Kotaro Lives Alone

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.

It's a slow poison, gets in your heart so slowly and comes out as wet and tears through eyes.

It's so amazing to see how a so simple storytelling can have this much of impact. No big budget animations nor over the top details drawing per frame, just pure emotional journey.

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.

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 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.
