Komatta Jiisan

Komatta Jiisan is not an anime that you'll walk away from with some new perspective, absolutely raving about why you love it, revelling in its genius...but one that will leave you with the dumbest smile on your face.

The show takes literally 13 minutes to watch, but it was 13 minutes well spent. This show is exactly what the synopsis says, and it revels in it. You know the punchline, and yet when the punchline comes, its still just as charming.

Komatta Jiisan left me with a glow after I finished it, even though it was 12 at night and I was exhausted. I just...honestly kinda ... love it.

I may not recommend this to any of my friends, but if you are wondering if you should watch this, DO IT. There's no reason not to.

This is my first time writing a review on MAL and I'm really happy that it is for this one.

We all love our anime to have great characters with great backstories and fight about which character is the best in the series and in all of anime. Not that there is anything wrong with that but, these days there is hype for a series and we end up watching a very disappointing anime that had potential but they tried too hard to cater to that deep, dark backstory and fail.

Komatta Jiisan is a breath of fresh air from all of that. It is about an ... old man flirting with his wife and trying to make her blush. It is very adorable, funny and addictive to watch. Each episode is only a minute long and is completely enjoyable.

I wanted to watch this like a commercial in between every episode of other anime I was watching but, ended up binging all the available episodes. This is a must-watch.

Anime shorts have one job to do, give the viewer a burst of emotion, something that happens fast and is just as fleeting. Komatta Ji-san does this perfectly. The story is, of course, non-existant. It's not about a story, it's about a feeling. An old grandpa who is still in love with his wife and puts the moves on her every chance he gets. It's super cute! Of course, because it is a short I can only rate it a 6 0 since well there is no story, the art sometimes feels like they are just moving puppets around and ... the overall quality is a bit lackluster. Having said all that. this is worth a watch because the cute factor can't be denied, and it did manage to wring out a few chuckles out of me.

Overall I recommend this if you have couple of minutes on a busy day.
