As a fan of Soseki Natsume's literary works, I was quite excited and was looking forward in watching the adaption of Bocchan (Young master). The beautiful animation and character designs perfectly captured the overall feel of the adaption but not plot-wise in detail, thus losing a little of the importance of illustrating the depth of the characters personalities in action. A part of me wished if the adaptation was a little longer to truly capture the novel's essence since Kiyo, Bocchan's old maidservant played a critical role in shaping part of Bocchan's personality. Ideally, Bocchan is a coming-of-age story, and for our protagonist to becalled 'Bocchan' without ever finding out his true name truly shows how pure he is to the ways of the world. It is a meaningful slice of life experience that is truthful to some extent in its humourous, yet light-hearted portrayal. Reading the novel will perhaps be more satisfactory to those who wish to delve more into the story and in bits of Japanese culture as well.
