In all seriousness, I had a pleasure, and enjoyment watching this series. It's not a super amazing show, but it doesn't have to be. In seasons where you'll have violent and epic encounters. Weirder than weird. Some usual sports anime, and many, many. MANY Isekai animes. Sometimes you just need a show that is harmless, cute, wholesome, and so much more in that regard. It's the kind of show to sit back, relax, and enjoy.
Story and characters: 8
While on the surface, some of the characters do come off as one note, but is that really an issue? As one pointed it out, it helps that we're seeing Nishimura's journey. Her first friend, her first proper friend, and how actually handles having a first firend. I think too, what helps this show a lot, is it's tone. If this was a more older show, I doubt it would've hit as much. But more the fact they're quite young, it stretches out to more wholesome and cute. You can already picture Nishimura as she grows,being more confident and cute, and it's all thanks to her clueless friend. Throw in some antagonising characters here or there,and a few family members, and you've got a good solid line up of characters.
There isn't a lot to understand to really get the point of the show. It's as if we're watching a more sweet and wholesome child friendly version of Another, and instead of deaths, its filled with nothing but sweet things, and long may that continue.We're watching kids being kids, and even tackling real feelings, as we see through Nishimura's doubts and worries about herself from her bullies. Seeing her overcome such and more,all thanks to her clueless friend. How so god damn sweet.
Art and sound: 6
I' gonna say it out right, as there is bound to be those who'll point it out. The art style is certainly different then what you would see in anime. Is it ugly? Not atall! It's a nice style, and while it's not amazing, it fits perfectly with the show, and it's relaxed colours even feel different than normal anime. The animation also flows quite nicely, with character reactions and voices all sounding good. I do admire the OP to boot as well.
Jijou wo Shiranai is an adorable show, and is a sweet watch. I'd recommend it for those who want something sweet to enjoy.
