This review was written after completing season 2 of the show but also covers season 1. First of all I would like to clarify that this review might be strongly biased. I was going through tough times myself when the show was airing and the show dealt with some of the problems I was going through and in some ways helped me overcome them. If youre just reading reviews because youre unsure whether or not you should watch this show watch it now. You can thank me later. Story: First and foremost this show is about one thing love. Not only the romantic kind of love but familial love. The kind of love that can change the person the most the kind of love that motivates you because you dont feel like you deserve it the kind of love that gives you hope for the future and also the kind of love that frightens you. What would become of you if that love suddenly disappeared? Without getting too much into spoiler territory the show deals with a vast array of problems with a focus on mental health. The show shows a realistic representation of how people actually act in difficult situations and how depression and other mental health issues can be different from person to person. Noone suffers in the same way and thats an important lesson we could all learn from. Art: The art in this show is beautiful. With shocking realism at times and other times very stylised. The show uses its art to convey the emotions of the story. If the story takes a dark turn so does the art and if the story lightens up so does the art. Sound: Much like the art of the show the music is also extremely well made and fits always perfectly with the situation happening on screen. The music itself sometimes had me in tears. The acting was also some of the best I have ever experienced. Especially Rei Kiriyama and Hinata Kawamoto played by Kengo Kawanishi and Kana Hanazawa respectively connected with me in ways few characters have ever done. Characters: I love every character in this show. Everyone was given reasoning for their actions and all of them seemed like people. Even the ones who seemed evil at first were shown to have insecurities of their own. This show did a fantastic job of showing why people act the way they do why people sometimes do terrible things because they are feeling trapped or unloved. There is always reasoning behind a persons actions even if their actions go against whats commonly deemed acceptable whether or not that justifies their actions I dont know. It just makes them more human and makes you feel empathy for them. Enjoyment: While watching this show it was not uncommon for me to reach for a pack of tissues. Emotionally this show connected with me in so many ways and it often brought me to tears. Seeing the final episode of season 2 was heartbreaking and I pray more of it will come. Overall: I think this show is a mustwatch for everyone who loves anime. Especially if youre going through tough times.
