I saw a clip that appeared on my tiktok feed, showing a little blue haired girl sleeping in the cold weather in an old hut. I couldn't hold back my feelings and I cried without realizing it. I've never been like this before. I went to bed after watching the clip and kept thinking about the fate of the girl and in the middle of the night I woke up and before I could type this review I decided to watch this anime and it was beyond my expectations. After all these years, this anime is still good for its genre and I'm so glad I decided to watch this. Oh also the fact that I watched this anime on my sister's birthday and tomorrow is Binchou's birthday somehow makes this anime feel more special to me.

Late review: This old anime is very warm, almost every time bincho says “I'm home” it always welcomes him “welcome”. Being left alone as a child makes bincho have to remain a strong and mature person. this anime may be the first anime for 11 years that I have watched that makes this self always shed tears. she deserves a loyal friend. the dog too! The music, the storytelling of binchou's own character to the support characters are really good.
This is what I miss from the old anime that is rarely implemented.
How to tell a simple story wrapped in warm things.
special, I give this anime 8.5/10!

This was a pretty short series, the story doesn't try to go over the top but it also doesn't disappoint.
This story manages to be heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, but it leaves you fulfilled after you finish it.
The main point this series tries to convey is to be happy about what you have and be happy that you are alive.
A great message that needs to be heard.
Not many anime leaves you with such a striking message after you finish it, it makes you look back to this series again and again.
This is a series I would like to revisit every few years or so.

This anime series just appeared on my news feed and I was intrigued to how the story would progress so I took the effort to watch it. As I've watched it, there's so many emotions that popped out on my mind: warmth, joy, pity, sympathy, etc. I love how strong Binchou-tan is yet I felt pitiful with her situation especially the scenes where she had the feeling of wanting those privileges that other children have and when she gets to see that those seems impossible to her, she gets saddened and that what was really hit me. Overall, I think that it such a heartwarming anime series to watch in free time for each episode lasted for about 12 minutes with 12 episodes overall. I recommend it to the watchers who want to experience such heartwarming feeling yet sad at the same time coming from an artw…

Easily one of my favorite anime, Binchou-tan is an immensely relaxing and adorable slice of life anime. It definitely falls along the same lines as Aria and Tanaka-kun in presenting the viewer with a relaxing and sometimes comical atmosphere.
Plot: 8/10
This anime is the purest essence of slice of life as it can get. Bincho-tan is extremely episodic in episode layout, with only minor plot points interspersed throughout its showing. There is however a surprising depth in the plot found in the titular character Bincho-tan’s backstory. Nonetheless, this presents a relaxing atmosphere for the show and makes it very easy to watch. The very slow pacing of the show may be a turn off to some viewers.
Characters: 7/10
The characters of Bincho-tan are all pretty different from one another and ro…

Binchou-tan is the story of a little girl who lives in the mountains alone and travels down to the nearby town for work. I honestly wasn't expecting too much from this anime when I first came across it, but now that I've finished the last episodes I'm surprised to say that I may have found and anime worthy of knocking a title from my top ten list.
But who gets the boot!? I'll have to think about that later, for now, on with the review! ♡
Story 10/10
The stories follow a simple slice of life narrative with the main character working through life on her own, obtaining money for food by getting jobs from a job board in town, when she's not doing that she's playing with her friends.
Watching the interactions between her and the other girls was very enjoyable and learning about the others…

Binchou-tan may look like an energetic slice-of-life anime by glancing at the cover that is just a few chibis playing. Well, it's not. It's a very slow-paced slice-of-life anime with very little comedy. And it works.
Binchou-tan tells the tale of Binchou-tan, a young girl who lives out in the mountains by herself as this world apparently has no social workers. She goes to town every day to work for money, because this world apparently has no child labor laws. In this town, she creates and hangs out with several other young girls.
Binchou-tan is a really simple show. It's just Binchou-tan doing stuff every day. That's it, nothing more. However, in a way that's the charm of the show. Most slice-of-life anime just show selected scenes from the life of the characters, where stuff happens. S…

For those of you looking to relieve those slice-of-life blues afterAria finished, then look no further than Binchou-tan.
The series began life as began as a manga by Ekusa Takahito before being adapted for anime in 2006. The story is set in the town of Minabe in the Wakayama Prefecture (located in the Kansai region), and the series pays homage to the area in a number of aspects, the most prominent being the names of the characters. The titular character, and indeed many of the other characters, are named for different types of charcoal, with Binchou-tan being named after binchotan, a form of white charcoal that the Wakayma region is famous for producing.
This connection has added to the popularity of the series throughout Japan, so much so that Binchou-tan is now the official mascot of t…

Binchou-tan is a true Slice of life animation based around the life of a little girl name Binchou. As her name describes she's very poor and lives in a rundown shack in the middle of the woods. But she's not alone.
This story kind of starts of as a documentary of sorts and slowly introduces Binchou-tan's friends throughout the series. The story sounds very tragic and it is. From the moment she opens her bigger than life eye's, there…
