Kodomo no Omocha (TV)

Sixth grader Sana Kurata has a perfect life. Her mother is a (fairly) successful author, she has a young man employed to keep her happy and safe, and best of all, she is the star of the children's television show Kodomo no Omocha. There's just one thing bothering her, and that's Akito Hayama.

Akito is a classmate of Sana's, and ever since he's started acting out in class, the rest of the boys have followed his example. Every day, the girls and the teacher wage a battle to keep the class under control and to get some actual learning done. That rotten Akito… Sana won't stand for this!

The hyperactive Sana decides to dig deeper and find out what makes Akito tick, so class can go back to normal and the teacher can stop spending every day crying instead of teaching. But the more she learns about him, the more she realizes that there might be more to Akito than meets the eye.

Ive never written a review before, but Kodocha is so special to my heart.

If your here for a short answer-- I 100% recommend this show. It played my feelings to form something beautiful, and im positive it is for almost everyone.<3

plot- 10/10
Kodomo no omocha is about a girl named Sana Kurata, an actress, her friends, life, and akito Hayama-- the 'leader' of the boys of her class. it shows her navigating through problems caused by her job, financial issues, love life problems, toxic friends, bullying, and more. this show manages to keep itself so so entertaining, and the humor is on point, its hilarious. the ... filler episodes are very rare, and when they do come around, they are so funny and random that you'll know!! XD

characters- 10/10
Sana is an extremely lovable and entertaining protagonist, her fun personality is hard to dislike. She has AMAZING character development throughout this series, as you watch her grow more experience with hard times and depression. Her mother is hilarious, she always cheers me up through her exotic hats and evading her script deadline, not to mention her jokes, and she also can be so sincere and loving towards Sana. Akito also grows so much as the story progresses, his feelings toward Sana are so genuine even though he rarely shows it. the character dynamics are so perfect and funny, and Sana's hyper personality adds a lot.

art- 10/10 the anime's art is very pretty, don't get me wrong, but it is kind of average. the manga art is really what makes me give it a 10, as Miho Obana draws the characters in a unique, dream-like sort of way.

music- 10/10 I thought I had to add this-- the op's and endings are SUUPER catchy, they had me singing along every episode!! Even after finishing this anime many several months ago, I still listen to the soundtrack to this day<33

overall- 10/10. the New York arc was a bit hard to get through, as it kind of dragged on, but the anime in general is breathtaking and will definitely win your heart and grow on you if you give it a chance.

man....i love this show. i love everything about it. i have both the official licensed polaroid cameras, and a burrucha. that being said, this is definitely not everyones cup of tea. its pretty dated, but if youre ok with the art style and like over the top slapstick humor you might like it. i love all the music in this show and its one of the few anime osts i own (the vocal collection and the bg music). im a sucker for shojo and slice of life, so im definitely biased in kodocha's favor. sana and hayama are great characters - sana especially bc i ... can easily see her character being annoying but at least imo she never was. its a (mostly) lighthearted series ab kids being kids, and also babbit.

Man, I watched this WHOLE show when I was a child and had so much nostalgia with it.

If you like shows that are short and cute, along with a slice of comedy, I would suggest this. This show is a bit old, though it has interesting characters and tropes I never saw before. Yes, it's a shoujo anime, and it's main plotline is love, however there's a lot of comedy that goes with it.

The main character was strong headed, though I liked that. She had flaws that fit her well. The main boy, Akito, I remember not liking him at first due to his ... arrogance, however he grows on you and you learn about him.

The Evolution of the Anime Nose

With every generation we have different animators and mangakas. As such, each generation of anime viewers has enjoyed a slightly different art style than the one before it. But how has this changed the style of the anime nose?
