At The Halfway Mark with "Okaeri Mone"

Kaya Kiyohara wi Mio Imada
 At episode 60 we are officially at the halfway point of Okaeri Mone, and it is FINALLY picking up! Gone are the days of Mone’s bumbling up in the mountains afraid of tackling her goals, and now she is working hard in the big city to make her dreams of becoming a successful Weather Forecaster come true!
The past few episodes have been so good- in true NHK Asadora fashion, we have ALL the major cliches here: small town girl moves to big city, lodges with goofy landlord with eccentric tenants, best friend arrives and moves in with her, her love interest also coincidentally appears, etc, but it’s been SO doggone FUN and ENTERTAINING!!!
