Here are some anime reviews. Enjoy!
Kotaro lives alone: This series gave such a bad first impression. Simple art-style + precocious kid = wacky high-jinks! is how I thought it was going to go, but it really goes in hard with why a kindergarten kid ends up living by themselves, and it firmly places itself in the "dramedy" category for me. The series can get a little too sappy, after-school-special-y in some storylines, but when it just lets something be sad, it was heartbreaking for me. It is also funny, but it is clear by the end of the series that he comedy is pretty much there to make you care about these people and the found family they created. Best surprise anime of the year for me so far.
Slow Loop: In a genre with recent entries like Laid Back Camp and Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater, this has a lot of competition. Unfortunately, I don't think it really lives up to those other series. It does have interesting angles with dealing with grief and forming relationships through a hobby, but by the end of the series, I was just sort of bored with explanations on how to fish. I know saying a slice-of-life show boring is like calling water wet, but as someone who likes the slower paced shows, even I just wanted it to be over by the end. Not a terrible show, has some good moments early on, but I would honestly only recommend if someone already watched other better shows in the same vein.
