It’s awesome. If you enjoy Ghibli’s more family oriented movies, eg Totoro, then this is a must-see as they share a lot of similar atmosphere. Not to mention that the entire key animation staff has previously worked as animation directors for Ghibli or Production IG - the animation is a massive step up from the usual stuff. Here’s a torrent.
Yes, Kamichu really is awesome. A serious contender for great series such as Honey&Clover or Marimite. But actually there is no comparison to make since it’s quite different (story and general overtone).
If only a team would sub more than the first 5 episodes! Or is it a problem with releases in JP?
