Spoiler free review. This is the most amazing anime i've ever seen, the storyline is just AWESOME! I liked it so much because i love anime/manga that have time travel, they are very interesting and fun to watch. Though they do tend to get a bit confusing... Anyway, i recommend this anime for all ages, because it's great and not for a certain age. I don't know much Japanese, but i watched the raw version and understood a bit. Sadly there isn't any English subs :( I think there is in Spanish, Arabic and a bunch of others. Dunno why there isn't one for English.. The Manga is kind of differentthan the anime, just a warning. Last but not least, even though this is an old anime, it will always be my favorite. It's so cute! Thank you for reading this!

Mama Wa Shougaku 4 Nensei is an anime that's very rare to come by in today's anime. The anime of today are drastically different than the past and that's true, especially the slice of life genre since MWS4N is exactly that. MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD The anime stars the duo Natsumi and Izumi: Natsumi is the 4th grader mother of the baby Mirai, and Izumi is Natsumi's young adult aunt who aspires to become a famous Shounen mangaka. These two are forced to raise baby Mirai after a time slip that caused Mirai's teleportation to their time. Izumi and Natsumi are then forced to raise Mirai until theycan find a way to bring Mirai back to her time. Natsumi throughout the course of the anime learns to mature more rapidly than children her age, since she has to raise her own child, keep that a secret, AND attend school full time. Izumi as well finally learns to confront her responsibility as an adult, and look after both Natsumi and Mirai as a guest in her own sister's house. This anime's beauty comes from its art style that perfectly represents the 90s, and from its colorful characters who make the episodes enjoyable. At the end of each episode, the characters develop tremendously as they learn from their mistakes, with Mirai playing the greatest role in all of this, being the trouble maker that she is. Mirai has a great resemblance to her grand aunt Izumi as well as taking her love for mischief from her (SPOILER) father Daisuke. Daisuke is revealed around episode 13-14 to be Natsumi's father(although none of the characters actually realize that), he as well starts to show his fatherly instincts and learns to love and care for Mirai and her mother. At the end of the anime he and Natsumi start to share mutual respect after years of bickering and childish jokes. MWS4N is now available in full english subs at nyaa(can't link you to it), so give it a try! (NOTE: I watched the arabic subbed version of MWS4N, fully available on YouTube)

this show was cute and I enjoyed it. I love the vibe of anime's 90 styles the atmosphere of the anime was cosy, mirari was so cute and adorable. but I wish they were focusing on the relationship between daisuki and natsumi i thought they were growing up romantically, I wanted to see more scenes when they were together but overall was good.I loved the character development of some characters like her aunt, honestly, she was annoying me at the first but I understood her feelings and situation, she was forced to raise a kid when she was trying to focusing on her work
