I stumbled across this anime accidentally. At first I wasn't sure about it, but it turned out to be pretty enjoyable. There were some heartwarming moments in it and I liked the characters (with the main character's mother, who only appeared in the last episode, as an exception, she annoyed me so much). However, that is as far as it goes: a cute, heartwarming, slice of life story. It was nice entertainment, but not the kind of series that continues to linger in my mind after I've finished watching it. Not to mention it seemed to lack a certain level of depth that could have made the story much more interesting.

Overall I'd say that with a decent animation style, a decent soundtrack and a decent story, this anime is just fine, and I'd recommend it if you're just looking for some lighthearted entertainment. If you're looking for something more than that, however, this anime will not live up to your expectations.
