Studio T-Rex, brand Bunnywalker.
"Ijirare: Fukushuu Saimin", "Ane wa Yanmama Junyuu-chuu", "Oide yo! Mizuryuu Kei Land" and so many more...the list would go on and on. What do they all have in common? The brilliant animation of course. This h*ntai "Uchi no Otouto" is no exception as well.
Let's start with the "story", even if that is certainly not the most important thing. Who doesn't know them: Shotas with a HUGE D. Forget everything else, those little boys are the real bosses. They often manage the impossible thing and you just have no chance against them. In this case, our little boy is the only one
...
who can make the three girls really feel good. Even if they have a boyfriend, in the end it is only size that matters and well...I guess we all know who'll win in the end. Can you count that part as NTR? Let's put it this way, at least it is significantly more enjoyable than the classic NTRs with Ugly Bast....
Okay, honestly, the story is certainly not the most important thing right? Also, "Incest is wincest".
After following the story casually, these two factors naturally play the more important role: sound and animation. How do these two harmonize with each other? "Bunnywalker" proves to us that they are one of the best in their business once again. The seiyuus did a great job and their voices match the plot and characters. They get to the point.
As already mentioned at the beginning, the animation is just awesome. It's fun to watch and that is certainly very important for us viewers...
In the end, what do we learn from this? As always, Shotas have the BIGGEST.
Definitely a must watch for every animation enthusiast.

Does your favorite football team puke you every weekend because they play like sh*t and lose every game?
Then this anime is perfect to watch good football finally. These girls are still hoping to score and give everything, even if they are already behind in the double-digit range.
After four episodes that have already been aired, a short interim conclusion can be drawn:
STORY:
By far the most interesting point. How does "joshi kousei" football work in Japan? Is there a future for this? The anime asks a few crucial questions that are not trivial to answer. We follow the day-to-day practice of a girls high school team. They
...
are weak but one day they also want to take part in the national championship. Our players improve step by step.
CHARACTER:
Fighting spirit. Many men's teams can learn from them. They don't do the "Neymar" or "Robben dive" which is nowadays essential for surviving on the field. They stick together and don't give up so easily. The rivalry pushes them to get even stronger and not the other way.
ANIMATION:
"Your Lie in April" wants its animation back. Even if they both have different studios and producers, it is a strong reminder of that. Overall, the animation is still expandable or the male characters have a secret magic trick how they can stick their heads through a fence.
SOUND:
OP and ED are not highlights, but they are good to listen to. You can't quite compare it with the Champions League (and luckily NO Super League) anthem though. We also get to hear the "soccer sounds" like tackle or those sorts, but the whistle of the referee reminds silent too often. Probably because of the missing VAR in the anime.
After four episodes it can be said that this is definitely a cure for the everyday football that we see on TV from our club. Those girls are still fighting until the end!
It will be exciting to see whether this small team will one day be able to play at the top.
(Written by a classic football fan who has to endure the suffering of his favorite club anew every week. But let's celebrate of the Super League fail these days together.)

Save the world with talking plush cats? Sounds like a dream to me. In "Mewkledreamy Land" however, this is the everyday life for our heroine Yume-chan. Thanks to her, citizens manage to get rid of all their bad and negative thoughts. Let's take a closer look at this Mahou Shoujo anime.
Before we start with the actual anime, it is interesting to know a little about the director of this project Hiroaki Sakurai. Anyone who briefly clicked on his name and took a look at his works will surely have discovered a pattern. Many there come from the “Fantasy Mahou Shoujo“ genre. One or the other
...
might have seen the anime "Machikado Mazoku" (The Demon Girl Next Door). Therefore, It can be assumed that “Mewkledreamy” also include all these typical elements.
It all starts on a normal day. Our protagonist Yume-chan wanted to go to school as normal, but a cute little cat plush toy fell from the sky out of nowhere. As if that's not already a miracle, it turns out that this little kitten can even speak human language and is called Mew. She explains to Yume that she is the chosen one to free humanity from all evil and negative thoughts. Thanks to a magical transformation, Yume is able to travel into the dream world of people. She has to fight against the nightmare of the concerned person there, from giant robots to "pumpkin man", all imaginable evil opponents are present. After a successful fight there is a "Dreamystone", which she has to collect and thus save the world.
Of course, every superhero needs loyal helpers to help him fighting against the evil. Marmaid Man, for example, has Barnacle Boy as a partner. Without him it would not be possible to win against Dirty Bubble or Man Ray. Our heroine Yume-chan has three closest friends: Maira, Tokiwa and Kotoko, whom she can always rely on. They are gradually getting their own kittens as well to support her. Of course, we cannot forget her childhood friend Asahi, he would really do anything for her. A true gentleman who is still hoping for Yume-chan's reaction when it comes to love.
After looking at the "good side", let's briefly look at the other side. The biggest opponent there is a little black cat named Yuni-sama. He has a magic wand that makes people's dark thoughts come true. The heartthrob and also Yume’s crush Sugiyama-senpai develop from a very nice boy to a dangerous opponent. He's a real boss who shouldn't be underestimated.
It can be said that the animations certainly make this to show what it is. Anyone who has already watched other Mahou Shuojo anime knows this world full of bright colors. This can be seen here as well. It's designed very nicely, the setting and the characters. Everything looks very matching in terms of color. The dark side is also revealed in the battles. It is a show that enchants you with color.
"Mewkledreamy" has 48 episodes and unfortunately only one OP and ED. Although these are very nice to listen to and it is a pleasure to enjoy the song, it would certainly have been better to have had some variety. The sounds in the anime, on the other hand, are very well designed. Even the small details such as a little transformation comes to light.
The first episode of the anime aired in April 2020 and almost exactly one year later after 48 episodes it was completed. It was a long drive, but I definitely enjoyed it. There are so many stories and backgrounds that even writing a paper would not be enough. In the end I only focused on the essentials. In addition to the mentioned characters, there are numerous supporting characters who stand out in their own way. While I have to admit that 48 episodes is a big project and the story can probably be told in 12 episodes, I enjoyed every single one of them. Relax yourself and simply enjoy. But It really is an anime where everyone has to decide for themselves if this sort of anime is a watch. Nevertheless, it can be said that even adults will also find their fun here. I would even say this is not a typical “kid anime”, so don’t get fooled by the tag. It's a quite shame that this anime has gotten into the background and hardly anyone knows about it.
With these words, see you all in the sequel of their adventure "Mewkledreamy Mix"!

Winter is the perfect time for camping. Would you agree?
In the winter season 2018 we all enjoyed the camping tour of our girls for the first time, three years later the long-awaited continuation is finally here and the comfiness continues!
We all already know what "Yuru Camp△" (don't forget the little tent) is about: Camping! The story is just as simple and ingenious as we know it from the previous season. But wait, we experience Nadeshiko camping alone for the first time without her friends. Can that go well? Camping items are also quite expensive, so she has to take a part-time job to be able
...
to afford all the trips. Of course, we get to see many new beautiful locations, the view is simply wonderful. Just having fun together and experiencing new adventures is the most important thing.
Our girls are just like we know and love. Nadeshiko, understandably, still loves food more than anything, while Rin is worried and takes care about her. A friendship for life. "Chibi-Aoi" or also called Akari is going on tour with the group as well. We experience the brilliant pranks of the sibling duo Inuyama even more. The co-president of "The Outdoor Activities Club" Chiaki can of course not be missing and Ena even bought a dog tent for her little Chikuwa. A heroine who thinks of the animal first instead of herself. The best teacher Minami is ready to drive our girls and accompany them on their camping. She sticks to the rule "Don't drink and drive", but her love for alcohol remains inseparable. Nade-chan's older sister Sakura showed us that she also likes to go on excursions and onsens are definitely a good choice for her (at least for us viewers). With Ayano Toki we get to know a new character. Aya-chan is Nadeshiko's childhood friend who has known her since middle school. The family members of the Kagamiharas and Shimas should not be missing of course. We know where Rin's love for her scooter and camping comes from. In short, everyone is back!
The landscape is also beautiful this time. You would love to go there yourself and see it. Whether sunset or sunrise, we experience all the beautiful moments from their camping. The food in particular looks so delicious. Regardless of whether it's just a simple cup noodle or hotpot with lots of ingredients, you get hungry by looking at it.
The music is as happy and relaxing as before. Perfectly suitable for this anime.
Had a hard day? Just want switch off and relax? Yuru Camp△ is the perfect anime therefor. The combination of the beautiful view, the simple tranquility and our loving characters makes Yuru Camp△ to THE anime we love. Get something nice to drink and eat and make yourself comfortable. In the end, comfy is everything!
Carpe diem - Seize the day and watch Yuru Camp△!

How would you describe "Wonder Egg Priority" in one word? "UNIQUE" would be my first thought. What is it all about? Let’s be honest, it's really hard to put it into words. Bully, hate, love, friendship etc. all these important aspects of our life play a major role. “Wonder Egg Priority” isn't just an anime, it's a life lesson.
Bullying is one of the worst things that can happen to someone. It takes away all your “joie de vivre”, often leading to suicide in the end. The pain is extremely deep when this person was very important to you. How far would you go to save
...
and "relive" such a human being?
"Break open an egg to change yourself and your future."
Our wonder story begins with Ai Ohto, a kinda special girl compared to her other classmates. Because of her heterochromia (color differences of the iris) she gets bullied a lot in school. Therefore, she hides at home and doesn't want to have anything to do with other people. Initially, she did not think having friends was important and put in little effort to make them. However, she eventually made friends with the transfer student Koito Nagase, who was similarly ostracized by their classmates. After Koito took her own life, Ai feels very guilty and for Koito’s sake she was ready to fight in the world of "Wonder Eggs".
As the word "wonder" suggests, these eggs aren’t just ordinary eggs that we buy every day in the supermarket. They include a person who must be protected at all costs from the "wonder killers", those are terrifying creatures who want to kill that person. If you manage this mission successfully, you are one step closer to rescuing your loved one.
Ai was the first girl to take on this brave task and fight all sorts of monsters. This was a lifechanging event for her since she met other girls who also had to go through a lot in life and lost an important reference person before. With Neiru Aonuma, Rika Kawai and Momoe Sawaki a quartet emerged that not only support each other in the egg thing, but also as friends in real life. Even if the whole situation was overwhelming and just crazy at first, they were able to keep going through help from each other.
Neiru is calm and quiet, often not actively engaging with others until they’ve gained her trust or her friendship. She is a hardworking, motivated, and diligent person. Although she is still young, Neiru is already the president of a large company. Her goal is to save her little sister and her background story is extraordinary…
“I'm Rika Kawai. Like "kawaii," 'cause I'm so cute.” Rika was once a junior idol who was part of an underground idol group. She met a fan who did everything to support her there. Her most loyal fan, Chiemi, did steal and other crimes for Rika. But one day Rika did an act that she regrets more than anything else. She called Chiemi "fatty" and never wanted to be seen with her again. Rika felt very guilty about this and understood the cruelty of bullying. She wants to protect her eggs so that she can make up for everything she did.
Let's take a look at the last main character: Momoe. She is a kind and polite girl, who is well-liked by many she meets. Momoe is very insecure about herself because of her masculine appearance. She is often mistaken for a boy, which is why many women fall in love with her. The only girl treated Momoe like a female person was her friend Haruka. She also confessed her love to her, but she was attracted by the feminine side of Momoe. Overwhelming of that, Momoe was so shocked that she dumped her and ran away. A short time later the disaster happened…
Every single character in Wonder Egg Priority plays an important role. Not only the people from the hatching eggs have a unique story, but also our two companions Acca and Ura-Acca. They are the one who introduced the girls to the "Egg World". In that world they are depicted as mannequins, but there was a time where both had a human form...All in all, the characters and the whole setting are definitely the elements where you want to know more about.
The story is already crazy enough and yet "CloverWorks" manages to add even more spice with the animation. Every girl has her own weapon, the form of those are more than just unusual. The fought monsters cannot be surpassed in creativity either. The epic battles with them are also portrayed in a brutal way that is definitely different from other animations.
The special creativity is shown again in the OP and ED. “Wonder Egg Priority” is based on many real locations in Tokyo. The transition from a real photo to the animation is the absolute highlight. A story, a moral and decisions with grave consequences develop from a simple egg. The small music group "Anemoneria" consisting of our four main characters has also found the perfect music and song for this.
The rest of the sounds, be it the environment or scenes where blood flows, everything fits.
What is "Wonder Egg Priority" in the end? To be honest, I can't answer it and I don’t know if there is a clear answer. It's so crazy and messy in a way that you can't get enough of it and 12 episode is certainly not enough to tell the whole story. But I agree that this anime is the seasonal sensation in terms of surprise. I never expected a plot like this. There is much more to it than just a simple anime, it also addresses important topics to us that we all have to take very seriously.
It is difficult to say whether this anime is something for you, as opinions are very divided on it. But I can recommend everyone to take a look, you will immediately notice that this is something special.
Finally, I would like to emphasize again: “Wonder Egg Priority” is UNIQUE.

"I love you." The three most beautiful words.
I've already written a lot of reviews, but this is the first time I write something about a h*ntai. Why did I choose "Kimi ga Suki"? The answer can be said in one word: wholesome.
Is "Kimi ga Suki" a normal anime? Certainly not, because the sex scenes are there. Still, it reminds you a lot of a wonderful romance anime. We experience four different couples in the two episodes who really love their partner more than anything else. It's just a short story, a snippet of their everyday life, but these are exactly the moments that define a
...
relationship. You get to know your partner even better through the little things.
Both episodes also start with a nice little OP song, which would also fit well in a romantic series.
The only small negative point in my opinion is the animation in fact. You cannot call it a "Master Piece", as we know from "Pink Pineapple" before, when it comes to that point. Nevertheless, all movements are well and clearly shown. The increase in speed during the important scenes are also clearly noticeable.
In conclusion, it can be said that "Kimi ga Suki" is one of the top choices for vanilla lovers. It's just wholesome, heartwarming, sweet and touching.

What's better than waifu ships fighting? You’re right, just watching our cute little girls have a lot of fun in their everyday life.
When the previous main part of Azur Lane came out in late 2019, the hype was really big. After all, Azur Lane is a very successful mobile game, I mean who doesn't want to collect all the different waifus. But the disillusionment came quickly. From the entire animation to a break of several months in between, this anime has suffered a lot of criticism. With "Bisoku Zenshin!" the studio "CANDY BOX" is trying to do everything better and they certainly succeeded in their
...
very first main work!
The plot in "Bisoku Zenshin!" is quickly told. It's a typical slice of life anime with a nice amount of fanservice. We experience the exciting and happy everyday life of our main characters Z23, Javelin, Laffey and Ayanami. Whether just going to a festival together or have a barbecue, there are always great moments where they can simply enjoy the day with their friends. It can be noted that they really enjoy their "time off from fighting". After all, our girls deserve a break too!
The personalities of the characters should already be known to many viewers, here we experience their typical characteristics again. We have a Z23 that worries a little more than the others and also takes care of her friends. Javelin who is always happy, cheerful and energetic. Our sleepy Laffey is an important part as well and Anayami who sometimes checks things a little slower and gives a cloud-cuckoo-land vibe off at times. All those can be seen here and that's how we like them. They're natural and cute in their own way.
The animation is certainly the point that gives us the most pleasure. The quality has increased significantly compared to the previous part. The colorful everyday life of our girls is sweetened even more with maid or bunny costumes. Even the classic “onsen scenes” are shown to us as well. A successful service for us fans!
The OP "Longing for!" and also the theme music "Mahiruiro Siesta" are very happy songs that you can simply enjoy. It's not as action-packed as the previously known "graphite / diamond". The soundtracks are just very relaxing to listen to. The background noises and also the voices or characters are on point.
"Azur Lane: Bisoku Zenshin!" is a perfect after-work anime. With its episode length of just 9 minutes, it is also significantly shorter than the standard time of 23-24 minutes. It's an anime to relax and enjoy. There's no such thing as a plot that requires a lot of thought, just watch your waifu ships and enjoy the fan service! All in all, that’s the Azur Lane we want!

With "Garugaku" the future generation of idol music lies before us! Are you looking for something short, relaxed with nice music? Then this anime is perfect for you!
Becoming a successful idol is difficult and takes a lot of hard work. Our student Toa had always had this dream. She entered the “St. Girls Square Academy” with great joy in order to come one step closer to her dream. But it quickly turns out that it will be an extremely difficult path. Nevertheless, she never gives up and makes friends with whom she found an idol group together. The competitors from the other groups are not
...
resting either and so our girls still have a lot of hard work ahead of them to make it to the top...
Even if the three idol groups (West², South², East²) are rivals and fight each other for points, they are all good friends in life. They get along very well and support each other. There is a special harmony between all of our girls. They all also have a small cell phone with their own A.I. personality who also give them important advices.
The art style is relatively simple and yet very cute. At first a little skeptical about it, I started to like the animations more and more after some time. Their appearances on stage are also very nicely designed. It's a colorful environment, just as you would imagine in the world of idols which put you in a good mood.
The next point is by far the special thing about this anime: The music. First of all, it is important to keep in mind that some of the seiyuus are only 14 years old (born in 2007). They are at the beginning of their career and for many it’s the first-time taking part in an anime. Of course, you can tell that the voices are not perfect and there are certainly still a few difficulties, but you can still clearly feel that they are always doing their best. This is mainly conveyed through their wonderful songs. They simply enjoy singing and dancing which puts the audience also in a good mood. All three idol groups have their own songs in the anime. Besides the few songs we get to listen to here, they have already released albums at their young age. You just have to love your music!
As already mentioned, at the beginning I had some doubts whether this anime is something for me because of the animation and the voices of the characters. But after a while you just feel very comfortable watching this. It is really fun and makes you happy. Each episode is barely 3 minutes long, making it the perfect anime for in between. Enjoy the everyday life of our girls and how they will become the next top idols soon! I'm sure we'll hear more from them in a few years again. I also wish for a second season, where they continue to make us happy with beautiful songs!

"No matter how many setbacks you suffer, don't let this encourage you and never give up!" - Toukai Teiou & Mejiro McQueen
As a professional athlete you get injured very often in your career, it is certainly no different with horses. They run, train and give their best every day as well to outperform the competitors. With the second season of "Uma Musume" our horse girls are ready to give everything again to become the very best and standing on the top!
In the first season we experienced the friendship and rivalry between "Special Week" and "Silence Suzuka". It is definitely advisable to watch that first before
...
moving on to the second season. However, it is not necessary to understand the relationship between our new main characters "Toukai Teiou" and "Mejiro McQueen". They are horse girls as well and also have the will to win. Everyone knows the feeling of defeats: it's frustrating and bitter. After a bad defeat, we often ask ourselves the question: “Is this the right thing for me? Should I continue at all?” Teiou and McQueen both are already considered to be one of the best horse girls the world has ever known. However, even they can’t keep the 100%-win rate and have to learn accepting defeats. When things don't go well in life, there will certainly be more setbacks. In their case they have to face very bad injuries which almost force them to give up their dream...
Teiou is a small-sized horse girl whose passion and enthusiasm for racing is nearly unmatched. She is always up for a challenge and willing to go all out to achieve victory. Although she aims for the best, she prefers to be happy than succeed with stress. She's a member of “Team Spica”, which includes not only our previous main characters “Spe-chan” and Suzuka, but also her best friend and rival McQueen. As one of the Mejiro family's pedigrees, McQueen has a strong sense of pride. She may initially seem as a blunt and cold person, but she actually cares about others and will offer help when needed, especially to Teiou. We experience their everyday horse girl life: how they train and fight to get better. They certainly have a rivalry with each other, but that is exactly what gives them the strength to improve. They support each other in every situation and even if it seems hopeless, Teiou and McQueen believe in miracles together. Their friendship is extraordinary and wonderful. Looking at this makes you really happy.
Many supporting characters are already known from the first season, so I would just like to briefly mention three new characters that I think are very touching: Rice Shower, Dia-chan and Kita-chan.
I have to admit that I really like Rice Shower. She is not only a shy beauty, but also someone who cares about other people. She wants to bring happiness and joy to her fellow men from the bottom of her heart as it is the meaning of her name "Rice Shower". To achieve this, she is also willing to put her own success in the background. She doesn't want others to be unhappy because of her. Thanks to her friends and also rivals, she finally realized that she had to deal with it. Rice prevented McQueen from winning three consecutive titles in the end and many fans were frustrated but no one could blame her for her that and everyone wants to see her winning even more.
Without Kita and Dia, the comeback of our injured Teiou would not have been possible. Both are still young horse girls who respect their role models very much. They symbolize how important the support of fans is, without them no athlete or horse girl can be successful.
Every horse girl has an individual competition suit in which they look gorgeous. Their run in them is perfectly animated, it is unbelievable to see how fast they are. Even in their school uniforms, they are very cute. Although we experience with "Studio Kai" a different studio compared to the first season, the quality has certainly not dropped, but rather the opposite. The environment is really beautifully designed. The small details such as "On which ear is the horse girl wearing an accessory?" can also be seen clearly.
It's nice to hear that the entire “Team Spica” is participating in the OP again. "Yume wo Kakeru!" strongly reminiscent of the OP "Make Debut!" from the first season. The race can start and after a successful race there is the absolute highlight for the fans, where the three best placed perform a song in an idol way. Well...that was the case before and unfortunately it is missed here sadly. The show after the race was great to watch. Although the ED "Komorebi no Yel", sung by Teio and McQueen is also very enjoyable to listen to and our main characters show their feelings in the lyrics, the variety is missing here. Uma Musume was not only an anime about sports, but also a very musical one. Unfortunately, that part is missing a bit in the second season despite a solo song by Teiou in between and an performance in the last episode which was still great. Nevertheless, outside the anime each horse girl has own character songs from the game.
The voices fit their character really well. The background sounds have also been chosen appropriately.
“Uma Musume” does not only show a wonderful friendship, but also teaches us a little lesson for life: Never give up! I'm still a fan of Special Week from the first season and I would love if she would have more screen time. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun following the story of Teiou and McQueen. It's also fascinating that all the races are based on real facts. I mentioned the “ear accessory thing” above. You can tell whether the horse was a boy or a girl in real. If our horse girl, like Teio, wears the accessory on her right ear, it was a male racehorse in the history. Vodka, for example, was a female horse. I think it's nice that such small details have been incorporated into the "Uma Musume" series. You can even learn a little bit about horse racing in general.
I highly suggest to watch the first season before starting this one if you haven’t done yet. The series is certainly a great watch for every slice of life, comedy or CHorseDCT fan. Enjoy a wonderful story about friendship, competition and also setbacks. In the end, I hope we'll see even more of their success in the future, probably with Kita and Dia-chan even.
Or as Special Week would put it:
"I'll bring a special dream to all my fans!"

Over two and a half years ago in 2018 we watched the daily life of our friends for the last time in the movie "Non Non Biyori Vacation", where they traveled together to Okinawa during the summer holiday. It's been almost six years since the entire second season aired, but all the wait was more than worth it in the end. In the winter season 2021 the studio "SILVER LINK." gives us hopes for better times with the long awaited third season "Nonstop". Welcome to the most idyllic anime series in history: "Non Non Biyori"!
The exciting everyday life of our four friends Renge, Komari, Hotaru
...
and Natsumi continues “nonstop” in their small village Asahigaoka. Living in the countryside, what kind of interesting things can happen there? Indeed, the answer is: not much. There are no amusement parks, cinemas or any other attractions for children. But that is exactly the point that makes "Non Non Biyori" so special and that magically casts us all under its spell. Despite the few options, our friends manage to think up something new every day and have a lot of fun. They use their creativity and invent funny games themselves. They are always happy and satisfied with the opportunities they have.
We know and love all of our four main characters very well. Everyone loves "Ren-chon" and her personality. She is very curious, but always considerate of her friends. With the introduction of the new girl Shiori, Renge can finally feel like a big sister. In Renge she has found a friend who helps her and always plays with her. Together they have a lot of exciting little adventures.
The rest of the supporting characters are also very well known to us. I mean who doesn't like the real MVP of the series: Komari’s and Natsumi's older brother: Suguru. A real man with zero words but extremely important actions. That’s why I just want to point out the relationship that is extremely evident this season: Kaede aka "Candy Store" and Renge. Our 20-year-old owner of the local candy shop appears significantly more this season. In most cases, her appearance is associated with Renge. Sometimes she brings her sweets or at another time Renge visits her in the shop. Despite the age difference of more than ten years, it's heartwarming what a beautiful background story these two have in common. Although Kaede sometimes comes across as listless, inside she is always happy to see Renge. Already during her high school time, she reluctantly would care for baby Renge in place of her feckless onee-chan, Hikage. Renge always tells her about new discoveries. While Renge grows and has new experiences, Kaede watches closely over her.
When it comes to art, "Non Non Biyori" is not necessarily about the characters, but rather the environment. It's perfect to see where all of this is happening. Everything is beautiful and peaceful. The idyll can be felt by every viewer. Their school is modeled after a real elementary school from Ogawa, Saitama. If you compare the photos with the animation, you are simply amazed. But even e.g every other crab, no matter how small, has been shown in detail. You can really only say that everything fits perfectly: The characters and the landscape, together they make up our beloved "Non Non Biyori".
Everyone who has already watched the other seasons of "Non Non Biyori" will surely have their type of music in the back of your mind. In "Nonstop" we hear songs that are in the same style. “nano.RIPE” is back with their OP song "Tsugihagi Moyou". A song which gives you the feeling that a new day is going to start and new beautiful things are being experienced. The ED "Tadaima" is sung again by our four main characters. It's very pleasant to listen to. The music is relatively slow and relaxed, there is no rush like in the big cities. Everyone lives peacefully and happily with each other. This idyll is unique.
But not only the songs have been selected perfectly, also the background noises from the small animals or trees can be heard clearly. Everything is so natural and beautiful. Together with the voices of the characters, it’s truly a masterpiece!
"Non Non Biyori Nonstop" was certainly the seasonal anime I was hyped the most. It’s wonderful to see our beloved characters again after all this long time. Nothing has changed, everything stayed the way we know and love. The series offers us relaxed daily life adventures with even introducing a new girl. The deepening of the background stories was a heartwarming success. Life in Asahigaoka can definitely go on like this!
I really recommend this anime to every slice of life fan. In case you haven't seen the previous parts, start with those first. The whole series of "Non Non Biyori" is a must watch!
Finally, of course, I hope that one day we'll see a fourth season again. Hopes never die!
