You know why everyone watches slices, right? A bit of romance, a bit of daily life, love triangles and so on and so forth.
Surely I wasn't excepting that kind of a deep story when I dived in this title, the OP of which I randomly found on Youtube the other day.
Story: 8/10
This anime isn't that much about love and romance. It is about normal human feelings, walls, that we put around us, the masks we wear, living an everyday life. This story may lack the sudden turns and a complicated canvas, but it has real tragedy in it. The one-man tragedy, which got me thinking about my own life quite a bit.
Art: 8/10
Not much to say about that. Character design was really good. The only thing that did bring some unwanted feelings was the amount of emoticons and all such things. I think, this title could be better off without them.
Sound: 10/10
The music was beatiful. All soundtracks were playing at the right time and totally fitting the atmosphere. OP/ED were both amazing too.
Character: 9/10
All the main characters in this anime feel really human. We all have hard times telling the truth to someone we care for, but some things are needed to be said.
I really felt bad for Cou and was envious of him at the same time. Maybe, because I associate myself with him in practically all the ways possible, but feel like I could be a better person with this guy's attitude. Still, he was really lucky he had a girl, that 'wanted to be included'. Plus, he is the author the phrase 'friends in name only', which everyone has in their minds, but no one ever says.
Yoshioka was really annoying and sloppy all the time, but I admire her bravery and energy. Wish I had a girlfriend like this, hah.
Other guys were pretty good too, but no that much worth speaking about.
Enjoyment: 9/10
This anime really took me over very quickly. I just breathed in and clicked play... and it was already over. Still, it sure left a lot of things to think about, and I'm grateful for that.
Overal: 9/10
