Feeling of pure and unadulterated comfiness. One that is not achieved by many anime series. The third season of the Non Non Biyori series Nonstop has yet again proved that Slice of Life as a genre is a certified kino. Our favourite cast of characters returns to bring us even more positive vibes and does it in a perfect colorful way. 520https://senpai.eu/wpcontent/uploads/2020/11/nonnonbiyori.jpg Plotwise it is still the same good old Non Non Biyori. This time the anime focuses on all the characters equally and even adds two new members to the cast Akane Shinoda a very shy girl who is a member of Konomis highschool flute club and Shiori a newly movedin little girl who befriends Renge on her way home. Introduction of Akanes character brought out Konomis values as the everyones older sister and lead to some hillarious interactions with the main four and Akane herself while Shioris character gives us one of the best dialogues and moments in the entire series when she meets and makes friends with Renge. Renges older sister Hikage is given much more focus this time with anime showcasing her friendship with Natsumi their shenanigans and school problems as well as her relationship with the rest of the group. Obviously the anime didnt forget about the main four goofs of the village and the scenes with them are only enriched by the extended cast. Comedic moments in the series as always land and hit you like a truck. The classic awkward silences and pauses something NNB as a series is wellknown for voice actors delivery and visuals make every interaction and gag 10 times funnier. not much of Niichan sadly. Truly the GOAT of the series. Exhibit A https://youtu.be/Nu8aPAbDMc Visually the anime is stunning. All of the background arts are beautifully done with vibrant colors pleasingly flowing through the screen. I mean look at that. 285https://i.ur.com/9a1pONe.jpg 285https://i.ur.com/YWjskMs.jpg 285https://i.ur.com/fhCCwux.jpg 285https://i.ur.com/zvCG2qw.jpg As for the music again a bag full of comfy soft tunes that fit the tranquil atmosphere of the show. Opening song performed by nano.RIPE like always is actually my favourite out of the three and the same can be said about the ending which is performed by the main fours voice actors. Non Non Biyori is a great great series. It has brought me much joy over the years and I am happy that we live in a time where shows like this air. Aside from the comfiness value the show portrays a very specific and relatable image of what childhood to most of kids was like finding the beauty and fun in small things being driven by imagination and sprinkling us with the nostalgia that hits right in the heart. Watch Non Non Biyori. You will not regret it.
