Appeal and evaluation of the work

"Omokkiri Science Adventure: So That's It!" is a highly acclaimed edutainment work with a science and adventure theme. The process in which children use scientific knowledge to solve problems not only conveys to viewers the fun of science, but also teaches the importance of teamwork and friendship.

As the subtitles of each episode suggest, there are a wide variety of missions, such as recovering dinosaur fossils, restoring electricity, and a cooking competition. These missions provide an opportunity for children to develop scientific thinking, and viewers can learn along with them. The story unfolds towards the final episode, depicting the children's growth and deepening friendship, culminating in a moving finale.

The cast is also impressive, with many talented voice actors such as Ishikawa Shizuka, Murai Azusa, and Kozakura Etsuko participating. In particular, the performances of Nakamura Taiki as Professor Galileo and Ishizuka Unsho as Eureka Tower add depth to the work.

The music also adds to the appeal of the work. The opening theme "Birthday Heart" was written by Natsumi Watanabe and composed and arranged by Ryoichi Hirayama. It is a refreshing song that makes you feel like the adventure is about to begin. There are also two ending songs, "Light of the Sea and Moon" and "Dial 6700 of Love", which add to the atmosphere of the work.
