Life is always full of surprises.

The Japanese are the best at using warmth to move people's hearts. This cartoon has no complicated plot, and even the drawing of the characters looks a bit like the sketches in the early stages of animation production.

But as the movie says: life is always full of surprises. In this hour and forty-three minutes of animation, there are surprises everywhere.

"My Neighbor Yamada-kun" only describes the life, characters or plots of ordinary people, but there is a feeling of deja vu, as if watching the ordinary lives of people who are familiar with them.

I can't help but marvel that ordinary little people like us can have such a great life. Before again, I hadn't seriously examined my life, and I hadn't noticed so many inadvertent joys.

Recently, my mood has been quite restless, after watching "Yamada-kun". I'm starting to believe that things can't be too bad.

What Yamada's father said is true, life is always full of surprises. Even if everything seems to be going well so far, the most important thing in life is to think about it.

Why not.

  • Noboru Yamada: The reason the Yamadas get along fine is because all three adults are nuts. If one of you were normal it would unbalance the rest.

  • [the Yamadas walk off into the sunset]

    Haiku reader: The ocean in spring / the gentle rolling of the waves / all day long.
