A teacher and his student learn to cook dinner together for the teacher’s daughter.

Meh. This was mostly just boring.

I think little girls in anime are so weird. They act nothing like actual children. Not that anime teenagers or adults act like actual people either, but with children I find the disconnect particularly jarring. They’re so cute and innocent and stuff, but in real life I know that children are evil little monsters.

I guess this is probably an unfair residue from Usagi Drop, but I’m also watching this the entire time with the fear in the back of my mind that the teacher is going to either marry his daughter or his student. It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to ship the student just so I can avoid having to see him marry his daughter. I don’t know anymore, anime has broken me as a human being.

On the bright side, at least these people follow fairly decent knife safety practices, unlike the typical anime kitchen practices which give me nightmares after I see the moe girl cooking who would in real life be missing a few fingers by now.

• Storytelling – D – Every episode follows the same pattern. This pattern is boring.
