Review (subtitled):
I love this show. I always feel good after watching an episode of it. Some funny parts, but mostly just good feeling smiles.
Be sure not to stop watching at the Japanese credits, because nearly every episode has between the credits and the preview a cute little vignette that continues the story.
Yune's personality and cultural tendency to help others is charming, and the reactions of all the other characters to her (and by extension, her culture) are interesting and enjoyable.
The music is both lively and soothing, and the art is beautiful, mostly very realistic, except for the occasional chibi sequence.
Language: I only noticed one minor swear.
Nudity/sexual content: There are a couple of bathing scenes with nothing showing you wouldn't see on the beach in one episode, along with a painting of Japanese women bathing nude, which shows undetailed nudity, but the portrayal is nonsexual. There is some mention and subtext about amants (lovers), which might need to be explained.
Theological content: There's hardly any, but if this is a sensitive issue for you or your family, be aware that Yune talks a little during the story about the religious beliefs of her country (multiple gods, magic)

One of the hardest things to do is to travel to another country, to someplace where the language is strange, as are the people and customs. It was even harder a hundred years ago, when this anime takes place, when the only way to communicate was via letters that took months to cross the ocean- if they managed to arrive at all. This anime takes a special look at how different things are in different countries, with Yune being surprised and dismayed at the differences between the nations. She isn’t the only one who is at a loss, though, with those around her often confused by her actions and customs. This gets in-depth into Japanese culture from a historically accurate Western point of view, where bathing every day is strange and wasteful, soy sauce is unheard of, and kowtowing is distasteful.

Yune slowly grows to know the family that she’s come to stay with, with Oscar as the diplomat between the gentle Japanese girl and his harsh and unyielding nephew Claude. Their interactions provide much of the drama in the show. They really don’t know how to deal with each other, because their cultures and histories shaped their personalities so much. Watching them come to understandings and expanding their worldviews can be a joy to watch.

As others join the cast and Yune’s world expands, she finds that there are commonalities between their cultures as well, and she finds allies and friends that are willing to understand her in turn. Each of the relationships grows in its own time, feeling natural and unhurried. Yune herself can feel a little too sweet and perfect at times, but this might be my on ignorance of cultural appearances. The supporting cast makes up for it most of the time, with characters that have other, more severe burdens on their shoulders that are shown- even if left unresolved at the end.

This is very much a slice of life series, but has an underlying plot that becomes apparent around halfway through the series. There is tension between Claude and the Blanche family, but what exactly caused it remains a mystery until later in the series. Soon after that, Yune and Claude must deal with the lingering effects of their families, the guilt they feel, the anger and sorrow that it’s left behind. This particular plot feels a bit rushed and leaves the anime with an ending that, while decent, doesn’t feel as complete or final as it could have been.

Nudity/Sexual Conent- You see Yuna's bare shoulders at one point- they're trying to give her a proper bath.

Other Themes- There's one d-word in the entire show.
