Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father!








                      About:


                      Segawa Yuta is a freshman of a university. He lost his parents when he was small and was raised by his sister Yuri. Yuta has been living alone since Yuri got married to a middle aged man when Yuta was a junior high student. 

One day, Yuri visited Yuta's apartment and asked him to take care of her three daughters while Yuri and her husband were on a trip. He unwillingly accepted the job but the plane Yuri took went missing. In order to prevent the daughters from being adopted separately by relatives, Yuta decided to take in all three girls. 

A life of a strange family in a tiny apartment begins.












My Review:






                I have to say this is one of the most heart warming animes you will ever see. It is so cute, sad, loving, and hilarious. I love this anime so much. Guys, even you will like it. Yeah, it's not action packed with violence, but it will touch you in some way shape or form. I lost count on how many times this anime pulled at my heart strings. The characters were all great and I love the voice actors that were chosen as well. This anime is a slice of life comedy you don't want to miss. It is also labeled as a romance but it isn't really. I mean there are definitely crushes and maybe a tiny something extra but it barely takes a hold in the plot. I even forgot it was labeled a romance until I went on myanimelist. 

               This show is about college student Yuuta who volunteers to take care of his sister's three children after she and her husband disappear in a plane crash. Not wanting his nieces to split up, he takes them home to his apartment and starts his journey of trying to raise them. He's not alone though, his friends from the Sight Seeing Club are there to help, along with neighbors, and a few others just around the corner to help out.

               Yuuta is way in over his head when he decided to take in the girls, but he didn't want them to split up like his sister fought for them not to split up when their own parents died. I liked Yuuta a lot. He was really nice and did his best to raise them no matter how difficult it was. I also liked that he messed up a lot. Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for him the whole time, it's just, I liked that his mistakes portrayed a real life single parent and how hard it really is to be one. Raika is a friend of Yuuta's from the Sight Seeing Club and the girl he has a huge crush on. She's a very weird character. I truthfully didn't like her character at first because I just thought it was stupid nonsense, but it turns out she was kind of needed. I soon liked seeing her with the girls and with Yuuta. I liked the thought of them together. They would make a really weird family but it would be nice. Sora is the oldest of the three girls. She's the most sensitive and is really really shy. She was really mature as well though. She quickly did her best to try and help out around the house and took care of her other sisters. I admire her for that. Many people couldn't handle the pressure. I truthfully don't know if I could do that if I had to. Luckily, I have a bunch of older brothers, so I probably don't have to find out. Miu is the middle child and is one of my favorite characters. She's so funny and full of mischief. She loves to tease Sora and Yuuta which was great. Her character really brightened the mood at times. The youngest is Hina. She is the most adorable character I have ever seen! I loved her so much. She's just so cute and full of life. I couldn't get enough of her character. I kind of wish she was real so I could cuddle with her. She's that adorable. She kind of makes me want to have a daughter. Way in the future though. Way way way into the future. Nimura is Yuuta's best friend and kind of like a second guardian to the girls. He's constantly around to help them out and Yuuta a lot. He does his best to cheer them up and everything. I liked his character a lot as well. I liked all the characters...well except for Sako. I understand he was put in the anime for laughs but I felt he kind of ruined the whole experience. He was just such a creepy character and just really weird, not in a good way. Again, I understand he's supposed to be like that but it wasn't needed at all.

                    The plot is really good. It touches the subjects of loss, sadness, responsibility, family, and bonding. It didn't just show how hard it was for Yuuta. It showed how hard it was for everyone when Yuuta's sister passed. The art was pretty good. I thought the girls were all adorable and nicely done. Especially, Hina. She was so cute! I loved the way she looked. Miu was adorable as well. All the girls in this show were nicely drawn. I kind of didn't like Yuuta's hair but otherwise, I have no complaints on the art at all. 

                      Overall, I am so glad I stumbled across this anime. It is something you really don't want to miss. This anime will pull at your heart strings, make you smile, and laugh. I highly recommend it to people of all age, whether you're my age or an adult. I plan on finding the manga version or read the light novel series. It was that good. The ending was even heart whelming as well. It was the perfect way to end the anime.

         






 Stars:                             5/5
