However the reviewer commented that the beginning was not new or innovative. Anime News Network praises the realism and quality in animation, scores, and opening and ending theme music. The character designs are noted to be attractive but subtle enough to maintain realism, and also note how Ohana designs are much better than moe clones. When character personalities evolve, reviewers highly praise the realistic interactions between them as they are touching and substantial. Ohana's relationship with her mother and grandmother was very well written with a frightening emotion.
