Unnamed Memory
(Anime)
add
Unnamed Memory in itself is quite the fascinating story. The characters are well written, the romance is sweet with a little bit of spice, and you really get attached to the characters. That is hard about this anime adaptation is that it covers 3 whole volumes of the Light Novel in 12 episodes. Essentially half of the entire story. The anime, while it doesn’t stray from the source material, leaves out a lot of the story and acts as more of an executive summary of the story. As we know, anime adaptations are often done in order to drive sales of the LN or Manga

Insomniacs After School draws you in with main female lead Magari’s cute bubbly personality and infectious kindness. For me, the Manga is exceptional up to about chapter 55. Past this point, Insomniacs After School struggles to show any sort of progression for our star-crossed lovers. The few romantic scenes past chapter 55 are short and don’t hit as deeply as they did initially.
The ending really disappointed me as it seems like the author simply ran out of steam or motivation. There’s no real closure. The ending isn’t happy or sad, just is extremely lacking in everything that made me love the series. It seems ... |
