It's rare to find an anime that displays our own world's landscapes and cultures, so traveling the world with Nadja to find her mother is a delightful experience to satiate your wanderlust. Most episodes are lighthearted and are carried by Nadja's positivity, which is in tune with the colorful palette of this show. The several dance choreographies that she learned in her journey were a great addiction to this show: they were cute and catchy, emphasized Nadja's bright personality and were a good stepping stone to differentiate this anime from the rest of the shoujo. The story is overall simple, but the plot becomes morecomplex whenever Nadja's two love interests are brought into the spotlight. As they represent opposite sides of the same coin, they often create an internal conflict in Nadja, as she not only tries to sort out her feelings for each of them, but also tries to find her own answers to define what is morally acceptable: in fact, can a wrongdoing be justified if it's done for a good cause?

That being said (SPOILER ALERT), the finale was somehow surprising to me, when Nadja prioritized her wish of traveling and having adventures with the troupe over her romantic relationship or spending more time with her mother. However, it was also that same adventurous spirit that allowed her to find her lost mother, so we can say that the ending is surprising but consistent with Nadja's personality.

Finally,the OST was amazing: I rarely skipped the extremely-addictive ending song.
