10/10
Relaxing, cute, refreshing.

Rilakkuma and Kaoru is a very sweet stop-motion anime that will melt your heart, make you smile and root for the characters at the same time. It's so relaxing to watch that it's worth recommending even to adults, and not just kids alone. With episodes so short and yet well animated+edited, this show is a slice-of-life masterpiece. The four lead characters have left a special mark in my heart, and I hope I get to see more of them in another season. I was so into it that I couldn't stop myself from finishing it in just one sitting. All 13 episodes are beautifully written, transitioning brilliantly from comedy to drama, and at times raising "adult" questions about life and self-acceptance. It has an endearing charm to it, and the aftertaste it leaves once you finish all 13 episodes is great enough to be memorable. Also well-voiced, this show has the power to make you forget your worries and sorrows while you're watching it. Go ahead, give it a watch and rekindle your inner child.
