Frankly i enjoyed this anime a lot. After a hard day of work there is nothing better to relax your mind. But i can't give it a higher score then 6/10 because that is a realistic score for this anime. Watching Udon no Kuni episode by episode every week made it more interesting and made it not getting boring, but i think bench watching this anime it will get boring fast. If you like a classic Slice of Life anime you should probably watch this. Its easy going and enjoyable for a family and kids to watch. The seinen genre of this series i don't get it, i think there is nothing about this anime for it to have a seinen genre. It's more a shonen anime then a senine.
Story 6/10
The concept of the story is interesting. Japanese raccoon dog that has take form of a kid that follows and lives with the main character. But where the story fall short is that it's slow going, there is nothing interesting happening in it, just some random stuff that is leading to nowhere. I was really hoping to see some romance development between Souta Tawara and Sae Fujiyama to spice things up, but there was nothing not even a shred of romance. The story could be summed up in 2-3 episode and the rest is just some random stuff ( junk episodes ) that has nothing really to do with the story.
Art 5/10
The art is meant to be appealing to a younger generation of people. It's simple and bland. The only thing that it has going for it is cuteness, the whole anime is based on that.
Sound 5/10
There is nothing bad about the sound, but also there is nothing special about it neither. Voice acting was pretty good i guess. But there was no song or melody that was stuck in my mined.
Character 5/10
The characters are simple and easy to figure out what there all about. Except Souta Tawara there is no character development.
Enjoyment 8/10
As i sad in the heading i did enjoy this anime. It's a relaxing and well done for what it is. And i think if you like this Slice of Life genre of anime you will enjoy this anime as well.
