Lots of the series in this area feel like I should like them more than they do. I think a bunch of them are shows with a strong premise or introduction, that didnt quite pan out as well as they couldve. I still like them, but they arent among my favorites. I thought that Barakamons premise was pretty excellent, and the show mostly works out. The first episode was kind of meh, but as Handa developed and Naru got more screentime, the show got much more enjoyable. The mandom sketch is one of the funniest things Ive seen. Hinas pretty adorable too. Getting actual little kids to do the voices worked out pretty well for the show The Phantom Menace this is not. I think I watched one or two episodes of the spinoff, which was terrible, but that doesnt have any effect on my score for this. Handas calligraphy was one of the weaker aspects of the show I think. Its one of those things were youre like oh cool! Theyve never made a show about that before! and then you watch the show and realize why they didnt. Calligraphy just isnt very interesting and feels more outdated than ever in an era where typing is so much better than writing. But yeah, mostly good times.
