Alps no Shoujo Heidi

Well i don't usually write reviews about animes, but this one is barely even about the anime itself. There is times that i encounter with people that underestimates animes like Heidi because it's been a long time since it was revealed or you probably saw it on TV when you were kid and else. I'm not trying to say that the time it aged makes it valuable and entertaining but you just sometimes need to stop
searching thoroughly for an anime or movie, you may seen Heidi and thought ''It was a show for kids since it was published in 70's or it's probably not ... even decent becuase it is old''. That's why you need to stop, because whenever i watch something people consider as old or childish it most likely appears to be a show that is meant to be for everyone with it's scenes that makes you think about the characters situation and empathize with them. I mean you probably can understand me if you've watched terrific movies or series before. With its drama and moments, Heidi is particularlly same with those. Whether you like or hate literary of art, Heidi is one of the best things you can experience in your life even if you don't like watching things outdated. I basically would recommend you this and think you should at least give it a try. Sometimes, when you are looking for good things in your life, I would like you not to make choices based on people's evaluations and not to miss the big things that seem small to you. Because sometimes a huge carrot grows in the smallest hole.

Heidi is a show with a lot of problems but also a lot of charm. A lot of it's problem actually are part of it's charm even, it really feels like a kind of anime that you COULDN'T make anymore in these days or at the very least would not be produced by any large studios.

For 2/3rds of the series basically nothing fucking happens OR it doesn't really matter much in the long run and could have been easily skipped.

The animation quality switches drastically from episode to episode. Sometimes you'll get an absolute insanely good shot (for TV cel animation in the 1970s) and ... other times the cels were covered in so much dust/hairs that it was distracting, especially during scenes where the characters would just be sitting down and talking with little to no movement body wise.

Personality wise each character is incredibly simple, even one note at times. I won't mention who, but there is a very prominent character that is introduced midway through the series who I expected to gain some character development and stop being such a fucking BITCH all the time but...She just stays basically the exact same for the next 30 episodes??? Although I suppose her behavior becomes more comedic, and I can't deny that I laughed at her outbursts.

On top of everything there are some issues due to the culture of the time, it's nothing too large but there is blatant child slavery so, uh, y'know. There's also some minor sexism (though, for it's time it's pretty progressive overall)

I still enjoyed it, but I have to admit that my taste is a tad difficult. I wouldn't reccomend it exactly...but calling it bad doesn't seem right either. I'd say give the first few* episodes a watch at least, as they are pretty comfy and just pure slice of life (up until Heidi leaving to Frankfurt specifically) After that I reccomend watching the movies instead as they are much more compact story wise.

..........................................................................................................................................................This is a story ,which is more enjoyable for kids which i dont recommend this to any teenager or anyone older. Its a lovely story and the art is good ,but its not a must watch u can watch it when u bored just for the old times and the nostalgy ,i would recommend this for ppl to show it to their kids which would love it.The story is kid friendly and funny at times so it would be a good choice for a parent to show it to their kids.If u havent watched it while u were younger dont waste your time ... on it
