“Kujima: Why Sing, When You Can Warble?” has the quite odd and interesting title. As we have this bird creature called Kujima. But don’t let this hidden gem of a show fall under the radar. It is a strong Slice of Life as it showcases the meaning of family and finding a place to belong. The headline is about Kujima, who finds himself in Japan after migrating from Russia.
The strength of this show is its character. The biggest is the showcase of Kujima’s effect on the cast. The biggest shown is with Suguru. For older fans, they can relate to and empathize with Suguru. But truth be told, the entire cast is endearing. By the end of the show, you will create a connection to Kujima like the family does.
Studio Hibari is responsible for the production and does a really solid job. Nothing mind-blowing, but everything is executed at a solid rate. To add to the great direction, it really is an anime that executes well.
So if you are a Slice of Life fan or are looking for an anime that tells a good, complete story in one season, then you won’t regret giving this show a shot.
