Mixed Feelings
Well, this is a bit of an odd ball.

It's the stereotypical CGDCT, with pottery, that is nothing more than just product placement and advertisement for the city of Tajimi, Gifu. Unsurprisingly, when you research about Tajimi's attractions as a Gaijin tourist, Mino-yaki ceramics will be the first thing that pops up since it's very highly regarded over there. And this short show attempts to replicate all of that in the similar "tourist attraction" mood.

As for this show, like I've said, it's just CGDCT with making mugs that slowly evolve into more ambitious earthenware like bowls and sculptures. There's nothing that makes this show stand out, unless you feel like you're watching something akin to NHK's educational content (which this does not air on that channel). Grab some kids and make sure they're glued to the screen and see them go in awe.

One thing's for sure: everything feels monotone at first, until the Minoware comes around and pops the livery of the show to color. That's just the extent of this show, with both an anime and live-action part, teaching you how to make mugs with characters and the actual Seiyuus who voiced those characters in real life. Sure works well for advertisement at a wrong time, but garnering interest this will wane.

Overall, it's fine across all boards. Feel free to hit this one if you really don't have time, or just want to find something for the younger generation to learn while studying at home in the current global situation.
