To be honest I don't quite remember, but that's not really important. What is important is that instead of doing whatever he was supposed to do when he was called he instead sees that Kohina (a self proclaimed doll) is unfit to live alone and takes it upon himself to be her guardian. Kokkuri-san is almost purely a comedy. There is little in the way of story and there is no real character development. Each character has their own gimmick. Kohina's being that she really likes instant noodles. The character interactions themselves are great. The show is funny for sure and if you want some good laughs you should watch this. No more to say. This will live or die based on how much you like the gags in the show. It's not the funniest show on this list and the earlier episodes are stronger than the latter ones. But Kokkuri has type of humor that is unique to the show. 80. One Week Friends https://myanimelist.net/anime/21327/Isshuukan_Friends One Week Friends is a show that is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. If you've ever seen like A tale of memories you know some of the basis premise. A guy wants to befriend a girl but the girl loses her memories after a period of time, in this case a week. This is going to be another short one as the entire plot is basically in the premise. It's Hase trying to be friends with Kaori and once that happens dealing with the struggles of her unique condition. The show has a good mix of drama and comedy and it doesn't overextend on either front. It's not a laugh out loud show and it's not a huge tearjerker either. The real factor is that character seem to act in a genuine manner and the show has a level of "this is how things would be in real life" type feel that is rare. There's a pretty decent amount of character development, mostly spurred on by the characters learning about each other, and in many cases, relearning. There is a level of mixed happiness and sadness in each scene which the anime capitalizes on several times. If you're looking for a strong romance, or even a heart throbbing drama this is not for you. This show is very simple and doesn't have many thrills. But uses its simplicity for the best. 79. Hanayamata https://myanimelist.net/anime/21681/Hanayamata Yosakoi is a type of dance that originated in Japan. Because Japan (and several eastern counties) are often cited to be deeply rooted in old traditions it might be surprising to find out that the dance is a relatively recent invention. Naru didn't have any idea what it was at all until she meets a mysterious blond named Hana who wants to start her own yosakoi dance team. The show's title, Hanayamata takes the first few letters of each of the characters name. It's basically a cute girls doing cute things show with the "focus" being the yasakoi. Like all shows of this type each girl has their own personalities and quirks. The main issue is that their memorability as individuals falls a little flat. That's not to say there are not factors that make them different from each other. Each of them has their own back story and reasoning to join the team. This development is mostly done in individual arcs for each character are pretty welcome as it's rare in these anime. However, it does sometimes feel like after each one is done we just forget about them. What really sets the show apart for me is the production levels. Just watching the show is great because of the art work, music, presentation. IMO this is a good example of technical attributes pulling up a show that is still above average on other fronts and making them seem even better. If I recall this show had a pretty well to do team on it, and it shows. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:885982217] in Kokoro's t...
