    The gag manga with slices of life continue, with the running jokes about people being surprised at them turning younger.

    Also scam callers, grrrr… but she could have done that in her old age too, unless her wits were scrambled with age.

    The best bit was about their son becoming a doctor and wanting to treat mom’s cancer, but not needing to.

    The heartwarming scene with the son was nice, but I still feel the show would fir a short from anime better. 24 minutes just feel like dragging on. I hope they establish something else plot wise going forward than the already overstaying running gag.

    Before the season started I had hoped from the synopsis that this show would explore common problems of youth from the perspective of someone with an entire lifetime of experience. Something young watchers could maybe take some positive life lessons away from, but right now all they would get is “ha ha, this young-looking couple acts so silly ha ha”. Maybe something along the lines of fixing a relationship instead of running off to the next imaginary soulmate. Or to not fight windmills when there’s really no other reason than stubbornness. The premise would have so much potential to be a worthwhile anime, but it feels to me that this is just lost in order to repeat the same slapstick joke again and again.
