This "thing" is so bad I don't even know how to explain it.
(Small amount of spoiler warning)
First off, let's dive into this the school and romance theme is pretty common in anime. The whole high school vibe gives authors an easy way to throw in romantic scenes without much fuss. It's convenient too, no need for some elaborate setup about the main character and pals meeting up. Cool concept, right? Well, that's the theory, but let me tell you how it can all go downhill.
So, here's the deal. The first season had a major hiccup, which I'll get to in a bit. Towards the end,
...
though, when they started digging into the side characters Chizu and Ryu, and even Ayane with a different angle, I started to see a glimmer of hope. The first season was your run-of-the-mill romance anime, but towards the finale, I dared to think it might rise above average. Then came the second season, was I wrong. This anime? It's like it shouldn't even exist.
Now, let's talk tempo. There's no tempo in this thing. Sawako, the main girl, and Kazehaya, the main guy, figured out they were in love by episode 11. But hold up, they only become a couple by episode 36. What went down in those 25 episodes? Pretty much nothing, aside from the side character sagas I mentioned earlier. And here's the kicker—the main character's big problem? No friends, can't socialize, and people are scared of her. But guess what? All of that was solved by episode 11. She had friends, she was in love, the cool guy in school was head over heels for her, and even the most popular girl in school was, sort of, her friend. If they became a couple at episode 12 and it ends, there'd be no issue.
Now, let's tackle the same issue in this season. What unfolds in season 2? Well, the short answer is: nothing. And I'm not exaggerating, it's really a whole lot of nothing. Kazehaya opens up to Sawako about his feelings (in a serious setting), but there's a major miscommunication. Sawako thinks she's been rejected (?), and Kazehaya, believe it or not, thinks the same. The next few episodes are basically them going around telling people about their supposed rejections and shedding tears in various locations. Sawako's crying in the garden, crying in class, crying to her teacher, crying to her friends. Even Kurumi, the popular girl I just mentioned, says, "Are you stupid? You still haven't bagged that guy. What's this useless writer even thinking?" And what does Sawako do? You guessed it more tears. Has Sawako ever done anything other than cry?
"Has Sawako ever done anything other than cry?" This question is the crux of this "thing." There's no rhyme or reason in this "thing." Events unfold because the writer wanted them to. If the backstories were crafted with some thought instead of just being dictated by the writer's whims, we wouldn't be stuck watching two clueless high schoolers stumbling through what love is, devoid of common sense, and only becoming a couple thanks to external intervention. The main character faces no real adversity. Some side characters attempt harm, but the outcome is always ridiculously positive. Despite this, she can't seem to connect with the boy, let alone progress. Why? Because this girl, for some reason, just stands there and stares when Kazehaya approaches her and speaks. STOP STARING AND SAY SOMETHING. It doesn't matter if you're shy or don't engage with others. As a human being, some basic common sense isn't too much to ask. If someone is trying to talk to you every day, being kind and trying to make a difference in your life, and you just stare back in silence for days on end, how would that make you feel? I can't blame Kazehaya; it's normal not to realize how nonsensical a person can be.
Now, turning to the characters, the range is decent. Admittedly, they aren't wildly different character types; they're the kind you've seen before. Nevertheless, the diversity is there. While diversity is typically a good thing, the problem here lies in the side characters, they don't really matter. They're like NPCs thrown in to ensure more positive things happen to Sawako. You find yourself yearning for a storyline about these side characters or some kind of backstory. Suddenly, something happens to Sawako, and she either cries or stares at Kazehaya without saying a word. Apart from that, not much else goes on. In a surprising twist for last episodes in the first season (perhaps the writer took a break, or a friend stepped in), we get the story of the side characters. This turned out to be the best part because none of the characters are as clueless as Sawako; you could catch a glimmer of intelligence in this section.
In the end, there's more I could talk about, but at this rate, I'll just be repeating myself like this "thing." As I mentioned earlier, it's challenging to express how bad this is. This "thing" revolves around a girl named Sawako who, due to her lack of common sense, constantly causes trouble, sheds tears, and, by some divine luck, experiences a continuous stream of positive events. She's so naive that she makes the boy she loves depressed, all while unwittingly using people for her own emotions. Such a scenario is far from reality, just forget about it.

There's something wrong with this season, seriously.
At first I thought they wanted to start lightly because of the return of the season, but when you watch more you realize that something is missing. From the very beginning of the anime, the main character has many goals. Whether these goals were absurd or not, they at least created the illusion that you weren't watching something empty. Now they've deleted all of that goals and they give the main character a problem like in some stupid clone ecchi comedy anime and they start using it as a goal. Now tell me, im in chapter 8 and where ... Jul 29, 2023

An anime with wasted potential
A main character who we often see, cannot make sense of her own feelings. Although the character is not interesting, unlike most other shounen anime main characters, he is quite strong from the beginning, so you can expect a different experience. There is no such thing, but it's not because the main character is bad, it's because the anime keeps focusing on other things. You will understand what I mean when I explain it piece by piece. Characters : In fact, there are basically 2 characters we should care about in the anime, the male character who is a killer who is ... Jun 24, 2022
We had a really nice time with this series and a lot of people agree about how beautiful it is.The third season didn't just remind us of this again.It showed how something that is already very good can be even better.
In the full sense of the word this is a MASTERPIECE First, I wrote a rather lengthy review after watching about half the season but I just deleted that review. And today I will not make a review in the literal sense, as in the previous review. There is no need to talk about what is good and what is bad in a long way. I don't ... Mar 2, 2020
A work of art.One day when I was so bored, I saw this anime randomly.I wondered and looked.It looked like something I could have fun with.
It's not just a fun thing .An anime where you can learn about life at the same time. Of course I'm not saying you have to act like the main character but the main character sometimes tells the truth about life. I think the best thing about this series is the characters.Before this series, there were only 1 male character among my favorite characters and I wouldn't have thought another one would come but this anime wasn't just about that.It added a ...

After a long time, I came across something different.There's something different about all the animes I've been watching.
The character designs are interesting but the main thing that makes you watch is the story and the narration Instead of compressing unnecessary information together, they took care to show every part full of it.There is information about science in between.As you watch, you learn how to decipher things.This is also a different feature The sound is not a very interesting subject, but the sound is a little better that could make this anime better It's an anime that everyone can watch fondly.I can't break up any issues.I suggest you watch Aug 18, 2019
It's one of those Animes that needs to be watched.One of the most important reasons to watch comedy items.Characters beautifully designed.Those who like this kind of anime need to watch for sure.
The reason I don't give 9 points to the anime is that the number of characters added as the story progresses is minimal.It could also be nice to have the story a little different and add a lot of different things.It is a fun anime and is more beautiful than some other anime in this style. Parts of the anime are generally not boring.As in some anime, they have done nothing ridiculous, such as boring ... |
