  A genuine & comedic slice of life about a family of 3 sisters just passing time and having fun in every episode.

  Well this is gonna be my first review on Anilist so I'll do my best to summarize this show since there isn't any review for 1 of my favorite slice of life series yet.

  

  Summary

  Minami-Ke is one of those shows where you can pick it up and just relax and have a laugh. There's no plot whatsoever; a genuine & comedic slice of life about a family of 3 sisters just passing time and having fun in every episode. Their adorable interactions and unique relationships are just so much fun to watch especially Chiaki and Kana's interactions. I will always find myself cracking up every episode and laughing out loud every time I revisit this show. Really hope that another season will be released in the future seeing that the manga is still ongoing.

  My only gripe about this series as a whole is the animation style. I really enjoyed the art style in Season 1 however season 2 and 3 takes some time getting used to. Not saying that the art style is bad but I really love how the characters are drawn in season 1. Currently with season 4's release, I feel that season 4's art style is heading towards a great direction so if you are picking it up make sure to stick around to season 4!

  Onto The In-dept Review For The Series

  Plot:
  Well there isn't much to say about the plot, there's even a greeting every episode telling you not to expect much. This is a slice of life anime so there isn't one. If you are looking for a plot based show this isn't it, however if you are just looking for something to watch because you're bored and just want to have some laughs and relax this show will definitely do you justice.

  Music:
  Straight-Up and simple music nothing too special or epic. The music used in this show really complements the jokes/humor in almost every occasion and you can almost always tell what kind of scene it is by just the music alone. The transition music they always do from 1 scene to another just makes this show so much fun to watch.

  Art:
  The art isn't anything special in this day and age however, I feel that the art for season 1 is one of the best among the 4. Simply because the art style fits the characters well and emphasizes their unique characteristics. Chiaki's uninterested face but smart looking, Haruka's bright and reliable demeanor and Kana's playful and mischievous look. Nothing really too special to talk about here but other backgrounds and props are drawn really well I haven't really notice anything that caught my eye that looks really bad well it's a 2007 anime so I'm pretty lenient.

  

  Characters:
  The 3 main characters each have their own unique characteristics. Haruna being the big sister who is smart, cheerful as well as the most reliable whom the other sisters look up to, Kana being the middle sister who is mischievous, playful and gullible and finally Chiaki the little sister who is smart, always looking uninterested(but is full of curiosity) as well as immature and is easily tricked by Kana occasionally during their interactions. The relationship between the 3 sisters is truly sublime. I really find Chiaki and Kana's relation really special even though on the outside Chiaki is shown to hate her and find her annoying but deep down in some episodes you can really feel the bond the sisters have for each other.

  This series doesn't just stop at 3 of the Minami Sisters, it also introduces many different unique characters that bring joy and laughter to the whole series. Such as Hosaka who has a crush on Haruna and always thinks/dreams of absurd and hilarious situations with her that will never happen. There's also Chiaki's own gang of friends that each have their own unique traits that always livens up the show at every moment with the Minami family.

  Afterword:
  All in all there's never a dull moment and this is one of those anime that will remain in my top 10 slice of life Anime simply because this is what I feel is the epitome of Slice of life. Highly recommend to watch if you just want to have some laughs and relax after a long day of work.

  My Score breakdown for this show:
  Plot - N.A
  Music - 5
  Art - 5
  Characters - 5
  Overall: 5/5
