As for the show, if you’re into shoujosei then you’re going to love it a lot but if you aren’t into those demographics then it’s probably going to bore you due to the pacing etc. So do take a note of that.
Anyways I loved it and if I were to say then it has the vibe of wotakoi (kind of). Just the vibe, nothing else tbh as wotakoi had better animation, budget and pacing etc. So if you watch it with expectations of it being similar to wotakoi then you’ll be disappointed. The best thing about this show is there is literally no drama no love triangles, just wholesomeness. This surprisingly had a supernatural element wherein certain characters are descendants of mythical beings and channel their emotions based on their ancestors powers. For example, the ml, himuro is a descendent of Yuki-onna (snow women) so depending on his state of emotions etc he’d end up causing a blizzard etc. So these elements made it very intriguing. The fl fuyutsuki is a normal person (tsundere probably) and she accepts himuro for who he is so their chemistry sets off and the anime is just them chilling out. Himuro’s kansai-ben was such a treat especially whenever he went “mecchaaa-kawaiiiiii” along with a blizzard and a shamisen (I guess) bgm. I adored those parts so much! There isn’t even a process of them falling in love or confessions and stuff because they already are or rather they don’t care labelling their emotions. You won’t see them mulling over stuff like oh does he//she like me or how do I confess etc. They just seem married to everyone including the viewers…it is great in that sense.
The animation was great but I think around the middle I felt as if they weren’t showing much expressions at all, at first it definitely seemed cool but later it did feel stagnant. This series is not something you’d want to binge watch as you might get bored at times since they’re just chilling, watching movies, hanging out with colleagues so nothing unique there….but if you watch it like any slice of life anime then you’ll enjoy it! The manga chapters are quite short so in that sense the anime was well adapted to form a cohesive storyline. But I’d prefer the manga since I feel they’re more expressive there and it’s a short read so quite enjoyable too.
Overall I would rate it a 7 or 8 depending on whether you’re binge watching it (7) or watching at a slow pace (8).
Considering the open-ended ending I wonder if there will be a season 2 (since manga is not over I believe) but it’ll be great if they do make one :-)
