Tsuki Ga Kirei Special Summary
By: Seiji Kishi
This Special Episode is a compilation of short clips about every characters of the story. Funny scenarios which is totally not suitavle on the main story. I think, that is why this was created. It is cute, and adorable to watch. It will only take 15 minutes of your time and believe me, some of those clips will make you burst into laughter.
Overall: 9
Plot: 10
This series has been residing on my phone for almost a year now, I guess. I tried watching it previously and giving episode one a shot. This story is super light hearted and pure that I did not find myself continuing watching it. Might be because I've watch too many love stories and this kind of thing is very rare to me. The relationship of the main characters are slow pace, innocent, and young. It will make you miss how simple minded you are when you are young and how little thinga can flutter your heart. The story don't have any complex plot, or tragic lives, or something unique to show. It is just a simple but real romance that people nowadays forgotten. It was a love at first sight, a young love, a teenage love, a love of a lifetime.
Characters: 9
Not all characters are supposed to be popular, beautiful as a goddess, genius, prodigy. And that is what this series will show you. Every characters don't need to stand on the spotlight, some just need to make their own story on their own way. There's nothing amazing on both of the main characters. They are just an ordinary schoolers, studying in a average school, living the life they have. The way they struggle to get their feelings expressed on one another is just too cute. It is genuine. There's just one character on the story that I kind of dislike. She and her so so innocent act is really irritating. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like her.
Art and Animation: 9
I love the songs in this series. It is fleeting in the heart, and calm. It feels like you are standing in the middle of the forest full of flowers, with fresh air and a sound of water flowing near you. It is refreshing. The animation of the story is somewhat alike with Kimi no Nawa. Or maybe the main character only? She looks like Mitsuha. It is not my type of art, honestly. But I think that it perfectly fit the story. The calmness on the face of every character, the gracefulness of their movements, the voice they utter, it really matches the theme of the story and how cool is that, really.
Enjoyment: 8
You have to get used to it. You have to absorv that this story is not your typical shoujo anime with a lot of cliches. It won't show the character getting sick bed and is visited by their partner. It won't show something like a popular guy falling for a timid girl or vice versa. In short, you will have to prepare that it is a love story that might be boring for some, but refreshing for most. Well honestly, I got bored of it at first. But then, I realized it is a good watch. And then, I find myself close to the ending.
Ending: 9
I expected the ending. Well, the part where the ending show they did end up together, married with a son or daughter is really great. I love that kind of ending, in a love story that is. But before that, the thing that will make their relationship waiver. I knew it will end up that way. I just don't like how the main character of the story based his decision on the pulse of his heart, literally. That's just how young ones are, maybe. Most of the time, they just don't think at all. They grab onto something, hoping, wanting, without even thinking about each and every details of whys. I'm glad that it end up the way I want it.
