Honobono Log (ほのぼのログ) is a 10 episode slice of life series based on
the art book Fukamachi Naka Gashū Honobono Log ~Taisetsu na Kimi e~ by
Fukamichi Naka. The series was made available by NHK in Japan in June
of 2016.
Each episode is a two minute intimate snap shot into the mundane lives of love and relation. Episodes of deep love, unspoken understanding, consolation, acceptance and resolve. Each is made up of a few lines spoken between the characters, crafted in such a way as to show how deeply the characters care for each other. Coupled with the characters facial expressions and body language to show a greater history between them outside of the shows time frame.
Simplistic, very limited animation and little in the way motion, this series tells deep stories as basically as possible. The artwork is beautiful in its own right and the stories hit the emotion buttons strongly. This is an excellent example of how to tell a story in only a few words. I had been anticipating it since the series was announced earlier in the year. I was unfamiliar with the original work but was intrigued by the look of it. For fans of true to life stories, this will not disappoint.
There is no word on the series or the art book being made available outside of Japan.
