About Carino Coni

Here is what Carino Coni (カリーノ・コニ) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy and slice of life anime by Robot (2014). In short: A shy little Carino Coni is a rabbit boy who just started to live alone in the forest away from his family. Everyday Coni's heart raises with joy playing with his siblings who lives nearby, but without warning cries of lonesomeness, which he cannot explain.

Along the way, this story is about all heart warming stories Coni encounters, and how he himself become not so lonely anymore as he gradually grows up.

In a fantasy series like this, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. This one is best suited to fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
