For me, it was that type of compositions when you sit at evening and try to find something worthwhile and not too embarrassing. Because nothing worthwhile didn't happen. Heroic deals - not for you, supernatural things always happens in other countries, apocalypse was canceled. All what you do: just went outdoor, met your friends, walk nearby with silly thoughts and do dummy things. You can't write about it, it was fun for you, not for anybody else.
And "Dagashi Kashi" is exactly about this kind of summer. It set of short stories about teenagers (Kokonotsu, Hotaru, Saya and Tou) who doing nothing special. Hotaru with hers perverted on sweets mind, all time finds some game to play. Kokonotsu, because of none more important job to do, join her. Tou is just a dude, who thinking about boobs and how to become popular, and Saya looking at this zoo with curiosity and try to understand, what sense in all of this.
But there is no sense, it just fun, good and so nostalgic to do dummy things, without any hint on moral. Eat candies, relax and you will be happy.
So, this anime had no plot (but who need plot in sitcom?), jokes were sometimes childish. But this summer atmosphere and nostalgy for better days (with no regret) deliver some enjoyment.
