This wonderful, heartfelt anime tells the kind of story that would make the Grinch's heart grow three times its size. There is no conflict or drama to be found here besides the occasional father-daughter kerfuffle. That may sound boring to some, but this lovely series is anything but.

Watching the relationship between the father and daughter grow after suffering such a painful loss will make you laugh and cry in equal measure. The character's journeys are aided by the fact that the series avoids any and all problematic tropes that plague the medium. It aims to tell a simple story about people bonding over cooking, and does just that.

Speaking of cooking by the way, do not watch this on an empty stomach. The food here looks absolutely delicious, and you'll wish you could reach through your screen and grab a bite. At 12 episodes, Sweetness and Lightning will steal your heart with its unapologetic wholesomeness.
