Chibi Maruko-chan is fucking underrated, fight me. Seriously, this show is a slice-of-life gem that gets overshadowed by all the flashy, new shit that comes out. It's like everyone's forgotten how good simple, heartfelt storytelling can be. Maruko-chan hits you right in the feels with its depiction of childhood and family life in Japan. It's not about being the loudest or the most visually spectacular, it's about capturing the essence of life's small moments.
The animation style? Pure nostalgia. It's like stepping into a time machine back to the 80s and 90s. And the characters? They're not just some one-dimensional tropes; they've got layers, you see them evolve episode by episode. But no, everyone's busy jerking off to whatever new "deep" or "edgy" anime is out there, completely missing out on this timeless classic. It's got humor, it's got heart, it's got lessons that actually stick with you. If you haven't watched Chibi Maruko-chan, you're missing out on one of the best animes that never gets the spotlight it deserves.
Give it a chance, you might just find yourself appreciating the simple things in life a bit more.
