When I think of rural anime, the first point of comparison that comes to mind is Non Non Biyori, though outside of the rough sketches of their premise, they don't really have much in common. Naru's pretty cute, and I'm also a fan of Tama. Anyone who engages in the creative arts is a favorite character of mine, and it's another chance for Rumi Okubo to do her manic voice. The show's overall well produced, and I can see why it has a lot of appeal, very pleasant to watch, but I don't think I'd place it among my favorite shows of the season. It's not among the worst, either.
Glad Funi finally got it up. Now they need to release Jinsei at some point, we know they have it.
