This series opened the doors of the slice-of-life genre to me. Never before have I wandered into such a lighthearted category. I watch shows specifically to be bothered, thrilled, or emotionally and mentally moved. I want them to disrupt my thoughts so much that I have to contemplate them long after they end and discuss them with others. In a way, this series truly baptized me. I got so into slice-of-life that I now use it like a "sandwich method" to balance out my other favorite, heavier genres. Man, I also think I'm being so generous with my rating, but what can I do? It's the only thing that managed to convince me to try out other lighter genres.
