Plots(1)
Souta Tawara, 30 years old. On a visit to his hometown, he meets a strange child who loves udon and frogs... and has ears and a tail?! Souta is a web designer living in Tokyo. Back in his hometown after his father's death, he finds a child sleeping inside an iron pot in the family udon restaurant. Although ordinary at first glance, it turns out that this little tyke is actually a tanuki in a human disguise! So begins the tale of a gentle, warm, and slightly weird family in Kagawa prefecture, better known as "Udon prefecture," where time passes at a less hurried pace than in the big city... (Crunchyroll)

Poco's Udon World (2016)
"If you are bored, get a magical tanuki (raccoon dog)." Poco's Udon World is such an enjoyable show for all who like peaceful and pleasant narratives which leave you feeling good with a smile on your face. The animation is not so good, although the soundtrack, including the opening, is pretty good. I quite liked this fairy tale (because the conclusion is probably nothing but a fairy tale ending), although I found it a bit too emotional in places, and unfortunately, it did not really work for me. However, this is still a cute affair, and I am awarding it 7.5/10. ()
