Non Non Biyori is one of those rare anime (for me anyway) that I can watch over and over and still love it. The story is so simple, so perfectly enjoyable and heartwarming. It's a pure and innocent show that makes it perfect for family viewing and can often be inspiring, making you want to rediscover your connection with nature and grab your childhood by the horns.

The series has no particular plot, it jumps around the year, moving with the seasons. It beautifully displays the four seasons and creates the nostalgic feelings we often experience, even more so as we watch the characters enjoy each season to its fullest, from jumping into rivers to making igloos.

All of the characters are lovable as you quickly get to know them in each episode, learning more and more about them. Watching the four girls play and discover never becomes boring. They do simple, everyday things, but their personalities and relationships with each other make even the most normal tasks enjoyable to watch. The humor is very lighthearted, it's almost impossible to not smile throughout each episode.

I really can't say anything bad about Non Non Biyori. For me, it was the perfect anime. I can watch alone, with my family, over and over. I fell in love with it, with it's characters, and it's setting almost instantly. Whenever someone asks for a recommendation for a slice of life anime, I ALWAYS mention Non Non Biyori. If you want a relaxing, enjoyable, nostalgic and entertaining show, this is where it' at.
