Review:
Is letting go of someone really that hard or is it an agonizing situation that can tear about your relationships? Well thanks to the series we find out, it’s neither; just a heart-warming emotional ride that tugs at your heart strings.

One of the first things you’ll notice just after you load up the first episode is the, art style which uses a simpler appearance that feels not, only refreshing but also has a more realistic look in the features department like normal shaped eyes and body proportions, which I felt allowed me to connect with characters more effectively, making the overall tone of the anime have a greater effect on myself, plus some amazing looking background art as well.

However, the animation is also something you’ll notice right off the bat as it can look a little unwelcoming being very simple with very little moment, which will I know it’s on purpose it can throw a lot of people off as looking poor in quality.

Though I felt that this can be forgiven thanks to the rest of the show’s overbearing positives, with one such point being the amazing soundtrack used through-out the series, as it really makes each episode feel just right, cool smooth ambience, making myself feel warmer as I watched; not to mention a great opening song that gets you ready for the touching show. Not only that but as said before, this series very heart-warming with each episode containing loveable stories that handle the series’ theme of “Letting Go” incredibly well, with just the good amount of variety in each episode, making each story feel unique and original.  

Take this and some well wrote characters with realistic but fun designs and you’ll get a show that I felt was really worth watching, even if it a little on the short side. I recommend you watch this if you’re looking for a quick relaxing series, that easy and fun to watch.

Setting/Story: 7.4
Characters: 7.2
Art/Animation : 6.9
