When I talk about anime that easily captures your heart I have to mention Barakamon Its the kind of anime that doesn't need action or a complex plot to draw you in yet its so simple that you'll enjoy every moment of it The story follows Handa Seishuu a professional calligrapher but he has a major problem he's quick to anger and cant stand criticism After a rash act with a famous critic his family is forced to send him to an island far from the city so he can calm down and focus on his art.
The beauty of the anime is that its not just a story of someone trying to develop their skills its a journey of self-discovery On the island he meets simple people and children with a cheerful spirit and begins to learn things about life he never knew about in the city The relationship between him and Naru the little girl who always gives him a headache is one of the things that made me love the anime the most Naru isn't just a troublesome child but a symbol of spontaneity and freedom helping him understand that art doesn't have to be rigid and perfect all the time.
The anime knows how to make you feel comfortable while watching it The natural scenery rural atmosphere and soothing music all make you feel like you're on a relaxing journey and The messages it conveys are simple yet profound such as enjoying the moment that failure isn't the end of the world and that new experiences always have something to teach you.
After finishing it I felt like Id taken a break from the pressures of life and felt a desire to live more simply Barakamon isn't just an anime its a peaceful experience that teaches you to find beauty in simple things.
