Komoda desu~
This story was one of the most relatable, mesmerizing, thrilling, heart wrenching stories I have seen in a long time. Each character seemed to have a certain challenge or aspect of their personality that just resonated with me, something that seemed familiar and unique and genuine all at once.This town was full of differences. Loud, quiet, annoyed, anxious, friendly, shy, frustrated, sneaky, helpful, curious, etc... The whole wide rainbow of different personalities was included in this show; and with such a wonderful cast that was chosen, it's no surprise to me! While it does list a main character here, I really think the entire cast was a main character, as well as the town itself. It was really nice to see how beautiful, different, and similar the Japanese country side is.
This was an uplifting sort of show, inspiring the townspeople (and viewers) to "do their best where they are planted", sort of. While the show gathered an incredible cast, it confuses me as to why there was only seven episodes, and why the last episode sort of feels cut short. No cliffhanger, per say; but... No answers. Seeing the different sides of people during each episode was fascinating, as well; taking "people watching" to a whole different level. There were a couple of episodes where I thought "oh so its gonna go this direction".... But nope! I was completely wrong! I tried to guess a few scenarios throughout the show and each time I was wrong. One episode had me laughing way too hard, but a word of warning, be prepared with tissues for a couple of episodes.
I feel like this story had more depth to it than just seven episodes. It feels like something was trying to get started but then it was shut down at seven episodes. Whatever that "something" was, I couldn't tell you, however so I wonder if other viewers will notice or not. The story was told beautifully, the heart and joy that went in to making each episode was almost tangible. If you're a fan of (pretty much) any actor/actress in this show, or the slice-of-life, inspiring/uplifting, good versus evil, friends to enemies genres, or just want to see some gorgeous Japanese country side, then definitely give this show a try!
