(CHARACTERS)
the characters are well written and each had their own personality, goals and their relationship with the leading characters is really great.
Although I might come off as misleading with my first statement so allow me to explain further.
Since there is only 12 episodes, i understand they were not able to give ALL the characters their own motives/background. The bright side from that is that all of them didnt really feel like side characters. You can relate, and know each of them throughout the story even if some of them lacked goals and backgrounds.
Upon meeting the male lead, (youta narakami), he will give you an impression of the cliche anime male protagonist. - black hair, romantic interest, and the personality that almost every male protagonist has.
But as the story progress, you'll get to know how deep his compassion is for his loved ones, how he is very determined to reach a certain goal for hina sato (female lead) which i find beautiful.
The female lead (hina sato)'s childlike personality was greatly captured too. It matched her appearance and she is overall a really good written character. Her relationship with everyone and even the viewers will grow as she is very likable. You will also get to know her past and in no time, her true self. (she rlly carried the whole anime lmao)
this one side character that had their own interest and quirky personality did a great job making the plot more interesting and the best and obvious answer to who they are would be youta's sister. Without her all of them pretty much wouldn't have a deep relationship ( im talking about the movie ifykyk)
(UNTO THE PLOT)
perhaps the author wanted the viewers to get an unexpected sadness from this anime by giving it a silly and comedic impression at the start. But i see many didnt like that.
The first half will be about the main leads getting to know each other more with their adventures, building relationships with other characters and it will be entertaining and comedic.
The second half will then be about the female lead's emotional past and a buncha stuff happening to her, and then the male lead's motives start to progress.
Im not even embarrassed to say, i bawled my eyes out in the ending and i bet most of you did.
(TARGETED VIEWERS)
i would really recommend this to people who are looking for a short anime that you can binge in one night, yet be filled with an interesting plot and interesting characters.
Genre : comedy, drama, fantasy
overall id rate it a 9.5/10 🙏
