Poetry in motion.
After watching the first cour of this entire series, 86 Part 2 exceeds far past the expectations set in the first cour's ending. It was far more polished in terms of writing, cinematography, symbolism, and sequencing. Every single shot, cut, camera angle was created with intent to tell the story and evoke great sense of emotions which can be described as to near perfection levels of direction. Now, there are three, maybe four reasons why this anime can be considered one of the best war-themed anime.
First, the writing is impactful in wonders unexplainable. While some lines are cheesy and a little over-the-top, the
...
dialogue fits well with the description of what is to be expected when talking to a bunch of teens fighting in a trauma-inducing war. Sequencing was never truly a problem, considering that A-1 studio already perfected in from the very beginning.
Seond, one must warn the viewers that the anime is very detail-oriented. The scenes can be very confusing when the viewer has not looked enough into its context, or has not analyzed each scene deeper than the surface level. The trouble of trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle is very tiresome, but it is definitely worth the emotional and mental energy to be invested in this story.
Third, while the story focuses more on Shinei Nouzen's character and his conflict in finding his purpose; It does not disregard the impact the rest of the cast of the current cour, and even of the previous one, had on his growth as a whole. Each episode was tailored to fit a certain depth of emotional turmoil for Shin, along with how he tries to approach it, leading to further growth and development of his character.
Fourth, some might complain about the story having a little more focus on the military aspect, but it does not significantly get in the way of tarnishing what had been left off in the first cour. The story definitely still focuses on the themes of the impact of war and politics on its citizens, but in another perspective and on a much larger scale.
Finally, the second cour definitely takes the cake in having the best ending episodes. That final scene encapsulates the beauty of how perfectly narrated, how impactful its symbolism was, and how good the studio edged us into a perfect two minute ending scene that will forever emotionally capture the hearts of past, present, and future viewers.
In conclusion? 86 Part 2 is one of the best war prose in anime fiction, and it is a definite recommendation for those who are curious.

Spoilers Ahead (Warning)
Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine was a movie that touched me, even if I have unclear feelings about the series as a whole. With my opinions regarding Saekano before this movie, it was fine and nothing too special. It holds all that is required to be a good romance anime, even when I find no appeal in the main heroine, Katou Megumi. This movie ties all the strings together, finishes it in a 2 hour time constraint, and still makes it memorable as possible.
Regarding the story of the movie, it is a complete step up from the previous two seasons and managing to
...
amp it up a little bit. The theme of the story of a man to create one of the best visual novels was finally completed and fulfilled in a way that captures the hearts of the people around him and us, the viewers. The love of his life, the main heroine he is about to make shows how he can be caring, full of effort, understanding and kind, even when his obsession to this game still shows. It highlights his effort and passion for something, for somebody that is fictional, that he can even show it in a different way, to his friends, accomplices, and to the love of his life, Katou Megumi. My only concern was the development of the other characters and the main heroine, Megumi Katou that only by the latter half that the purposes and reasons, doubts were only addressed in non-mpactful ways that made her character less than impactful of what I thought was intended.
The observable parallels between the story and the game that interweave, even when subtle shows the beauty of a different way of storytelling regarding Tomoya and the rest of the cast. It was hard to decipher what was real and what was just a part of the game, that it didn't matter because the narration was compelling enough that every scene was considered believable. Some scenes, especially in the early half were very tame in comparison to the latter half. There were cheesy scenes, some outmost cliche yet still showed a hint of sweetness, lightness and cuteness. Something comparable is a dish called "sweet and sour fish." The latter half was what gave me the most heart-wrenching. gut-wrecking scenes I have ever scene. I might be biased because Eri is best girl, but that scene outside the house between Tomoya and Eri only, was the breaking point and could not hold the tears in. Knew from that point on that Eri just wanted to know if Tomoya ever had feelings for her. His statement: "WHO CARES??" proves the point that her love was not one-sided after all. The scene with Eri crying and beside Utaha while she spoke the most truthful, saddest lines she ever said was second-to-none.
Utaha says to Eri: " So it's time for you to face forward. Keep running. And don't stop until he can't catch up anymore. It'll be alright. He will still follow, no matter what. After all, without a doubt, he loved us. Not Kashiwagi Eri or Kasumi Utako, but us, for who we truly are. That's why he'll be always chasing after us. As a fan chasing his beloved artist, and as a rival, trying to catch up to them. Let's wait for him, shall we? Let us wait for him while advancing as fast as we can."
The after credits was also very good in fooling the audience of what happens to them after they have moved on with their lives. Turns out, it was just the plot for the new game they were making. As the movies ends, there is a final scene with all of them together. It was the final piece to the puzzle. My final thoughts are that his was the movie the series needed. Even if I considered the previous two seasons fine, this was the part that makes the whole franchise solid and outstanding.
That's it for my review, I liked it very much. Thank you for reading it whole and hoped you enjoyed the movie.

I am now going to write my based review about Tsukigakirei, since this is one of the worst shows I have ever watched in my 3 months binge-watching anime. I must say to me, it is pretty generic shit.
Let me first start off by saying that I do not intend to hate on the producers and animators and the studio as a whole who created this series because I know that they have put their heart and efforts into creating this, and I know this sounds weird but for me when I make a based review, I also think that I am offending the work
...
of the studio, and that is not my purpose to do so.
I'll start then with a basic summary of what the plot is:
"Kotaro Azumi and Akane Mizuno become third year students at junior high school and are classmates for the first time. They are put in charge of the equipment for a sports festival and slowly grow closer via LINE. These two, along with fellow students Chinatsu Nishio and Takumi Hira, relate to their peers through mutual understandings and feelings. As their final year at junior high school progresses, the group overcome their challenges to mature and become aware of changes in themselves."
Pretty basic huh? Well yeah, it actually is.
Story: a pathetic 1/10
The story itself is pretty simple, to be honest, I just cannot wrap my mind around this simple yet disturbingly simple story. I'll divide it into three parts; premise, development and dialogue.
For the story premise, there is no story premise as it is a generic romance anime. This one is fine to me as it seems I have gotten into liking other generic romance animes with the same "no premise". If you are gonna say that the premise is them trying to grow their relationship by overcoming the obstacles of everyday issues about love like jealousy and love interfering with ambition, I have seen that a lot of times.
For the story development, there is literally NONE AT ALL. There is, but it is so little than normal viewers won't be able to see it with the naked eye. Yes, it is supposed to be based off of real relationships, but I do not see the similarities at all. Real relationships require good understanding of each other, and in the anime all they do is nothing but talk about topics that are nothing special, until the end, of course, which I pretty much only liked about the development.
For the story dialogue, this what I hated the most about the three. Shittiest and dullest dialogue I have ever seen. Full of worthless breathing that sums up to almost two-thirds of an episode from the get-go. Dialogues like this aren't real representations of starting relationships. They gain confidence speaking to each other, but it is so little that I want to bang my head hearing them speak one-word sentences and short-word conversations and them breathe air every time they speak a word and say "uhmmm, hmmmm, ughhhhh, mhmmmm" LIKE BRO THIS AIN'T HENTAI. Anyways, kinda going off point. Overall the story is just bad and dull despite it being simple and overall cutesy type of romance, it's simply bad.
Art: 3/10
When it comes to animation, it is bad, when it comes to character design, it is outright scary and worse.
The animation is pretty simple, I like the animation scenes where Akane runs and every other animation with running scenes , it seems realistic, to me atleast. The walking, or all interactive and vocal animations are simplistic and outright pretty good, I might even praise it. The thing is, the 3D animations are what dragged it down so much I hated it as background display. They should have rather used normal 2d background people There was one scene where the figure walking behind the main characters, walked like the Terminator was about to demolish the whole city.
Now let's move on to the character designs, both 2D and 3D. For the 2D designs, scary, and for 3D designs, more scary. They look so unrealistic and bland, I even think Boku no Pico did a better job making there character designs. The facial structure of it is as expected for an anime, but when it comes to particular scenes the have caught my attention, it seems that some character's facial and body structure were so off, there was even one point where one eye is irrationally drawn to it's pair, and the calves have no definition, simply drawn slants that are connected from the thighs. The clothes and accessories they wear, I have no complaints about it. The body structure isn't anatomically correct, but decent enough to be considered in an anime. Overall animation is messy with some good traits but more bad ones.
Now to sound, this is pretty simple to me.
Sound: 8/10
OP is a banger, no cap. I listened to it and got attached to it. Kudos to the band who made this song, they pulled of a good song to a bad series. I think this is the only thing about Tsukigakirei I will ever praise it for. The OP is what made me expect that this anime was a simple, yet memorable and nostalgic one, like an early 2010 anime of some sorts. Too bad the story was not in line with the music. The ED was good too.
Now for Voice acting sounds, I'll rate it decent actually. To the voice actors who managed to cope up with a cringe ass dialogue, I hope you guys are fine and well. Sound effects are fine, not bad for environmental realism. That's it for sound.
Character: 4/10
The characters were very quirky and very cringe-y at the same time. The story made the qualities of each character even worse as they are supposed to be.
I mostly hated Chinatsu, just because I actually don't know the fucking reason why she likes the MC so much. There was no real backstory to each and every character that revolved around the group as it seems. The story dialogue ruined it, or is it just me becoming dumbfounded by it, I don't really know. Overall, the characters aren't to be blamed of being scummy conversation starters, since the story mostly shapes the qualities, quirks and ideals of each and every characters in a story. The characters are badly written and there is nothing memorable about any of them, even the main relationship.
Enjoyment: a literally fucking 1/10
I was recommended to watch this by some random person on Facebook while I was watching a music video with Tsukigakirei being in the background, like an AMV or something along that name. Since I am fairly new to the romance anime world, I decided to watch this anyways because my list to watch was few back then, and I was a new person to anime back then. I had high expectations because everybody also liked it and gave it a high rating on MAL. I decided to give it a go. I started watching it and at first, it seemed decent, but the more I watched, the more I was freaked out how bad it was. I finished it in two days because I restrain myself from watching this shit. It was clearly hard to watch it continuously because of every moment is pure, unfiltered cringe. The ending was a whopper on my face. How is it possible that you will end it on a bad note if it didn't even have any impact to me whatsoever. There was no emotional impact on the ending.
Was it worth a use of my time?
No it was a waste of time for me. I could have watched something better.
Was it worth watching in the first place?
It wasn't to me, but give it an actual try. You might even come to like the series. Give it an actual try before you give your thoughts about the series.
Was it worth rewatching at all?
For the love of anime, please no..
Do you really hate this anime series?
It's obvious. I do not hate it like it's a nemesis to my reputation. It's the type of hate that makes you laugh and be mad at the same time.
Overall: 3/10
For, me this is a decent rating for a shit show. Overall it's bad, it's redundant, it's generic, it has nothing unique to offer, it copies almost every other romance anime with no unique ideas and gather it into one garbage masterpiece. Nothing will ever make this become better and nothing ever will. People rate this a 10/10 because they watch for clout and so that their friends will agree to them, or either some anime weeb who only likes high-rated shows and low rated shows are considered technically shit without even analyzing the whole story.
Wanna watch generic anime series'? Find one yourself on MAL. There is a lot to offer.
Wanna watch generic shit anime series'? Watch Tsukigakirei, or Wonder Momo or something idk.
That's all I've got. I cannot even believe I wasted my time ranting Tsukigakirei.
Yeah, I regret ranting on this series and it is a waste of time too.
