Set in contemporary Japan, the events that take place in mom’s life are many times hectic and super-crazy with deadlines and juggling two three kids at once.  Father can sometimes act a little like a child himself, but loves his dear children Fumi and Bunji as well and does everything he can, usually while holding a can.

I seem to have taken a liking to this anime, probably because it sort of gives an insight on how life as a cartoonist-parent living in Japan would be like.  I kind of think of this anime as a laid-back Japanese version of the Simpsons, with focus on the everyday life of hard-working mom.

If Mainichikaasan seems like your kind of kick-back family fun anime, click here to check it out at CrunchyRoll.com!  I give it two thumbs up.  Definitely a little different from your typical super-power mecha-suit vampire-spells anime, but worth a gander.  But don’t take my word for it!
