Barakamon !! Calligraphy in anime ...

GSo this post is about an anime from the season summer 2014 
:) I feel happy for doing something that is actually relatively recent and not old things ( because then there'll be a higher chance that people will read this shit )
(( not that I'm expecting viewership since I know there's fault in me too , after all I take more hiatuses than actually do stuffs))
So ,
This time I'm going to write about slice of life anime with special emphasis on barakamon which is a slice of life anime which is essentially about a calligrapher in a dellima ; whether to create art that wins prizes , but is considered boring or do something original and exciting that maynot win him any critical appreciation .

Now not narrating any of the further event that transpire , he ends up having to spend some time on a remote island because he punches a gallant owner for calling his work orthodox and boring , so his father , also a calligrapher tells him to cool off and spend some time on this particular island.

This is where the fun starts as he meets the warmhearted locals , the feisty children and obnoxious teens of the island 

The story is about how his perspectives of life changes , how little things in life seem to bring so much joy and exitement 
How valuable lessons can be learnt like accepting a loss and moving on ...

Naru who is the other character worthy of mention from this anime who bonds with our protagonist in ways that bring a warm smile to us , haru lives with her grandpa and spends her day goofing and playing around doing things that children love to do , ( collecting bugs , running around , annoying people while they are doing important things ....(( the list is quite extensive )) ) 

The charm of the show is something which is very difficult to put into words and yet extremely universal 
So check it out  !!
