Hello lovelies ♪
I've recently starting watching anime. I was never really into animes and I much prefer live-action Asian dramas, but those are so hard to come by nowadays. I thought I would give anime a try because as you all know, I am drawn to things that are cute and I thought it was high time to find out why so many people are interested in it.
I can see the allure and interest that animes provide. I like that animes, specifically anything animated, breaks the boundaries of the real world. It sounds weirder than it is, but I just like the aspects of fantasy, or things that wouldn't normally happen in real life, but is normal or okay in an animated series. This is the same allure I get from reading books. These things could happen, but they exist outside of the real world... and that doesn't mean that it isn't realistic or unbelievable, you just have to dive into believing it.
Continue if you would like to read my review of the anime.
This anime was suggested by a friend and I gave him a general observation of what I wanted to watch, which is a romantic comedy. I don't think this is quiet a romantic anime, but it does involve love interests and love tension, very typical for Asian dramas. I will try my best to not include any spoilers, but they will be listed with the [spoilers] tag.
Overall I really enjoyed the anime. It was kind of a coming of age anime, which I liked. It also had some perverse moments, like Rated-R things such as sexual tension, semi-nudity, and lots of lewd jokes. It made me a little uncomfortable mostly because I was not prepared for such bluntness towards the sexuality of the anime. The first couple of episodes were only alright for me because I was still in shock about how the sexual things were so open, but I learned that it's just the nature of the anime. I thought it was slow to start off with also. The first episodes were just bland for me and I thought it took too many episodes for the storyline to pick up. I wasn't a big fan of Mashiro Shiina, I'm not sure why, but her character was not my favorite.
The character development was great. Most of the main characters had some sort of development or change throughout the series and it definitely didn't leave you hanging at the end.. well maybe at one part or another. I just want to know who Sorata ends up with, which is a cliffhanger I did not like. I also thought that there wasn't enough action going on. Some episodes felt like filler episodes. I liked the sprinkles of humor throughout. I think that's the saving grace for me in show. I love the art style and the facial expressions throughout, especially when Sorata, or any of the characters, get embarrassed.
If you're interested in watching an anime, I think anime is a great place to start, especially if you're not sure what you like. It's a great series to determine the genre and style that you like. It includes romance, humor, and sexual tension, so you get a wide variety of what you might like and what you might not like. It's all about trial and error. You can find this anime series on CrunchyRoll. I am in no way affiliated or sponsored by them but it was a great website to watch all the episodes!
