So, the concept of atm is that a father named Kohei, who just lost his wife 6 months ago, can't cook meals for his daughter, tsumugi, so they buy packaged meals from a store. However, one of koheis students, iida, is the daughter of a famous chef lady. Together, they all cook meals together!!! The story sounds very interesting at first, but unfortunately, something ruins it completely:
REPETETIVENESS!!! Yeah, this may seem like a bit of a spoiler, but almost every episode has the same exact concept. No, I take that back. Every episode is the exact same, except for what food they're cooking. For a few episodes, its not a real issue, but eventually, you slowly realize this. Another issue with the story is that, they always tried to avoid the emotional issues of losing the mother. And no, this isn't an issue because I was expecting it to be emotional before watching. Its because the first episode set up this kind of mood, and it rlly worked. I would say the emotional moments (while very few of them) were the shows best.
The art is pretty good. Not perfect, but it overall looks nice, and makes the character designs stand out.
The soundtrack, on the other hand, gets pretty annoying. Its repetitive, just like the show. Literally in each episode, after they finish cooking, that same annoying tune plays again. This is rlly saying something, as usually I don't give much attention to soundtracks. The voice acting, on the other hand, was average, tho it got annoying at times.
As for the characters? Well, they were all forgettable. None of them got any development. Not even firkin Kohei. In the beginning, well he doesn't know what hes doing, and in the end, its still kinda like that. Tsumugi starts out very cute, but after a few episodes, she gets quite annoying. Iida has gotta be one of the worst characters iv ever seen. Shes rlly annoying, and has this 'fear of knives' that is never explained. Honestly, no other characters are rlly worth mention.
Watching this series is INCREDIBLY BORING, too. Like, do the creators rlly think we wanna watch them cook the entire time?
Well, I'm basically done talking about this show now. Just gonna give it a 3 because it sucks and the fact that chose to finish this is one of the worst mistakes I have ever made in my whole life
