Komatta Jiisan is not an anime that you'll walk away from with some new perspective, absolutely raving about why you love it, revelling in its genius...but one that will leave you with the dumbest smile on your face. The show takes literally 13 minutes to watch, but it was 13 minutes well spent. This show is exactly what the synopsis says, and it revels in it. You know the punchline, and yet when the punchline comes, its still just as charming. Komatta Jiisan left me with a glow after I finished it, even though it was 12 at night and I was exhausted. I just...honestly kindalove it. I may not recommend this to any of my friends, but if you are wondering if you should watch this, DO IT. There's no reason not to.

Komatta Jiisan is a delightful little romance anime with a unique and unusual subject- an old married couple. Each episode, at only a minute long, consists of the setup for a silly joke the old man can use as a pretext to flirt with his wife. Had me smiling from ear to ear. Even if a lot of the jokes are pretty steeped in specific aspects of Japanese culture, and the animation is very basic, it was still a pleasure to watch. Put simply, I absolutely recommend it. It gives you an angle of what true love looks like from the everyday perspective, and thatis a valuable thing, even in a silly format like Komatta Jiisan.
