I was already sold after episode one. I immediately got sucked into this tiny, adorable fantasy world. Everything from the aesthetic, sound and character designs were just so cute and warm.
The two main characters of Hakumei and Mikochi are a perfect pair. Their chemistry is so fluffy and friendly. They also feel like a married couple even if the series doesn't fully acknowledge what the extent of their relationship truly is. Which is fine. They live in their tiny house in the tree and live their tiny lives doing fun, tiny things.
The notable side characters that make multiple appearances are also great. The pub manager, Iwashi the carpenter, Sen the necromancer and Konju the songstress just to name a few all have lively personalities that really immerse you into this beautiful world eve…

I don't need a long review, I just need to say that this anime gives you the same feeling as a warm blanket on a very cold day.
Seeing the daily lives of two little girls is really comforting, especially considering the world that is presented to us during the series. It is a feeling of comfort and truthfulness of a life with ups and downs, but a common and happy life.
I recommend this anime for people who like to have that warm feeling of what an ordinary life is like. Although it is not common for us, it is common for them.
However, it is a very specific style of anime that may end up not pleasing the entire audience.

This is my second review, So I’m sorry if I have weird grammar or word.
Hakumei To Mikochi is a simple anime, when main story focus on daily human being is simple nothing else right??
But you wrong.
This anime is about daily life a human but small even ant bigger than human self, sounds boring??
I know that thing’s because I feel too but when I watch and appreciate it I have been deceived because it awesome fantasy anime I like iyashikei anime but it it’s first time that I have been into this anime because from my pov it really awesome and also relax this is my opinion tough so don’t really have a higher expectations but also low expectations just watch with normal expectations so you don’t have betrayal LOLXD. In the end let me say this,
Sometimes just a simple thing bring pleasure than…

Hakumei to Mikochi is a beautiful anime. At first the the story begins in a mild soft manner, however suddenly dynamic actions scenes are thrown in with a splash of drama. It gives you the feeling that we were dropped in the middle of an already developed set of characters without wasting too much time on backstory. The art that stood out were the background, landscape, and cityscape moments. There wasn't much to music other that to accompany the storyline which was okay. Overall it is a not overly cute, provides a great get way feeling and is over too quickly.
Note: Both english dubbed and subbed provide equal quality. Choices of voice actors blended well and did not distract from story line !
Would recommend to children/family

Hakumei and Mikochi is a series I initially skipped out on when it first aired. Not for any reason, as the premise did appeal to my tastes and I put it on my list of anime I planned to watch, but at the time it came out, I was burnt out on anime. From 2010 to the end of 2015, I watched a ton of anime...but after I graduated college, I felt myself unable to watch even a single episode per month unless it was a new episode of Pokemon. A number of things contributed to this for me: Too much time on my hands, too many titles that had elements that turned me off, job hunting with no success, cyberbullying in one particular fandom, having seen too many shows, and so on. Anime always brought me joy, and I honestly tried to get back into it, but I couldn't muster up the motivation to go back to wh…

Nothing much happens in Hakumei to Mikochi. The aforementioned pair are a couple (though not a couple) of tiny women from a tiny race who live their tiny lives in the woods. Hakumei works as a craftsman and Mikochi is a well respected self-made woman who makes goods that she sells in town. These lilliputians go about their daily lives, working, eating, and drinking, and occasionally getting involved in (low-stakes) intrigue. Their fellows are animals, most larger than themselves, and other members of their tiny race, with whom they generally get along well. This is a slice of life series among slice of life series. The stakes are low, the characters cuter than all get out but still well realized, and nothing really happens. Some call this show "tiny wives living tiny lives" and that's just…

A super cozy little SOL anime set in a world where people are a few cm tall and interact with all sorts of sentient animals in a vibrant community.
Episodic - little to no overarching plot, but a lot of the short 1/2 episode long stories were fun. A few duds here and there, but overall pretty great.
The art style is absolutely gorgeous, especially the backgrounds and the detail in all the characters (not just the main ones).
Music was nothing particularly special, but it fit very well with the feel of the show, helping to add a relaxing vibe and feeling to each scene. Part of the overall gorgeous backdrop.
Hakumei and Mikochi themselves were great characters. Seemed basically like a married couple - so comfortable with each other, but still learning new things about the other all th…

If life isn’t this show then what is it? Hakumei to Mikochi is definitely not an anime that will appeal to everyone, but to those it would, it’s hard to see how it will not steal their heart. If you enjoy Josei or seinen, this might be something for you. I would also say it is important to understand the delicate relationship between the two females in order to enjoy this show, so if F/F isn’t for you then you might not be able to appreciate it fully. Now on to the review:
The characters:
This series is all about simplicity and reflecting the very serenity of life, and the characters are no different. They aren’t rich, have superpowers, look like a star or have any other outstanding features, which is exactly why it’s so easy for viewer to focus on their emotions, thoughts and enjoy the a…

I got interested in the anime since I read the manga and absolutely in love with the art style and story. The anime gives off a chilling lovely and relaxing vibe that would make you feel at ease watching. The two main characters are cute and have lovable characteristic.
Definitely can be improved but overall, I enjoyed it a lot.
Only one thing in the story that I can't get over with: What kind of animal is considered "animal" and "Food" in this world since we see that they live with all kind of bugs and mammals but eat fish and still have meat . . .

This anime took my breath away~. The most underrated anime and also a beautiful one.
Definitely, want more and sad to see that the show ends. What a wonderful and relaxing anime.
Pretty sad this is my the number 1 underrated show this season..
it was surprisingly a cute anime, so relaxing and chilled, hope more people will give it a shot.
Not anything mindblowing but extremely satisfied.
This anime is a "Healing" anime just like Yuru Camp that you just need to watch when you're having a rough day in work or dealing with your life.
Art: 10
Artsiness of this anime was just perfect. Medieval/Fork style . +All the colors fits well to it. Not much to say here it's just great
Sound: 9
Damn not a masterpiece like Made In Abyss but these OST's soo RPG . I feel like this can be played in loop w…

Hi friends, I'm here not so much to do a review, but rather to give my opinion on this extraordinary Anime. There are plenty of highly detailed positive reviews and they should already give you an idea of how this show is good. I believe that every season many new Anime of excellent level come out, but so well done like this, there are one or two. It is simply magical, it accompanies you in this world so colorful and fun, it's relaxing and enjoyable, it makes you forget you're sitting in an armchair and makes you dream of being there. Notes of merit certainly go to the entire artistic sector, I love this style, so cute and "morbid". I always see comments like "Is it worth to watch!?", "Is it good!?", "If I see it, I will lose time?!"... I really don't like these questions and I don't like…

Hakumei to Mikochi is what life is all about folks. Kickback, relax, it's time to see pure joy and happiness wrap you up in a warm blanket of kindness.
The plot of HtM is no War and Peace. It's simple, but deliberately so, we all came here to leave some stress to the side and enjoy the childlike wonder of main characters. The characters are adorable little puffies and their design perfectly fits with the mood of the show. Their soft and rounded features emanate cuteness and their surroundings are so earthly and homey that you it creates an atmosphere of utmost comfort.
The music expands this all by 10 times, it's just a joy to listen to these casual and sentimental tunes that add the final piece to an already magnificent picture and it's that complete composition that makes it all feel…

Japanese high school is such a fixture of anime, especially in the slice of life genre, that any series that takes place in literally any other setting basically gets bonus points for the novelty. I like to think I'm more discerning than that, but I'm probably not.
In Hakumei and Mikochi, you get exactly what you might expect if you take the usual slice of life formula but swap out the setting. While in most slice of life series, the setting-swap-out is just some different after-school club that only marginally changes things, here there are two substantial swap-outs. First, and most obvious from the synopsis, is that it takes place in a fantasy-heavy setting - tiny humans, talking animals, and a touch of the occult.
Second, and perhaps less expected, is that each little story is mature…

Slice of Life. As a genre, it's become so oversaturated with content that it's branched off into comedy, supernatural, romance, what have you, causing the trend of missing a few diamonds in the rough here and there is a common occurrence. Hakumei to Mikochi is in this reviewer's opinion, the poor victim of this phenomenon in the Winter 2018 season, and one that deserves light being shed on its deceivingly cutesy self.
Story:
In the woods lives the little people, a species of three inch tall elf-like beings who live their daily lives in the woods. In Hakumei to Mikochi, we peer into the lives of the titular duo, Hakumei and Mikochi, as they quite literally live their lives in the woods in the town of Makinata.
Not surprisingly, Hakumei to Mikochi is a show that follows the day to day…

Hakumei to Mikochi - Anime Review #2
I made a preliminary review before this one, and I've left it virtually unchanged due to the fact that pacing, characters and everything about this anime has been consistent throughout the whole series. That's something I like to see.
There is not too much to be said about Hakumei to Mikochi, besides the fact that it really does a good job at breathing new life in to the Slice of Life genre. While it doesn’t stray too far away from the idea of a Slice of Life, it’s unique setting makes this all the more enjoyable. This review will be extended once this anime is completed. I use a 100-point scale when rating each category.
Story: 90
When I think of Slice of Life, I usually think of a story where people with normal lives in a modern time go through som…

For me Iyashikei is a mixed bag. While I usually find myself enjoying them somewhat, often times the shows focus too much on the healing ascepts without anything deeper under them. While the nice simple moments of life are nice, it can get repetitive if that is all a show has to offer. Luckily in the case of Hakumei to Mikochi there is so much more that it has to offer.
Hakumei to Mikochi features a unique setting that it uses the fullest of it's potential. Each element of its setting is explored and is fully thought out. It's not just a bunch of random ideas scrambled together. Nor is it just a start so they can get into the usual antics. It feels real, and each episode gives another picture of the tiny world that they inhabit. Small animals inhabit the world as well and their size make…

At first, Hakumei to Mikochi (or the full name: Hakumei and Mikochi: Tiny little life in the woods) may not feel like it's anything special or noteworthy to write home about, but I was impressed with the storytelling that sells the show, and it really feels at home with the Iyashikei setting from the manga source of the same name.
In this show, you follow Hakumei and Mikochi, two 9cm tall girls in their stories of the tiny life in the woods, mingling around with the wide cast of crew from close friends to work buddies to townmates that know them well. The episodic format of chapters taken straight from the manga really works well here, as is evident with the setting the chapters are based upon, and all these are given with no expectations, just some ol' good storytelling like from a fairy…
