Tari Tari

Very charming, great animation, good acting by the Japanese actors, and an interesting plot.

It's a comedy-drama, though the comedy is not laugh-out-loud funny (it isn't meant to be), the drama is good without becoming soapy melodrama. The characters are all well- defined, and while some (the vice principle in particular) seem like stereotypes at first, they are given development throughout the series and their actions are defined by clear motivations.

In general, if you want a charming and well-made slice of life anime, Tari Tari is a great choice. I highly recommend it.
