There is so much that is great with this show! It has great and diverse characters with their own sense of justice and motivations. The music is perfect, the animation is acceptable but it fits the setting well. Above all else the show never fails to surprise the viewer, and that is something that I value a lot. As long as it is thoughtful, of course. I would like to see more anime like it! I think that there were some parts that lay outside the main story that was a bit...strange to add since it did nothing for really. But these elements were in still interesting enough. It is listed at slice of life but if you want to have something relaxed, this is not the show for you!

I thought the show was really great the first episodes, dark setting and interesting characters. Somewhere along the way I grew bored by the show however. I will probably watch the second season if it ever comes out since I am a fan of the novels. This was entertaining but the stark difference to how it started and how it ended made it less interesting for me. I hope the next season will focus on what made the first episodes so good. I think maybe sandmand will have a hard time to compete with all the upcoming franchises coming out this fall, I hope I am wrong though!

On another note, 600 characters requirement for a short user review is too damn long!

I thought this was a lovley show, so cute and heartwarming. It also bring up some more difficult topics related to anxiety and blood relations to your child. Furthermore it highlights that it is important for children to get a say in some decisions that adults make for them. It is different and yet so everyday, perfect slice of life anime.
