SYNOPSIS :
The story takes place in the land of AmberGround, a place of perpetual night only partially illuminated by an artificial sun. Lag Seeing works as a "Letter Bee" (delivery boy) at the "Bee Hive" (a delivery service), with his Dingo, Niche, and her "pet", Steak, traveling with him.

Storyline :
In the beginning, it was real nice as it slowly introduce all the characters and their intentions. Slowly, you begin to fall in love with the characters there. Later in the series, the pacing becomes VERY SLOW and BORING!! You wish it would just end or get to the point where you want it to be!
Music :
I like the OP and the ED for this series. It's really nice and sweet. It really fits and suit the series. This series doesn't have much background music, just the basic ones but still, it fits the show well and makes the series much more emotional.
Animation :
I love the animation of this anime. It's done very well. The art is neat and mystical somehow. I just love it!!
Characters :
LAG SEEING
Your usual loveable main character. He is crybaby but somehow, you just love him. He's really kindhearted and nice. He just your average boy but is a very nice person.
GAUCHE SEUDE
He's the hardworking man who is doing his best for his family. He will never give up! He's the dude that inspired Lag to be a letter bee!
NICHE
She's Lag's dingo. She is a maya(some weird creature with super strength) She is really loyal to Lag...(too loyal)
REVIEW :
It's a shonen anime but this is the most different and interesting shonen anime I have ever seen. It actually has a pretty solid plot. AND it's not all about the action. This anime plays more on the theme of fantasy.
This anime is the first anime in my whole life to have such heart. This anime really has a heart. You completely feel for the characters and you feel it's magic. Not only that this anime is quite emotional.
The characters here each have their quirkiness and their own story. They are not like some characters that are here just to fill up the space. I like the character development and the plot.
HOWEVER, I don't like the pacing of the anime. It started out fine but later, it became so boring and slow that I wanted to kill myself!!!
Anyhow, I love this idea of this anime and how it is VERY different from your usual shonen thing. I would love to see how the story further unrolls. I hope season 2 that will premier soon would be much more interesting, action packed and emotional.
For now, I rate season 1 of Tegami Bachi 3 stars and a half out of five.
IT was good in the beginning but it got a little boring as it drags on at the speed of a snail. Hopefully, season 2 will not repeat this mistake. I see a great anime here.
