Natsunagu!

This was an enjoyable watch overall.

The story is pretty simple as you can probably tell by the synopsis; I would say it isn't executed as well as it could have been. Some episodes seemed to kind of lose my interest with what was actually happening story-wise but I kept watching because I enjoyed the art/music.

The art is absolutely beautiful, lots of very nice landscape scenes with sunsets and mountains. It feels quite simple but has a certain vibe to it that is aesthetically pleasing. The art-style goes well with the music choices, in my opinion.

Sound is pretty good. I enjoyed almost all of ... the voice acting and the music selection was used well/all the songs were enjoyable.

The characters felt pretty flat besides the main characters. I did become emotionally invested in her throughout the series, though.She is cute and you want things to work out for her the more you learn about her. All of the other characters mainly just a play a role in her story so they aren't really worth mentioning.

Overall, it was an enjoyable watch. It's quite short at 48 minutes so it doesn't take a lot of time and would probably be a decent binge-watch if you are in the mood for something simple, aesthetically pleasing with good music, and pretty cute.

No spoilers review

Story - Natsunagu! is about a young girl searching for her friend from online in real life after she loses connection with her online. Interesting to follow and heartwarming to watch. 7/10

Art - I love the animation direction the show decided to go with. Character designs to the world itself looked amazing.
6/10

Sound - Nothing about the music or sound of the show stood out to me, I would have to rematch to see if anything was interesting but that would miss the point. On the other end nothing was off with sound design ether.
4/10

Character - Adding onto the show's ... animation design, the characters look great but nothing more.
5/10

Enjoyment - It was fun while it lasted and I'm not sad its over nor happy it ended. I would recommend this to friends but personally it was fair. 5/10

Ah, the adventure of searching for a lost online friend and the struggles that come with it! Except this gal decided to get off the net and search for her herself! Id call that a good friend in any language.

The story is as simple as that, but the adventure along the way is both sweet and bitter at times. As most adventures seem to be.

The characters are fairly branched out for the short time period this anime is. But personally I barely felt much for any of the characters except for the main and her online friend at the very very end. So emotionally ... Im not tied to the story, but its still a cute one.

To be frank this story is very short, simple, and mostly cute. If none of those sound appetizing to you this anime wont be for you. But if you want to binge the season and give this show 30 minutes of your time to do so, you wouldnt find yourself at a loss.

Itsuki, a regular teenage girl in search for a friend in a place she isn't really familiar with, Kumamoto, she meets some friendly people along the way in search for long lost friend and discovered all the places around Kumamoto.

This anime is heartwarming, but felt lacking in most episodes for some reason, it's still a somehow good anime don't get me wrong.

Art style, its pretty good, compared to big anime companies the visuals on this anime looks cute at times and is one of the reason why i watched this.

Music is prolly what will be stuck to your head, its just so bloody good, like ... seriously.

Overall, It's not bad, but it's not good either, Theres not alot of stuff to talk about a fairly short anime tbh and this is just a one big advertisment for the Kumamoto Prefecture.

Is it worth to watch it? I guess. If you have nothing to watch, watch this, As a filler. Other wise its "meh"

Cute. Simple. and Short.


I watched this who ONA on Youtube. It look interesting and it reminded me a little of KyoAni.
Natsunagu! is about this college student trying to find her online friend with little to no leads. She travels to Kumamoto from Tokyo literally asking the townspeople if they knew who she was. Everyone she meets is helpful and friendly, and she takes an adventure through Kumamoto, essentially a tour.

Some episodes I skipped seconds through (its only 4minutes per episode!) because they were a bit boring and predictive.

Art - simple and aesthetic vibe
Sound- nice OST , i like the ending, it ... sounds like it can belong in KTV
Characters- okay, the townspeople have personality, i feel like MC was too naive and accepting
Enjoyment- was a good binge :)

I feel that if it was a longer anime with more fleshed out character development, it would be very cute.
