    Uninspired

    I found the story is set up well, focusing on the relationship between a father and daughter... But then get 101 uninteresting and mostly tangential to the story side quests.

    Way too many episodes pass by before the show finally returns to the set up... But by that time i don't care anymore and the resolution isn't interesting.

    This is plagued by poor writing and an inconsequential story. On the upside the Japanese it is on the easier side :).

    I would highly recommend watching Oshin, Carnation, or Totoneechan instead.

    Another issue is that this story takes place over 4-5 years only so there is no way it cam match the character development of similar series running 50+ years.
