Story: It is about a 30 year old man named Souta who takes a leave from his job and goes back home to assist with family affairs of his father recently passing. He goes back home to encounter the memories he had of the past along with an Udon restaurant his father once ran. He encounters a child, which he gives the name Poco. The child, who is an actual shapeshifting tanuki, becomes quite important in Souta's life as their bond develops and strengthens, leaving the main character questioning some life choices he must face. The storyline is adorably captivating. It was touching with a peaceful pace and gentle humor. Animation/Art: The anime is full of vibrant colors, crisp and catching to the eye. The look has a bright yet simpler feel to it which compliments the characters nicely. Sound: The sound resonated perfectly with this type of anime. There were parts where the sound underlined the scenary beautifully and fitted the situation as needed. Characters: The two main characters, which the anime focuses mostly on, were so compatible.The relationship between the two were just and adorable. Souto questions his guilty feelings toward his father and questions his life challenges. He is patient, kind and also very dedicated to Poco's needs. Poco is innocent and lively, bringing such adorableness to everyone's life. We meet several other characters and though they may not play as major of a role, they certainly aid to the support of the storyline and character development. Overall: Poco's Udon World is a sweet and warmhearted slice of life watch. Secret Santa Review 2019

I just finished watching this anime and I absolutely loved it! it has made me cry and laugh throughout the whole story. Very moving and I actually liked the story itself, it is not a standard son takes over family restaurant at all it covers many themes from parenting to growing up and finding your own way in life to being kind, accepting, caring and letting go and moving on. I absolutely love it. It brings out many emotions. I really loved the animation to, it is very bright and nicely made it gives you a instant summer/sunny feel. If you love a sweet story about family life or a story about acceptance and finding out were you belong or if you are moving on after a big event in your life this is a anime for you and a must watch.

Pros This anime has a large cast of colourful and intresting characters, I didnt find anyone of them to be boring or irritating.  Really, really beautiful backgrounds. Great music and voice acting. Great comedy (I was laughing so hard at certain things in this anime). Cons Nothing much happens in each episode. Some episodes are quite boring. Some characters faces look really bad. What you have here is and episodic comdey that follows the daily lives of Poco and Souta. Nothing really happens much in trems of the story, there is no deep meaning to anything, its pretty shallow. But where this anime succeds is its very well done characters. If you're looking for a light hearted comedy i do reccomend watching this, other than that there isnt much it has to offer, I did enjoy myself watching it.
