Kuttsukiboshi

EPISODE ONE

Watching Kuttsukiboshi I was strongly reminded of Alien Nine. On the surface it gave off the vibe of a generic anime of a genre: shoujo-ai borderline yuri for Kuttsukiboshi, mahou shojou for Alien Nine. After watching the first episode though, specifically the last scene, the symbolism hits you like a truck and you realize it is so much more.

*SPOILER WARNING BELOW*

Kiiko was involved in an accident an undisclosed amount of time before the events in Kuttsukiboshi. Because of that, she developed faint telekinetic powers that only her friend and love interest, Aya, knows about. Not long in to the first episode is it obvious that Aya [seemingly] shares the same feelings for Kiiko when she suddenly kisses her under a tree at sundown.

The two share several intimate occasions and Aya presents Kiiko with a charm. It's two stars connected like the trick metal rings that magicians use. Aya says that she wants Kiiko the hold on the the stars, and to use her power to separate them. This charm is a symbol of their relationship and with that request, their relationship is doomed.

Kiiko visits Aya at her home one day on the pretense that Aya was "sick." While actually on her period and not in the mood for their "Experiments" as Aya called them, Kiiko presents her with a CD. It just so happens that the artist is Aya's own brother. He enters the house seconds later and Kiiko is dumbstruck.

Aya and Kiiko again share intimate moments with one another. Aya asks again if Kiiko has made progress separating the charm to which she replies "It's impossible."

Kiiko takes the train home and is saw off by Aya, but later realizes she forgot her cell phone at Aya's house. She returns later that night to retrieve it but finds the door locked and no answer when she rings the bell. Sly as she was, Kiiko used her ability to unlock the door and get her phone. However, she ended up walking in on Aya laying with her brother. A heartbroken Kiiko dashes out of the house in tears and suddenly stops to realize that her star necklace was now only one piece.

Aya presented Kiiko with the two-star necklace as a sign of their love. On many occasions she inquired as to if Kiiko was able to separate it. Kiiko finally succeeded. Opening that lock, a use of her power, lead to her own heartbreak. Kiiko's power ended the relationship she held so dear and something that Aya knew would happen eventually.

Kuttsukiboshi is a wonderful story. The animation is low-budget and at times it can wear on you, but it is far from unwatchable. The off-screen ero at times makes it bittersweet to some viewers but only serves to drive home how dedicated to the relationship Kiiko was. If you are a fan of shoujo-ai, love stories, and/or bad-ends, Kuttsukiboshi is something you should certainly take twenty minutes out of your day to view. read more

Kuttsukiboshi is a show ahead of its time. Outstanding in all fields, a true masterpiece. While watching, I only felt amazement and shame - my eyes are not worthy to view something so perfect, almost as if it was made for the Gods themselves.

What makes Kuttsukiboshi so great, is that, on top of the gorgeous art, unique and stylish character designs, and orgasmic soundtrack, it has the best writing one could ever possibly imagine. The characters are so well written I know I could die for them if I knew them in real life. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat with excitement, pulling you through countless ups and downs, while also managing to be something completely original, fresh. A new idea.

Anyways I really liked this show and it's a masterpiece, if you didn't like it your opinion is probably not as good as mine

10/10 best show of all time

thank you
