Nyanpasu!
"Non Non biyori" — This is one of the best "slice of life" I have ever seen.
This story tells us about the countryside where lives our heroines and where they get fun activities. The most important thing that I understood is that story teaches us to enjoy little things. After all, these little things make up our lives, and is be able to enjoy them is very important.
I liked all characters: Hotaru-chan moved out of Tokyo to this rural hinterland, and now she lives here with her new friends and trying to get how to live in the countryside after living in a big city. Here everything looks different than a city, only five students in the whole school or strange things like CD players or there are shops without a cashier and even a worker. Hotaru-chan loves her sempai Komari-chan. Komari-chan is the oldest of them all, and she has one of the short heights of all. Because of this, she tries to look older and correspond to her ages, but sometimes she has difficulties with it due to her village nature, and it looks cute and funny. Also, Kotaru-chan has a younger sister Natsumi-chan who sometimes remind some rebel or even exuberant kid, and often she is lazy to do homework. However, she is a very thoughtful and kind girl. And there is also one girl named Renge-chan, she is a first-grade student. She is a curious and calm girl who learns the world every day. She does not afraid to ask strange questions and do strange things. I would say she is a pearl of this anime. Also, there are a lot of interesting minor characters.
To cut it short, it was love at first sight. I fell in love with these girls and their stories. Ever background frame from this anime, I wanted to set it as my desktop background. I listened to every opening and every ending with great pleasure. Every series made me smile, and I got pleasure.
Of course, I understand that some people would seem that it all is tedious, and many will say so, but only a few connoisseurs appreciate it. Shame this anime still is underrated, but you can fix it. I recommend watching this and making your own opinion about it. And I will watch the second season, hoping it will be the same cool.
