Reviews
☆ Natsuzora is a nice watch ☆
If you like a heartwarming family drama with some butter curry, laughs and tears, animation and farms, love and a bit of war, set in the mid 1900s then this is the drama for you!But If you prefer fast paced romance with swoon worthy kisses, or hardcore action with thrilling fight scenes, or maybe even episodes that aren't named confusingly then this isn't the drama for you.
Pros:
1. It's a very lighthearted series that's funny without being weird and tearjerking without being depressing.
2. The characters are loveable yet realistic. Unlike a lot of other Japanese dramas I've watched where I would get kinda annoyed beacuse they're behavior.
3. It's was fun (but nostalgic) to see the character's aging through time and see them grow into being adults and having families of their own.
Cons:
1. I enjoyed the very beginning of the series more than the rest. I missed the charm of the past and the people in it, making me wish they made her time at Hokkaido longer.
2. The chemistry between the two main leads... isn't really there. I mean they're a cute couple and it's not like I hate them together. It's just that something feels bland about them.
3. At times people get annoyingly depressed.
So all together Natsuzora is a sweet and wholesome series that some would find boring but others would enjoy.

The development of the main character had a smooth pace and the story involved many genres like slice of life, business, family, agriculture life and love. The part, especially, about the animation production and the way Natsu, the leading lady, became a professional modern woman, working and hadling her family. They also concluded the rest of the stories as well, which was a pro for the drama. Finally, the performances were really good.
However, one of my main concerns was the main characte being, most of the times, too perfect. Also, some episodes lacked intensity and entertainment.
So, overall, seven out of ten.
