Story 10/10: This isn't the kind of show you watch for a beginning-middle-end format with a finale to wrap everything up. Sounds crazy, right? Because then what else is left? Despite those elements, this is a show you watch for the development and struggle of a single father who goes from raising his daughter on frozen dinners to learning to cook for her sake. That is really the oversimplified version of it, but it's fairly hard to explain the heartwarming story that comes from that premise.

Art 10/10: I still stick by not being an art critic, so my main point here is that THIS SHOW WILL MAKE YOU VERY HUNGRY.

Character 9/10: The dad, Kouhei, is a great character who goes through wonderful development as a single father who needs to learn to take care of his young daughter. His daughter, Tsumugi, is perfect, my friend and I are still fighting over custody for her. The only reason I gave this category a 9 is because in his journey to learn how to cook, he is also learning with one of his students, Kotori, who is the daughter of a famous chef and just has a semi-flat character. Other than the big three of this show, the side characters are pretty nice and amusing as well.

Enjoyment & Overall 10/10: in this uncommon case, these two categories can be combined because their points are pretty much the same: Tsumugi is the most precious child ever and impossible not to love; the show is heavily based on character development since there is no end goal of it all and it does a wonderful job at that; and finally, people can learn a couple of cooking tips from the show and that is always a nice bonus when you can take something away from it all. Final note, I found myself randomly crying at points, so be prepared for that as well.
