Shaft and Shinbo directing can do no wrong, everything they make is just a cut above the majority of other anime and this show proves it. I just adored this show, it's just a simple SOL show with no real plot about a middle school girl who lives alone after her Grandma dies who has a cousin start staying with her on weekends as they attend a prep school. She is a good cook (learning from her grandmother) but discovers everything tastes better when you can eat it with someone else. And that's it, just these two cooking and eating for 12 episodes occasionally joined by their friend from school and a few other minor characters. But the great artwork, music and tons of little details just make the whole thing a delight to watch, even the little chibi character next episode previews where they hum a song were super fun to watch. No fan service (well there is one episode where they take a bath together while suggestively eating ice pops, but that's it) except for the oragasmic way food is enjoyed with close ups as each bite goes in their mouths. So if you like simple shows with cute girls cooking and eating this may be for you, I know I loved it.
