EPISODE REVIEWS

Short but absolutely adorable, I love this anime being a bit different from the usual romance, which focuses on characters getting together from scratch. This one focuses on an already established couple for a change. The animation is great, the plot is pretty straightforward, and I did appreciate the lil recipe within the episode. They also managed to make the cocktail look pretty damn good.

A sweet and refreshing introduction that instantly stands out by focusing on an adult married couple instead of another high school romance. Chisato and Sora have a warm, natural chemistry that makes every interaction enjoyable, and the short runtime never feels rushed. It's light, cozy, and leaves you wanting another glass.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting this episode to have such a short duration, as it effectively delivers delightfully romantically sweet character dynamics with a lightly comforting and very adorable flavor. And additionally, the color palette is very pleasing to the eyes without being overly saturated, and the animation is remarkably well done. Overall, it delivers a story that is truly worth watching.
