The title is a beautiful wordplay on one of Natsume Souseki's quotes. When I first heard of the title, I was afraid of it failing but I'm glad it swept me off my feet.
Story: 10/10
Tsuki ga Kirei revolves around 2 characters, Azumi Kotarou and Mizuno Akane, who both were in their 3rd and final year in middle school. Kotarou and Akane fell in love with one another and the anime tells the stories of their successes and failures during their relationship, how much the characters who knew nothing about love, slowly growing up from failures and bloom into wonderful people.
Character development were very well paced, and the anime didn't felt rushed at all. In fact, the pacing is one of the best I've ever seen in an original. Tsuki ga Kirei hits very close to home for me because I once experienced the same thing before, which brought up bittersweet memories. Kotarou and Akane developed and mature beautifully throughout the series.
Sound: 10/10
The choice of music used was perfect as well, as it invokes a lot of nostalgia factor(I ain't that old yet but have listened to those music before and loved them). With that, I haven't been listening to those songs for a while now but because of this series, I'm starting to listen to them again.
Art: 10/10
In the beginning, I couldn't get used to the coloring because I thought it was kinda a lazy manner to do it(the shadows were pretty unnatural) but as the series goes, I begin to understand and appreciate the style used for this series and I have to say I loved it a lot. Great character designs for the characters especially the MCs Kotarou and Akane. It mashes very well with the music used and the story told.
Enjoyment: 10/10
Overall, I can say I enjoyed it a lot, one reason being because it hits extremely close to home for me. It's a little painful to watch because of it, but nonetheless, it's a very beautiful series done by feel, who have done quite a few great anime. This is the second original that I loved a lot and it ranks very close to first, which was True Tears. I definitely would recommend everyone to watch this if they are looking for great romance stories.
