How does one make something so perfect?
For some reason, I decided to watch the OVA and start watching the show, even though I have plenty of good stuff on my hands as it is. Fuu-pyon/Potte is such a sweetheart, this story made me all teary-eyed more than once;
Tamayura manages to convey those oft-talked about feelings in a very believable and humble manner. This is already one of my favorites -- I simply cannot find anything wrong with it.
Therefore I was even more delighted to see that this will be a TV series and not another OVA; I'm hoping for a lot of episodes...like 26 (but that's probably not gonna happen). I think the opening did a great job. Just as with the other characters,
Tamayura seems to have perfectly fleshed out Chihiro in a few effortless strokes of its gentle artistic brush. Setting the story in the past was a great choice, it was so nice to see how Fuu-pyon discovered her love for photography. For such an anonymous studio, the art and animation are top notch, even better than the OVA's.
This makes me wonder if I should look for more G-rated animes...
