I enjoyed it well enough, didn’t drag out for too long. I appreciate a show that doesn’t center conflict around poor communication. Now my Tuesday animes will all be crap glares at Red River and The Oblivious Saint

I like that this show has pretty realistic timelines (& timeskips)

sleepy Nonna is so cute but also the next shot being asleep Nonna was hilarious :P

Jeff’s past is way darker than I would’ve guessed, and it really fleshes him out as a character. In general this show has done a good job efficiently fleshing out characters, given most of the time we’re seeing Vicky’s perspective. The story feels strangely cozy even though it feels a little sparse overall (there were only 9 episodes, tbf).

Okay, a 9-episode season. And even though they had 9 episodes for a single LN volume, they still stripped away a lot of what makes Nonna, Nonna. They focussed entirely on the romance between Victoria and Jeff and let all other characters fall flat. It’s okay if they want to go with this, I guess, but the second volume was one of my absolute favorites (not just in the series but in light novels in general), and I would LOVE to see it animated. The problem is that the second volume would heavily lean on Nonna, and the anime did not set her up to be who she needs to be. Anime Nonna is completely different from book Nonna, both from her personality as well as from her skillset.
