Seishuu Handa is an up-and-coming calligrapher: young, handsome, talented, and unfortunately, a narcissist to boot. When a veteran labels his award-winning piece as "unoriginal," Seishuu quickly loses his cool with severe repercussions. As punishment, and also in order to aid him in self-reflection, Seishuu's father exiles him to the Goto Islands, far from the comfortable Tokyo lifestyle the temperamental artist is used to. Now thrown into a rural setting, Seishuu must attempt to find new inspiration and develop his own unique art style—that is, if boisterous children (headed by the frisky Naru Kotoishi), fujoshi middle schoolers, and energetic old men stop barging into his house! The newest addition to the intimate and quirky Goto community only wants to get some work done, but the islands are far from the peaceful countryside he signed up for. Thanks to his wacky neighbors who are entirely incapable of minding their own business, the arrogant calligrapher learns so much more than he ever hoped to. (Source: MAL Rewrite)

~~~__Slice of Life done right__~~~ ~~~img720(https://imgur.com/9AGSn5h.png)~~~ __Intro__ Barakamon was not the series I expected it to be. The last time I saw something set in the country was in a show called Non Non Biyori, which felt really slow at times and was, in my opinion, the very defin…
Read full review on AniList →Slice of Life, amirite? Those shows that ya watch for the nice feels or just to have fun with. Not often something to think long and hard about. Great examples including BLEND-S, K-On!, and our subject for today, Barakamon. What makes Barakamon one of the best Slice of Life anime ever? Where does it…

While I'm leaving as many direct references to plot elements out of this review as possible, I do go into quite a lot of depth that may colour your experience of Barakamon if you've not watched it yet.

Read full review on AniList →img1000(https://gonzonyan.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/barakamon-full-1753377.jpg) Never has there been as many instances where an anime successfully showed nostalgic sentimentality with regards to making us feel homely inside. This once in a blue moon example of nostalgia shows some of the stranges…
