Preliminary (11/12 eps)
Overall this show was quite enjoyable. It was sweet and artistically pleasing. It was a smart choice to make this into a 4-5 minute short.
(THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW SO DON'T KILL ME, read on dear....)

Story: The plot was centered around the main character's wish. It’s strong and the show doesn't drive from it either. The added comedy and scenes were enjoyable and they allowed for the show to really stretch into 12 episodes. The story was also realistic and heartwarming which made it a great tribute to the Kumamoto earthquakes.

Art: BEAUTIFUL!!! The light colors, the beautiful scenery, I loved it. During this season I liked making aesthetics from this show because there is so much depth and tone in every scene. The animation is not quite fluid but the style of art is what makes this show particularly unique. It captures the beauty of the real-life settings that the show was trying to highlight.

Sound: Maybe it was just me but at times the audio was quite soft. The voice actors gave uniqueness to the characters which were very nice since this show is trying to resemble the Kumamoto culture.

Character: I loved Natsuna. She seems quite relatable and well HUMAN. Her struggle and emotions could be seen through the setting and her body language, and all this felt so natural. All other characters as well, I loved their uniqueness and cheerful outlooks. The mysterious Itsuki leaves an impression on you throughout the show and the family who takes in Natsuna, together they just make you feel like your home.

Enjoyment: I loved it. In comparison to other Winter 2020’s this show had a realistic feel. The story is something that could really happen especially if you really bonded with someone or some people online. The sharing of the Kumamoto culture and setting is beautiful. There is a lot of heart put into this.

Overall: I give it 8, It was enjoyable, not perfect and confusing at times, I wouldn't rewatch it or anything but I loved it. AND it warmed my heart!!!
