Some might think, 'oh, six episodes, this series must have not gone so far' or something along the lines of that. And you just had to watch it to figure out why it only had six episodes.

Story: 10/10. Overall, this story was very nice and impacting. Let me tell you - six episodes sure can mean something. Each episode was about Momo (the main character, the shinigami) basically watching over a different person and trying to help them realize why they should live and what's good about their life. We as human beings often under appreciate what we have so the story was pretty unique and made me think that even the smallest things can make a difference.

Art: 10/10. Not much to say. I thought the OP/ED was sequenced nicely and I like how the animation and how the characters were drawn.

Sound: 10/10. Again, not much to say. I liked the OP/ED songs and the background music fit the scenes quite well. All in all, very relaxing and put together well.

Character: 10/10. Each episode had different characters involved, but the one that stated constant was Momo and her cat Daniel. I thought Momo's personality really fit her. Generally, shinigamis aren't imagined as "nice" but rather "mean, evil," and whatnot. I loved the fact that they showed that shinigamis can be nice and peaceful. Every different character she was with had personalities that fit the situation and the story.

Enjoyment: 8/10. This series was only 6 episodes, and for 6 episodes, it was awfully slow-paced. I know, this anime wasn't really one to focus on action, and I don't think it was intended to at all, but I thought just a teeny teeny tiny bit more action (to keep my low attention span) would've been better. At times, it was just a little too mellow and calm for me, but in general, the peaceful atmosphere of it was nice to see.

Overall: 9/10. This series was a short and simple one that told a lot in six episodes. Although, be warned, if you're one that likes action and has to have something going on, you might not really be all that interested in this series as I was. I personally like animes that kind of give us a 'life lesson' so that kept me watching. :)
