Well, this anime is superb. It certainly can be compared to those Studio Ghibli ones. It's a pity that it is so underrated. The storyline of Uchouten Kazoku is very original. An anime about Tanuki? That's the first I have heard of it. The anime is about a tanuki (a type of Japanese traditional Tokyo) Yasaburou. He is the one that has inherited his deceased father's idiot blood the most among his brothers. His father was the leader of the tanuki but had unfortunately become a hot pot for the Friday Fellows. The truth of his capture was revealed in the middle of the anime.

There are some parts where the author left them unexplained though. I would like to know more details and see deeper interactions between characters. Sadly , it is not shown in the last episode. Apart from that, it's good.
Overall, the pace of this anime is very light-hearted and heartwarming at times. I must say that the mood of the anime is too light at times although the anime is meant to be a humorous one.
The OSTs are great. I give it a rating of 9/10. It sounds jazzy and traditional at the same time which is amazing. Besides the music, the artwork is nicely done. The characters are also interesting and the development is not bad. The interactions between the characters can put a smile to your face. So if you want to watch a cheerful anime, check this out!
