This was an awesome anime about family, youth, growing up, responsibilities, and ... I watched it a year ago and can't put this into good words anymore. But it was great and funny. I have no idea why it has an age rating from 9-12. I don't think many kids under 12 would enjoy this much, because it doesn't have a bunch of action and some of the themes are pretty mature for kids to understand.
