Synopsis

Since the death of his wife, Kouhei Inuzuka has been caring for his young daughter Tsumugi to the best of his abilities. However, with his lack of culinary knowledge and his busy job as a teacher, he is left relying on ready-made meals from convenience stores to feed the little girl. Frustrated at his own incapability to provide a fresh, nutritious meal for his daughter, Kouhei takes up an offer from his student, Kotori Iida, to come have dinner at her family's restaurant. But on their very first visit, the father and daughter discover that the restaurant is often closed due to Kotori's mother being away for work and that Kotori often eats alone. After much pleading from his pupil, Kouhei decides to continue to go to the restaurant with Tsumugi to cook and share delicious homemade food with Kotori.

Amaama to Inazuma follows the heartwarming story of a caring father trying his hardest to make his adorable little daughter happy, while exploring the meanings and values behind cooking, family, and the warm meals at home that are often taken for granted.

This anime adapts the first 19 chapters of a manga that spans 12 volumes and 63 chapters total. And of course, it had to leave out a fair bit to make it even that far.

The art work and the voice acting make this a very special anime. The art in the manga was great, but after watching the anime, I feel like the manga was a bit minimalist. The extra detail, and of course the color, make the anime a really special experience. And the voice actors were incredible. Every single VA was perfect. It was as if I had known the characters and ...

Mixed Feelings
There is a reason I rated this anime low, and it has nothing to do with the characters. They were sweet, and the little girl was particularly cute, and had some believable character growth. It had nothing to to with the art, which was pretty good, or the sound, or anything like that. There was nothing wrong with this anime. Nothing at all.

Except...

It is a food anime.

That's all it is. Every episode involves a single father and his daughter making food with one of his students who is a kinda-sorta-maybe love interest.

And that's all you'll ever get out of it.

Any ...

This show can't decide if it's about lonely individuals finding each other and becoming family, or if it's just a cooking appreciation show.

Based on the premise, you'd expect that this show would focus on interpersonal relationships and the difficulty of single parenting. But, the show ends up spending a lot of time on particular dishes and making them.

This would be perfectly fine if it really focused all of its energy on the food aspect, like "Restaurant from Another World" or "Campfire Cooking in Another World" (huh a lot of food isekai...)

But even when the characters are cooking, many shots are devoted to the characters' ...
