The main protagonist's dumb antics are painfully relatable only if you have experienced them before.
Koda Minare. Our MC is basically the main attraction of this show.
Rather, she is the show itself.
We follow her daily life.
Feisty, strong personality, drunkard, a little bit of a dork.
The life of an adult, that struggles, that get's drunk quite often because she has bad luck in men and has a massive hungover and still needs to be on time at work, and after she spent all her money on drinks the night before, she realizes that she does not have enough money to pay for rent.
It's clear that her life is not in order by any means.
Does that ring any bells? I think we all have been there.
Suffice to say this series is not for everyone.
Hence the low scores.
Which is sad, since I honestly believe that this is one of those hidden gems that appear every season.
It has, what it could be among the Top 10 or Top 20 OP & ED of the whole year. Despite still being quite early to say but i doubt that it could fall from those ratings.
Yes, that good. If you don't believe it, go ahead and listen to it.
I do hope that more people watch this show...
At least, give it a chance.
If the first 5 minutes of the show don't get your attention, don't waste your time and drop it, since this might not be for your taste.
Should you watch Nami yo, Kiitekure?
How can I give you a proper review without giving a massive spoiler for the series?
I will give you a comparison instead.
If you are a sommelier, a connoisseur if I may add, and by that I mean a full on weeb that has watched a fair share of anime then it will be pretty easy for you to understand the reference and what I am trying to say.
Do you remember Hayami Saori's role of Hatoko in Inou-Battle?
Do you remember the "I don't understand" scene?
That 2:50 of one of the greatest voice acting masterful performances, ever.
That. Exactly, that.
Think along those lines.
Sugiyama Riho is attempting to emulate or recreate what Hatoko's VA did and provide something similar in Koda Minare's (MC) performance throughout the whole show.
The concept of the radio exists in the story.
My opinion of it is that the radio was not the whole point.
Just a mean to an end.
What the author might had envision is something different.
Let's take it as a metaphore, since it's only the medium for your words to be heard.
Nowadays, nobody speaks their minds.
We follow protocols. We have become accostumed to a living, to a pattern, to what is the norm in society.
But there is always something that we have thought. "If I said that before, will things have been different?"
So what would happen if we have someone who does not force herself to follow said rules and is not bound to them either?
The ability to convey powerful and impactful emotions through the use of your words.
So, the main question is, why does her words echo in others?
That is the power.
To make people to listen to you. To become the voice of what is in the minds of others, afraid of saying those same things outloud...
