Waaaaaaah~ Mamiko Noto was so lovely in this.
It was short, but I felt a little attached to the kids, making it sad for them to leave even though it was obvious how it would end.
I'm glad Mamiko Noto bettered herself through the experience, even though she was already perfect in the beginning.

Tae was my favorite.

I agree with you on that point, but my reason only has to do with Ueda Kana though...

Not very funny and pretty boring. A fine addition to the tradition of Japanese animated tranquilizers.

I like this one best out of the 3 so far. I doubt I will like the last or not.

I would have set some rules with those kids from early on, like:

"Ill watch TV when I eat if I feel like it, dammit, its my house!"


Freaking spirits, who the hell do they think I am?


Anyway, it was fun watching it and I cant wait to see what the last young animator training project is.
Blergh.

This one's probably my favorite so far. It had a relaxed atmosphere which I generally enjoy in similar shows, and the music and art were well done.

Oh wow after the wardrobe, the cupboard too! Well I wouldn't mind the little people if the cupboard has one too, as long as they're actually helpful like the first ones. XD 8/10

Cute art and nice premise but ... I felt they pulled the spirits outta nowhere and had 'em disappear much the same way. Was expecting each spirit to have its own significance so the ending felt empty.

Not really my favorite animation test but the concept was actually quite interesting, but rather disliked the art.

What was the end

A new thing from her grandmother is on the way.

Does that mean there will be new creatures again?

That was nice I guess.

But there really wasn't enough time for viewer to make a bond with those spirits so their farewell felt kinda flat. One hour would be perfect for this movie so they would have enough time to introduce every one of them properly. I was also hoping for more developement of her relation with her friend and they could also hinted that she found some man in the end.

But other than that I really like it.

Nice one-shot SOL OVA, just wish that the separation was foreshadowed earlier in the episode. I am also somewhat confused by the "serving under Hiiragi's mistress", don't the women change their family name once they're married?

Now its a cupboard, I wonder what type of people it has or maybe its the same ones. I think their purpose was to bring change to their master's life and they did with Hiragi, for her to be able to do things on her own. The only ones who were useful were Masa and Yuki, especially since Masa cooks well and I would use him in my life. As for others especially Daigorou and Hanpei, I thought they weren't necessary but company.

Would've loved a full series on this because I bet it would be a great show. 7/10.

Noel is so damn cute I wouldn't mind being her wardrobe servant. Really enjoyed the soft (? I really don't have the visual vocabulary to describe them) backgrounds and loved the music, but the narrative had an offkilter feel to it. Maybe that was purposeful, but it sort of didn't work with the overall atmosphere of the episode I felt.
