Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again - How it feels great to turn young again, even if it's fiction.
In the Bible, it is stated in the Book of Genesis that there exists the Garden of Eden, which has the duality of the Trees serving different purposes: the Tree of Life, and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. God does not give the prohibition for the Tree of Life, and it's free to be consumed...so why not take this idea, and turn it into an original work? And that's what you get with mangaka Kagiri Araido's Twitter/Pixiv web manga series: Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru a.k.a ...

"Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again" is an anime with a simple title and premise, yet it exudes an amazing amount of wholesomeness, warmth, and life motivation.
The story begins with an elderly couple waking up one day to find themselves young again for some inexplicable reason. Realizing they haven't truly experienced life to the fullest, they embark on a journey to embrace this newfound gift and enjoy life to the fullest. While the premise may seem straightforward, it's the progression of the story that truly sets it apart. Rather than solely focusing on the romantic moments between the rejuvenated couple, the anime delves into how those ...

Even today I still hear people say that anime are just cartoons for children. With the end of Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru I reaffirm that anime is only a medium to tell stories of all kinds, in this case it was a quite emotional one.
The stories of the grandparents who rejuvenate at first seem like they would put the grandparents in all kinds of scenarios to tell a joke. Although due to the sketch format some segments were like that, throughout the 11 chapters they also talked about serious, sad, romantic and family things. The grandparents only needed 5 minutes on screen to let us know, ...

The basic plot is that an old married couple discovers a fruit from the first tree they planted, which grants them youth and allows them to live young again. What will they do now that they are young, and how will others react?
The art is standard; the main characters look okay in their youth, retaining their grey hair but being young beyond that. The characters are more or less one-dimensional, with no signs of a need to develop them. The episodes are similar to one-off episodes, so you can watch any episode consecutively without needing to watch it. It was not something I found ...

This anime revolves around two grandparents, Shouzou and Ine Saitou, as they turn young again. Before this show aired, I read the synopsis for this series and was immediately intrigued because the possibilities that you could do with a story like this is seemingly endless, and on top of that, the concept of giving grandparents the opportunity to do new things that they never could’ve done when they were younger is very wholesome by itself. When this show actually started airing, I was immediately sold on the cute and comedic dynamics that this show presents due to both Shouzou and Ine turning young again. On ...

This show is a little hard to review in some ways but, yeah, this one deserves all the praise it's been given, maybe more even. For those who don't wanna read a whole long review and are good with a general idea or overview, you'll certainly like it if you enjoy more slow paced, comedy, slice of life, or relaxing type anime, e,g Aharen-san wa Hakarenai type of show. Now then onto the review.
What is this? And also what isn't it? Grandma and Grandpa turn young again, or Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru, is a show that seems on the surface to be a simple old couple ...

Possibly the best wholesome anime I have watched in a while...gotta say it's definitely not boring and damn the characters are adorable and have a good story behind them...this genre is kinda rare but it was a good adaptation of such genre I hope we get some animes like this in future...but I am greedy I know this anime is supposed to be a single season anime but damn I hope for a new season the animation is good surprisingly! Also the story in each episode is kinda unique I would actually love to have a special season where they have each episode dedicated to ...

There are pros and cons, but I Give 10/10 For the original and very healthy story. I would give Oscar to this.
Spoiler-free review with all pros and cons: This anime is the true definition of Love. There is not much romance, but it shows what true love should be like. I feel jealous of them as all the characters in the anime. Because Today people lack the concept of true love, and as said the main pro is the Concept of love, "will always love till death does you apart". It's So touching, it's so cute, it leaves you with positive and fuzzy feelings ...

TLDR: Pleasantly moving.
The whole story is right in the title. If you jump in expecting much more, your expectations will be dashed. It does explorer the mystical aspects but is far from the main story. The focus is of course the elderly couple and their newfound energy but more importantly, good looks. Strangely it doesn't change their personality as various scenarios play out with their children, grandchildren, neighbours, appearance and memories. There wasn't much to explore and so the creators did the right thing. Keeping the series 11 episodes long and wrapping up things just as a repetitive vibe was kicking in was the best ...

This series needs more attention. It's simply beautiful, and has one of the best endings I have seen in over 50 years. In an industry that regularly fudges endings horribly, this one was about perfect for me; a very welcome change of pace.
The series itself is a fantasy/slice of life, that is laid back and focuses mainly on the mundane aspects of being a family. The unclean isekai/shonen/mecha masses need not apply here. The writing was sweet situational comedy, not so much gag driven, although there are some good gag sequences. The character designs were very believable for me. All four generations of this ...

I loved the story, it was simple and straightforward, an old couple suddenly become young again, and the surprise that comes along with it (quite lower than it would be in reality). There's the lovely joke of them still acting like an old couple despite being young again, and all the simple yet romantic shared moments between them that can only be achieved after a lifetime together.
I loved this anime, but it's not for those who dislike slow paced, simple stories with a simple argument. Now, to answer the questions it offers when saying my review needs more information: Is the story unique? Yes and no. Yes ...

Obasan, ojisan !!!
Jiisan Baasan wakagaeru is an anime about a couple of japanese elderly that one day turn 20 years old again. Before everything, i must warn, if you don´t like the anime ... try other time, when you get older. It is really difficult to understand some parts of the anime if you are less than 30 years old. You really must be a older person to understand a lot of things ... History wise you already know the end of the anime in the first eps ... and the end really don´t matter. What really matter is how sometimes love comes in different forms ...

This anime taught me a lot. If we are going straight plot story line, this anime isn’t for everyone. Typically people want an anime with consecutive story. But this anime feels like a 4 manga in a way which some episodes that continue.
I think the theme of this was how old age doesn’t affect love. Sure there wasn’t any kissing scenes but it shows that even if they are old, young, how they look, they still love each other from the beginning even without as much physical . The ending scene was honestly good and I was happy it ended. I was sad but ...

I just finished watching this anime and to sum it up, it has interesting beginning, adequate middle, and great ending.
Before I start reviewing, there's a criteria I exclude. I have seen the manga, but stopped halfway knowing it was getting an anime adaptation. The first impression I had was its lack of good animation. The animation feels low-budgeted and was stuck to the manga style. I personally don't mind this, but if you're the type that likes good animation, this ain't it. In other words, I'm not rating the animation. Story Extremely wholesome SoL (for a supernatural tag) and I gotta love how they depicit family ...

In a world where relationships come and go (and that's okay). Where love is not usually long, (and that's okay). And perhaps there is family dysfunctionality. This beautiful anime comes to show us the happiness of being alive, love, family union and enjoy the present through a fantastic complement, which gives a great lesson in real life. A Slice Of Life story that will make you think: Will a fruit that returns two old people to be young be funny or meaningful? Short answer: YES, SUPER YES.
You can't miss this little story of grandparents, about their life full of ups and downs like everyone ...

You'll never guess what this show is about! I really love that this show didn't do the old trope of "Oh no, something magical happened! Gotta keep it a secret so that we can maintain normalcy and blend into society!" Nah, instead grandma and grandpa are like "Heck ya! This is awesome! Let's go party!" It's a blend of them making up for what they weren't able to do during their youth, while also just going about their daily business but with more energy than they had before. It was so incredibly cute and wholesome with a lot of beautiful emotional bits that stem from ...

Recently there is a beautiful trend of animes exploring the intricacies of relationships...but not in the superficial and usual way of your romcoms.
These shows actually portray people getting together, the sacrificies that must be done in order to generate a healthy and lenghty relationship and all the obstacles of raising a family through the years. This is a show about this...and how even though time takes a toll on our mortal bodies...when the feelings are true enough...love survives everything. Above all it's a show that reminds us that we need to care for those around us and value them while they are still around. Definitely a cute ...
Aug 25, 2024
Well written. This show really shows that a LOT of things could happen when you are basically given a second chance at life. Its a heart warming story and a comedic one at that.
Everyday being a new turn of events one right after another, where we get to learn more and more about the characters backstory which is quite intriguing because they each have their own predicaments and they just need a "spark" to help them solve their own troubles. It just goes to show that people regardless of their age will need help eventually even though, people tend to believe a stigma that ...

It starts off delivering precisely what I expected to see in of simple presentation and comedy. The joke of 'old people becoming young again but still acting like old people' can only carry for so long and the cheap-looking visuals (especially in the opening and ending animations) alongside the heavily-recycled facial reaction I got sick of seeing didn't help, either. Nitpicky stuff, for sure, but I likely would have stopped watching after the first week of it's airing had there been anything better to do with my time on the Sundays that followed. Good thing I'm a, uh, boring person, I guess? Aside from ...
Dec 21, 2024
Jiisan baasan wakagaeru is pretty much self explanatory from the title as to what it has to offer, it's the story of a old couple who turn young and the story proceeds from there covering how they spend their remaining life and how it leads to intresting developments.
Though the narration uses a very unnatural plot device mixed in with lack of realism and low level animation, which may not to be everyone's liking, the true charm of the show lies elsewhere. The show really highlights the differences between generations, how time changes a person's perspective of their life, like how to a parent their child will ... |
