Kaasan Mom's Life

Although a review would refrain from being so bubbly and optimistic, I recommend this anime to everyone. Whether they come from a different background, I bet each person can relate towards this anime in multiple ways. The construction is flawless, and it's like none other, the music for one keeps the optimistic spirit, and the characters have their own element of humor. The father for one is my favorite because he always appears on the scene either a bad influence or a suck up towards his now spoiled little daughter. This anime reveals a slice of life not only in the families of Japan, but internationally. Daily quandaries found in a household such as early education and enrichment (which they even relate towards the three spirits of Christmas in Charles Dickens if I'm hopefully correct, wanna see a third one) family issues, and time well spent together. I like it all and I hope that watchers to be consider this new favorite anime. I can't understand those crappy ratings out there, this the best of the best.

Kaasan, Mom's Life is a very adorable and very funny show that is slightly remicisent of the days of Azumanga Daioh. With no real over-arching plot, it attempts to portray the life of Kaasan (Japanese for mother), who is a comic book artist and the mother to two children, Bunji, the oldest, a boy, and Fumi, a girl. Her husband is a war time photographer and her grandmother lives in the house to help take care of children while Kaasan is working away. This show is a great slice of life show that will give you some more insight into Japanese life for housewives, such as the desire to have children educated at an early age, and the reality of grandparents living in the home and the life of an absentee father (he is either working or really drunk). Though reading this you might think it's a very heavy show, but the tone is light and amazingly fresh.

The voices are dead-on perfect, animation is amazing (especially if you're an Anime Member, you can watch this series in 720p, which is stunningly beautiful!) I recommend this series to anyone who loves the slice of life genre, a great addition!

I read few comments and reviews and many say that this anime is great, though it doesnt have any meaning behind it. I have to disagree, this anime contains actually alot of social controversial between the lines.

As we know the role of women changed past years. A man alone cant support his family nowadays, woman have to work as well to provide the family. Thus..most (japanese) women are responsible for housework as moneymaking, while (most) men refuse to help out with housework. Kaasan represents this role very well and shows a hardship and worry of every working mother. But as good as it started (referring to the current role as woman....) it develops more and more to an anime that supports the female "slavery".

There been several episodes at the beginning, which seem to criticize the oldfashioned role allocation between male and female. The father obviously can do and go as he wishes, the mother is the one who carries the whole responsibility for the family, bills and household. I assume its her house and she pays for everything alone (father pushed himself in her house and comes back when he is broke). The female audience sympathises with the independent and loud mother as the male audience likes the funny, drunk yet social father. Fumi obviously wishes to marry to get children in future...so she gets encouraged by her mother by: "You dont need a husband for it", this line is more than just a statement..she says indirect, she doesnt need her husband either, she married him most likely only due the social pressure. However as it criticizes indirect at the beginning, facing the current housewifes problems ..it twists after 15 episodes and starts to support exactly the opposite. In many episodes Kaasan regrets to work so much, as she was neglecting her childrens education. She doesnt encourage her daughter to be more than a simple mother, even though she shows more potential than Bunji...she rather supports Fumis material wishes. It seems she is fine that her husband doesnt help her with housework, child support nor bills.
In this case I wished she would be more reasonable letting go of old-fashioned role allocation (and maybe divorce her useless drunk husband). In the end of the day I m afraid this anime rather supports the role allocation..as it is totally fine for a girls to be material housewifes and for guys to hang out and drink. This anime shows the hardship of a working mother, but it NEVER criticizes the lack of help from ANY husband.
The worst episode (29) is about a mother with 5 wild sons. She is busy and exhausted serving food to her 5 hungry boys, having no time to eat herself....She mentions it loud to her husband, yet he totally IGNORES it, asking for a cup of rice. She realises there is no more left so he gets upset, almost leaving the family. This was actually very shocking for me, i expected Kaasan to critisize the selfish and ignorant father taking his wife and her work granted...yet, to my surprise, the opposite happened- Kaasan criticizes the mother, neglecting her husband ...this was very disappointing on my part, as Kaasan acknowledged the hard work of a mother with 5 sons, yet she favours the husband only due his gender.

So i have to warn (especially girls) that this anime tries to find a connection with you at the beginning, manifesting the current problems as working mother and funny children...however it starts to manipulate you to accept the situation as being a hard-working housewife (and get more kids) and tolerate mens behaviour and their domination in this world.

Overall its a very good anime with funny and enjoyable moments, i m just scared that to many go with flow...saying its fine as she lives, she seems happy. But i'm sure..even the strongest woman, who is able to endure same as she does, would never allow her husband get drunk everyday. There is a limit to every flaw.

However the kids and the innocent humor is awesome! Worth to be watched but dont get manipulated by it. To me it seems like they trying to push all girls back to the kitchen...as it seems so natural seeing Fumi dreaming of cooking, diamonds and pretty dresses.

All episodes are soooo funny and i really like this show please add more videos hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahhahahahahahaahahahahahhahaha BWAHAHAHA please add more episode xD aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahhahahhahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh

The anime is extremely hilarious with the troublesome children and the character design.

Although it would msot likely attract alot more viewers with normal anime style, it 's really a great anime.

This anime made me laugh till I cried beacuse of the reality in...especially for mothers this anime is something they can relate too...Nice anime all around I reccomend it to anyone....even that man on the street.

Kaasan Mom's Life is a really funny anime. Kasaan Mom's Life spans around a mom and her two kids, and of course husband. Well, I personally think this anime relates to myself and my mom, except we're not an anime. It's funny; really, this anime. Watch it if you are interested in humor! It's a must! Seriously!
