Kotaro vive solo

I mean it's a four-five year-old living alone, but damn it if it's not the most heartfelt, heartbreaking, sweet and sad thing.

This anime was not on my radar at all. I assumed it was some sort of absurd comedy since it's a small child living alone but that's not it.

Kotaro is the perfect balance of a mature, responsible adult but also a naive child which makes his character so sad. He is such a wonderful soul whose past was filled with tragedy. He affects all the lives around him. We get to see life through his eyes and as an audience understand the tragedy but he at times seems oblivious or sees it through a different lens. It is because of his perspective we get to see a different approach to something that would normally be considered soul-crushingly sad. Kotaro manages to make the best of things. He sees the best in people and means well. He thrives in the friendships he makes. The other characters also reflect off him perfectly. All of them take care of him and they all grow into a family.

The anime is sweet and definitely worth watching. It doesn't make light of certain issues but never focuses depressingly on them. In a way Kotaro simply keeps moving forward and makes friends along the way.

I saw this anime without any expectations. I did not think this anime would highlight so many themes of mental illness due to trauma. Important lessons not only from Kotaro but from everyone that later on contributed on his life. Never reviewed anything here before but I just can not stress enough how beautiful this was. I appreciated this anime.

The anime is very good, it has very pleasant characters and the creative things about characters that they are not perfect every character has its own problems and issues and it has fine way to present new characters, the dramatic moments are so sad and emotional, but the comedy moments are also funny and hilarious, this show has shown me a great balance between the drama and comedy and that is one of the wonderful and marvelous strengths at the show. Its deserves and worth watching.

No giant robots, kaiju, epic battles or spaceships here. This is an anime about a young child prodigy who manages to live on his own after his parents disappear. As the episodes pass he makes new friends, changes lives, and encourages all those who meet him.

While the main character is somewhat difficult to believe (might have been easier to swallow if he was a 10 year old instead of a 4 year old), he is well-developed enough throughout the series to become endearing.

A delightful and heart-warming change from over-used anime themes. In place of action-adventure this has story and character development. Each episode is its own plot, developing a theme and leaving the viewer with a moral lesson or special insight to life. Very well done.

I saw the Trailer and my reaction was meh. The animations looked cheap and it felt like a light comedy with cheap jokes.

So I gave it a shot, I was in the mood for light comedy. The Story is about a 4 year old that lives alone and befriend his neighbours, he acts like a grown up, so far sounds nothing special.

But here comes what surprised me. It's a Drama series, heart warming, serious topics, a boy that is just a boy that had to grow up fast and how he influences all around him.

This series really hit a nerve on me, i was blown away, how the Story was told, i watched every episode with a big fat smile on my face, so many sad and serious topics, seen from different angles that made me almost cry.

Kotaro is such a sweet charackter and would never have thought that i would like this kind of series.

The german dub is perfect, only 10 episodes and I liked it even though my most waited series is The Boys season 3.
