Let me start by saying that I enjoyed watching this show very much and that I watched the entire OVA while having my morning cup of coffee.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is a short OVA series that concentrates a lot more on telling, or rather implying a story through the images and experiences of the main character. Overall, the art style, while dated, is fairly decent. The characters in the story, while not developed much, are fairly believable (as in there are no overused tropes and the characters act in a similar way to actual people). I would say that the main reason that
...
someone should watch this anime is because you have some spare time and just want to relax and enjoy an anime that doesn't have any serious story on the surface.
That being said, the main reason I gave this anime a 7/10 instead of anything higher is because there is a significant amount of backstory implied that it simply never discusses in any depth at all. I tend to be someone who picks up all the tiny details and there are countless details in this anime that have no explanation (it may be covered in the manga but I am not sure about that). While I would have liked some coverage of the reason behind these details, I can also see that some people may like the mystery behind how these things came to be or why characters are acting as they are, so this is really only a downside for me since I will probably be pondering the why for the rest of the day. Other than my few complaints however, I will reiterate that this is a great relaxing anime if you have some time but, not a lot of time, to just sit and enjoy.
