Based on the trailer, this show was more or less exactly what I expected. It is quite a charming, pleasant, and touching show. Admittedly, they were forcing the emotional aspect a bit too much; however, it was not distracting in any way. I like the animation, even though I would have had the soundtrack quieter at times. Sensei was a likable character as a single stay-at-home dad, and he has my respect. The little girl was incredibly adorable and had an interesting voice, and just the way she pronounces "otousan" is very interesting. Granted, little Tsumugi was also slightly spoiled at times, even though there were almost no scenes where I found her irritating. The student was also quite intriguing, and well, I took her fear of knives as more of an odd quirk than something to be bothered by. In other words, this show has a pleasant slice-of-life narrative, with lots of food and demonstrations of its preparation, which is not dramatic or extremely interesting in any way. Nevertheless, I was satisfied because this kind of pleasant respite suits me. 7.5/10.
