Finished watching Sakura Quest.

Absolutely fantastic slice of life show. Possibly my new favorite in the genre, though if it comes down to it I probably still go with Aria? But anyways, it's got a really well-rounded cast, with all of the major characters and many of the minor ones being entertaining while having distinct and well realized personalities and worldviews. It also feels like basically all of them go through some degree of meaningful change by the end of the series, and it's just great to watch. It's hard for me to pick a standout which really only speaks to how much I like all of them, but I guess my favorites were probably Yoshino and Maki.

I also like that despite how different the setting of rural Japan is to anything I've experienced, the show is framed in a way that the struggles of the main characters feels relatable, and it's really uplifting when their efforts actually manage to change the town for the better. It's just a great feel-good show. There's a lot more I could talk about, but really what it amounts to is just that I loved it nearly from start to finish. If I were to complain about anything, I wasn't super big on the arc about the mountain village in the middle of the series, but even then the way it ended did some amount to redeem the earlier parts of the arc I didn't like as much, and it was only like 3 or so episodes long in any case.
