THE GOOD
The first half was decently cute and I liked the 'Little Forest'-esque vibes with the rural setting and the different dishes they presented throughout the show. Jasper and Annie make a cute pair, and the villagers are quite an endearing bunch. I also loved the last song they play at the end of every episode (and the original songs they play throughout the show are also quite charming)! It's definitely a pleasant change of scenery.

THE BAD
That being said, I wish it didn't have so much unnecessary drama. Many of the characters with "issues" had a glaring lack of character development or even depth to begin with, which led me to skimming over half of the scenes. Even the righteous main characters had a hard time winning my sympathy at certain points. So. Much. Pointless. Moping.

CONCLUSION
I mostly finished it out of curiosity, but in the end I'm not too sure what I watched.
