Non Non Biyori is an humanistic history.
Isn't the traditional Slice of Life series, this is so much than other series with same genre.
The story that tells us is so simple and does not get complicated at any time: girls living her life, day by day.
But, what is the difference between this anime and another Slice of Slife series?
I said it at the beginning! It's an humanistic story.
All the main characters are children under the "adolescence age", with minimalist problems, like the height (Komari), the fun (Natsumi) or discover the world (Renge), problems that we have when we are less than 15 years old.
Non Non Biyori is humanistic because each character behaves according to her age. Komari wants to be taller than Natsumi because she is the older sister and she wants to be more feminine. Natsumi only wants fun, and she's always making mistakes, but then she accepts that she failed, and Renge is discovering new emotions, adventures, wants to discover the world.
Finally, Hotaru, she is the point and apart of the story.
She comes from the city, she comes from a different life, and she contrasts with the other characters, since she has a different vision of life.
Something that I love from Hotaru, is her personality. unlike the others, she behaves differently with her friends and in her home. being this behavior, something normal of a city person.
As a functional person in society, you often have to maintain a different profile with your friends, family and co-workers, and this is what Hotaru's character transmits.
This is different with the other girls, who behave the same both at home and in groups, there is no social pressure that leads them to change their personality in different scenarios.
To finish, the anime will not introduce unnecessary ecchi or fanservice scenes, since it respects you as an observer, only you, the characters, and the context: the field.
That's the magic of Non Non Biyori.
