The Nameko Families is a simple show centered around the daily lives of the family and some problems that one of the family members go through. Each episode is 5 minutes long and each are most often centered around 1 family member. Each episode is ro I liked the way each member was drawn and found them adorable in a way. While the animation I would say is average the way it's drawn reminds me of Usagi Drop but more minimal. The background tune is nice and calm sounding and I like the noises each mushroom uses to communicate. Although you can't tell what they are saying you have to assume from the context. Each character was loveable although I wish that some got more screen time. Overall this anime was good, short, simple, and sweet. I would recommend this for anyone who likes the Slice of Life genre or young children if you happen to be babysitting or have some in your family. This anime was done well but I felt that it was over quickly. This series isn't for everyone however it should be given a chance if you have time.
