I only watched the anime because the characters from Higurashi are in it. But the anime wasnt as bad as expected. someone who tends to be a pretty big fan of comedies. I even thought AhoGirl was funny but maybe that was just me relating to cataclysmic autism. If youre one of the many who love KonoSuba or one of the few who watched Mahoujin GuruGuru then theres no reason why you shouldnt like this one too. Is it as good as either of them? In ways no but thats not exactly the point. The point is its very much like those anime: a comedic adventure with lots of RPG elements weird and quirky side characters and the occasional meta joke. Last Period has more of an emphasis on meta jokes. One of the main characters Choco is acutely aware of being in a latenight TV anime that probably sucks dick according to normal standards and takes pot shots at it with no mercy. Cramming money jokes into a guys dialogue is lazy writing. She is literally referred to as Meme Girl by one of the other characters at one point. Lots of it is clearly obvious for the sake of the anime being more fun but there are some more subtle jokes as well such as gachas being complete bullshit. Also the Higurashi characters make a cameo. No really. But still it was so unexpected to see the characters from Higurashi in the anime that I found it funny. And I enjoyed seeing the characters. https://.anime2you.de/2018/04/lastperiod1.jpg Its clearly an anime that just wants to have fun with itself and doesnt really try to impress with any sort of plot or character development. And thats completely fine because it comes with a lot of heart. Theres a Team Rocket knockoff called Wiseman: a trio of girls with a talking mascot who questionably serve as the recurring villains of the series. They show up cause some hijinks and suddenly leave without really doing anything. Theres not much of an explanation or reason for them to exist but theres something genuine and nice about how playful their personalities areeven if you can combine them all as one character which is kinda the point. I cant exactly sell you the character of Wiseman in the form of a written review in fact I cant really sell any character in this anime because none of them have particularly strong personalities by themselveswith the exception of Choco whose presence is almost always some sort of oddity due to her constant deadpan look and repeated memespouting. That doesnt mean theyre bad characters because they work perfectly well in this series. What they lack in development they make up for in charisma. They bounce dialogue off each other well everyone has their own quick witty comments to make they dont feel awkward or dull despite their lack of depth which is why I say they work for the anime itself. It also helps that the character designs are super stronglike good god does this anime have some gorgeous women. Its about an average J.C. Staff production so its not spectacular but they maintain a respectable level of quality. Said character designs remain crisp and wellmade similar to Amanchu and also Shokugeki before it turned into a grade school powerpoint. It also features some pretty cute monsters that look like Pokemon. Also the anime has music and voice acting so 7/10 sound please click helpful on my review. The ED is really really good though because Wiseman sings sing? it and the one with the glasses is hotter than two fire ants fucking in a desert. IDK where I was going with this paragraph or this review because I fell asleep while writing it and dont care anymore but it needs to be posted because I saw that Last Period was getting shit on for no reason and felt the need to give my objectively subjective opinion on why everyone but me is wrong. Its a good show. https://i.yt.com/vi/Qz8IGlP838/maxresdefault.jpg Story 6/10 Animation 7/10 Sound 7/10 Character 6/10 Enjoyment 9/10 Memes Unyu/10 Overall 7/10 Favorite episode idk that one with the smartphone was some real Twilight Zone shit tho Recommendation level Mediumhigh
