** Another propaganda anime for raising birth rates in Japan. Guy from Tokyo goes back to hometown, finds and takes care of a young boy who is actually a tanuki. Hijinks ensue. Also, first anime I've seen with a Maserati in it. -YYY | ** Another propaganda anime for raising birth rates in Japan.

** I had it on the list before, this was a show that spent 11½ episodes in an extended flashback. I took it off the list because I didn't feel I could push half a story, but now the second season is airing, which is more like the actual second half of the show. Now that it looks like the story is actually going to get completed, I think it's very much a viable option. Consider this to be a historical drama centered on the art form of live storytelling, and the tribulations life throws at the characters as they try to learn and ply their art. For me this show stands out as being a genre I don't usually watch, yet I found very absorbing and something I was/am looking forward to each week. --maxb | ** I had it on the list before, this was a show that spent 11½ episodes in an extended flashback.

** Retrospective thoughts: I am sadly disappointed that in the end, S2 just didn't live up to the very high standards set by S1. It was still good, but I can't claim that it was awesome and a natural series to schedule any more. This person: https://myanimelist.net/profile/ItIsIDio/reviews has written a long review eloquently articulating an opinion similar to mine, so read that if you want more detail. | |||

** A school rom-com on the silly side. More amusement than actual romance. The male protagonist is a bit of a bland nothing character, but I think that's basically the point - he's just there to enable the shenanigans. This is the show doing three 4-episode arcs each with a different girl - though, it seems the girls are going to occasionally cross into each other's stories. To my mind this is more slot 4/5 material than slot 6. --maxb | ** A school rom-com on the silly side. More amusement than actual romance.

** Retrospective thoughts: Male protagonist did actually turn into some semblance of an actual character by the end. This was a very fun series. The final episode ended up more in the romance genre, but I'd still try to get this into the comedy slot if we don't have a better contender. | |||
