This anime was so cute and wholesome. It makes you all happy and warm inside while watching it. Tsumugi has a great father that supports her and try everyday to be better. Tsumugi herself is a kind and well-behaved child (I mean...some temper tantrums are normal at that age so...in the end she is a good kid <3)

I had a bit of a hard time rating this anime. I actually had wanted to give it a 8.5, but ended up rounding it up to a 9 now. The story was great, but not the best and has much of the typical tropes in this ... kind of a slice of life. At that base, it more of an 8 for me personally. However, this show truly gave me more inspiration for making Japanese foods. I most definitely going to try making a hamburger stake, sangayaki, dry curry and okonomiyaki. Speaking of the okonomiyaki episode, it really got me on a nostalgia trip. All the times I had an okonomiyaki part with my friends has always been fun. Should probably organize one soon...

All in all, Amaama to Inazuma was a great show and I enjoyed it so much. I can't recommend it enough. I most likely will watch it again soon for inspiration for more Japanese food I might have overlooked on my first watch.

I enjoyed this series from start to finish.

I loved that it was a slow burn romance and the main characters didn't felt a need to rush their relationship. It felt more real because of these small details.

I also loved the friendships between the girls. They where so different, but found common grounds and became a tight friend group that supported each other. Yes, some dramas between the regarding love interests was there. However, it was valid and in the end, wasn't even too bad of a deal. I mean...it wasn't exactly a "I will destroy you socially" or anything like that. Which I ... loved.

As for the characters. They where lovely. In general, there where non I hated. But the one's I loved most was:

Firstly, Mitsumi, our main character...and what a strong and funny main character we got! I mean, she moved to Tokyo from the country-side! That takes courage and strength! Being a way from her family, friends and everything she was familiar with. Even though she had Nao, her supportive aunt that took care of her...it couldn't have been easy. Whenever she fell and failed, she picked herself up which is admirable. Plus, she was funny and I laughed a lot.

Next, Shima, the main guy in the story was also a good character and a great love interest. He wasn't pushy or so. He was a kind hearted boy that really was a good support to Mitsumi. He also had his own things going on, which added a bit more depth to him outside his relation with Mitsumi. However, I wish we could have dived a bit more into that. But I understand that the anime has more limits then mangas when it come to time so...

Nao, Mitsumi's aunt was really sweet. I loved her character and her support in making Mitsumi having a fun time while being in Tokyo. Wish we could have had more of her.

Besides the love, friendship and the characters, I really loved how this show made the school festival. The play Mitsumi's class made was great and made this show a 9 instead of a 8 for me. I'm a huge fan of "The Sound of Music", so I was happy that it basically put that play in there instead of "Cinderella" or "Snow White" that I usually see in these type of shows. Also glad that they made Shima play John/Rolf instead of the Captain. That he didn't need to be the main star, but more of a side role and a character with some moral dilemmas.

In the end, "Skip to Loafer" was a fun anime that got me back into anime after a very long time. It was funny, romantic and sweet. I couldn't give it a full 9 because it lacked that little something I couldn't put my finger on. Still, I hope they make another season for this show. Because I sure will watch more of it!

If I only could choose one series to describe my childhood it would be without a doubt this one! I probably can quote every episode by heart. As a matter of fact, I would say that a lot of my friends and family would say the exact same thing. Moomin was our childhood! Growing up we watched this story countless of times.

The characters are loveable and funny. They have their own quirks, which makes every single own memorable. It's hard to choose only own favorite characters from the series. Characters like Snufikn, Little My and Moominmama are all so loveable.

The stories in Moominvalley gives ... a comfort and nostalgic. Even til this day, I go back from time to time to watch an episode or two. They're just that good! All the episodes are amazing. The majority of them are fun adventures. However, some of the episodes actually are even scary. I believe every Finnish child's nightmare growing up the Groke. I'm not embarrassed to admit that til this day I get chills down the spain when the soundtrack of the Groke's arival is played.

However, nowadays I also appriciate the lessons taught by a lot of the episodes. Some of them teach you to love youself. Others being accepting towards other. Also how to sometime just be in the moment and enjoy and create memories with your loved ones.

In the end, this is just a fraction of the reasons why I love the Moomins so much. I could talk forever about how good the series is. It's just simply that good of a story.

A beautiful anime in every way possible. From the art to characters to the stories. One can't help but to become emotional while watching it.

The art was a bit different from a lot of animes, which made it stand out in a positive way. All of the characters had amazing designs. The colors and how they where used was great.
The best part of the story was the characters. The majority of them where loveable and well made. Yes, a lot of them had a lot of tropes in them. But it's not bad. The story made it's own touch to them. Which made them ... memorable.

The plot was sweet and rather touching. A father caring for his young daughter while keeping his work a secret in order for her not to feel embarrassed. For the majority of the time it was between a 7 or 8 points review. However, the ending sealed the deal. It was so touching, beautiful and funny at the same time.

In the end, a great anime and would recommend to give it a chance.
