Mama Wa Shougaku 4 Nensei is an anime that's very rare to come by in today's anime. The anime of today are drastically different than the past and that's true, especially the slice of life genre since MWS4N is exactly that.
MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
The anime stars the duo Natsumi and Izumi: Natsumi is the 4th grader mother of the baby Mirai, and Izumi is Natsumi's young adult aunt who aspires to become a famous Shounen mangaka. These two are forced to raise baby Mirai after a time slip that caused Mirai's teleportation to their time. Izumi and Natsumi are then forced to raise Mirai until they ... can find a way to bring Mirai back to her time. Natsumi throughout the course of the anime learns to mature more rapidly than children her age, since she has to raise her own child, keep that a secret, AND attend school full time. Izumi as well finally learns to confront her responsibility as an adult, and look after both Natsumi and Mirai as a guest in her own sister's house. This anime's beauty comes from its art style that perfectly represents the 90s, and from its colorful characters who make the episodes enjoyable. At the end of each episode, the characters develop tremendously as they learn from their mistakes, with Mirai playing the greatest role in all of this, being the trouble maker that she is. Mirai has a great resemblance to her grand aunt Izumi as well as taking her love for mischief from her (SPOILER) father Daisuke.
Daisuke is revealed around episode 13-14 to be Natsumi's father(although none of the characters actually realize that), he as well starts to show his fatherly instincts and learns to love and care for Mirai and her mother. At the end of the anime he and Natsumi start to share mutual respect after years of bickering and childish jokes.
MWS4N is now available in full english subs at nyaa(can't link you to it), so give it a try!
(NOTE: I watched the arabic subbed version of MWS4N, fully available on YouTube)

After finishing the first two parts of JoJo which were both great in my opinion, I had a problem with the third part. One word: Boring. I think many people agree with me on this point, I just found myself spacing out on many of the fight scenes and the only thing that was enjoyable was the end due to the smart ass thing the character will pull out, basically like every anime fight out there ya know? The music score was full of bangers ngl, the openig was sung by one of my favorites: Jin Hashimoto, the guy who did Kaze Wo Tsukinukete and ... Aozora ni Naru. The characters were what really made this series bearable since they were all fun in their own way, especially my man JP Polnareff.
