Tsuki ga Kirei Special

I WISH they made spin-offs of all the characters here, they're ALL anime worthy. As said in my review of the full anime, all the side characters/couples are the typical tropes we see in most romance anime, and that's why I love them.

You have a couple where the male teases a lot and is openly romantic, while the female is a tsundere and blushes a lot.

Another couple where the guy is dependent (in a funny way), class clown, popular and the female SOMEHOW puts up with all of that and wears the pants in the relationship.

A more down-to-earth couple where the guy ... is a perfect boyfriend and gentleman and yet the female jokingly (I think and hope) doesn't acknowledge that they're together and is very chill and casual about everything (yet unsurprisingly makes a big deal out of things, ideal bi-polarity). (Though by how they spend their time together and some scenes, it's blatantly obvious they're in a relationship).

AND SAKURA. I would LOVE to see Sakura as a main character in an anime (if there's a character like her in one PLEASE recommend it to me) because she'd be the PERFECT MC in both a romance and comedy anime.

In other words, the specials are 100% worth watching and are also part of the main anime, right after the credits. I wish it was longer, but oh well. Completely recommend watching this if you don't want Tsuki ga Kirei to end so soon!

Tsuki ga Kirei Special is just a compilation of skits that focuses on the supporting characters, most of which are the secondary couples. The skits don't add anything to the plot so anyone can watch it while also watching the main series; I watched this after I finished the main episodes just to seal off my journey watching this series.

The skits are pretty hilarious, especially the ones that focus on Kotarou's parents. If there is something I hope the special could have focused more on, it would be Ryokou-sensei and Roman's relationship because the main series already introduced them as what we already know but ... failed to capitalize it.

There is nothing else I can say about Tsuki ga Kirei Special other than it's short and supplementary though I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who just picked up the series. A little love for the supporting characters is not too much to ask, right?

Tsuki Ga Kirei Special Summary
By: Seiji Kishi

This Special Episode is a compilation of short clips about every characters of the story. Funny scenarios which is totally not suitavle on the main story. I think, that is why this was created. It is cute, and adorable to watch. It will only take 15 minutes of your time and believe me, some of those clips will make you burst into laughter.

Overall: 9

Plot: 10

This series has been residing on my phone for almost a year now, I guess. I tried watching it previously and giving episode one a shot. This story is super light hearted and pure that ... I did not find myself continuing watching it. Might be because I've watch too many love stories and this kind of thing is very rare to me. The relationship of the main characters are slow pace, innocent, and young. It will make you miss how simple minded you are when you are young and how little thinga can flutter your heart. The story don't have any complex plot, or tragic lives, or something unique to show. It is just a simple but real romance that people nowadays forgotten. It was a love at first sight, a young love, a teenage love, a love of a lifetime.

Characters: 9

Not all characters are supposed to be popular, beautiful as a goddess, genius, prodigy. And that is what this series will show you. Every characters don't need to stand on the spotlight, some just need to make their own story on their own way. There's nothing amazing on both of the main characters. They are just an ordinary schoolers, studying in a average school, living the life they have. The way they struggle to get their feelings expressed on one another is just too cute. It is genuine. There's just one character on the story that I kind of dislike. She and her so so innocent act is really irritating. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like her.

Art and Animation: 9

I love the songs in this series. It is fleeting in the heart, and calm. It feels like you are standing in the middle of the forest full of flowers, with fresh air and a sound of water flowing near you. It is refreshing. The animation of the story is somewhat alike with Kimi no Nawa. Or maybe the main character only? She looks like Mitsuha. It is not my type of art, honestly. But I think that it perfectly fit the story. The calmness on the face of every character, the gracefulness of their movements, the voice they utter, it really matches the theme of the story and how cool is that, really.

Enjoyment: 8

You have to get used to it. You have to absorv that this story is not your typical shoujo anime with a lot of cliches. It won't show the character getting sick bed and is visited by their partner. It won't show something like a popular guy falling for a timid girl or vice versa. In short, you will have to prepare that it is a love story that might be boring for some, but refreshing for most. Well honestly, I got bored of it at first. But then, I realized it is a good watch. And then, I find myself close to the ending.

Ending: 9

I expected the ending. Well, the part where the ending show they did end up together, married with a son or daughter is really great. I love that kind of ending, in a love story that is. But before that, the thing that will make their relationship waiver. I knew it will end up that way. I just don't like how the main character of the story based his decision on the pulse of his heart, literally. That's just how young ones are, maybe. Most of the time, they just don't think at all. They grab onto something, hoping, wanting, without even thinking about each and every details of whys. I'm glad that it end up the way I want it.
