Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau

Himari Kino is a cheerful and outgoing girl who is able to make friends with anyone she wants. When she enrolls in high school and attends the freshman opening ceremony, Himari falls in love with Yori Asanagi, a reserved upperclassman, during Yori's band performance. After the show, Himari blurts out her love, but Yori is inexperienced when it comes to romance.

Yori, who did not expect this outcome at all, looks for answers from her friends and music. She decides to respond to Himari's confession, and to her surprise, Yori discovers that Himari fell in love with her music and performance rather than Yori as a person.

Despite the shock, Yori desires to make Himari truly fall in love with her. The duo spend time together after school on the rooftop, where Yori usually plays her guitar with hopes to change Himari's feelings for her.

When the little things, spark and sparkle into something truly breathtakingly beautiful.

If you want a top tier Yuri anime, that is filled with sweetness and delight. This will be the show to enjoy, and watch.


Story and characters: 8
What I really love about it, is the pacing of the writing. It doesn't just throw in them together, as if it's shoehorned in right away just for the sake of it. Instead it's written at a reasonable pace, that keeps attention, and makes you actively enjoy and want for the ship to boot. What adds extra too, is that both sets seem like genuine people. Making the ... thing not only realistic, but also enjoyable from a liking stand point. I found myself smiling from ear to ear, anytime Yori and Himari were on scene together. Not only was it super duper cute, but with how goodly written both characters come across, and how well timed it's all put together. Really makes you want to root for them from the get go.

It's Yuri. But it's Yuri done right damn it.

I love it for how cute it is, I love it for it's pacing, and how natural reactions are, even if it's from misunderstandings, or genuine causes. It's well done in every stretch of the word.

Art and sound: 8
There is a real nice shine to it that you'll see throughout. Which suits the theme of the show. It's cute, it's bright, and it's here to tell a sweet tale,of naturally falling in love, and experiencing love. It's as if we're in a long running music video about love in it's brightest form. Ready to go about each and every step, and enjoy the ride. Follow that up with a wonderful melody of sound that fits scene by scene, and you've got a well put together product in every sense of the word.

Whisper Me a Love Song won't just be a good anime of the season if it keeps this up. It'll be a top tier Yuri recommendation for a good while to boot. A watch for sure.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

This seems to be a copy of Bloom Into You, without any of the chemistry or the appeal. After 3 episodes I am not convinced I'm gonna finish this.
The animation is more modern than Bloom Into You, that's for sure but somehow feels cheap. Design of the main characters is very reminiscent of Koito and Nanami but it all feels like a cheap copy. Story is linear and without much going on, and not in apealing slice of life style, but more in "you can copy my homework, but change it a bit". Let's see if the rest of the show can change my mind.

I can tell that people only like this because it's yuri romance and not because it is a good romance. It's mindless romance, consumed like one would watch a cheesy, stale romance movie and forget about it as soon as the credits roll.

If I had to compare it to another yuri, I'd say it's a worse copy of Bloom into You, with a similar idea, but even worse animation quality.

The animation is a gamble between good or bad, the moment you notice how often they compensate the lack of animation with panning and zooming stills, you can't unsee them anymore.
As well as fade ... out effects like I'm watching a video edited with Windows Movie Maker.
Not to mention, you can also expect very bad background character CG, but that's probably a modern anime curse in general. (Anyone else who'd rather see still frames of hand-drawn background characters? Only me?)
The pieces of actual animation vary from good to okay to what looks like 5fps.

This got to be the most boring yuri i've ever followed. The OST is forgettable, the characters are forgettable, and while the character design is good, the animation and art quality lack strongly at times. It's making an effort to shake things up, but I can't see this story trying something new.
