1. Q: Are the characters lovable?
A: Absolutely! I've not seen much of this season to my own regret but I can still say this is one of the best couples I have seen in a long while.
The main couple is once married so instead of the classical cringe of them never admitting their love when it blatant here it is reminded they love one another every episode.
The greatest representation of this is when Sora comes down with a cold and Chi cooks for him. Her ability to do anything is shown to be horrendous but for her husband, she tries multiple time to get it right. "Through sickness and in health"
Every other episode is a representation of Sora's love for his wife, Chi. The greatest show of this is when Chi tries to go without alcohol for multiple days. He is shown to be depressed as her condition worsens from fatigue to where he makes a drink specifically to help her. After such, he is shown to be restless in bed without her as he stares at his clock seemingly counting the minutes without her.
Leaving bed he walks to her workroom to find her asleep on the computer the complete report beside her. With a smile, he picks her up and carries her to bed before kissing her and complimenting her. "To love and to cherish"
2. Q: Did I enjoy the anime?
A: Yes! It's very much an adult Himouto! Umaru-chan. Each episode gives you a different drink to try and to go along with diabetes from sugar overload. Maybe not that second part but it sure felt like it. Having now tried three of the twelve they've shown, egg shake, fake beer, and Irish coffee, they seemed to be pretty good.
3. Q: What did I dislike about the anime?
A: The length of the episodes, but I feel if they were longer the appeal of them would drop. The main part of this show really seems to be showing different types of drinks. In a thirty minute episodes and or a movie-style anime that feeling would be lost.
With each episode being short there aren't many changes in personality. That doesn't mean there isn't a story you can read into. I say this because there is a story that if you sit down and ignore the drinks you can love and enjoy.
4. Q: Closing words?
A: Much like everything else this isn't perfect nor is it for everyone. This is about two people who found their love for another from a fateful day of tripping and alcohol. A wife who feels she can only show herself when drunk and a husband who indulges her in said fantasy. It's three minutes each episode and I greatly suggest watching.
