Kodomo no Jikan is by far my favorite anime. The characters feel like real and unique individuals. The story deals with light-hearted loli fun as well as serious issues faced in many lives from a child's perspective. I only hope that it one day gets a Blu Ray release and more episodes. I would love to see the entire manga in anime form. The manga may cover the story better, but the anime has a very unique appeal to it that the manga can't capture.
