Welcome!
Hello everyone from the steemit community here reporting with a new post, how are you today? I hope that everybody are very well. I honestly am happy because I have finished seeing just one day ago, an anime that I liked a lot, that caused a lot of feelings in me and that's why I decided to tell you what my reaction was when I started watching this anime.
Without getting too involved with the intro, let's start.
Why did I decide to see it?
Well, one day I was short of inspiration, searching for YouTube I came across a video in which they recommended eight of the best animes of school romance and then, analyzing that I did not have any good anime to watch, I decided to give it a try and see what Could you offer me that recommendation? To my surprise, the way they presented the anime and the plot, bought me completely, so I started seeing it immediately.
Also influenced a lot by the fact that romance is one of the genres that I like the most, one could say that it is the main one, followed by comedy. As I started to see it, which I liked, it made a good impression on me, but then I had certain feelings and attitudes regarding what I saw, how nice, and below I will explain.
History
The story follows Shizuku Mizutani, a young student who throughout her life nothing seemed to call attention, more than studies, standing out in these, as expected, being number one of its kind, and all the institute, you could say. However, by coincidence of life, he is commissioned to bring some notes to Haru Yoshida, a young man who at the beginning of the school year was Shizuku's seatmate, but who after a fight was expelled from school.
Haru thinks that she has been sent with the aim of persuading him to return to school, so he escapes as soon as he sees her, but, after observing the girl's edge, distant and somewhat frivolous attitude, deduces that she is not a danger for him, and he comes to take it as his first and for the moment, only friend. The story follows that outcome, until Haru, moved by his feelings or in my opinion a confusion of them, declares his love for Shizuku.
Up to this point it is a relatively normal starting point and to a certain common degree, however, it is from this that, in my opinion, the anime becomes something more outside the pre-established and that it results in the unsettling. Since from this meeting, where Haru later resumes his classes, everyone seems to wake up from the self-absorption that characterized them, and for unexpected reasons, Shizuku and Haru become the center of being of everything and everyone.
Secondary characters and even tertiary are involved in the existential globe of both protagonists, and it is something that at least I found it exasperating, but anyway left an air of need in viewers.
Visual quality
For me, the visual quality of this work is one of the best I've seen. Although it may seem simple at first glance, as the story progresses you can appreciate the good material you have, that if we count that in this type of work the quality is not of relative importance, because it takes the attention directly to the actions and history.
When it comes to the effects of movements and reactions, it was something that I really liked, they did a very good job in this. The movements in certain actions have a perfect synchronicity that makes them look alive, giving it a very high touch of credibility, at least that's what I thought when I saw it, I could feel it very realistic. The same thing I think when I remember certain pictures of images, they were very fluid and made it look very natural.
The landscapes in certain points of the anime were simple but picturesque and did not cause any type of nonconformity. I repeat, although it may turn out to be something simple, the anime has a good animation in certain aspects. As for the appearance of the characters, I feel that among a few did a very good job, taking as an example to Haru, his design is incredible, I think apart from his brother Yuzan, is the only one with such an original design.
Shizuku also has a good design, at least for me, it is not very seen and does not result in the typical of the protagonists in anime of this genre. Something that makes this character more remarkable, and that carries his atypical attitude. Varying the other characters, they all have their own essence, so there is not much to object to in the animation applied to them.
Love and relationships
This is the central point of the story and which is somewhat extensive, since it has a lot of material to play. Love in this anime I consider subjective and reflective, is something with which I had certain conflicts. Although it is true that there is a romantic interest between the two protagonists, here is the established scheme of: "If both love and love, it is logical that they are together". The love that is established here is directed more like a certain kind of longing.
It is disturbing, since their actions taken to the romantic interest are very contradictory and in many occasions, taken with extreme measures. The samples of affection, equally, are scarce and it is simply as if it leads to some kind of reflection. The positive effect that this has, and what can be rescued, is that the basic and unexpected moments produce a certain fascination, which does not allow the touch and focus of the work to be lost.
Comedy
The comedy section is always one of the qualities in the anime that I like the most, and at least in this case, I feel that the dissatisfaction I felt in the generic aspect of romance, was subtly rewarded by the comedy expressed. Despite the attitude developed by the characters, and their respective personalities, the work has a good cast of comedy, without necessarily resorting to intense dialogue with the aim of causing an impression or a certain grace.
Facial expressions and reactions are those that stand out for causing some grace in the viewer. The scenarios proposed in some pictures of images also contribute to create a good atmosphere for a subtle and clean comedy, which in my opinion is practical, since it maintains a complete balance by retaining the attention of people, because the romantic side is scarce a little.
PERSONAL OPINION / CAN I RECOMMEND IT?
I really did not know what to expect from this anime, although being that it was romance, my expectations are always a bit high. So I was dissatisfied with certain aspects, but my general opinion about the anime is very good, I can not belittle it for the same expectations that I created in my head. I think he has many points in his favor that make him a good anime, in addition, I mostly saw him by Haru, so in that sense I feel very complete.
I can certainly recommend it, as I said, the anime is out of pre-established standards, so it will break all schemes that can be imagined about romance. Some scenes may seem cliché, but it does not happen to be that. I think it is very suitable for those people who are looking for something innovative and different. It can also be very useful for those who have formed their idea about romance. I am very sure that at the end of the anime, they will be able to see it in a different way.
Thanks for reading the post, and I hope you liked it, bye
