I loved this anime. It was so beautiful and feel good as well as funny. All the characters are so wonderful. It reminds me of several feel good tv shows where the person from the big city movie to the small town in Alaska or an island or small town. I loved it.

The anime has a different charm puting the emphasis on the community life and the value it holds over an isolated individualilstic life. Naru herself puts a smile in us whenvever she comes . The characters are all so loving and adorable. Plus you will get to seea different picture of rural life in Japan. It is fun and has so much to teach. Handa kun is a kid in an adult body but towards the end we find him maturing both in his caligraphy and in himself.

I stumbled across this anime accidentally. At first I wasn't sure about it, but it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. There were some heartwarming moments in it and I liked the characters (with the main character's mother, who only appeared in the last episode, as an exception, she annoyed me so much). However, that is as far as it goes: a cute, heartwarming, slice of life story. It was nice entertainment, but not the kind of series that continues to linger in my mind after I've finished watching it. Not to mention it seemed to lack a certain level of depth that could have made the story much more interesting.

Overall I'd say that with a decent animation style, a decent soundtrack and a decent story, this anime is just fine, and I'd recommend it if you're just looking for some lighthearted entertainment. If you're looking for something more than that, however, this anime will not live up to your expectations.

I got connected to anime from get go and you will love the characters more by every passing episode.it shows how to live a happy life to its fullest enjoying every tiny moment without worrying much about success or failure. This anime does put smile on your face and you would end up wanting to live the life that protagonist had lived in island.

The synopsis of this anime is so simple but that's what got me hooked into it, it isn't a shallow school type of slice of life and neither at the end of track it isn't something that could break you and question your existence. A simple story not too complicated or deep and gives us themes about everyday life.

The story is so simple but wonderfully crafted. It doesn't have action, monsters blowing buildings apart or anything like that. In fact its the opposite since it is a slice of anime. Everything comes back connected to reality and at times when medium of most animes is filled with fictional writing it's sometimes relaxing to come back to something that feels grounded and realistic. I really liked the tone series gave off. The pacing is great and it starts off amazingly well right off the bat. It has a slight touch to the comedy nothing too exaggerated or coming off to hard. It is light hearted and has a few powerful touches to invoke some slightly strong emotions from the audience. Nothing too deep or has any associated acts with heavy themes. Just a friendly, heart warming, and a unique slice of life anime which was all I wanted. Relaxing at the same time a bit crazy.

The characters are nothing too extensive. They are all very likable and that's guaranteed. But at the same time we don't care deeply enough about them because at the end of the day we know they are all going to be fine since for one thing the show isn't depressing or is going to hit us with the grim side of reality but instead show the good side of it. And also we haven't gotten to know more about them. But all in all I think you will definitely like the characters in a short period of time. They are all different from one another and have their own unique quirks.

The music is wonderfully constructed. And it has unique character designs no characters looked like a copy and paste of one another. The landscapes in some of the scenes just give me a peace of silence. It really uplifted my mood. The intros and outros are both great. Unlike most of the animes I watch where I skip the intro to get to the episode often, the intro of this anime is just so watchable and gets you into the right feels.

The rewatch value is a mixed bag. Its such a short anime series only 12 eps. But t might get a bit repetitive and boring for some people after a while but seriously it's like a short therapy session just watching a single ep just made me smile and be happy.

Overall quiet an enjoyable series.
