Reviews
Shima-chan loves Finland
This was my first time seeing Hiichan (Honda Hitomi) acting and what a treat this was! I'm used to seeing her being silly in AKB's variety shows so seeing her act was something different.Basically this is a very short and sweet show about a young woman that happens to love Finland.
I love this type of shows with an otaku as the main lead as seeing people talking about stuff they love is something I enjoy.
There are some nice messages and life lessons in every episode about finding something you love and going after it.
The production design was great. There are not many locations but her apartment is very cute with various Finnish trinkets.
And you may was well want to learn how to cook some Finnish recipes.
All in all this a perfect show if you want something quick to put a smile on your face.
