Jan 3, 2017 wyvernwings Recommended The story of Souta and Poco is, to say the least, heartwarming. Over the course of twelve episodes, the relationship between the two unlikely pair, a web designer and a shape-shifting tanuki, unfolds as they interact with other characters from both rural and urban environments. The general message conveyed is that of familial love and bonds; however, this does not only pertain to conventional families but found ones, too. Though the plot lacks complexity, aside from the occasional drama that comes with exertion and exhaustion on Poco's part (as maintaining a human form is demanding), the story is compelling and certainly draws the viewer in ...

Jan 1, 2017 Salad Recommended One word is all you need to change the path you lead. The detrimental choices of life is but a commodity that leads you to a whole. Here we follow a Web designer named Souta Tawara, who, after his father’s death, visits his childhood prefecture of Kagawa, the home of Udon noodles, which funnily enough doesn't play a part in the body of the story, but to an extent remains part of the overaching plot. He soon meets and houses a young “boy”, and the story begins from here. Considering this is a Slice of Life anime, story isn’t something of total necessity, however there ...

Dec 25, 2016 gagan5867 Recommended Have you guys seen barakamon or Amama to Inazuma? If you have and liked them you will surely like Udon no kuni. This is the cheerful anime of this season. Getting straight to the point the anime doesn't really have an elaborate story line. One thing great about that is this anime feels complete this season alone, so no waiting for a new season and wondering if it will ever be made. Read more Open Gift Report
May 31, 2017 Dcat682 Mixed Feelings I spent all night binge watching Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari and now I'm flat out frustrated. The anime kept me entertained for the majority of the series, but then episode 10 comes around making Poco as a character irrelevant. He was simply a plot device personified and then thrown out at the end. Why so much character building over something that apparently is insignificant to the actual story. The story could have easily been told in one episode without Poco without frustrating me to the point of pulling my hair out. I really enjoyed the series until the last episode when it ...

Apr 21, 2018 freckled Mixed Feelings Poco's Udon World: Top 10 Anime Betrayals Before delving into my reasoning for my rating, let me first state that Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari is honestly a delightful show, for the most part. But the ending of Poco has permanently coloured the entire series for me in a frustrating and less-than-flattering light. Most of the time if an anime has an unsatisfactory ending, I can still look back on my enjoyment of the journey. But Poco's ending left me feeling empty, like the journey had been pointless. Art: The series has a nice clean style which fits the slice of life tone. I liked the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2016 psychedoll Recommended I don't really write reviews. But somehow, I felt attached to this anime in a spiritual, emotional level. Things I like about this anime: 2. It stimulates your emotions, a wide variety of emotions. Melancholy, joy, and others in between. At just the right amount, nothing exaggerated, nothing lacking, for me, at least. 3. Makes you think about the past, present, and future. "What was I like back then?", "Who am I? What am ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 1, 2019 Orangutan_Steve Recommended wow, just wow. the characters are developed so well that when anything emotional comes up it has really substantial weight. I really enjoyed this show. I had expected it to just be a nice intermission between other shows I was watching, but this one stole my attention in a heartbeat. There are definitely some sad parts to this show, and I got pretty teary at points too. Not all out bawling like in Violet Evergarden for example but it was a different kind of sad then I'm used to. it's not tragic or painful. it comes from the skilled and well thought out storytelling of ...

Jan 23, 2017 GabrielaWolff Recommended Udon No Kuni No Kiniro Kemari exceeded my expectations. Reminds me of Barakamon(that is one of my favorite animes). It's a simple anime, but also so great that gives you a great sensation while watching it. It warms your heart and brings you a cozy sensation. The episodes I've seen brought me ...

Feb 5, 2017 Snowpuff Recommended High ratings guys. but Story: 9.5 I mean this anime is a heartstring puller, it has a lot of feels in it, and sometimes you will go like "AWW THATS SO CUTEEEE" kinda anime. This anime revolves around a tanuki and an adult that kinda goes through a family like story, trying to hide from everyone that poco is the tanuki. The reason i did not give it a ten was the sort of rushed ending.. but you know. MAN THIS STUFF IS GOOD. Art: 10 Sound: It was not memorable as an OST but OP ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jan 30, 2017 WolfCladInBlack Recommended Okay, I don't exactly remember how long it has been since I wrote my last anime review; so I guess I'll resume the same with this one. It's only been 10 episodes, 2 more to go till the series meets its end; but still... I'd like to be frank in here. Poco's Udon World is something you don't get to come across everyday. It is one of those slice of life anime which I would refer to as 'Calm' and 'Beautiful'. The feature that distinguishes this particular anime from most others of the similar genre is that it is actually 'KAWAII' and 'HONEST'. This very series which deals ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 24, 2016 PyraXadon Recommended People tend to leave behind unfinished business in life, only to realize that what we leave behind can never be resolved once we've mustered up the courage to face our problems. So what do we do then? Well, we move on forward, come to terms with our own problems, and smile to what we do have. Story: Tawara Souta is a web designer from the Kagawa Prefecture who moved to Tokyo many years back in order to pursue his dreams after a fall out with his father. After hearing that his father had passed away, he returns back to the place ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 27, 2016 H1r0gen Mixed Feelings Frankly i enjoyed this anime a lot. After a hard day of work there is nothing better to relax your mind. But i can't give it a higher score then 6/10 because that is a realistic score for this anime. Watching Udon no Kuni episode by episode every week made it more interesting and made it not getting boring, but i think bench watching this anime it will get boring fast. If you like a classic Slice of Life anime you should probably watch this. Its easy going and enjoyable for a family and kids to ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 25, 2016 ChelseaBlue2004 Recommended Where do I start with Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari, most would say its a bit of a rip off of Usagi Drop, Barakamon and Amaama to Inazuma. But its so much more than that and as a 30+ male this show hit me right in the gut and I loved it! The story of Tawara Souta a 30 year old web designer who has to deal with the death of his father and has to return home to the country and deal with affairs there, but is surprised to meet Poco, small child he finds in the kitchen of his father's run down udon ...

Dec 25, 2016 Bubus1918 Recommended Hello everyone, this is my first review ever, and I hope it you'll like it. Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari is an anime that really didn't looked like a lot at first. It reminds me of Barakamon, in both the situation and vibe, but the stories are quite different. What is great about this show, is how the story is just so enjoyable withouth having too much happening in every episodes. Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2016 Thisisalladream Recommended This anime is undeniably one of the cutest shows of the season with the shining star being poco himself who somehow manages to surpass his cuteness levels ever episode even when you think he has reached maximum cuteness levels. The story focuses on the theme of self-discovery as we follow souta deciding what to do with himself now that poco has entered his life. The show manages to touch the viewer and make them really feel for the characters in situations that aren't typically used. The real question I have is for myself as to why I have given it an 8 as there aren't ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 9, 2016 Akkemi Recommended Preliminary (9/12 eps) Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari is the kind of anime you want to watch before going to bed or after a very tiring day. Why? The art isn't anything out of the ordinary, to be honest it doesn't even surprise anyone about how "normal" it looks, but they put a lot of effort into making Poco a character that you simply love from the first episode to the last. It's such a heart whelming story, there's always that satisfying moment when you finish an episode and you find yourself cheering for Poco everytime! What's make the anime so good? I can't really answer that, but ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 28, 2016 88expert Recommended Before watching this anime: Well after the failure of the summer anime known as amaama to inazuma (sweetness and lightning). I need a slice of life that can fix the void from that failure... After watching this anime: GOD DAMN THE FEELS Story: Take barakamon and add a fantasy twist with a raccoon. You would get this really. I just love how poco is slowly but surely changing souta lives around by using the flashback at the end of the episode showing how much his father loves him and you are not alone.

Dec 25, 2016 lensaamiranda Recommended When i first saw the promotional poster, i was like, Naru?? Handa?? Season 2?? But, no. It's Poco's Udon World, not Barakamon season 2. However, I think that this show is as charming as the latter. The storyline is simple, it's about a man, returning from Tokyo to his hometown after his father's death and encountering a 'child' sleeping in his family's long abandoned udon restaurant. After going through some circumstances, he decided to take care of the child. Initially, i thought that this show'll be focusing on Tawara's (the MC) struggles on reopening his restaurant, kinda like a cooking show. Instead, a stronger theme; love, ...

Sep 2, 2017 Green_Gecko Recommended Poco's Udon World is one of the best shows i have ever seen and i'm disappointed that it has gone largely unnoticed. I picked this show up on a whim about halfway through the Fall 2016 season after looking for something to watch on Crunchyroll. Don't let the title of the show fool you. Udon is certainly relevant to the story but Poco's Udon World is not a cooking anime, rather it is the tale of a man reliving memories of his childhood after he comes into contact with a Tanuki that can shape shift into a human child. Whilst trying to keep Poco's true form ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
