WATATEN! basically a teenaged girl that loves making cosplay outfits and letting her little sister and her friends wear them, and taking pictures of them. In my opinion its a really good anime, i absolutly love the artstyle, the story is simple, but still filled with a lot of content, every episode is mainly based around one activity. amazing OP aswell as ED, and cute and ketchy music during the episodes. And the charactars are really nice animated and expressive, and maily lolis. the 3 main charactars Hinata, Hana and Noa are very ofter watched after looked after from hinatas big sister Miyako. the entertaining episodes and the funny situations really makes WATATEN! an entertaining and funny slice of life with a bit of daily and school life. and in my opinion the little girls make the anime really adorable and cute!

Doga Kobo’s 2019 shoujo-ai comedy is sure weird but distinctly fun and very funny. Only in Japanese anime could grown adults make a show about a grown woman falling in love with a young girl in junior school. This bizarre plot is made totally acceptable when the woman is actually a super shy university student and the young “angel” is a friend of her younger sister’s. Student Miyako Hoshino doesn’t like leaving her mother’s house as she is extremely anxious in social situations with strangers. However, she is a lovely girl with an extraordinary talent for cooking, baking and making clothes. In her very private moments, she loves to cosplay. One day her little sister Hinata brings a school friend home. Hana Shirosaki (through Miyako’s eyes) is an angel and Miyako starts to obsess about this little girl. She tries to get Hana to cosplay for her but she is reluctant until her weak spot is found: she just loves sweets and dessert. So, the story is set up for an odd-comedy where all the young girls are aware of Miyako’s strange obsessions but they love her all the same because she is (thankfully) harmless. This sort of story can be done very badly but this one handles the topic well. Miyako is well aware of how unsavoury her crush is and fights it all the way. However, despite it being non-sexual, it is all-consuming. Thankfully her little sister, her sister’s friends and Mum are there to closely chaperone the school-girls. It slowly turns into a tale of friendship across the generations made all the more fun when a contemporary of Miyako turns up - Koko Matsumoto – who has her own fixation. Koko has been stalking Miyako for a couple of years ever since they met in High School. Koko can be a little scary at times but her obsession is filled with harmless affection which reflects Miyako’s feelings for Hana. The show is derived from the four-panel yuri comedy manga written and illustrated by Nanatsu Mukunoki. A movie is in production expected out at the end of 2022. The series is packed fill of lots of nice little touches in the plot and the characterisations. Miyako’s character is put through some adult rights-of-passage as her new young friends try to help her come out of her shell. The reversal here is that the junior-school girls are often more perceptive and grown-up than Miyako. Whereas Miyako is painfully understated her little sister idolises her leading to classmates coming to believe a whole set of outrageous rumours about her elder-sister’s wonders. Miyako’s talents are put to good use for the school play by the final episode leading to Miyako’s excruciating embarrassment if having so many little girls want to meet her and thank her for her costumes. It is all so adorable and cute you will finish the show with a warm and fuzzy feeling that will last for days. There is not a single thing that would make this show better. Pitch perfect.
