A heartwarming series. A true slice of life series that has cute girls and lessons about life. The main character is very likable and the drive of the series even if the rest of the cast gets their fair share of screen time. Sadly it never feels like the characters are used to their full extent and there is little to none development between them on anything more than a surface level that is quickly established. It really needed a second season with a stronger focus on the characters, but I guess that one of the strong points of the series is to stay away from personal drama and alike and instead focus on the life lessons.

Such dreamy beautiful magical journey into Japanese folklore & traditional culture.
I really enjoyed the folklore & stories told in each ep - its such a cultural exploration. The stories are beautifully told & will thug at your heart string, evoke your curiosity (I even research the folklore). Also geez, I swelled my eyes almost every episode because it was just beautiful, touching & thought provoking.
Story pairs along with a very beautiful dreamy art & scene of traditional and fantasy Japan (think something like Spirited Away). Mix that with a cast of mythical characters & their interaction with gods, spirits, & human - you have a really solid monogatari. Also the lead character is very charming & drives the plots really well despite her slightly dojikko-ness. Of course there are light heart laughter moments too.
All in wow! Highly rec'ed for regular anime fans. A MUST SEE if you are into Japanese culture &folklore - many of the stories will interest you. 9/10 for me.

This series is just so heartwarming!
The first thing you naturally see is the very cute character design of the characters and the beautiful backgrounds of everything else. Everything just looks so pretty!
The music is releaxing and adds to the various emotions displayed in the stories.
And the stories are what's best about this series:
About meeting and interacting with new people, ghosts, gods etc. Forming bonds of friendship or sometimes rather family.
The all-in-all atmosphere is relaxing, warm, funny and sometimes even sad. There were quite a few scenes where I either had to laugh or had some tears in my eyes.
I really liked watching this!

This tugged at my heartstrings. Warm, cute, funny, emotional, every episode rich with all these feelings.
If I have to compare this to other older and known anime, I'd take Hanasaku Iroha's environment and add the awesomeness and mysteriousness of Aria (the Animation). Perfect fit.
Enjoyed this anime A LOT and I am sure I will come back to it again. Can't wait.

This reminded me a lot of Urara Meirochou instead of working to become a fortune teller the main character works in a relaxing hotel where she meets different traveler and new coworker a lot of heartwarming episode, with moe character. There is no random or off story episode about a character you never saw before.
if you like the relaxing,cute type anime this anime is definitely recommended for you

A moe-girls-cast 'Life is Beautiful' Workplace Dramedy, similar at times to Gochuman wa Usagi Desu-ka? The stories are heartwarming, sometimes a little sad, but offset by wall-to-wall pure-white-sugar-sweet cute girls. Although I enjoyed every episode, I was never particularly enthusiastic about it, and although the cast are all likable, none of them stand out as particularly remarkable. A nice watch for fans of the themes presented. Makes for some decent soul-candy. But I can understand why its rating is relatively low here. Although pretty well done, it still feels somewhat generic.
