Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?

- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 30 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
