| Aww, Rooney ought to look after C018, and Warumono should finally get himself a pet panda. C018 struggles to find meaning in their existence. They plead with Rooney to destroy their useless self, but Rooney eagerly anticipates welcoming C018, unusually cheerful. A young oak tree spirit eagerly awaits reunion with a cherry blossom girl. This year, he practices confessing his feelings repeatedly. As cherry blossoms start to bloom, the time for reunion with the cherry blossom girl arrives. During a holiday outing, Warumono encounters Red once again. Just as they prepare for battle, Red surprises them with a gift. Switched up the ending song for the big finale. No surprise, Warumono picked a panda bed for C018. He still loves pandas, even with a cat. The two kids' story ended nicely - they're both tree spirits now. Cute. I thought the boy was human, but this twist is better. The villain became a wingman. Poor Mr. Intermediary of Spirits, that's his job now. Good thing he saved Red with an umbrella once. Nice repayment from Red, lol. Saw the rangers one last time, fighting the organization. Refreshing change from them just enjoying their days off like usual lol. Warumono will keep fighting the rangers while still enjoying his days off, of course. Just a chill feel-good show, gonna miss it. Won't be getting my weekly dose of pandas though. Meh. |
 |
| Once again, both the OP and ED exchange places for the second and last time, this feels appropriate for the finale. The story of the cat robot C-018 continues while Warumono is thinking about how to give it care as a pet, it being a reject is not good at all. Despite Rooney having installed it with a GPS to track its movements, it doesn't want to live anymore. But it's not for C-018 to choose, but Warumono...on choosing a bed for it, and he goes for the panda pet bed. Reluctantly, Warumono takes it home...and C-018's fine with it. Back to the Spring boy who's waiting for the cherry blossom tree to bloom so that he could see the girl again, it didn't bloom. Instead, Warumono respects his conviction by giving him something to eat, and it's also something which the girl likes as well: the Onigiri rice balls. Oh well, wait another year he will, and with that, the cherry blossoms begin to slowly bud. The next is pretty much the same, but with meals for both him and the girl. The only thing he needs to practice: his confession, which she comes with time...except that Warumono is sitting in-between them as an interpreter, like the string telephone. Is he a goddamn 3rd party lols...there's no barrier between both children. On the streets, Warumono senseing Ranger Akatsuki Red on his day off, and no matter where he goes, Red will always be there somehow with the same loss of direction. Still though, the confrontation between the two can't be stopped, but Red giving him a gift from the umbrella, it's a nice gesture, as well as the Ranger party family sleep portrait. But the good times don't last, for the Evil League confronts the Rangers with all hands on deck. For all the bad in life, there's the good: a mundane day off to see more pandas and live life to the fullest. Such a calm and chill slice-of-life, feel good series, easy to enjoy and comforting to watch. |

| Oh hey, they changed the OP and ED places again. I think it works better this way. If you think about it, this cat is literally suicidal. Aaahhh the part with the tree spirits, or whatever they are, was so WHOLESOME and SWEET AHHHHH I love them 9/10 Loved this. So relaxing and wholesome, and I love literally every character. Amazing how they were able to make this from a manga where most chapters are around 5 pages long. I recommend reading it to everyone too. ...except that they adapted all currently translated chapters (I just checked, not a manga reader). So read it if you know Japanese :p I want to watch more iyashikei (healing-type) anime now. Thankfully we have Yuru Camp△ Season 3 next season! |

| well i really liked this show manily because of the day off and relaxing i can relate but dude i really want a movie made on those tree spirits they just look soo sweet and seeing black he looks the opposite of Mr.Villian anyway i liked this makes me feel relaxed and i need a season 2 |

| Warumono unironically has a killer design for a slice of life character. He belongs in a shonen of something 🤣🤣 I’d say overall comparing this to the obvious other show too cute crisis me personally I prefer Warumono over Liza as an mc and honestly mr villains day of was imo a far better watch. Too cute crisis was great but I feel like it got a bit over the top with Liza gushing over every cute animal she saw. While with Warumono he’s far less over the top when he sees a panda. The only thing I’d say I like more about too cute crisis was Yozora. He unironically is better than anyone in this show. Overall a good show 8/10 |
| it was fine, nothing much to say, a fluff anime. The only chapter worth of mention was the rangers chapter. 6/10. |
| This show was such a relaxing vibe, loved it. Now I'm kinda sad that's over 🥲 Won't expect a second season, but if we get one that would be a very welcome surprise 🤞🏻 7,5/10 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Such a cute finale to what was arguably the most wholesome and coziest show of Winter 2024. Really was pure slice of life fluff, something we need more of in this hectic era. LOVED the segment with the tree spirits using Warumono-san as a pretend telephone operator, passing their feelings on through him. Glad they finally got be honest about their feelings and got a happy end. Good to see the rangers again in the finale as well and man Warumono’s villain form is too cool for a slice of life show lol. I would love another season of this, doubt we get it tho :/ |

| a fun last episode we got to see a lot of the charas from all the past episodes, including the rangers, the tree couple, the panda kid or the shop people while this anime was an easy watch, i'll admit that this was too slow on normal speed, being the only anime i ever watched at 2x speed lmao either way, a decently fun show, watching people bond with animals will never get old (probably) that being said, i'll rate it a 6/10 and i really wonder if i'd ever watch another season lol |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Interesting one, for a few episodes there in the middle, I thought the Panda stuff was getting a little stale, but they managed to mix things up and focus on different characters enough, where I finished the show without that sort of mindset anymore. 8/10. |
| Not bad for a SoL. I'd watch more but I'm not going to despair if no S2. I thought it was a cute show, I like the pandas, the robot cat, and most of all the tree ghosts. |
 |
| The title of the episode - "Somewhere on this planet" looks fitting for the cute love story between the both trees. ♡ Also the rangers finally showed some action and pls. dont disturb our black. A wonderful anime with wonderful characters comes to an end. But it was a journey to remember :) |

| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| One of my favorites of the season, and the ending was a nice sending off for the series. Very chill and wholesome, I will miss it. |
 |
| Overall I thought this anime was just fine, and sometimes even boring. The episode about the Rangers was the only one that was remotely interesting to me. I think that maybe slice-of-life anime isn't my thing. |

@SaintCelestian I read your post in the other thread and I wouldn't write off the genre after just one show - especially not this one. In my opinion you really jumped into the 'hardcore' side of SOL with it and it's really not a good introduction or representation.
It did have stretches that definitely were quite boring and I think the reason why is partly because the manga has a lot of very short (just a few pages) barely connected chapters. It probably would have worked better with 5 - 10 minutes long episodes.
I can recommend something like Tamako Market, Non Non Biyori or Yuru Camp. Hyouka or Barakamon are good options too if you want a little bit more of an underlying 'plot'. These generally have a lot more going for them and are way more approachable, imo.

| @kelpforest Thank you for the recommendations. I randomly chose this anime to dabble in SoL because I thought the concept was interesting. I'll definitely give the other ones you listed a shot! |
|
| Sweet, relaxing and sometimes relatable anime. 7/10 |
 |
| Never really thought I'd end up enjoying something like this as much as a I did. It just has the Sunday evening vibe (even tho I'm not watching this on Sunday evening rn but whatever). |
| I'm so pleased that the tree spirits had their happy ending! I keep forgetting that they're “enemies” lol Overall, I had tons of fun watching Mr. Villain enjoying his days off. |
 |
| Honestly this might be one of my favorite animes of the season. And i love how the last episode revisited all the characters that we've seen throughout the season. I really hope there is a second season even if the chances might be slim. |
CANDY:  |
| This was a good way to end the season! I loved how this went. I wasn't a fan of the anime overall, but this left a positive impact. I'm glad we got an update with the tree spirits. Are the rice triangles actually fertilizer since they're trees? Lol Robotic cat even found a "fur"-ever home. I normally like SoL but this was a very strange one. I don't expect a second season, but I think I would watch it anyways I liked the little updates on the side characters. His obsession with pandas was a little over the top most of the time so that got annoying pretty fast. I liked the visuals such as the sunsets and the aesthetic of the buildings. It was really slow for no reason. I watched most of the episodes at least 1.5x speed Overall, 5/10. |

As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| This was such a wholesome anime I loved it so much and will miss it a lot. Now my cheeks hurt from grinning too much throughout the whole time xd. I really loved the romance between the Sakura girl and the tree spirit boy and the interactions between Mr. Villain and Pink and the Konbini clerk. I really hope season 2 comes out in the future when they have more materials 💖 |
| Took me about three and a half weeks but I got here lol, I was going somewhat quickly through anime for a while but the month of August I decided to slow down a bit, and really this is the type of show that’s nice to take slow, it was a great SoL fill that would brighten my day. This final episode was among the best of the show too, it didn’t have many panda gags or feature the convenience store for old time’s sake like I wanted but it was still a great one. The situation with the robot cat was solved wholesomely, the tree spirits had that adorable reunion while using Mr. Villain as a telephone lol, and we got to witness one of those battles between the villains and rangers which we didn’t get much of throughout the show, I do kinda wish the whole episode could have been dedicated to SoL goodness but it is cool to see the Super Sentai aspect of the show every now and then lol. And at the end we did get to see a lot of the side characters we haven’t seen in a while as the OP played, I really liked that, felt like a proper sendoff to the show despite it having the usual SoL ending where life just goes on. And that was it, it may not have had the best production ever but it didn’t really need it, they did a lot with what they had, they managed to make a really chill and cute show here. I really enjoyed the antics that Mr. Villain would get himself into, whether it was something really relaxing or annoying for him, it was a lot of fun, and I also really enjoyed the side characters that added a lot to the show, I especially enjoyed the clerk girl and the rangers, not to mention the various kiddos that Mr. Villain positively impacted. And one thing that was a bit surprising to me was the episode focused on the rangers, show was pretty much all SoL besides that, but I think it was a necessary episode to add more depth to the conflict going on in the background, as well as giving a lot more characterization to the rangers themselves, I especially liked Pink, for more than just because she’s cute lol. The show also had a very nice OP and ED, which they actually switched around in this episode and the rangers episode, which made me realize how interchangeable they are lol, they were very fitting for the show in both slots. I’d definitely be down for another season of this, I really like these shows that put a twist on the Super Sentai/Power Rangers and this was another to add to the list, wish I could have hit it during Winter 2024, but better late than never right lol. I’ll have to return to this season once again in the future because there’s still plenty of shows I missed out on back then that I think are worth checking out. |
