    Kira Kira Happy Hirake! Cocotama is not an anime that is meant to give you a breathtaking experience. Cocotama is a TV series that is intended for kids, and as such does not offer much for the adult mind, however, there are many aspects of the show that make it stand out from the crowd. Unique character designs, an interesting premise, and captivating music allow for Cocotama to make more of an impact than your average slice of life anime. Cocotama is not an anime meant for an adult looking for an engaging story with many twists and turns, but rather is a quaint experiencefor those who just want to watch an anime for cuteness and good morals.
