Okitsura really is a great example of why I appreciate watching seasonals so much. This show has like a 6.8 on MAL, and I know I shouldn’t base whether I watch something on a stupid score, but with so many “great” anime out there I want to see, it’s hard to justify watching a “6” even if it could be good. Anyway, with all that said, I love Okitsura. I love tropical anime, and since there aren’t many of them, I was looking forward to Okitsura ever since I saw the first trailer. And i’m happy to say that, in my opinion, it hits all theright beats. It’s cute, just funny enough, the characters are endearing, and the production—i.e., the art and music—is solid. And all in all, it’s just a great time learning about Okinawa and it’s culture, especially since I think it’d be neat to visit one day.

If you like slice-of-life, a hint of romance, a tropical setting, and full episodes made up of mini-episodes like me, I highly recommend this show—or if you just want a chill show to have on in the background.
