Piace: Watashi no Italian is a funny little love letter to Italian food, but despite its obvious eagerness to impress, it ends up falling a little flat since it seems to have a better grasp of Italian food in the Japanese context rather than Italian food for its own sake. This is best exemplified by the real-life photograph of the food they made in the show itself at the end of each episode, and it looking distinctly lackluster, or at least distinctly non-Italian. Maybe it's the lighting, but those photographs betray a lack of understanding of the dishes at hand, even if the enthusiasm is definitely there. Indeed, the story, which is the strongest aspect of this anime, has strong bones indeed, with a fun, wholesome setup, and a delightful, interactive cast of characters that interact with…

my first review :D
It's a slice of life anime about loving Italian food! Super cute and somewhat informative. By Italian food, I don't mean like pizza or spaghetti, saw some foods I never heard of before! It gives off the energy of "lets make an anime to introduce how awesome Italian food is."
Things I liked about this anime:
Episode Length: if you have a short attention span, this anime is for you! my attention span is non-existent so I love that each episode is only 4 minutes long.
Pure Vibes: I love the cut scenes with the chibi style! It gives like late 2000s comedy anime vibes, like black butler! Big reason why I finished this series!
(note: i get bored easy and have tons of dropped series TAT, so surprised I didn't drop this)
The one thing I didn't LOVE:
Fan service: The main…

I just watched this anime cus my friend was talking about it! My attention span is real short so I thought I could deal with 4 mins! Turns out I dealt with all 48 mins!! This is just a real great short anime that I think deserves more love :D
The story jumps around from episode to episode, it's chaotic and I love it! The characters are kinda all lovable in their own ways (do not like pedo trope sorry Ei). It ended so abruptly its kinda sad, I wished there was more to this show. Maybe an extra 4 mins? :( Like even if it was 24 mins per ep id have watched it ALL. I wish we got more backstory or at least a pic of Moran's or whatever his name is dad! He looked hot lel. Also the ending songs are real catchy! The tune is STUCK IN MY HEAD!! XD Did I mention how funny the anime is? I think the jo…

Piacevole / Piace: Watashi no Italian can be summed up in two words: PACING ISSUES. Sure there's a lot more that goes into a show but that is the most significant problem that Piacevole has.
Piacevole is one of the many short anime that have decided to make up for their limited time by speeding up their show. While in some shows like Teekyu this can work, it utterly fails in Paicevole. Why is it so different for these shows? The answer is content. Teekyu is a comedy series that mainly focuses on jokes and the outlandish antics that their cast does. Thusly the rapid-fire jokes don't feel out of place and can still seem quite funny, even if too fast. It also works well with the craziness that cast as. It adds to the atmosphere of WTFness that it has as there's even less time to process just…
