It is remarkable when you can watch a show and automatically know it will be something you keep with you forever. I stumbled across this title on Netflix one night and decided to dive in (as I'm a big fan of anything Japanese and cute) and I was NOT expecting HALF of the quality this show has. First of all, the stop-motion art style blends beautifully with these characters and story. It is executed in a way that makes you constantly recognize how fantastic it is. On top of that, the writing and storylines are surprisingly real and mature. This isn't a gag-for-laugh show. This probably isn't even a comedy. This is a heartwarming book with chapters focusing in on dead-end jobs, the changing of the seasons, and the uncertainty we have about where our lives are going. What makes this show an undeniable 10 (I wish I could rate it even higher) is that it is all about simplistic joy; the happiness that hides in the littlest of things. You'll watch the show, grow jealous of her romanticized cartoon life, then realize all of the things she has are things you do too. This show reminds you how beautiful life really is.
Do yourself a favor and watch it. Even just an episode (they're only like 12 minutes!). You'll be beginning for a season 2.
