Non Non Non Biyori is one of those things for which I would like to spend a day in the countryside having the same adventures as the protagonists, breathing fresh air and camping somewhere in the woods.
Yes, it would be great to have that experience.
But let's not get too long and start with this short review: You could say that third season is a sequel to the previous two seasons. This time we will not have Hotaru for the third time introducing herself to her new friends (Renge, Natsumi and Komaru), but we will see a little "after" of what has happened in the anime. When I say little is because it does not happen that long (Or it could happen at the same time as the previous two seasons).
The anecdotes lived by our protagonists are quite entertaining, some are very funny, others are calm, and there is also a wholesome element. However, even though each story is different (And also different from the previous two seasons), the premise and atmosphere of Non Non Biyori Nonstop is generally the same as the other two seasons.
But this season also adds new things that complement and make even more entertaining: Hikage and Konomi have a greater role in this third season and also Akane Shinoda, Konomi's somewhat shy classmate and flutist, is introduced as part of the recurring cast of Non Non Biyori. The synergy that occurs throughout the series generates a lot of laughter. If I can tell you my favorite, I would easily tell you that Hikage and Natsumi, this troublesome duo has brought me a lot of laughs every time they get in trouble with Natsumi's mother or clowning around with the rest of the girls.
A characteristic of Non Non Biyori is its quite original stories. Unlike the slice of life focused on the city and school life, this anime tells us a lot about life in the countryside and it is interesting how the girl group manages to have fun and not see the life of the countryside as a boring lifestyle. Or maybe because we who live in urban cities maybe see life in the countryside that way *laughs*
But I have only one complaint: Suguro, Natsumi's and Komaru's older brother, is also not speaking this season. I'm sorry to disappoint you that it won't be possible either. Nonetheless, Non Non Biyori has a lot of good things to present in all these 12 episodes.
As usual, a soundtrack composed of musical instruments is presented, where the accordion and the flute continue to take center stage. In fact, with Akane's intro, there are recurring episodes where we see Renge, Konomi, and Akane playing the flute and all of this overall lends it a magically calm atmosphere.
On the other hand we have for the third time Nano.RIPE with the song Tsugihahi Moyou in a pop-rock style opening each episode of Non Non Biyori. The ending Tadaima would be performed by the main seiyuu after the main cast in their chibi form say goodbye to the viewer.
With the final arrival of the Non Non Biyori manga getting closer and closer, many of us are going to start to miss Renge and company of the great anecdotes that they tell us every day. However, even if the manga ends, they will continue to live their adventures, exploring new things and having fun in their school life with the lazy teacher Kazuho and “Dagashi-ya” Kaede.
They will continue to give smiles.
