https://anilist.co/anime/132532/DeaimonRecipeforHappiness/ Deaimon : Recipe for Happiness follows Itsuka Nagomu working at Ryokushou a Wagashi sweet shop and as the Anime progresses you start to see the character relationships their struggles and their resolutions for said problems via sweets aka Wagashi. A quick debunk of the title gives away what the show really is about. Deai means new encounter or to meet someone new mon as an abbreviation of mono means thing but Deaimon means various seasonal food. So in each episode you meet a new character or new encounter between already introduced characters which intertwines with different sweets it shows in each episode. This Anime shows while not indetail the sweet making process in Ryokushou and how these chanced encounters will find a meaning each sweet conveys. https://i.ur.com/cOFfPCL.jpeg The story is just like any lighthearted Iyasheiki Anime and the character troubles are just as small and relatable too. One of my favorite moments from the show is The shows slow delicate approach to drama allows it to give a sense of maturity in these moments where they deliver a simple yet effective message. Summary A calm setting with rural accents polished art style to beautiful backgrounds character designs with a tickling like comedy that just makes you laugh a bit and a cast of characters that have a childlike energy with a slightly mature undertone This Recipe for Happiness is probably the sweetest Anime of the season. https://i.ur.com/idDSSrN.jpeg The review mostly ends here. Here on out Im gonna talk about My favorite things from the show Since it only does whats enough there isnt much more for me to talk about writing quality or others related. So lets get into it. The Opening The Ending Opening song Sumire by Maaya Sakamotohttps://anilist.co/staff/95090/MaayaSakamoto and Ending song Koko ni Yaru Yakusoku by ayaho Junichi Soga both songs fit perfectly well create the perfect mood to watch the show and are well arranged with the calm visuals. Itsuka https://i.ur.com/1ePCsIY.gif NO She isnt some cat girl. I know many people are gonna crown Anya as their Cutest Girl of the season but many are missing out on Itsuka too. Her saying Im Home always brings a sense of joy and I gotta give props to Kozue Yuukihttps://anilist.co/staff/186409/KozueYuuki for that nice sweet Tadaima. Art Style Backgrounds https://i.ur.com/Ho5ePax.gif https://i.ur.com/NQl43IZ.gif You shouldve noticed by now how beautiful it looks. If youre in the mood for a slow show to let the daily exhaustion out then I definitely recommend this. Big thanks to everyone at Encourage Filmshttps://anilist.co/studio/354/EncourageFilms for making my Wednesday nights for these last 3 months a bit relaxing :
