I just came back from a trip in the German and Swiss alps so Ive been thinking a lot about this show lol. The vibes really made me think about it and the little houses and everything truly are like Romeos village. Since Im writing this review some time after I actually completed the show my memory is a little foggy but the overall experience was very positive. The art style is dated but very charming. I may be biased because I really enjoy the retro style. Its very simplistic and the animation isnt gobsmackingly amazing but it is a show targeted towards children so I dont think it hinders it in any way. Although some episodes typical filler episodes that try to teach children moral lessons the plot can be very engaging at times. I felt myself become really attached to most of the characters even though the werent super developed. Romeo is a very sweet guy and you cant help but root for him. Albert is by far my favorite character though I always lean towards the smart ones. Its nothing super inventive but it tells its simple story with its simple characters well. The next part is a little spoilery but I think its what makes this show stand out to me so just skip it if you care about things like that. Anyways I just wanted to write this silly review because being in the alps kept making me think about this show and I noticed there were no reviews. Its definitely not for everyone because its pretty long over 12 is long for me lol and sometimes is a little bit of a slog to get through. Overall I do think that it is worth it if youre willing to look past its more childish elements. Also the opening is weirdly good like its not good but also it is? For some reason I can only find the Arabic version on YouTube but Im sure the original one is out there somewhere. Maybe I enjoy it because Im so deprived of anime openings that actually sound unique. I feel like every opening nowadays has the exact same format and its nice when I see something that does something different. Also the ending song is not something Id listen to every day but it is goofy and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it at the end of every episode. Very silly 10/10
