    masterpiece

    I do not understand how people rate animes. Episodes are above 8, latest ones are above 9, even 9.9 and overall rating is 7.5 ~ ish. I guess there are some people who just blindly rate animes and there are who actually watch it and rate it then.

    Anyway, the anime is a real masterpice, one of - if not the best - in the season. It was really hyped because of the manga and for a reason. It is really unique, I loved every episode of it. It was funny and sad at the same time, altough it is fantasy it was very-very realistic! It teaches things about family, marriage, work, love, children education. I highly recommend to watch it :)

    What a Peak, And MASTERPIECE!! ✨🙌

    Here is my Review, the whole scene is great except for the live action is great too tbh, The music and the story, it really gives me warm my heart and seeing them happy their mother to get move on for their family to give them encourage it makes me really sad the last ending of live action, I just wanna rewatch it again.

    What to do when your late wife returns as a ten year old girl!

    Keisuke is a middle aged man who lives with his adult daughter, Mai. They haves never really got over the death of his wife, Takae, ten years previously. Then one day Marika Shiraishi, an elementary school pupil, arrives at his door claiming to be the reincarnation of Takae! Understandably they find this hard to believe but soon accept it. How will her arrival change their lives and how will Marika's mother react when she finds out?!

    The central premise could so easily lead to one of those shows that head firmly into inappropriate territory... thankfully this is nothing like that. We get a tender story where the return of Takae as a young girl helps her husband and daughter finally get over the loss as well as improve Marika's relationship with her mother. The animation and character designs are both good. I suspect that unlike most shows that are watched and soon forgotten this one will stick with the viewer. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anime fans looking for something gentle and a little different from the vast majority of shows.

    These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
