Kokoro Library is pretty much a slice-of-life anime made for viewers of all ages in its focus on the everyday activities of a trio of sisters running their mountainside library. While it does seemingly seem made in mind to pander to its audiences with the cute designs and quirks of the characters, it does actually explore some developments with the sisters such as dealing with personal loss, Kokoro going alone on a trip for librarian training and dealing with a major plot element during the final few episodes of the series. An episode is also devoted to exploring the significance of why the library is in such an isolated location when it would seem impractical for it to be in terms of accessibility and operations. It does have its setbacks as the slow pace of the series won't be for those with short attention spans, one of the older sisters is a little too obsessed with her interest in Kokoro and the so-called miracles that the sisters have with serious situations feel like they reek of plot convenience. Still if you are looking for a light-hearted slice-of-life title to get into from the 2000s, this one is a decent time killer.

(Two episodes watched): I was under the impression that this was going to be a teen romance series, but that doesn't seem to be the case. As of episode one, there is no romance, no angst, no danger, (the biggest challenge is retrieving an overdue book!). In fact, boredom seems to be the biggest problem these sisters have to deal with. The show this most reminds me of is Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, (except that these girls are not robots!). In both cases, the main characters are happy, cheerful people living peaceful lives; the question is, how would an interesting series be based like this? So far, the sisters haven't made any provocative philosophical observations; maybe the plot will involve trying to stir up interest in the remote library so that it doesn't go to waste. In episode two they try to do just this; the outcome reminded me of a scene from the movie Field of Dreams. Still, there is a certain enjoyment that comes from the modest comedy and rooting for the three sisters to make their dream come true. One odd thing: apparently this thoroughly G-rated series ran at 1:35AM! Like I said, this show didn't turn out to be what I was expecting, and though I'll probably watch it all, it will take awhile since it's not one of the shows I most look forward to.

Kawaii !! KAWAII !! KAWAII !! Told mostly from the perspective of Kokoro, who is only thirteen or fourteen-years-old and most definitely the youngest of the three sisters, this series is very KAWAII !! Wearing a very frilly librarian uniform, the little Kokoro with a heart-of-gold, always tries to do the right thing (even if is her actions are not always very sensible.) Kawaii!! This innocent story is for all ages, especially for the youngest of any teen-gyrls! There are some screen-snaps in the <episode details> Last updated Friday, October 07 2005.
