A young blond, blue-eyed boy participating in Igura. 154cm tall. Though he is sometimes mistaken for a girl because of his small body, he is quite strong and able to get by in Igura. He helps Akira around the town and cheers up Akira when he's down. There is a rumor that he is somehow related to Shiki. He is a former Bl@ster participant (from the GHOST area) who fights with two small daggers and also enjoys taking pictures. Likes the yakiniku flavored Solids.

Review:
Well, I didn't think there was genre even more worn-out than the "ordinary teenager discovers amazing secret powers" subset of anime, but whaddya know! Apparently the family sitcom is just as stale in Japan as it is in America. Mainichi Kaasan follows the trials and tribulations of Rieko Kamohara, mother to two preschool-aged children and wife to a somewhat flaky (and sometimes alcohol-guzzling) husband. While the Chi franchise may be inherently cuter, Kaasan has a slight edge with its kooky characters and longer format, which allows more room for jokes to develop. This works especially well in the "mommy accidentally starts a manga series in her kid's school record book" gag, which escalates to brilliantly absurd heights but never would have been possible in three-minute bursts.
Unfortunately, one flash of brilliance does not make up for the various other shorts in Episode 1, which often resort to being loud and irrational as a substitute for humor, or driving a joke into the ground by repetition. Of course, one also gets a handful of cutesy-poo family moments, which are exactly as forced and mawkish as they sound.
The animation has its occasional moments of virtuosity as well—the scenes where the kids are horsing around are executed pretty smoothly, and Mom's ocean dream sequence is a calming display of aesthetics—but again, it's all the ugly stuff elsewhere that ruins it. With a style that barely rises above stick figure art, and a lead character who apparently only has one facial expression, it's hard to find much visual appeal in this. But hey, even Shin-chan eventually made it in America, so who knows.
