Review of Dagashi Kashi
Dagashi Kashi is a "sweet" series. The series centres around a boy known as kokonutsu. His father tells him one day that he has to run a small shop which is his families legacy. Kokonutsu does not really want to run the store and is left to look after it. Suddenly, an insane purple haired girl who was the main reason people watched the series appears. Her name is Hotaru Shidare. She is one of the main characters. Hotaru is the daughter of a business owner for the famous Shidare Dagashi corporation. She had been sent to retrieve Kokonutsus father to get him to jointhe Shidare corporation. We find out that Hotaru has a real sweet tooth, knowing pretty much anything needed to know about candy. We get to meet the 2 other main characters after Hotaru gets Kokonutsu to make a delicious new umaibo mixture. These 2 characters are the twins Says and Tou. Says runs a cafe and Tou kind of just sits there but is a likeable character. Saya is a timid, cute girl. She makes people think there's going to be a love rivalry between Hotaru and Saya but there isn't. The series serves as a way to sell Dagashi (candy). It's quite a good way to advertise something because you know a lot of people will watch it.
Now going on from all that description, here's the actual review.
Dagashi Kashi as I said is a sweet series. The characters are enjoyable, the soundtrack is good, the art is good and it's quite enjoyable.
Despite that there are a few problems with the series.
First of all, there is no story to it really making the series a bit repetitive at times. The pacing of the series I didn't really like.
There just small problems but the one true problem lies in the dub. The sub doesn't really have that much problems with the script but the dub has some really cringe worthy moments and I mean really cringe worthy moments.
If you can look past them sorts of things you might enjoy this series. Many people seem to have kind of underestimated it, mostly stopping at episode 7. I swear it gets a bit better after that. I recommend it to people who don't mind many advertisements and like a sweet, chilled, relaxing series.
