Musicals are not something I’m usually into. I normally find the random breaks into musical numbers to be cringe and uncomfortable to watch, so for a show to make me love that really speaks volumes to the writing. Unlike live action musicals, Healer Girl actually takes a pretty intuitive approach to incorporate the acts into the show. Instead of the girls just randomly breaking out singing ala High School Musical, music is used to heal people in this world. In addition to regular medical personnel, so called Healer Girls are brought along to ensure the successful outcome of operations. The songs that are performed are always accompanied by beautiful visuals, lovely animation and of course some really amazing vocal talent, making them a treat to watch.
As with any wholesome and cozy show, the characters are the biggest sell of the show. Each and every girl in this show is waifu material and generally loveable. Personally, I fell in love with Reimi from the moment she appeared on screen. By far one of the best girls of the year. The other girls all have unique backstories and bring something different to the table creating an awesome experience.
As I said before, Healer Girl was easily the most slept on show of the season and it’s a shame. It really was such a nice way to start the week and lived up to its title by offering some nice healing after a long weekend. I will really miss the girls, performances and that gorgeous art style.
Healer Girl gets 10 notes out of 10.
