Synopsis:
Chitose Fujinomiya experiences a stark shift in fortune when her privileged life unravels following her father's death and mounting debts. Forced from her prestigious academy, she finds herself unexpectedly at Inaka no Chugakko, a rural junior high school vastly different from the world she knows. The school’s atmosphere is characterized by a comfortable simplicity, where farm animals are commonplace and students possess a grounded camaraderie absent in her former life. Chitose grapples with culture shock as she navigates this unfamiliar environment, confronting her own preconceived notions about wealth and value. The series explores themes of social class, adaptation, and finding worth beyond material possessions through the lens of a young woman adjusting to a new reality. Her journey is marked by both discomfort and unexpected connection within this unconventional community.

User OddGrim (Score: 8/10):
Goldfish Warning is beyond pleasant! Every aspect of this show exudes cuteness. Even if you haven’t heard of GW before, you've certainly heard of the staff's subsequent endeavour Sailor Moon. GW sports the same design sensibilities and craftsmanship as Sailor Moon, making it one of the best looking anime of its ilk. Every individual scene is enjoyable in its own right, even without context, because the visuals are so outstanding. Just looking at the visuals makes me feel good. Beautiful watercolour backgrounds, with a soft pastel palette that are often swapped out abruptly with much harsher colours for comedic emphasis. An effect that is heightened when used incombination with abstract backgrounds that implement a paper crafts look, with crayon, marker, chalk and paper cutouts.nnThe characters are just as important to the look of the show, with highly expressive animation that shifts between art styles on a dime, greatly contributing to the show's comedy.nThe main cast is relatively small, with a handful of principal characters and about as many secondary characters, but there is never a dull moment because the cast bounces off each other so well.nBackground classmates also have distinct character designs to help flesh out the setting though they rarely if ever shift out of their chibi/SD designs, emphasizing how inconsequential they are by literally taking up less of the screen.nnThe comedy of GW is rooted in the personalities/interactions/animation of its characters, energetic vocal performances, sight gags, cartoon visuals and fast paced editing. On occasion, GW also uses reference as comedy but those scenes still function for unaware audience members.nnGW is highly digestible, with 2 episodic segments per episode. However, these segments possess continuity and past events are referenced.nnWhat more can I say? If you're looking for a good time, this is it!
