Review of Dagashi Kashi

Dagashi Kashi has been criticized by many on this site for it's lack of plot and character development. Both criticisms are valid - the series is neither character- driven nor really is it plot-driven. The characters are just a means to an end - that end being to educate viewers about the wide range of traditional dagashi that are out there. If your goal is to learn more about dagashi, the characters serve as a painless means of doing so. If you're looking for a romcom with a satisfying ending, or even a more traditional slice of life series, this isprobably not the one for you.

Aside from the plentiful information about dagashi the series features decent, if a bit cliche, character design and catchy opening and ending themes which you might not mind sitting through a few times. There's really not too much more you can ask from an educational anime hidden inside a slice of Life / romcom shell.
