One of the most prominent element there is, especially in the anime highschool world. What better than to watch these multiple love stories slowly unfold as the character struggle with getting their feelings across to one another.
※ Strength ※
- Interconnected. I enjoy how each character has a background love story and how they have their own mission to fulfill. Not only that, each character affects one another in some way or another and that interconnection makes it much more realistic.
- Relationship. Every relationship is different. People are different from one and another and when two people connect romantically, you are bound to see characters struggle in their own ways to get their feelings across. This anime depict all types of relationship that one might have seen or even experience.
- Feelings. What I feel and what I want are two different entity. A lot of these characters want something out of their partners -- similar to reality. And the struggles that these characters went through makes it much more realistic.
- Enjoyable. This was definitely a light anime to enjoy as I could also imagine this anime go for a completely different route: psychological, dark, drama and so on.
- Favorites. Obviously you are going to have favorites in this. Which ship shall you board and which ship you want to see finally get sailed. And making viewers ship is definitely a bonus.
※ Weakness ※
- Time. This is a more of a personal pet peeve but each character's love story are not all created equal. Some get more screen time than others as that may cause some disagreement amongsts the audience in terms of fairness.
- Questionable actions. This might be more of a cultural perspective since in the Western Culture, being so wishy-washy and shy about confessing isn't commonly seen or heard. It makes you think. Are confessions in Japan mostly like this or is it overly exaggerated for the sake of entertainment?
Would I recommend this to a fellow weeb? Hell yeah.
Would I watch this again? I plan to already, skipping time to see my favorite ships slowly blossom once again.
Do I want a season 2? I pray that it'll happen!
This was definitely an enjoyable rom-com anime to watch and I would, without a doubt, rewatch it with fellow weebs and non-weeb friends. Definitely recommend 11/10, especially if you are a sucker for romance like me.
