Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei

what i think about the anime:
just gonna make it short
"Comedy & Slice of Life" a combination of a deep-cut emotion tactics.'' yup. yup indeed this anime pulled my heartstrings many times i feel so toucheedd~~~

and animes like one is really hard to find, theres no harem, ecchi, romance, action and junk

and i have a weakness for slice of life genres xD

story:
the story centers around the little girl named rin its pretty much about how her daily life as a poor girl she got no powers she aint a mahou shoujo shes just a poor girl who lives by herself
...
art: the art is fine ig because it doesnt look like a childs drawing and i cant even draw lol and it fits with the storyline too like i cant imagine a better artstyle can fit with this story.

sound/music:
i like the opening and ending music its pleasant to hear :D

characters:
ok now the characters are great they have developments through like they try to help rin and their not just as some treated as background characters which i think is really charming

enjoyment:
YES I ENJOYED IT, IT WAS TOUCHING AND MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM GONNA DO MY BEST like i feel so motivated maybe its because of the fact that she has nothing and while me actually has stuff that i can brag off ( its like when my parents are like you should treat your things with much care, poor people cant even have them)

This is a really good show in my opinion, if you like sort of that older more heartwarming sort of slice of life sort of like Aria and all that, you'd probably like Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei.

As of right now (December 12, 2017) it's only available on Tate Anime's app which is in Japanese only. You've either got to be in Japan or trick either Google Play or the App Store into thinking you're in Japan to obtain the app. I heard there's some Russian subtitles out now or something, so hopefully there'll be English subtitles out soon.

Story ... [8]
It's slice of life, so the stories are just tidbits of stuff that goes on. The overall theme is people helping out the main character Rin since she lives alone.

Art [7]
The art is weird, it's the best I've seen for any anime on the Tate Anime app, but it's not like it's all that great. I'd say the art is pretty good, but the motion and animation is limited or something like that. Also it's upright video since it's Tate Anime, so that's a bit weird, but they did well with it.

Sound [9]
The opening theme is pretty good in my opinion. They played this one song at the very end that was even better, but I can't figure out how to find it. The mix of voices overall works well, and the background sound and effects are all good.

Character [9]
I dunno, I really liked all the characters. The main character Rin especially was a really chill character. There's a few supporting characters throughout the show who are neat as well.

Enjoyment [10]
Super chill, I'm definitely going to watch this again when subs come out.

Overall [9]
Yeah, this anime is pretty chill, I'd advise you at least check it out if you like slice of life. If you're learning Japanese, it's actually sort of a cool show to watch without subtitles cause I'm at a basic level and I could pick up a surprising amount of the things going on.

This is my first review, I'm really surprised how much I wrote, so I hope it's helpful. I just saw this had no review and thought somebody's got to write one.

"Depression the animation" is what this series should have been named.

The anime is depressing, I saw this by chance on a random website so I thought I would see what it is about because the poster made it appear like a light-hearted slice of life but after reading the description I knew that the genres written on it were fake, this anime is so depressing that it made me tear up in some episodes specially episode 4 which was just too depressing.

The characters are great in the anime specially the MC who is just a poor girl yet so well-mannered that she gave money she ... found on the streets to a police officer instead of taking it for herself.

The sound is very good, the VAs have done a great job ,the opening song and ending song are very nice and the very few soundtracks are well-fitting.
The art is good I guess, it seems like the anime has an extremely low budget but it still looks good.

Overall I give this a 10/10.
Would definitely recommend it to everyone.

This is my first time to write a review for MAL. I'm giving my first review for this anime that made me feel good and enjoyed. I will make it simple as possible.

Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei tells a story about the little girl whose living her life without parents as she only keep running a restaurant business. The main character is bad in cooking, but her attitude makes the people attract to her restaurant at the same time. People may judge her social role (she's somehow poor wearing teared clothes), however it's not a hindrance for her. Other people around sometimes help her.

Story ... (9/10)

The story is original. It's tagged as comedy, but the real thing is, it is completely depressing if you think about the main character living alone with her life. Some episodes are funny and some of them are heartwarming. I do not have a complaint about the story. I like it so much!

Art (8/10)

The art is quite relaxing because it is very simple. The animation background looks amazing as I Imagine myself living in a countryside place. A 3-minute video is not bad at all. Character designs are well-drawn, in the contrary, it's lacking of movements if you try to observe it.


Sound (9/10)

The sound is good even they only show a short glimpse of opening song.


Character (9/10)

The characters are very realistic, it totally happens in real life. They have their own personality. I like them because they are funny and memorable. I won't forget them.


Enjoyment (10/10)

Like what I have said, I love this anime so much. Easy high score!


Overall (8/10)

Try watching this anime and you will not regret it. It's short so you can finish it quickly. I definitely recommend it if you want to watch a heartwarming slice-of-life anime.

A great use of your time.

Each episode is 3 minutes and the whole thing amounts to 30.

It's quick, sweet, and righteous.

The biggest value of it in my opinion comes from the magnificent example of noteworthy humanitarian conduct that are found in every episode. Every single character is ultimately portrayed to be a good person. Making you feel like the whole world is full of wonderful people.

This anime shows us a world where even though life may not be fair and problems arise from time to time; things always work out in the end, and good things always come to those who are ... good.

Warm fuzzy feelings ensured.

This one is mostly a comedy slice of life, minus one single episode that bizarrely goes a bit off genre bringing in a dragon into the story.

Watch it!

It's the kind of story that will leave you as a slightly better person when you are finished that when you started it.

Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei is a truly adorable, heartwarming anime, with some rock-bottom production quality that is uniquely terrible, and present during every moment of the show. Beginning with the strong point of this anime by a mile, the story itself is great. A little slice of life about a struggling orphan girl living alone and trying to support herself and save money wherever possible, be it skipping meals, using duct tape as an eraser, or trying to bring in customers to her little shop. Even given the state of her life, she remains pure, innocent, and committed to the happiness ... of others throughout. The townspeople around her are by and large very kind and supporting people, and to see how they treat such an unfortunate girl with immense kindness is genuinely nice. One could ask, then, why one of them don't just adopt her, but that's part of the suspension of disbelief required to really enjoy this show. It is a really nice little story, and that much cannot be overstated. Now for the rest of this anime.

The art has a pretty standard art direction, with character designs that are serviceable don't really stand out, but the execution of the art is awful. It is barely animated, and all sorts of little tricks are used to conceal this fact. The aspect ratio of the show is also jarring, bizarrely looking as though it's meant for a vertical phone screen.

The sound is atrocious, as though everything from the music to the voice work was recorded through a tin can, reverberating in a way that sounds cheap, artificial, and robotic.

The charters are strong, but Rin absolutely steals the show. She is the nexus of the whole anime, and her defiant optimism and kindness in the face of her situation make her a pleasure to have as a protagonist. Overall, Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei is a sweet little OVA that suffers from some dire production issues. Regardless of how bad the execution is, I still recommend you watch it, if for no other reason than the touching story it offers.

This is a story you can watch over and over again and never get tired of.

A nine-year-old girl who lives alone and runs their family restaurant, what could go wrong?
She is obviously unskilled in the arts of cooking and running a business, so she has to work really hard to keep customers. She’s poor, but regardless, she’s always positive and kind to the ones around her. This anime includes a lot of fun characters which you will grow to love. Watching this made me really happy and inspired to just enjoy the people around me and appreciate everything.

It's a really heartwarming story. It’s ... only 30 minutes long, you won’t regret watching this, and I'm sure that anyone would enjoy this. So get a drink, and simply take in these 30 minutes.
