This is my first time to write a review for MAL. I'm giving my first review for this anime that made me feel good and enjoyed. I will make it simple as possible.
Hitorigurashi no Shougakusei tells a story about the little girl whose living her life without parents as she only keep running a restaurant business. The main character is bad in cooking, but her attitude makes the people attract to her restaurant at the same time. People may judge her social role (she's somehow poor wearing teared clothes), however it's not a hindrance for her. Other people around sometimes help her.
Story (9/10)
The story is original. It's tagged as comedy, but the real thing is, it is completely depressing if you think about the main character living alone with her life. Some episodes are funny and some of them are heartwarming. I do not have a complaint about the story. I like it so much!
Art (8/10)
The art is quite relaxing because it is very simple. The animation background looks amazing as I Imagine myself living in a countryside place. A 3-minute video is not bad at all. Character designs are well-drawn, in the contrary, it's lacking of movements if you try to observe it.
Sound (9/10)
The sound is good even they only show a short glimpse of opening song.
Character (9/10)
The characters are very realistic, it totally happens in real life. They have their own personality. I like them because they are funny and memorable. I won't forget them.
Enjoyment (10/10)
Like what I have said, I love this anime so much. Easy high score!
Overall (8/10)
Try watching this anime and you will not regret it. It's short so you can finish it quickly. I definitely recommend it if you want to watch a heartwarming slice-of-life anime.
