My first Asadora ever and I really liked to watch it. The 120 episodes went by actually very fast !

I liked especially how they went to detail with a holistic approach to cover the basics that "form" our weather and of course especially the regional aspects in Japan with the typhoons. That was very well incorporated within the struggle of the FL how to overcome the shadows of the past that actually were caused by extreme weather since even her birth and continue to have a major influence, on e.g. the fishing business. Also the weather forecaster office in Tokyo, the TV station and how they tried to make new business I thought was totally realistic, simply Japanese detailedness at it's best, also regarding the tree/forest business at the comminuty back near home at her first work place, all places filled with heartwarming likeable people.

Then of course there was so much ongoing while she was working in Tokyo, becoming a weather forecaster finally showing of her personal strengths finally while still not losing the connection to her home town. All the other family and island members were also covered nicely, though the only cast member I didn't like was Nagase Ren, didn't fit in my opinion. All people got struggles due to the historic events and everybody tried to help out making a better life. That lets you reflect on your own how to grow as a person, not to be to hard to yourself and how difficult it is to find your own path, keep or lose focus and allowing try & error also.

My only complaint was about the romance of the FL and ML. They seem to have such long times not seeing each other and I think the travel distance wasn't that far to meet on some weekends or so. Then I felt a lack of physical affection and as a couple I'd think you'd just would long for spending more time together somehow...talking once in a while on the phone isn't just enough. That's just my perspective and if they are okay with that, it's of course all fine by me, no offense and not me to judge...it just felt like it's lacking a bit while the subtle romance was nicely displayed. So I hope in the future they find a way to have a family and a better work&life balance :-)
