewhat "joyousness" of the setting is something that I haven't experienced before in an anime. It's very heart warming.
The more important aspects to point out, to those who want analyses (objective or subjective), are as follows:
-The overall quality of the graphics, scenery, imagery/drawing is breathtakingly beautiful. I am highly impressed with the studio(s) that were involved with it's production - as this is honestly one of the best looking anime's (perhaps, it must be said "of this genre") that I have seen in a long while. (Of course, in non other than 1080p)
-The sound design, and usage of music and the music itself is as much as anyone would expect really, from such an anime. It does well to set the mood that the anime intends to set, and overall is rather relaxing. coupled with the anime, it does a very good job at adding an aspect most would overlook. That is, the music successfully lets you "feel" as if you're "part" of the anime. It's a tough one to explain, and only upon hearing it for oneself will one understand what I mean. Ambient sound effects and atmospheric effects also add a level of subtle detail as well.
-The animation quality of the characters is rather standard really. From an anime in 2013, it's what you would expect.
-Having a small cast is something that I believe is in this anime's favor. With only a small hand full of characters, each one can be detailed more, with regards to animation or VA. Both of which are of a high standard.
It must also be said that, besides the first episode, this anime seems to follow the manga rather accurately. Since the first episode I have read all the available scanlated manga. Therefore I know what is coming, and episode 2 showed me just how closely it follows the manga. If this continues, the anime will be nothing short of superb!
The anime (as well as the manga) is heart warming, it's enjoyable and by all means cute! All the characters are lovable, and this is the first anime that has not ONE SINGLE negative aspect. However subjective it may seem, I honestly cannot find a flaw with it. It's masterfully put together, and I thoroughly believe that it will become one of my all time most loved anime's/manga's.
If you are one for this genre. Watch it. Then read the manga. Do yourself this favor! It's totally worth it! (
