Kirei ni Shitemoraemasu ka.

Don't let the dry cleaner's facade fool you; this is about discovering in which episode the protagonist will commit a crime against a minor. The first two episodes are almost too good to be true. They're everything you'd expect from the premise. A girl who does laundry gives us different tips that we can apply in real life, all with a very relaxed tone of voice. During the first few weeks of the anime's airing, I watched every episode and fell asleep. I don't mean that negatively; on the contrary, it fulfilled its role as an Iyashikei (a term of endearment for someone who likes to relax before bed). It was an anime made to be watched after a long day, after a nice bath, after dinner, but before going to sleep. It was a super atmospheric anime that you wanted to add to your weekly routine because it helped you sleep peacefully. And everything was fine, until the nation of grossness attacked. Suddenly and without warning, they force a romance between the protagonist, who's in her 20s, and a high school boy. I know many people won't mind, because the internet is vast, but in this story, it makes you wonder, "Was it really necessary for him to be a high school boy?" Given the nature of the story, any adult would have worked, even a college student would have been a better fit for the romance. Even so, they said no, that the protagonist had to be a depraved woman or the anime wouldn't be made. Indeed, the girl takes advantage of various situations to almost kiss him, sleep with him on a stormy night, or show him her underwear. There comes a point in the story where you just want to call the police to protect all the boys in the neighborhood. The series couldn't recover. It completely lost the relaxing and atmospheric tone it had at the beginning. The fanservice became more aggressive as the story progressed. Fanservice isn't a major issue in many genres, but in Slice of Life/Iyashikei anime, it's particularly blatant. It's very noticeable and intrusive; you come to relax, not to find out how many people in town have seen the protagonist's underwear. The fanservice breaks the immersion, disrupts the relaxation, and starts to generate a certain level of disgust. On top of that, it has a plot about the protagonist having no memories, which is strange because it's selective amnesia. The protagonist doesn't remember how to use social media, but she never forgot how to groom a minor. The anime had the potential to be a great anime, worthy of its genre. Unfortunately, the story wasn't developed, and blatant fanservice was chosen instead. This ended up killing the anime and tarnishing the reputation of its protagonist.

Wash it all away is yet another frustrating watch because on one hand, I love Kinme, she’s gorgeous and one of the most loveable protagonists of the season. I also enjoyed learning the ins and outs of running a cleaning business. Whether it was the actual cleaning process itself, the machinery, the business end of things, it opened my eyes and gave me a new appreciation for all the local cleaning shops. Then it all goes out the window when this show insists on forcing fanservice and romance with a minor. It’s such a weird dichotomy because 50 percent of an episode will be the most wholesome and educational stuff, then you have 10 minutes spent on Kinme ass shots, pit shots, random bouncing titties and Kinme trying to groom a high school kid. For some of you that’s going to be a “yay sign me up” more power to you. For me, it was really disconcerting and took me out of the viewing experience. A shame because I do think this series has potential and the amnesia plot line is interesting, it just doesn’t know what it wants to be. I used the term identity crisis a lot when describing this show this season and I stand by that being what this show struggles with. It goes from wholesome slice of life cleaning sim to ecchi romance on a dime and it makes it hard to take either of them seriously. If they came out the gate and established this as an ecchi, fair enough, but going back and forth and expecting me to take you seriously.. yea, no. I just want to see a cute girl teaching me how to remove stains from clothes or restoring old tapestries, I’m not here for a groom off. I was totally fine with the young man having a crush on Kinme, she’s gorgeous, talented, has that girl next door vibe etc., and he’s a young hormone filled teenager, it’s normal. What’s not normal is how she interacts with him when we have established the fact she’s an adult. You can tell it’s a male targeted work because it leans into this heavily, especially in the last few episodes. I’m not even opposed to romance in this story, like there’s several adult women Kinme could’ve been shipped with because yuri is justice. Or hell, you could’ve introduced a regular adult guy as a customer, kept the high school kid as a little brother figure, etc., but no, you had to take the worst possible romance option.. the fanservice stuff I’m not opposed to either, if it were done better. The scenes just feel so random and out of character for Kinme. They don’t fit the tone of the story. It just feels like a lot of stuff mashed together that isn’t cohesive here in my opinion. The actual cleaning sequences are really good, I learned a lot of techniques and methodology, seeing Kinme overcome difficult cleaning jobs and try unconventional approaches was also dope. Her work ethic and commitment to customer satisfaction was so endearing because it’s a small town and so many people rely on her, bringing their most prized belongings to be restored by her and the way she’s determined to never let them down.. she’s such a cool character. I would’ve liked more on her amnesia plot line, felt like they set that up and it went MIA for weeks until the end, but other than that, the story itself is solid. The way Kinme connects with the town through her business was sweet. Production values look good here. Show is beautiful, character designs, especially Kinme, are awesome, decent voice acting and the direction is surprisingly good too. I know I had a lot of complaints in the first half of the review, but I didn’t hate this show. I just think it wasted potential and could’ve been even better. I still love the premise, love Kinme and her relationships with the townspeople. It’s really wholesome and heartwarming for 60 percent of these episodes and there’s just that 40 percent that’s.. weird for me. Definitely not a bad watch though and I’ve got the first few manga volumes, so I’ll check them out. Wash it all away gets 7 towels out of 10.

Are you searching for relaxing, clean, cute and sweet anime? This is the masterpiece of slice of life animes! Kinme owns a small laundry and puts her soul into cleaning things. She has a lot of customers and delivers clothes directly to their homes every day! Kimne regularly prints extremely cute posters. Kinme has a wonderful personality. I was fascinated by her from the first episode. She is reliable, friendly and very kind. She likes to clean and goes for a run every morning. And she has beautiful black hair. When she smiles she looks like sun! Of course she is not perfect and she also has her flaws. Also Kinme lost her memories two years ago, at the same time as she open her laundry, but the anime never really explains her past but it adds something mysterious. Over the course of the episodes, three main things happen in the anime: Kinme washes clothes and textile items, gets closer to other characters, and gets better at her job. It may sound boring to watch someone clean their clothes, but it was really enjoyable. You can see how much effort Kinme puts into it. It's not very surprising that Kinme becomes friends with her customers. In my opinion, her closest friend is Yagara Asami. They are not very similar, but they complement each other perfectly. In one part, they go to dinner together, which I was very pleased because we learned more about how Kinme spends her free time with her friends. Her personality also appeals to Nairo, an adorable little girl in town. Kinme teaches her washing techniques, and Nairo then teaches her how to use social media, helping Kinme gain new customers. I can't forget Ishimochi Kyuushou. When I was just looking at the official MAL website, he is listed as a main character, of course under Kinme. Honestly, it surprised me and didn't surprise me at the same time. I think he is in almost every episode and he is the main love interest for Kinme. I would say on the contrary, because Kinme doesn't perceive him that way, she sees him as a friend. I think he is quite interested in her. If we see the second season, it will be very interesting with him. Then there are his friends. They don't appear very often in the anime, but they are still interesting characters. About halfway through the series, Kinme befriends Hatsuayu Uka, a very shy but sweet girl. They go on a trip to an island together after Kinme helps her with her career. They're going to do modeling together! And lastly, we have the owner of the place where Kimme's laundry is located. The old lady rents it to her. She has such a mysterious personality and Kinme sometimes can't tell if she's joking or serious. She pretends to be hostile but she likes Kinme and Kinme knows it and understands her. Oh, a total Tsundere! Definitely watch this series.

it was good... on early episodes cause it was educational but yeah since it was 12 episode anime it would naturally dried up so the goal after that was they don't know so they give this random ass story for the main girl that didnt explain throughout the series, showing her daily life, showing story to her costumers, introducing online advertising to the girl, fan service, LEADING US SUPER HARD to romantic scenes that would make us think it has potential for romance but in the end nothing happen lol, ngl main girl turn into onee-san personification mascot most of the episodes. aside from the main girl the anime is seriously lost on its own anime, idk wtheck director's thinking when making this anime. ITS WAY TOO OUT OF PLACES!, it would be better if they make this anime short episodes or just make it 3-4 episodes only, in the end it shape closer to daily life anime without conclusion to even one thing SPECIALLY when they leading us way too hard to romance but wont progress it than just single life onee-san im seriously mad cause it has a solid romance potential but they didnt go for it and having a past but didn't show despite they have a chance to show it since they have a lot of episodes, now idk if they did this on purposed cause maybe they planning for season 2? if they are it explained how this season was out of places

This is yet another anime where the author didn't want to commit to anything. No matter what you go into this one expecting to find, I think you'll be disappointed in not really getting it. It's got too much fanservice and romantic subplot stuff if you just want a relaxing Slice of Life, but if you want romance, it doesn't execute it well or deliver anything. It's honestly a real problem in anime like this where they try to make it for as many audiences as possible, and want to drag it out for as long as possible so they can sell more volumes/issues/seasons. There is simultaneously too much and not enough of each element, depending on what you're looking for, that it's hard to say who would finish this and find themselves truly satisfied. If it had just committed to one thing; cur the romance and just make it a comfortable SoL, or actually deliver on romantic progress and make that a clear point of the plot, I think it would have at least satisfied one group or another. But I can't really see this satisfying anyone, except maybe the people who are still into exactly this sort of outdated Heisei era 'almost romance' that was so overwhelming a decade or two ago. All tease and buildup, no payoff, no resolution, no progress, no character evolution or growth, etc. Just an endless stream of disconnected 'aww that's cute they almost...' set pieces that don't go anywhere.

As usual, a truly good anime is embodied with some professional real world knowledge, This time, a rather uncommon and surprising theme of clothes cleaning. With good art and relaxing music quality, there is no reason why I would not rate this anime with a high score. I enjoyed watching the anime while learning some small things about clothes maintenance, which helps me appreciate the work professional cleaning stores are doing. But the storyline doesn't seem to have ended yet. I would love to watch second season if there is one. Completing the plot in a nice way would make it a true masterpiece.

okay the premise was intriguing cus cmon who doesn't want to watch anime about laundry? It's interesting. And yes throughout the show, they gave us tips and tricks about laundrying which can come in handy! The sceneries are beautiful, scoring was relaxing and well fitted the anime, animation kinda mid, and sometimes the graphics can be meh. But they really really really ruined the whole anime by so many unnecessary fanservice! It was a lot and so unnecessary for an anime with the focus for relaxation and finding comfort. If it was an action or romance or fantasy anime maybe u can put some fanservice to attract the viewers (which mostly male) but for an iyashikei anime that tend to heal the audience with relaxing, little conflict, slow paced story u don't need fanservice and to make it worse it was a lott. It was such a waste tht anime with huge potential turns into another super male gaze full of fanservice anime.

**"Wash It All Away" Review** **Plot:** 5/10 **Supporting Characters:** 5.5/10 **Romance:** 4/10 **Enjoyment:** 5/10 **Introduction:** 6.1/10 **Main Characters:** 6/10 Overall, it's a decent slice-of-life show. You can watch it if you have a lot of time on your hands, but you won't be missing out on much if you choose not to. It's just like any average slice-of-life series. The story isn’t really unique and feels quite predictable most of the time, but if you already like this genre, you might still enjoy it a bit. The art style fits the calm slice-of-life vibe and looks clean, nothing special but works fine. The characters are okay, they have some basic strengths and flaws, but they’re not very deep or memorable. Their reactions feel normal sometimes, but overall still a bit generic. I think people who enjoy slow and relaxing shows might like it more, but for others, it could feel too average and forgettable.

Personal Opinion As someone who has read the manga before, if it weren't for the incredibly bland animation, I would have expected to see Kinme's process of cleaning, scrubbing, polishing, and fixing the clothes. Instead, I was met with PowerPoint slides and minimal animation, which greatly diminished the story's charm. However, the core theme "Kinme's service in preserving the clothes of people filled with memories" is presented clearly and effectively, even if it's a bit too faithful to the original (with only a few scene rearrangements and some scenes cut) It's still arranged logically and aligns with the main storyline. Credit must go to the scriptwriter, they truly carried the show. And most importantly, for those watching without reading the manga: A Little Bit of Spoil Kinme, the protagonist in the manga Original, doesn't date minors and doesn't have a romantic relationship with Kyusho. So, there's no need to worry about the moral compass of viewers, especially white people, being tarnished while watching this. Rest assured.

Very enjoyable show if you love slow life anime This type of anime is really nice to watch after working all day and just want to relax a lot of wholesome and cute moments with characters interaction it's not just that but they also showed us how to do right laundry such as different clothes need different handling, i always thought laundry only wash the clothes and fold it but this show made my realize it's not easy to wash different type of clothes I think if they're brave enough to put some romance in it and not just bait it will be perfect They always make kinme & kyu blushing when they're talking but they didn't do anything about that and just leave it without any development the fan service it's kinda stupid though ,kinme is an adult but she changed her clothes outside on a beach?! also when kyu was stuck with her during rainstorm she doesn't mind wearing revealing cloth, maybe kinme think kyu is just a boy but still it's kinda stupid for letting her guard down like that when sleeping with highschool boy overall i really love the show and i recommend it to anyone who just want to chill and watching something nice without thinking about the plot

A laundry slice of life anime? Well, I don’t know who could possibly be interested in such a premise but it sure is original. Made by the Sankarea author? Well, the man shows some variety at least. Anyways, yeah, a woman runs a laundry shop, and as usual when slice of life shows are centered around a very specific topic, they can be quite educational about it, since it was never explored much or at all in fiction. Besides that, more customers keep appearing throughout the show, both old and new for the main character, and she shows great concern for their clothes or other items, as they are important for the people and contain some memories in them. Or at least that should be the case but honestly, I can remember like two cases where that was actually the case, while the rest of the episodes and segments do show the main character taking care of clothes, bags, dolls or whatever, but without any special personal story behind them. But anyways, it’s a iyashikei/healing type of slice of life show you watch to see the protagonist do her mundane job but in a cute, light and relaxing way, and interact with her customers outside her shop in an equal manner, to release that pent up stress throughout the day, and there’s nothing extremely bad in it that would go against that feeling and intention. It also helps that it is audiovisually pleasing with solid artwork and pretty backgrounds, as well as equally mostly pretty characters, outside of some old ones. I can’t say much for the visuals regarding the actual animation or special effects, but there are even decent visual distinctions between day and nighttime, rare to see in anime nowadays. The sound department is also fine, soothing sound effects and music, cute relaxing opening and ending songs, the voice acting can be a bit high pitched and tryhard cutesy for the intended feel of the show, but it’s tolerable. With that said, even among slice of life shows, this one is quite shallow, as there is almost no character with some kind of personality that stands out or some kind of backdrop or personal drama to make them or their stories behind their clothes more memorable. I can’t say I will remember this anime in a week or so because of that. I mean the series hints at some drama around the protagonist, but it is only mentioned a few times and never explored. Other slice of life shows have characters with practically no story behind them as well, but they are honest about that from the get go and don’t add an unnecessary element that won’t be looked into later on in any way. That’s not the case with Wash it All Away, which added an amnesiac protagonist to its writing for no reason. Just play it straight. The other issue is the romantic tension in the show, which is just about some highschool boy slowly developing a crush on the main character. It never goes beyond that and some mild boob shots that are so tame that I don’t even count them as ecchi or fanservice, but why even include those problematic elements in the first place? Just remain pure and wholesome like it was intended to be. I would also complain about the main character being such a clutz to the point of not knowing what social media is big 2026, and I don’t mean that for the year the anime came out, I mean that in-story the anime takes place even in our future. It feels like a bit of a forced way to make her seem cute and innocent. The anime is based on a finished manga but I don’t know if this adaptation covered the whole of it or left some stuff to be adapted, but I don’t really see this one getting another season. So anyways, if you don’t let those rather minor issues bother you, the series does its job as yet another relaxing show you watch to kill some time and calm down once a week just fine, before you move on to the next thing next season.

I watched Kirei ni Shitemoraemasu ka, You can tune in and tune out, yes, it's one of those anime. You get what you asked for by reading the synopses and there is nothing more to it, no big reveal, no stakes, well almost no stakes and that is perfectly fine. The backgrounds are stunning and in my opinion alongside the soothing soundtrack the main reason to tune in. It's a Travelvlog ad in a way, you want to be there, and you kinda are. For 20 minutes you can relax, let the scenery pop in front of you and calm yourself down. The show takes potshots at a romantic subplot but ultimately doesn't go anywhere. If you've seen similar shows this is familiar to you. You WILL learn about cleaning and properly maintaining clothing articles, and some segments you can apply to your way to the washing machine and/or washerette. This approach to display hobby- or handywork activities, for the keen observer of this kind of genre anime, is infact not new either and will also be very familiar to you. I watched Kirei ni Shitemoraemasu ka, and if you want to enjoy the gorgeous japanese seaside resort town and tropical get-away vibes and discover how you can properly maintain your laundry I believe you should too.

This anime had a pretty weak storyline. I can say that I had the same expression throughout the entire anime; it wasn't exciting, but it didn't bother me that much either. However, if I analyze it differently, it was somewhat educational in certain parts, since it shows us how to deal with cleaning everyday clothes. Even though it's summarized, it talks about how to treat clothes taking into account the fabric, the type of stain (in a few cases, considering how long the clothes have been dirty and what type of stain it is, which could be sweat, food, or even mold), and the age (years) of the clothes. The anime was okay to pass the time, but since there was a question left unanswered by the end regarding her memory loss after a certain point, you finish a little frustrated. So, from my point of view, only watch it if you're really keen and have plenty of time to pass the time with anything, or a slight interest in laundry, because if you're watching it for the story, you'll probably give up in the first few episodes.

This show was really something. I started watching it expecting Ruri Rocks like show and what I got was premium doujin material. More on that later on. Animation and music: This is where the show is really strong. Animation is beautiful and coherent during the entire runtime. Music was also great. The piano tunes really brought uniqueness to the show. Overall - animation and music are really well done. No complains in this department. Characters: This is the first issue with the show. We have Kinme Wakana who on first look seems very interesting. A girl who lost all her memories and is now working as a cleaner in small town. People would expect something more of that but in the end she remains the same as she was at the start of the show - cheerful and nice local young women who does not find it hard to carry washed laundry all around town to those who cannot pick it up themselves. It does not help that other characters are basically the same as her if not even worse for the lack of personality. We have local high-school boy and his mom, his friends who are siblings, little girl that likes photography, old landlady etc... Out of all of them I would say only old landlady and local guide are kind of interesting characters. The rest are all walking tropes without any change in personality even if in anime more than half a year ahs passed. Overall - characters in this series are very weak personality-wise, even the main female lead. Story: And this is the second main issue with the show - the story goes nowhere. They set up this interesting premise where she lost all her memories, which can itself lead to all kind of possibilities but unfortunately they never did anything with this except few moments of reminiscing here and there. No bad guys to go after her, or loved ones to try to find her, nothing... The rest of the story is just her doing her job and interacting with local people. There are some minor arcs but nothing major, 90% of the time she is stuck in the town and interacting with people. Oh, the thing at the beginning I mentioned - for a slice of life show it has way too many ecchi scenes. Like, so much that I started to doubt if they got the tags wrongs. While some fanservice is not bad here and there, Ruri Rocks also had that when they did cosplay, here they really went all with it. And there is this kind-of forced romance between her and Kyuu, the local high-school boy, which does not go anywhere but the two of them find themselves in interesting situations here and there. Did I mentioned that Kinme is young adult women in her 20's and Kyuu is anywhere between 15 and 18? Some people are defending this as 'not that bad' but just reverse the genders and entire feel changes completely. Overall - the story had promise but it goes nowhere. While there are certain events happening like trips or festivals nothing changes in the big picture and they never explore the interesting premise that they set at the start. Overall grade: 8 for me. Realistically it is between 6 or 7. It is not a bad show but lack of progress and morally debatable forced romance really hampered it down. I would recommend it as an anime that you want to watch to have a bit of laugh and enjoy all the echhi scenes. Once you do you will understand why is there so many doujins of this anime. I didn't read the manga but from what I heard it is finished and there is good chunk left to be adapted. Will they ever made season 2... I doubt but if they ever release it I will watch it just to see how it all ends.

So we approach this series knowing it is a Seinen slife of life based on a manga. It is very much your standard slice of life with small mishaps around Atami which involve Kinme, many times not even about cleaning directly, but learning how to service an aging community of elders in a seaside town. She is an altruistic person full of energy, learning about a city through their clothes and other small interactions. It is absolutely on-brand for real life Japanese life and refreshing to see Kinme as someone who is older than your standard high school protagonist can actually deal with these situations. One of the themes in particular is how bath houses are a physical opening up of yourself (nudity) and a social way that Japanese learn and help about each other in such a close community. The techniques she uses for cleaning are really in-depth and actually made me want to take notes because stains are such a universal problem for anyone. The author clearly had a lot of passion about this and it shows. The reason I rate Wash it All Away so 'low' is because within the 12 episodes you get, Kinme is a fanservice character in the sense she is incomplete. It feels like the anime is selling you about life in Atami rather than about Kinme herself. Certainly not the first time like Okitsura or Love Live Sunshine, but these shows have compelling characters AND an exploration of their city's culture. Outside of cleaning, she has one main trait which is that she has amnesia, and is barely explored once in episode 8. While this is probably addressed in the manga, you get to episode 12 and feel like you don't know why you took the journey. Surely the intention is for you to get the manga to learn, but there is so little investment to it, it doesn't make you actually care enough. The romantic tension with Kyuushou is also a bit weird because he is younger than her so he's the insert for the male reader, but Kinme doesn't feel any particular emotion to him other than embarrassment over the smallest of things. I genuinely enjoyed the trip knowing it was slice of life, but the ending not addressing any of the interesting points brought up throughout the story left me pretty frustrated.

From the very first episode, it’s clear what this anime is all about. It’s another in a long line of relaxing, chilled-out anime where you can unwind and just be. We follow a young woman who runs a dry cleaner’s and builds friendly relationships with her regular customers. And that’s basically all this anime is about. It’s a truly relaxing experience. Everything unfolds in a relaxing spirit; there are no conflicts, no stressful situations, or anything like that. Most of the characters know each other in some way. And it feels like a typical village or small town where everyone knows each other and helps one another. Throughout the anime, we also learn a little about the actual process of cleaning clothes—how it works, how to remove various stains, and so on. Which is something you can actually use in real life. Unfortunately, there isn’t as much of this information as you might wish, but it’s nothing that spoils the impression of this anime. Which, unfortunately, cannot be said about other aspects. The plot doesn't move forward at all here. Yes, you might argue that this isn't necessary in a relaxing slice-of-life series. And you'd be right. Kirei ni Shitemoraemasu ka does introduce a "plot point," but it doesn't make any use of it. Kimne suffers from amnesia and can only remember the last two years of her life. Unfortunately, the anime doesn’t work with this at all. Throughout the entire series, we learn nothing about Kimne’s past, and she herself doesn’t even try to find out anything. An effort to uncover her past could have led to interesting character development. Because that’s also missing here. Kimne is just as sweet, hardworking, and naive at the end as she was at the beginning, and she practically doesn’t grow at all. Another issue, though this depends on personal preference, is the fan service. There’s a lot of it here. It’s completely unnecessary, but on the other hand, it’s not such a major problem that it significantly spoils the overall experience. Which definitely can’t be said about the last skeleton in the closet. There’s another plotline here. And that one doesn’t go anywhere either. Unlike the memory plot, however, this is a good thing. The anime slowly but surely builds up or hints at the beginnings of a romance between Kimne and Kyuushou. Between a grown woman, who is estimated to be 25+, and a high school boy. Due to the anime’s slow pace, nothing happens between them. But there are more than enough hints of a potential future development. You could say nothing would happen because she’d reject him due to the age difference. But even just what happens in the anime is quite disturbing for a relaxing anime. Despite all that, I’d cautiously recommend the anime. It has its issues, but the relaxing and charming atmosphere slightly outweighs them. Especially if you’ve already seen the best this genre has to offer. If not, go watch Yuru Camp; it’s also relaxing and much more funny.

Ill try to keep this review short as there really isnt much to talk about other than some mysteries in this season. I honestly watched this show just because it was written by the author of sankarea and was kinda suprised in the shift of genres, as most authors normally sticked to one type of genre or vibe for a second series. The show overall is pretty enjoyable, i honestly like the side characters and what they have to offer. In the beginning this show was pretty slow but it honestly helps in a way to introduce you what the MCs day to day life is like, and as the series went on we get to see her growth with the characters which shes first time meeting. I adore her relationship with Naira, its very adorable honestly, i like how the MC isnt too harch on Naira and honestly understands that shes a kindergarten kid so thats pretty cute. The ship in the series to me feels a bit off especially knowing that the guy is like 16 or older, but ive gone used to it by now. Although its a slowburn romance when they do meet up i feel like the author tries too hard on making them ship like, chill brother, i dont mind the romance being a side plot but i just wished it couldve been executed a bit better than what we are given. The animation overall is alright and the quality is consistent throughout this season. One thing that bothers me is the authors disguised armpit fetish lol, like the author really likes making the MC show her pits like 60% of the time lol, but i honestly dont mind it hehehehe. Other than that, i hope we get a season 2 of this show, especially since we know there are more to uncover, like the previous owner of the cleaning shop and whyd they left the belongings in the store and the bunny doll at the end, and of course what happened to the MC and whys she got amnesia in the first place. I dont mind this season not really going into it as mystery isnt really the main plot of this show, and this early parts honestly is more of an introduction to the environment shes in and the people she meets. So, i hope we get more seasons in the future and hopefully it can go more in to depth about those questions just now. All in all, its a pretty chill show, nice to turn your brain off and just let it ride in the background or whatever youre doing, but i honestly liked it, not the best nor the worst, but its pretty enjoyable for me.

I finished the first season of Wash it all away and... it's a mixed bag. On the one side, the show is a wholesome SoL anime, and on the other side, the main romance is between a grown up and a minor... Firstly, you have to be aware that this is a slice of life anime, meaning that you shouldn't expect huge plot twists, big dramas etc... But it's not an issue because this anime has a decent pace, a good number of characters is introduced, it's fun to discover them and see the everyday life of the main character, Kinme. The idea of following a mc that owns a laundry shop fits well the sol vibe, you'll learn a few tips to wash your clothes, the mc is a light headed joyful person, the episodes are rather relaxing to watch. All those cute moments and scenes make the viewer question even more why the hell did they go for an adult/minor relationship as the main romance. It feels so out of place, kind of the many fan service scenes that are uninspired and repetitive. I'd say the biggest issue with this romance is that the boy being a highschooler brings litteraly nothing to the story : the exact same anime could have been made if he was a college student for instance. Or the author could have kept the highschoolers as support characters and introduce another customer that would have become the love interest... In the end, this anime could have been an interesting one, the cute sol vibe truly works in most episodes, except the ones where the anime promotes romance with minors, it's clearly out of place and there's not a single reason to explain this choice except the fact that the author wanted to write a deviant romance. Not a bad show per se but I can't recommend it, I can qualify by saying that there aren't any suggestive scenes for the romance, but you know, it's just weird to write that kind of romance.

German text below -------------------------- “Wash It All Away” is a twelve-episode anime series that captivates viewers above all with its warm-hearted protagonist. She is drawn with such love and charm that watching her literally warms your heart. The story follows a young woman who runs a small dry cleaning shop and gradually befriends the equally endearing residents of a tourist town. Something seems to be developing between her and a young man—but of course, she isn’t quite sure of her own feelings. As early as the second episode, it’s hinted that the protagonist has no memories of the time two years ago. At first, this sounds like an intriguing mystery that keeps you watching… and watching… and watching. Unfortunately, this mystery is mentioned maybe three or four times over the course of the twelve episodes without really moving the story forward. The encounters with the young man are also few and far between, so that by the end, there’s hardly any noticeable progress. I was bold enough to Google the story: The series is based on a Korean manhwa. There, the mystery of the memory loss is actually resolved, and the relationship between the two is developed. That sounded really exciting—and could easily have been incorporated into these twelve episodes. No, not just could have been, but actually should have been. Unfortunately, a lot of questions remain unanswered. Maybe they’ll be addressed in a second season, even though the story could easily have been wrapped up in a single season. -------------------------- Wash It All Away ist eine zwölfteilige Anime‑Serie, die vor allem durch ihre warmherzige Protagonistin besticht. Sie ist so liebevoll und liebenswürdig gezeichnet, dass einem beim Zuschauen regelrecht warm ums Herz wird. Die Geschichte folgt einer jungen Frau, die eine kleine Reinigung betreibt und sich nach und nach mit den ebenso liebenswerten Bewohnern eines Touristenortes anfreundet. Zwischen ihr und einem jungen Mann scheint sich etwas anzubahnen — doch natürlich wird sie sich ihrer eigenen Gefühle nicht wirklich klar. Bereits in der zweiten Folge wird angedeutet, dass die Protagonistin keine Erinnerungen an die Zeit vor zwei Jahren hat. Das klingt zunächst nach einem spannenden Rätsel, das einen dazu bringt, dranzubleiben… und dranzubleiben… und dranzubleiben. Leider wird dieses Mysterium in den zwölf Episoden vielleicht drei- oder viermal erwähnt, ohne dass es wirklich vorankommt. Auch die Begegnungen mit dem jungen Mann bleiben spärlich, sodass am Ende kaum ein Fortschritt spürbar ist. Ich war dann so frech und habe mir die Geschichte ergoogelt: Die Serie basiert auf einem koreanischen Manhwa. Dort wird tatsächlich aufgelöst, was es mit dem Gedächtnisverlust auf sich hat und wie sich die Beziehung zwischen den beiden entwickelt. Das klang richtig spannend — und hätte in diesen zwölf Folgen locker verarbeitet werden können. Nein, nicht nur können, eigentlich müssen. So bleibt leider vieles offen. Vielleicht wird es in einer zweiten Staffel erzählt, obwohl es problemlos in einer einzigen Staffel hätte abgeschlossen werden können.

OCD isn't a joke even I am suffering from it . The reason to discuss this because our mc named Kineme chan is a OCD patient who can't tolerate dirty and unorderly things . Some people might find this weird and cringe but this what makes this anime good . Usually we see sol regarding fantasy , romance and other things but daily life sol aren't much popular these days. So , happy to see this . Now the reason to rate this 7 because of unnecessary tag of romance . I expected to see some adult romance but what we got is some fanservice moments for a high school kid which is absolute terrible . I strongly believe author deliberately made kineme chan thick and added bikini shots in middle of every eps , not comp0alining but this absolute ragebaiting . I think there is some past which is tragic for kineme san so, she forgot everything as a psychological response from brain . Hope to see more depth in mc background in further seasons till then have a nice day .
