Binbou Shimai Monogatari is a wonderful series that is very heart-warming. You really feel the love in this series. Kyo and Asu have an extremely adorable relationship, you'll absolutely love them. I loved them similar to how family-love or loving my cat :3
You'll see the characters learn, and you will too. But the difference is, you will see the characters grow. They give you a lot of cute pointers to survive through the drought of life, these are during the commercial breaks. The one I distinctly remember (because it's also seen in Simpsons), "if you collect all the small soap bars, you can put it together to make one".
This anime made me smile, laugh, annoyed at times, and tear up with happiness. It's truly about life, and it encompases all possible feelings. At those annoyed times, the scenerios were so frustable, but it was in two episodes. I teared up at silly moments and I'm actually a bit embarassed about it...
The animation and art are pretty and fluffy. I love the blush spots on the characters. There were times when the animation was rugged-like when the characters walked, but it was very minimal (but still noticeable). Overall, good art and animation. The music is touching, but not well remembered. In contrast, the OP and ED songs are memorable because the melody is pretty unique, and the style changes within the song itself.
I didn't expect much of an ending, because each episode seemed to solve a different dilemma. In fact, I felt that it didn't really end. The style of this anime really does reflect our lives. Another different thing about Binbou Shimai Monogatari is that, while the episodes are seemingly one-shots, the outer characters reappear.
This anime was touching, and I looked forward to watching each episode. | |
